The Official PL Family Appreciation Thread: Part XI

[Jason2459]

Gamma Labs bought it for me. Yup, the original powerbelt.

btw, gamma's g-fuel is the bomb

[arian11]

Don't tell them you threw the belt though as abnormal abuse is probably not covered.

Tossing your belt sounds pretty normal for a powerlifter lol. I'll tell them it broke while squatting 1000 lbs and I almost died.



In other news, I regret to inform you guys but I have been caught.

2/26/13 - PEAKING BLOCK - DAY 3
WEIGHT 226.8 LBS

BENCH PRESS
280x2
280x3 (5 lbs PR)

Not in that video.... nuh-uh.

Elbows barely reach the TOP of the bench...

Sternum...what?????

Angle on the vid was really good to see your ROM.

Those weren't bench presses. Nowhere near your chest. It actually looks further away the more I watch it. They look like that board **** you do, but without the boards.

It's 285 - its only like 50 lbs more than you weigh....let it drop down. To your chest. And press it.

I am not the bencher you thought I was. I am not your Bench Press King. I know 280x3 at 230 lbs bw is surreal and thought I was the only one capable of such a feat, but this is just not true. I'm sorry I wasted your time. I'm sorry you wasted your money. I'm sorry you believed in something that just was down right incorrect. As of now, I will be dropping the title as your Bench Press King and allow someone else to be elected. xrequiem could be a good candidate.

To his credit, he's just being a good 'Murican by being naturally distrustful of people with dark skin

You'll always be my bench press king.... Well not king per se, but definitely a bench press sheik or maybe even a sultan

I had one prong(?) break on my inzer forever belt on monday. I went to put it on and it just chipped off. Let me know how their customer service is.

G fuel is good stuff. Taste is awesome.

I got a race warning for posting that gif before.

I think when I do my first meet I'm going to celebrate with a custom embroidered bobs belt with the colored stitching...

inb4 ****gs I train with have some smart ass comment...

[martin_mathers]

My next belt is gonna be a custom made pink or purple belt that says "striated glutes" on the back

[TheStigIsBig]

I just got off the phone with them. I had a prong break as well. They said you ship it to them and it takes two weeks to get it back to you since they repair it for free. But you have to pay the 9 dollar shipping cost for the return back and put the check/money order in the box along with your billing and shipping information for them to confirm.

[getout87]

There was a guy at my gym that broke the two prongs off of his lever belt, and they just sent him a new part. I guess it's a bit different for a single prong.

Nice.

I mean I've been using my lever belt with 1 prong for like a year now and haven't noticed any difference.

What does the fam think of this???




Great Idea?
meh?
The Fukk you doin?

[GuinnessStrong]

Your dress is much more revealing...

Mirin dem knee caps of peace?

Nice. Did you have to get her that high to marry you?

She said she started crying when her dad started walking her in and couldn't quit laughing at how pathetic that was. I think drinking a bottle of champagne while weighing less than a sack of feathers really did it.

[ShortDave]

I would say too much bounce, if it was a full stop each rep I'd be okay with it.

[Torrtrefireto]

meh. Seems like it could be great if you could actually make it be like the first bit of a pull, but I don't think you could

I've always wondered about overloading the bottom of a deadlift doing something other than defecits and the only thing my shytty brain can think of is some sort of hook system that holds the bar down completely for a second which will then be pulled by a partner and let you rocket up

My idea I'm going to patent is balloons. You fill balloons with water/sand/whatever and tape or band them to the plates. Then you place needles at the height you want to deload. More weight off the ground. Balloons hit needle and water/sand spills on floor. Lighter at the top.

[Torrtrefireto]

Thatd weird MFer would totally do it

he's gonna see the video and pull 1115

Looks like a good belt bro but what do you say at the kit check when you go to a meet with their logo like that?

[Jason2459]

Would probably only matter at an IPF event and certain USAPL events. I don't know of another federation that would care.

[Jason2459]

Has anyone heard from Bene? Last I heard he going to drop a lot of weight.

[Liftamulti]

I demand that be in my routine.



Just kidding, he looks like a huge *******.

[simp3204]

I don't remember the exact number but I know he did cut quite a bit of weight.

[arian11]

I heard the Misc made fun of him for only deadlifting ~2.5x his bodyweight. So now he is cutting weight so he can be strong for his size.

No...You can have chit on your belt.

That's interesting but you can't on your singlet?

[SPFjudge]

All that stuff's going to be up to the meet director. Some state meet, meet directors will be dicks about following these rules. Others, not so much.

IDK Specifics on the singlets at national meets, but the shirts have to be paying teams shirts, aka titan, inzer, quest, con crete, GNC, etc. Everyone talks about this like its some sort of craziness but every other sport has these rules too. Wouldn't see a WSM competitor with a Con Cret logo shirt. I've seen every type of singlet imaginable (including Link's).

I'm not against it at all. I would rather every meet director follow the rules so there is no confusion and have consistency everywhere. I have no idea how strict my meet will be up in April but I went ahead and got other wraps and singlet that are IPF approved. Then I don't have to worry about anything and can lift anywhere.
