The Official PL Family Appreciation Thread: Part XI

New gym bag is awesomely awesome...two big compartments, long enough to keep my foam roller and bands in the very bottom. Belt, wraps, bands that I frequent, misc in the top big compartment. Two side pockets for chalk, shoes, socks, etc. One pocket on the front side for caffeine pills, earbuds, small stuff. Extending handle, wheels, and a rugged bottom shell. Tons of extra room for new goodies I'm diggin it...

Growing up in Kentucky involved never going to the doctor unless something crazy happened. I never saw the doctor for my nose until a year ago and I didn't feel like having it broken again, but I might end up getting it done.

Never broke mine, but I was born with a severely deviated septum. Finally got it corrected several years ago. They just went in and removed a bunch of cartilage. Surgery only took a couple of hours. Recovery was a bitch, though.

Wheels? Handle? How about you get strong enough to actually carry your own damned gym bag? It's bad enough nobody in airports carries their damn bags any more (I swear to God, the next time I travel I may punch the **** out of the "men" I see rolling a carryon behind them). Do we have to bring that **** into the gym too?

[baxtej44]

already peppered my angus... just looking for feedback on my deadlifts. always trying to learn



things i notice:
i may try starting a tad bit lower and see how that helps the following
my hips shoot up a bit before the bar moves... i need to be a little bit more patient off the floor
i feel like some of my lockouts look kind of weird... idk how to explain it



also, hamstrings were still not fully recovered from squatting if you think anything wrong could have been accentuated from that

you use knee wraps to make a squat easier, i use wheels to make carrying stuff easier its just common sense bro






not srs

If I ever get as strong as you are, I'll need convalescent care.

That dude Koyongi just broke a world record with his bench opener. Crazy.

Feet need to be much closer together, and arms should be outside of legs. Other than that, they looked pretty good!

More seriously, I didn't really see anything wrong but, I don't know **** about sumo so take that fwiw.

I do the over the shoulder with my giant bag at the airport.



I also look as good as her at the airport, but only at the airport.

Well when they see my flight is to Tulsa fawking Oklahoma they let me through. I mean who would want to crash a plane into a bunch of cows and tumbleweeds?

i actually thought about it and took your advice. while taking the last of my father-in-law's stuff to his storage unit i noticed he had some old seabags. it doesn't have any handles, but there's some rusty chain in the back of my truck that'll work just fine. can't wait till all the guys at the gym see how alpha i am...

bahahahahah

Or you could, just, y'know...use the shoulder strap and cloth handles present on most gym bags and carry the damn thing. My meet bag, packed to the gills with suits, wraps, liniments, prehab stuff, and a bunch of other things is heavy but I somehow seem to manage to carry it AND a large carryon AND a small carryon simultaneously, AND a full backpack. The meet bag in one hand, the other two in the other, and the pack on my back. Probably around 80-100lbs altogether, not including the pack. If/when I have other bags, I either make another trip, or have someone else get them.

Surely you can manage a gym bag, which does not need to contain everything you own, from the car to the gym and back a few times a week without relying on ****ING WHEELS. Even if you had 200lbs of chain in the thing, which I doubt you do, you should be able to manage to carry that short distances using the straps on a normal bag.

I mean, seriously. You're defending being unable or unwilling to carry your ****ing gym bag to and from the car. Do you also smoke while riding the escalator to the gym entrance?

[LegosInMyEgos]

Shut up fatty, I need advices on squat racks

[takeittakeit]

Shut up fatty, I need advices on squat racks

That looks similar to the rack we've got our Crepinsek attached to. If it is, I find it's wide enough, but not deep enough...on box squats it's not uncommon that I hit the rear uprights. As to width, I don't have a super-wide stance, either. It's certainly more than shoulder-width, but it's not extreme, and my toes usually wind up under the bottom crossbeams when I go wide, and toes touching them when I don't.

i'm not understanding why you're so hyperfocused on the fact that it has wheels, as if i said i was never going to carry it by hand...i used to carry my stuff to the gym in a canvas trader joe's shopping bag and thought this was a good buy since i needed more room...you must be a sad little man to get so worked up over something so trivial...

It probably has something to do with how defensive you got about it when I brought it up:

I figure its probably too shallow. I am really tempted because its 400-500 cheaper than the other racks that have ~8-10 inches more depth, but I will probably just suck it up and drop a little extra cash for something that should last a lifetime.

[arian11]

But I wasn't joking. AVG Anti-Virus came up with a red flag for some exploit on that site and recommended I not go to it.

Never broke mine, but I was born with a severely deviated septum. Finally got it corrected several years ago. They just went in and removed a bunch of cartilage. Surgery only took a couple of hours. Recovery was a bitch, though.

I will look into seeing if they could just fix the cartilage in my nose. Did the recovery period affect your training? Can you tell a big difference now?

That dude Koyongi just broke a world record with his bench opener. Crazy.

That's awesome.
