The Official Powerlifting and Strongman Family Appreciation Thread: Part XVIII

[Dmetti]

basically powdered tobacco (with mentol)


from my experience it's much better for powerlifting than ammonia because it actually gets you focused and not deorientized (english?) like ammonia



hue hue

I've never heard of it. You sniff this stuff? Does it make you mad like tork? I'll try anything and that stuff looks badass

[isaku900]

But could you unrack that?

this is why, when I did multiply I made sure to do a heavy unrack at like 1100lbs. therefore I can judge almost any lift on video.

I swear I'm gonna unrack a grand one day just for this purpose. but then again some of the best judges in the world haven't lifted a weight in years......

shhh.

you aren't allowed to be a critic of a lift you see in a video. Unless you're a lifter, and a judge...wait. Unless you're a world record holding lifter, and a judge. there. NAILED IT.

I love instagram. I just gave one of Eric's clients some advice about not trying to intentionally make the bar hop off your back. He literally dumped it when it came back down because it didn't land right and it fell off his back. Someone else commented that they thought it might be compressing his spine. He said "it's just 315, my spine will be fine." Lol, I tried to tell him he'd be regretting that stupid stuff when he's older. He deleted my comment. Eric tell your boy Chance Mitchell to stop acting like Lilliebridge before he hurts himself.

brah you have to look tough on social media so all negative comments are deleted. It's not constructive criticism it's being a hater

lol

just found him on the ********s.

he is that kid that was arguing with CWS about peaking for a meet and chit a while ago, that was maybe one of the all time dumbest posts ive seen lol. He's pretty damn strong for his age and weight though.

Yes I remember I came home from a night out drinking and was browsing IG and saw that chit and was like WTF either I'm 10x drunker than I thought or some kid is going full potato on CWS.

shhh.

also you have to have yelled EASY after the world record lift.

Huge PR for me today. I've been dreaming of a 405 bench ever since I started lifting 12 years ago. Per my Sheiko program, I was only supposed to work up to 95-100% ... but 100% was so easy (385) I decided to try 405 and got it. Granted, I was wearing elbow protection and the pause wasnt perfect - but I dont care.

Das it mane! Nice work. I too have a long time goal of a 4 plate bench.

One thing I noticed on the new sheiko app is it actually calls for you to go to 105% on both the testing days on the comp cycle.

What's your BW at right now? Edit: just saw on YT 251lbs... nice, we're basically the same.

Thanks man. I havent downloaded the sheiko app yet - im still using the CMS/MS on the excel program that a member here made many years ago. But that is interesting, I wonder why the programming has you at 105% on both days???

I purposely hadnt weighed myself in 8 weeks 'cause I knew I had been eating a lot.... but I weighed myself after the lift and i'm up to 251! I normally hover around 244 and compete at 242

nice man, I'll try to hit 4 plates in the next 10 days too


tfw had 3 back to back smolov bench days with push presses to failure and heavy triceps accessory work, I think I can't possibly overdo it when I'm not squatting/deadlifting heavy

If that wasn't one of your guys I would troll. I like him but he seems to be getting cockier by the week.

I'm giving him (yet another) stern talking to. You know how I roll, my team adheres to a particular code of ethics and I get very upset when someone doesn't tow the line.

[Dmetti]

Definitely badass I'm gonna order some. I just realized we had a discussion on your insta about back pain small world lol the McGill excercises you recommended are doing wonders for me

[Turtora]

scratching my head at why Joseph Pena's 771 was redlighted. looked beautiful to me, but idk.

someone said "If you look it closely at 0:21 it seems like he "already started squatting" (even the spotters started to move) and "he was not stiff". I think that was the reason."

is that actually a thing?

well if he started moving before the squat command, yeah that's a thing... I didn't watch it with sound on, nor is sound usually synced properly on a stream.

he didn't even respond to my comment he just deleted it. I thought I was being nice and definitely felt like the advice, even though unsolicited, might be something he'd listen to. I've only been lifting weights for almost as long as he's been alive.

EDIT: btw, I wouldn't have brought this up on here if I didn't think that you hadn't already mentioned it to him before or if I didn't think you'd say something to him if you saw the vid. My bad if it offended you.

I don't think he beat the command. He didn't squat until after the command assuming the head judge gave the command as he made the motion with his hand.

then its *shrug emoticon* Oi Pee Eff

then its *shrug emoticon* Oi Pee Eff

ipf judges do not seem to understand the justice system which pretty much operates as its better to let a criminal free than it is to put an innocent person in jail but then flip that to white lights they are putting all these innocent squatters in the jail of reds and bombing. if its a borderline call it should go to the lifter but it seems to be like half and half with the IPF.

doing my first IPF affiliate meet soon, srs worried about skwat depth.

Ok, cool. Gotcha.

Another question:

Does anyone know if the Lilliebridges are competing at WUAP National Championship in Peoria IL on June 20th? Random bro at my gym said that they were, along with George Leeman. Which doesn't really make sense to me, because I haven't seen them post anything about it, and Leeman rarely competes (seems like he's been playing around with gear lately, too).

Just curious, because that's going to be my first meet. Would be cool to get pic with Eric, I think.

Might just be chitty word of mouth or gym bro spreading rumors for chits.

[Hamzzza]

TFW my ******** is busier right after a questionable IPF depth call than during very important political issues in my country



I think I need to clean up my friend list, there aren't enough girls on my homepage

I very much enjoy the irony that a lot of the people saying "OMG THAT WAS CLEARLY DEEP ENOUGH" today

were saying yesterday "You can't judge squat depth from a video" in regards to Amit's squat.

didn't even notice this

hilarious.

[PanzeR-]

**** this ****. Trained with some bodybuilders friend of mine and we combined both our trainings... yesterday was my heavy deadlift day. After a ****ton of volume on deads, we did a superset of snatch grip deficit deadlift in oly shoes, walking bb lunges and back squats.... all to failure. My glutes are screaming in agony today. Never again.

Snatch grip deficit pulls just seems like an awful idea in general..maybe its just me.
