Mine looked like a buffalo bar with 500 and change loaded onto it for a walkout. Was legit scared it would snap when I unracked it.

Maybe you can do 1-hand rows with it?

[CurltonBench]

hani, wouldnt it be cool if this coefficient would actually change the percentages on the mainlifts in the program? im ridiculously low rep dominant and Ive already put this in manually but itd be something cool i havent seen done before in online programs. really enjoying the program thanks for putting it out.

Damn.

Maybe. I think we'll see what happens once the OPB comes in.

Also feels on the buffalo bar. I know what you mean.

Have to slow down squat rep work to let it settle before attempting another rep.

Honestly I dunno that any of us have played with that manipulation at all, lol. What it does do is change what the system interpolates as the associated percentage at a given RPE.

What you could do (in theory) is reverse the percentages written, approximate what RPEs they are, then use the chart. BUT this would simply be interpolating suggested weights from RPEs and defeat the purpose entirely. It is there as more of a guideline.

that is to say

a low rep dominant athlete would have a different %1RM as 2@8RPE than a high rep dominant athlete. Obviously there are other factors, but training adaptations will matter here.

well bros put together the RH and GHD tonight gon be using them all the time

also used the strap for the RH for the first time and going to be ordering the rollers asap dont really feel the RH at all with the straps compared to the rollers iv used

[JRMoore82]

Does the GHD help all that much?

The strap fukin sucks. Nothing like slightly fuking up the swing and having it jar back down on you.

Help with what?

It helped me a lot with rehabbing my hamstring and adding some mass to the back of my legs

[breathinglife]

what in the actual fuk...

Whaaat that's sick. Strong squat gains... that's a big competition PR for him. Also, face bloat PR as well.

Sorry for cryptic question.

But that's what I meant.

Wood not want to be on the wrong side of a bar room brawl with him.

Dudes that size are why I carry a gun and a spare mag lol. And I'm not small

[NorthStrong]

Just got around to watching the 72kg women's IPF worlds open flight...holy **** that finish. Priscilla's deadlift was just ridiculous.

[TheIronAsylum]

i like it for hamstring i kind of wish i would have ordered a ghd that i could adjust the hip/knee pad so i can make the movement harder but i think i may mess around with propping the back end up to mimic what im talking about

The strap fukin sucks. Nothing like slightly fuking up the swing and having it jar back down on you.

yea i wish the rollers werent like 250 or some bs

[JRMoore82]

Only option as I'm sure a caddle prod wouldn't work.

Before that big Australian comp, Kirill was stabbed in the chest and that's why he "only" benched 600something.

All I could think was--who would stab THAT guy?

If you want to stab someone, there are over 7 billion people in the world to choose from.

If I had to choose, I think Kirill would be LAST on my list.

[JRMoore82]

^^did the knife bend on impact??

Better run your ass off if you stab that guy........

[Rags85]

Kirill ultra raw stab wound bench.

[JRMoore82]

^^you know how they say there are men who still can put real men to shame??

This guy puts those dudes to shame.

Mirin hard.

How'd the meet go? Bloat enough?

Thanks for asking! Yeah, everything ended up going pretty well.

First equipped meet in the books. Ended up with a 665kg total, with

Squat: 240x/245/255
Bench: 140/147.5/152.5
DL: 240/250/257.5

Video: https://youtu.be/-DKGgNqM-6k

Only missed lift was my first squat for depth (3 reds). I need 20kg more to qualify for equipped nationals, which I'm hoping to hit in February. My fcuked up pec continues to drag down my total even with a bench shirt, but hopefully I can afford some more sports massages soon to help get rid of all the scar tissue in there. And get a tighter bench shirt so I can use my pecs less. If you watch the vid you can see how easy it is for me to touch everything.

Good stuff man, I'm doing my first equipped bench meet this weekend, probably will do a full meet in March. Shirt does look pretty loose.

For anyone who didn't know this went down at WRPF worlds.... very strict 249 lb curl from Russian arm-wrestler Denis Cyplenkov. With a tiny bit of swing I bet he could do over 315 easily. That super strict form makes it almost impossible to curl anything in my experience. He's also close grip benched 595 or so, so yeah... strong arms.

How did your pec get messed up?

[Big.Jazayrli]

I really hate that strict curling is still remotely considered powerlifting. Makes us look stupid imo.

B-but oddlifts.....

nah I'm with you

[breathinglife]

Yeah, I always found it lulzy when someone registered for curl in SPF or NASA.

Was that even officially part of the competition?
