The Official PL Family Appreciation Thread: Part XI

Anybody got any moving tips to make my life easier this weekend? I'm so fukkin tired of moving at this point.

Avoid stairs at all costs.
Rubbermaid totes are easier than boxes.
Take your favorite recliner, leave the couches. Buy new ones from a place that will deliver for you.
Make sure you have toilet paper readily available during the move. It must be ready at the new place while also being left at the old place.

I have black and red chucks but since they were custom they are longer than regular ones...so I never wear them. With my blue rehbands I'll probably never match

Yep, I always get my Chucks one size smaller.

Yeah. Spend way too much money to have other people do it for you. Save some to buy a bunch of alcohol so you can drink away your rage at the stuff they break.

There's usually plenty of people standing outside of Home Depot that are willing to help.

Think of it as strongman training and quit being such a whiney ****...seriously how much stuff can you have?

I helped my boss move yesterday for 3 hours....I would much rather carry a heavy ass yoke for 80' than a light couch up three flights of stairs and around tight corners....

The packing and unpacking is what drives me crazy, the actual moving is not so bad.

[Doollas]

Well the ones from the store seem about right, when I got the custom ones though they were at least a half size longer (width same maybe?).

What are best shoes for strongman stuff...like yolk or farmers walk, sled dragging, that kinda stuff?

[HARRYBEAST]

lol, I was just giving you a hard time and get what you're saying. I'm just more into building mental toughness in training and with fractional plates kind of defeat that.

I got some Superman chucks for Christmas and had this issue. I just double up on socks with them

I was surprised how many of the guys in the WSM were wearing oly shoes for things like the yolk walk, keg toss, and of course the squats and the OHP

Different flavors for different folks.

You see everything from Poundstone in tennis shoes to work boots. I wear New Balance Minimus shoes for pretty much everything. Oly shoes for overhead. Something like a sled drag or truck pull would benefit from a rock climbing shoe. Hiking boots, vibrams and Nike Frees are all rather popular?

use moving as an excuse to stop being so materialistic. Get rid of everything you don't absolutely need.

Word. I always get rid of a bunch of useless **** when I move.

Are you suggesting he get rid of his wacky waving inflatable tube man collection? You bite your tongue good sir!

[simp3204]

Got hired for that 'Machinist Trainee' job today. Pay is crap but, it's a trainee position and, it is steady income. Full time and they will work around my school hours. I'm pretty excited to finally be employed again.

Congrats! Time to work your way up.

yeah, that is always a lot easier when you have more time/a planned move.

also true. i just want to gtfo right now.

[thom2355]

Last time I had a quick move, I got a sh*tty apartment and a storage unit. Backed right up to the storage unit and threw everything in there for a couple months. Took pics ahead of time/during and sold most of it on CL. The rest I either held onto at the nicer apartment, or threw away.

[HARRYBEAST]

I need to go through my closet and throw out all my Large size stuff

[darren.dugan]

I need to go through my closet and throw out all my Large size stuff

Me too. I've a pile of large shirts and undersized pants that have been sitting in my closet since I moved into my current apartment back in November. Just been too lazy to take it all to the Goodwill drop-off a mile away.

I keep thinking I will lose my gut and feel good busting out of my large shirts

So on Sunday I was supposed to start Smolov in preparation for a powerlifting meet I wanted to attend in April. I did something and screwed up my hip flexor, and it hurt to walk. I rested until today, and then went back into the gym and tried some squats. Had to stop squatting early because of how much pain I was in.

Then I decided I was going to do some benching, and I’m pretty sure I partially tore a tendon at the origin of my left front delt. So basically I cant squat or bench for a while so this **** heals, which means theres no way I’ll be able to hit the numbers I want for my first PL meet, which means I’m pretty much ****ing depressed and pissed off.

I’m debating on just being a jackass and deadlifting until my ****ing back breaks.

****.

i has a sad.

[InspecktaDeck]

Are you playing strongman or powerlifter tonight? How is the old man feeling?

He is waaay too strong for his size.

So deal with your injuries and wait to compete if you cannot come in near 100%. It sucks, but happens to pretty much everyone if you push it enough. Gotta work through injuries and do what you can.

What???? People get hurt, no ****ing way.

That's what I'm working towards...maybe one day. If you knew how he trained you'd be jelly as fuark.He also JUST started pulling conventional again after a glute injury which caused him to pull sumo for several months.

The weight classes in the OHP contest suck ass. 165-190 is ridiculous. No way I'm cutting for a misc content, guess i've got 2 months to gain 20lbs lol

Yeah I know. I'm just stubborn and dont like getting beat, especially not by my own body.
