The Official PL Family Appreciation Thread: Part X

[bmontgomery87]

I'm sure Eric Lillibridge is a nice guy and all but I thought it was funny that he has to put in the title of his meet video that the total was with 2nd attempts. It kind of reminds me of people who make threads on here prefacing their lifts with whatever they can to make it sound better.

All that says to me was "I picked crappy/unrealistic third attempts".
I understand tons of variables come into play with gear, but when you're going raw, you should halfway know what you can hit, IMO.

Eating a large pepperoni pizza from say PapaJohns feels good man. From Chuck-E-Cheese not so much. I feel like puking.

Why in the world would you do that to yourself it's literally cardboard.

Can someone post the link to the guide for water loading? I didn't find it when I did a search. I have about 6-8 lbs to drop and a 24-hour weigh-in on Friday. Or just describe the basics.

check PMs

[TheStigIsBig]

**** you and your "at least 9 months of recovery", ortho. I'm officially registered to compete again December 1st, and I'm coming back stronger than ever.

lmao, ****in rack bro

[GuinnessStrong]

**** that ****ing rack, bro. I can't wait to get something that doesn't need bed risers under it to enable squatting.

You should be able to just squat off a normal bench at your height.

on spread, lol'd.


In other news, what is everyone's opinion about rotating weekly ME vs. 2 weeks in a row? I have a decent pool of bench lifts (1,2,3 board, floor, cgbp, and illegal wide) and have for the last 5 weeks changed it weekly. I know I am barely intermediate if that with about 20 months of training under my belt, but should I keep them an extra week or in the long run does it not matter? Can I make up for the weekly rotation with adding them back in as accessory work as needed?

[samsont]

I myself had the terrible dominoes and metamucil combo tonight. I am prepared

This is still better than knowing I can viking press off a t-bar row

[simp3204]

Best ones weigh 9-12lbs. One way to determine quality is to bend it. If it is nearly hard as a board it has too much fat in it. You want a good bend in a brisket.

I didn't know the bend trick. I will bend the next brisket before I buy it.

I've done it both ways, and had success each way. Currently I'm rotating weekly thru a short movement list, and varying grips after each pass thru the list of movements. Be sure each movement you choose has its purpose in your rotation and just work hard. Whether you rotate weekly or bi weekly won't matter as much as the effort you apply in the gym.

Lol. I train with a tiny guy who is a beast. Its pretty fun to watch actually.

I approve of short jokes because I'm jelly of their ROM and the ease at which they can buy clothes.

Your squat is shot bro...no leverage now

[Jason2459]

Well I finally ate enough to break even this morning maybe. 194.2 still. But I'm very scared. I haven't pooped yet and tummy is still making creaking like noises.

[hammerfelt]

Hopping on a plan tonight, headed to Vegas.

Woke up this morning feeling awesome. Pumped for the competition!

[runtocatch]

I just got half way through the super training video with Dan Green deadlifting along with Mark Bell. That Mark Bell is a funny sumbuck. I think he gets funnier as time goes on. I remember back in that Bigger, Stronger, Faster video how he was a little shy actin and chit but it seems to have gone away. I was pissin my pants laughin at the excuses he was makin for missin one of his pulls. Funny dude for sure.

lol. Again this one goes straight to the extreme possibilities (twinkie diet, eating 2800 cals of donuts, bulking on mcd's, etc). I kind of like the satiety argument against calorie vs calorie, but that doesn't say anything about calorie vs calorie.

Nice, the gym I go to here is 24 hour access. You gonna go with security cameras so nobody steal sh!t or brings in non-members? I'm assuming your costs are gonna go up as well from getting insurance to cover someone getting hurt when you're not there plus extra electricity cost from lights/music being on all night.

[ErickStevens]

Yep! It has more to do with our wedding gifts, but I'll take it.

Yeah, we're getting a few cameras. I'm willing to pay the additional costs in order to have an actual life.

Nice job. Our owner just gives people a key after they've been there for a few months. I'm actually surprised we haven't had more go missing.
