The Official Powerlifting Family Appreciation thread: Part XV

Which other feds beside the IPF enforce proper depth?

[zmcdole]

Nah, I would never begrudge him actually going to stuff for/with his kids. This is 100% to blame on new pussy, not unforeseen family stuff. And yes, he specifically stated several times that he was doing this meet.

I wasn't even mad per se...it's just disappointing to find out you really can't count on someone at all

ah new pussy lol

USAPL and USPA,

Which other feds beside the IPF enforce proper depth?

I was impressed with USPA judging. Did a meet last year and have seen a stream or two where judging was good.

At least one chair at an SPF meet when Bill Newman's sittin in it.

now, what if I were to tell you that this is what the younger generations (my age group especially) talk about all day every day everywhere in a university setting and that it's damn near impossible to make a joke about anything without someone getting their feelings hurt and mouthing off about it to everyone in a holler's distance?

fuk.

not even clicking because my jimmies have been imploded by just reading the titles.

Know what you mean about the college setting and political correctness and all the supposed "privlages", can't stand it.


Edit: Curiosity got the best of me and I clicked on the male privlage one. Whatever guy wrote the quote is the biggest estrogen filled male-apologist beta ever. Holy **** what is society coming to

[baize82]

Fresh mohawk and a beard trim got me like "didn't need him there anyway"

Only positive thoughts until the meet's over

to all the skinny ***got that were saying that pozdeev have no quads:


Before you say that Dan Green's are bigger: yes, but I somewhat doubt we can use Dan Green as a standard considering he walks at around 270 atm per Bill's statement.

Did somebody actually say that? Pretty sure Dan Green has stated at just about every seminar he gives that the reason he added so much Quad work was after seeing Pozdeev's freakish quads when he competed against him in Russia. There's even an article Green wrote somewhere that references it.

Mr. Green did look extra huge this past weekend. Was jelly.

Can confirm, I've heard him say it at a seminar. I think the previous argument started from someone hearing Dan Green say it then them personally thinking Pozdeev didn't have huge quads.

Guys that are really awesome technical sumo pullers, I could watch that **** for hours...they make it look so effortless

he got sick, is back "down" to 260

is no longer sick tho and is hitting PRs left and right and jelly jelly jelly. (even though I'm hitting PRs too)

Yup. Even went as far as to mention that they felt they had bigger legs than him.

Ya, his legs did seems pretty normal on that 400kg squat video filmed on a potatoe, but i tend to trust Dan Green when he himself mentions it.

Him and belyaev are crazy efficient.... I just wish Belyaev could focus more on powerlifting and had bigger hands (no homo)

I mean his quads look pretty small to me. Obviously he's stupid strong, so it doesn't matter. Look at the size of his quads to his calves. Again this isn't negative at all, I'm just saying I think they're pretty small compared to a lot of other PLers.

He is a phenomenal puller, but my question is this: Why does he hyperextend his neck near lock-out? I always thought that basically anything that brought your cervical spine out of alignment with the rest of your spine, was a bad thing, from both a performance and durability standpoint.

I'm the one who posted a vid of him lifting that's only a few weeks old and said I didn't see what the hype was about. I believe Michael is the guy who said his our bigger. Other people agreed that they didn't look very big, so unless something's changed in a couple weeks I'm sticking to my statement.


Edit can't watch the vid you posted currently.

[NorthStrong]

Pozdeev is awesome to watch

How do you guys feel about shrugs? Honestly thinking about them for bench assistance. What about adding a little elbow flexion at the top to retract the scaps more and thus do more upper back work? I guess sorta like a standing row if that makes any sense. I think this would also be beneficial for stabilizing my shoulder- I separated my shoulder a year ago and it has permanent structural changes because of this. I feel like strengthening the upper back would minimize any potential negative effect of these changes.

I don't do them very often and to be honest I think if you're squatting and deadlifting with regularity as well as training your shoulders via assistance work, you probably won't ever have to do shrugs.

I do them because of everything you stated




and #noskinnychampions is the greatest hashtag I've ever seen

[baize82]

Shrugs are the most mind-numbing exercise in the gym for me, so I don't do them

bigger deadlift = bigger traps

Edit: or maybe it's squatting that did it lol

[breathinglife]

Weirdly enough, I used to be obsessed with upper back development. I'd do a workout like:
135x10 high pulls
225x5 high pulls
275x5 lowish pulls (to bottom of rib cage)
315x5 low pulls (to belly button)
365x5 low pulls
405x3 deadlift, 12 shrugs
455x 3 deadift, 12 shrugs

...and so on, and so on, topping out at 95% of my DL max. I still had tiny traps. Then I started front squatting 3x per week and my traps exploded and my upper back strength is much better. I dropped the shrugs totally and felt like I didn't even notice a difference.

Cliffs: weirdly shrugs did not seem helpful for deadlift or trap development. Front squats did.

I'm convinced progressively overloading on front squats is the best thing you can do for anything lol

Did people really think Bert was mentally handicapped when he worked there?

F*ck Time. Seriously top 5 on my **** list. "We were only doing what we were told?" Really?

Most biased piece of crap to ever call itself a news source.

[doctor220]

Also just found this, mark bells impersonation of DLT.

[thom2355]

Fellas maybe I'm different than most of ya but my kids and their "events" are WAY more important to me than me competing at anything. Hell I used to compete at just about anything and everything I could but when I had kids I said, "**** it, my life as a competitor is pretty much over unless I can sneak this or that in." They matter most.

I am skipping out of a push/pull this weekend to go to my niece's first birthday party....so yeah, I agree.

Missing my half sister's step daughter's graduation party to compete in August though....because there are lines.

[michael_xyz]

His quads aren't that big though.

Yes, they're not small, but it's nothing crazy or worth talking about like Dan Green seems to mention all that time. I think that's always been the point. Decent quads, sure, but nothing amazing.

I probably have bigger legs than him, where's my world record deadlift?


He does have good tear drop development, which DG does mention a lot, about it hanging down quite low. But, yes, still nothing "OMG!".

I just find it interesting that it is becomming mainstream.

As for doctor and dlt: quad pics with a duck face imo.
