Making a powerlifting mega thread

[SoaringSwine]

Just quorting myself from the family thread:

I'd like to help in making one. If we do I assume you'll stickie it for us?

I think we'd need a name along the lines of "The ultimate powerlifting thread, read before asking any question OR DIE" (well you get the idea)

I think it should be set up in one thread (no links to other threads), but there is an index at the top so you can just skip to what you want. Of course the aim of the thread to be to answer any basic powerlifting question that we get 2804764 times a day.

Possible sections should include (perhaps not in this order):

* What is powerlifting?

* "I bench/squat/deadlift xxx at xxxlb is that good for my age/good enough to compete?"

* Routines for beginner powerlifters

* Routines for intermediate to advanced powerlifters

(Make it clear how one should progress between programmes etc. Thankfully most of this work has already been done for us by Mochi)

* What is powerlifting gear? (perhaps include the basic arguments for and against it)

* How competitions work (including rules, how lifters encourage each other etc.)

* The Squat

* The Bench

* The Deadlift

(These will basically be a technical run down of the lift accompanied by videos etc., would also be good to diagnose common form deficiencies etc. too)


I've got to go, I'm sure there's some more **** to add to this list. When I get back I might make a thread about it. We'll need writers for each of the sections (I'll do a couple). If you feel like helping say so!

So make changes, add topics etc. And if you feel qualified put your name down for a topic.

EDIT:

if anyone has anything good PM it to me and Il put it in this post so it will be easy to see

[FatKidsOnMopeds]

Awsome idea. Hopefully there will be no more "hay i becnh 300 im 15 is that gud??" Those make me RAAAAAGGGGGGEEE.

[DallasLynx]

I think a good topic would be a thread on conjugate periodization and another on linear periodization. NOT an argument over which is better, but an outline and discussion of various formats.

For the love of everything don't include "arguments for or against gear" in the thread on gear. Nobody wanting an opinion on equipment will ever be able to find anything. It will just be a big argument.

We should just hand the dirty work over to the cannibal. Or atleast expand on a few of the periodization+strength (at the biological level) articles he has done

My vote for kiknscreem writting the Squat and Deadlift technique section. God forbid someone forget to maintain a scapular angle of 45.9 degrees (Joking)

[BLARZEE]

I know everything about westside training because I have read every article by the great Louie Simmons and seen every video and dvd available

you mean on right peridoziation and wrong periodization,right?

We could also include a best of threads index. Like I said before, there are hidden gems in this section. For example, Arlecchino has made great threads, but I wouldn't know how to find them if I wanted to read them again, like his thread on how to prepare for a 1st comp, etc.

Swolegantor had a good idea too, I could complement on my initial thread on periodisation by doing something about conjugate, concurrent and linear periodisation theories.

[holbee]

I'm interested. Please let me know how I may help.

WWLD?

I think someone organizing the stickies that are already there and making them easy to read and not allowing anything to be posted in them besides the info would be a great place to start. Then fill in as necessary

[Arlecchino]

I actually like the idea of links to other threads as well. Cuts down on the amount of cut and paste, re-writes, etc.

However, if someone would like something specific written, let me know.

[BLARZEE]

We should make a thread dedicated to everything Louie Simmons imo.

One of the reasons I actually favor links to other threads. One thread per subject, that way all of the info on each subject stays organized.

As I said in the Family Appreciation Thread, Mochi's Thread used to suffice. It's now hidden in the "Best of Stickies Thread."

Agreed, conjugate vs linear is a good topic. Probably right about the arguments over gear, best to leave it to basic info (how they work etc.)

Agreed, definately have a best of threads.

Yeah I'm aware of that thread, definately use that for the programme section.



It seems people favour the link idea. So far we have Mochi's threads. Shall we start thread possibilites in here and then work out what we'll need to write ourselves.

Do you mind including the thread topic so we can see where we're at at a glance Arlecchino.

[ruga buga]

A section on the basics of equipped lifting would be great too. Not an argument over which is better as was said above but just how it works, where to find the stuff, ect
