The Official PL Family Appreciation Thread: Part X

[ampUP11]

Oh there will be RAW which is just a cotton t-shirt. Then you can go gear and wear your bowling shirt. And even though it isn't an actual division, dumb people on forums will talk about RAW RAW which is no wrist protector. Also, we will break the divisions by age, weight, right handed or left handed, spin or no spin, thumb in or thumb out of hole, and bumpers or no bumpers that way everyone gets a medal.

How the hell are handicaps going to work in? We'll get crushed by the 65+ senior bowling division...

[ShortDave]

How about for a 250lb guy just starting PLing at 35 lol? My bench sucks no matter what the criteria is. I hit 315 in my first comp.

Anything over 3 plates should get you a respectful nod of approval from any lifter, but at your weight you should be closer to 400+lbs. Remember that even though bench may have the most street cred, in powerlifting there are two other lifts so even if you aren't a great bencher hopefully you can make up for that in the squat and deadlift.

Yeah I hit 415 on squat and 500 on dead, but both of those have improved a lot since then. I hit 550 deadlift this week and 475 on squat last week. I just wish benching was easier for me

If everything were easy, then nothing would be easy.

Down to wreck the fam in some bowling.

RAW RAW though.

[ampUP11]

Lol, you are like 50 lbs behind, ain't happening.


I'm in.

Last time I checked you're still at 265 and I've moved up 35lbs since september.

In on race to 3 plates.

Was your 235 paused? I've hit 265 paused twice in competition. I've hit 275 touch n go and 275 paused in the gym. I should have more than 265 in comp but I got cocky on my 3rd and missed 281 like a *******.

Was not TnG but probably not enough of a pause for competition. Will not revisit raw bench till end of year, back to the boards again.

281 was close, a couple inches higher and you would've grinded lockout.

[JHenry47]

Tired of being weak as ****..

haven't squatted in a month, it's time to give my run at Starting strength. Figure i'd run it till I can't no more, and then program hop like the masses say to do. finally feeling healthy..

95lbs squat 3x5... **** injuries.

whats the heaviest any of you ran LP to? Ive done westside/5/3/1 before but i'm weak so I figured id do a beginner program, so this should be interesting.

also, question, since i'll be squatting 3 x a week and i'm not used to that, figured it's a good idea to do conventional deadlifts instead of sumo, right? . I dont wanna beat my hips up too bad(thats what im still recovering from 11 months later).

Doing LP right now! I've heard of people running their squat up to the mid 400s. Currently I'm at 345x5 squat 205x5 bench. When I went home for fall break I deadlifted 530 with terrible form but no hitching

What's your current PRs on 1 and 2 board? I did floor press as my ME movement this week but I'll probably do a board press next week.

A month ago i hit 235 2 board and 225 1 board, longer pause and didnt stay tight.

Im skipping 3 and focusing on 1,2,floor, and cgbp 1/2 board on occasion. Tate press and jm press have improved my bench dramatically.

Yea I think I'm gonna do floor, 2 board, cgbp and then repeat them for my 6 week block.

[ShortDave]

I'm not really a regular around here so I am sure it has been covered but why do you know this feel? Do you have an injury or are you just not great at the bench press?

[austin.j.taylor]

I highly doubt that. I would make you beg for mercy on the alley.

A little bit of both. I have a derpy right arm that loves to fail before my left.

Make it a Team Wong vs Team DANG competition. That way you get to bowl and update that thread that is going dead, kiss 2 elephants with 1 stapler.

I got that ultra pure stuff bro.

But bro, I got the wing span of a 6'3" person so I'm allowed to use it as an excuse!

heh?

I'm pretty sure only dtaps would laugh at that.

You guys must be really good deadlifters then.
