The Official PL Family Appreciation Thread: Part XI

Lesson learned: always go heavy.

Will do

When doing overhead presses, remember to breathe.

That was exactly the problem!

It was a weird feeling, I wish somebody recorded it

I've had that same issue with front squats, I think its just from racking the bar on your chest

I never had a single issue like that until Spring but now almost every workout I get light headed and dizzy, a few times wobbly legged, and once straight up blacked out

I just blamed my diet. If I ate pizza and ice cream yesterday nothing bad would have happened today.

[darren.dugan]

I think I set a vodka and diet PR last night. Four hours of sleep too... Blah.

I set a 151 and girly drink PR last night. That is, until I got 3 red lights for puking it back up.

My face went numb doing 5s on squats last week. Not breathing + pushing against belt= lol where did my nose go.

HBD dude, you still alive?

I couldn't stay upright worth **** and couldn't hold air. Got a nice stripe of hate up the back of my head now.

Lol thank you for that, I needed a laugh.

Fun deadlift session today bros.

I cannot even comprehend this

There shouldn't be much strain on your wrists if you rack the bar properly. Work on mobility in your lats and triceps and when you rack the bar make sure you're lifting your elbows and shoving the bar into your throat.

Am I supposed to feel like I'm choking myself on front squats? I feel like squats are harder when you can't breathe. Suck it up, princess?

Thank god I am not the only one who drinks this. I order it and people look at me in disgust.

You're not supposed to breathe while you are squatting so I don't see what the problem is.

[Doollas]

Anybody in here know how sealing arrest records works? Like can the FBI open sealed records for full background checks?

[happylifter]

Well I passed out in the gym for the first time. I was doing light overhead presses, something felt wrong so I racked it then I was on the floor shaking and people were asking if I was okay. The left side of my head hurt too.

So that was fun.

"The opposite of crossfit"

thats why crossfit requires no passing out

[Torrtrefireto]

Does anyone know some successful high frequency based lifters that offer advice to us lesser individuals?

Not necessarily 7x a week lifters, but squatting 3x a week or so?

Depending on the charge you can always strike a deal to have it off your record, that is if you didn't kill Chloe Moretz or something...LAM may be showing up at your window tonight srs.

You've already talked to my friend Mike. Do you follow Layne Norton's Youtube channel? He is following my friend's programming. He's like squatting/benching/deadlift 3-4x a week. And actually making some nice gains.

Oh yeah - I think I'm going to clean things up a bit before my next meet so I can be a 220er. After that all bets are off.

What is considered official? I'm 221 lbs right now.

Heavier than 220, lighter than 242.

[coachdeez]

Pretty much this. Lift your elbows and set the bar as far back as you can. Your center of gravity is slightly in front of your heel and you want to get the bar over that center of gravity in order to keep your torso vertical.
