The Official Powerlifting and Strongman Family Appreciation Thread: Part XVIII

[NorthStrong]

Weird thing is, is that the whole day seemed to be spotted and loaded and judged etc perfectly, but then they fuk up the most important lifter's opening deadlift smh.

I hope WRPF has a similar turnout as far as caliber of lifters, and level of competition.

[dang111]

I wonder when DG's next meet will be. I bet he'll be gunning hard to retake his record.

[kmc06005]

Well if it was a 15kg misload then it cost him the All Time total. He has a right to be upset.

[isaku900]

Damn, did they say Bill wasn't locked out? Looked good from the front I thought

yeah I didn't have my shoulders back. I could feel it and would not have been happy with whites.

what a freakin' day. Malan's misload was -7.5kg and he elected to take the as loaded weight vs a retake.

dan had dieted down to 239-240 to make the cut to 220, he had been walking around at like 255-260 for a bit before he dieted down.

I totaled 915kg/2017lbs on 771/529/716.
Lessons for next time: pay attention to the weights people are putting in and time wrapping properly.
better attempt selection on deadlift due to conditions

[Hamzzza]

6:30 am just got home and missed everything and brain isn't working properly so excuse me, but:

did malan's first deadlift not count due to the misload ? did he not set the total wr ?

where can I see dan green's lifts ?

Malan ended up just using the misloaded lift as part of his total. Missed his second attempt and scratched thrid so he didn't take the total. He set a new squat record though.

The stream is still saved on youtube so you can go through it and look for DGs lifts but it's like a 4 hour video lmao. I'm sure the videos will be up on like someones instagram so check that out.

[isaku900]

Malan's deadlift was 7.5kg lighter than he called for, he accepted that weight instead of re-taking it.

he missed his 2nd and third attempts, think he hurt his hammie. I don't remember what he totaled...but 470-265-372.5 (misload vs the 380 called weight) yieleds a 1107.5kg/2441.59lb total.

[TheIronAsylum]

fukcin went to the gym and missed the deadlift battle and im not about to rewatch it now that they stripped the entire meet of audio because youtube is *******s

[TheIronAsylum]

from the looks of it Dan is pretty banged up and i feel like he has a couple injuries going on

What happened on your third attempt squat? It looked like the bar might have been in the wrong position or something when you tried to take it out?

[isaku900]

wrapped too early, platform slowed up right before me, legs went numb and couldn't move my right leg. was disappointing because the bar felt super light on my back, I knew if I had been able to walk out I would've smoked it.

[michael_xyz]

Good lifting Bill.

What did Dan end up pulling?

[isaku900]

Good lifting Bill.

thanks.

I'm working backwards, but I think he went 365-225-352.5 / 942.5

so he pulled 777.

[michael_xyz]

Damn, expected quite a bit higher. Is he injured?

[isaku900]

he missed two attempts in the 800s to try to beat Hamilton.

banged up, not exactly injured.

[CooCooCaChoo]

Yeah he looked great pulling leading up to the meet, just wasn't his day I guess.

Sidenote Bill, you wouldn't happen to know of any decent gyms in the Livermore/Dublin area would you? Might be working in that area soon and would rather train there to avoid traffic heading back home.

[ronalbak]

Hey, i want to ask some advanced, pro PL here. How can you prevent your joints from getting pop when moving? For exp, my knees sometimes pop pop when i ride bicycle.

[Hamzzza]

Lamar Gant's highest-BW-multiplier deadlift record got broken by a no-name lifter yesterday

Your patella may not be tracking properly, causing it to 'pop' into place when you bend or straighten your knee.

Thats the kind of question you ask to a physiotherapist lol.

doing my first wrapped meet in December and this is what I'm worried about... timing the wrap. I'm also solo and don't train with a team so there's only so many wraps I can do before my forearms cramp up. Prepping the wraps before actually putting them on is what makes me cramp

[isaku900]

CSA Gym in Pleasanton. its an MMA/Crossfit gym with a sizeable powerlifting team headed by Jesse Burdick.

get a wrap roller, and some thickish rubber bands. get 3 pairs of wraps too, that way you can roll them up in one go with less forearm strain and then deploy as needed per attempt.

I would've been fine forearm wise but the wrap kept slipping b/c my hands were so sweaty.

well, i went to the doctor, got some xray and he said my joint was fine. But i might lack the "mucus" to lubricate my joints.
That happen sometimes, not so often. Do you guys use any supps or eat any kind of food to solve it?

The joint probably is fine. Do exercises to activate and strengthen your vastus medialis and gluteus medius (google it). A huge majority of lifters/athletes have the same problem - its best taken care of before it develops into something else. Do lots of ankle mobility/calf stretching on top of that.

does $130 seem about right for a roller?

I had something similar once with my knee, did a lot of Terminal knee extensions on a rotary hip machine and with bands and some general tracking exercises aswell really helped. for me it was because of bad outward rotated legs so hip stuff helped too.

[NaturalFTW]

I thought Dan would end up coming back from the 20kg deficit and win since he pulls a lot more. Plus he pulled like 881 in training like 2 weeks ago didn't he?

Oh well there's always next meet

[ronalbak]

can try cissus.

will google to see if i can find that here.

Thks. definitely will do it. My groin has the same problem but even worse. Switching from highbar to lowbar and stretching after squat does help me a lot.


And about the equipment. Should i buy the harbinger belt or inzer belt. Harbinger is cheaper and available but some guys said inzer is way better.
