The Official PL Family Appreciation Thread: Part XI

[csday924]

For pl I seem to better with a set plan but I cannot program am for anything and just train it by feel. I do consider what jason said to be a plan as I train deathlifts the same way currently and is has been both fun and productive.

[arian11]

I was always set/reps/% based for my training but some of you *******s have been beating that sh!t outta me.

[Fivefootkillerz]

I've only done by feel for squats and deadlifts but i like having a routine with weights and reps already figured out. I dont have to stress about stupid stuff and can just lift.

With being set/rep/% based for every session or for people teaching me another way of training?

[ShortDave]

We settled on ME singles for floor press today.




I missed this one but my floor press is historically weaker than my full press so this is promising

[darren.dugan]

you still thinking of doing a strongman comp? I know for a while you were considering it.

If i wasnt going to raw nats this summer, i probably would be signing up for parker days.

...so, no strongman for me in the forseeable future. Plus, i may move back to AZ next year if that anti gun sht passes here in Co

cardio is no fun without stimulants

Hey Fam, what Titan wrist wraps should I get from liftinglarge for my USAPL meet next month?

[LegosInMyEgos]

y do I have to have a genetic strongpoint that isn't relevant in oly or powerlifting?



notfair/10

didn't Ed Coan say that if you can do your BW 10 times that you are on that master race time?

was expecting a lot more to be honest.

I have a video of 235 at about 180 lbs somewhere, but that was with a belt and 15 lbs heavier back when I actually trained the press.

[arian11]

the first one

It depends on what your training philosophy is. Having a set in stone thing to do for a session could hold you back on a good day or mess you up on a day where your strength just isn't there. Never mattered for me before, I was enough of a beginner where I could still hit the numbers on a bad day. These days, my squat is all over the place any given day. Depends how my lower back is feeling and whatnot. So its better for me to go by feel instead of trying to chase a set program and screwing up.

I've had both the RPM's and THP's and they're both good.

[Jason2459]

My thumbs are still numb from Wednesdays Max effort pulls. Maybe I should have eased more into it instead of just torturing myself and forced myself to keep going.

Which one will match your socks better?

[SCJuggernaut]

Really? I touched 225 no problem with my slingshot on when i was trying it out.

Also, hipsters make my want to punt puppies.

Same here. I've gone down to 225 with no problem at all.

Juggernaut I'm guessing its not the regular red one?

It's the regular slingshot.

I went light and tried 230, but felt off with 3 reps. I then loaded 270 without resting, but same result with 2 reps... "felt" like I was not touching.
I was wearing the opening exactly on the midline of elbow. Would moving the sleeves higher or lower help?

Is my problem that the slingshot threw me off and made me round my shoulders and eliminated w/e arch I had? I'm not sure if I relaxed and didn't work against the slingshot to squeeze my back and keep it tight. That's the only thing I can think of that would increase distance of touching chest.

btw, I bench with a somewhat close grip.

JW why are you doing hook grip? Tried it once and said F that noise. I do have pretty big hands so grip hasn't ever been an issue (so far).

I've never had an issue with grip and not worried about it either. I'm basically doing it for the fun of it. Really a stupid reason especially for how painful its been but in that sadistic sort of way I'm enjoying the challenge. I should be better off in the long run too. As I'm getting older I'm going to be a lot more prone to pulling and breaking things.

I have a serious question....How come when we have an obvious troll thread the only people that post in the thread are people that aren't usual posters here??? Is it like a big group of trolls that come from somewhere else?

just like here:

thread was moved here by another mod as a joke...i think.

[simp3204]

The RPM's are soft and comfy, the THP's not so soft and comfy.

Which one will match your socks better?

Good point. I also try to match my briefs.

I was thinking the same thing when I was reading that thread. The pics of the OP are pretty funny.

Arian, if you haven't already read it, you'd love Mike T's reactive training manual.
