Paul carter said he was good for 8. So 8 is what goes in the record book right?

This is going to be a pretty gay post, but any of you brahs ever have trouble getting your parents to accept that you're not a distance runner or basketball player or some chit? Any pro tips? Ever since I started lifting about 5-6 years ago, they've been incredibly resistant. It's gotten a lot better over the last year or so, but they still won't accept that powerlifting is my jam. Idc about their approval, it'd just be nice if I didn't get criticized and put down for my goals on the reg every time I talked to them.

My brother's been getting into lifting (age 18) and they're doing the same thing with him. We were planning on competing at the same meet together, but they put their foot down and said he couldn't because he "doesn't know proper form yet", which is a bull **** reason because none of them actually come to the gym and watch him lift. I'm probably going to pay for his registration and gear anyway just so he can, but it's just a ****ty situation all around, I think.

Ftr in college my dad was a hall of fame basketball player, and mom was captain of the swim team. It's like they're doing that douche bag thing where parents try to live vicariously through their children.

Until you get 18, all you can do is reason with them.

Once you hit 18, move the hell out and do whatever you want.

Did you see that Radz almost hit the same. Hit 215 kg like nothing.

He has one of the most beautiful squat forms of anyone IMO. Das it mane.

But WTF at the disco party lights goin on lmao. Damn near gave me a seizure.

[thom2355]

This showed up on my DVR. Truck pull in the snow, front hold in freezing ass weather and loading 70kg ice blocks....and we b*tch about uneven parking lots.

On the other hand....there are some dumb events....sleigh push? really?

[arian11]

I remember commenting on a recent DL vid of yours on IG about how similar our rep schemes were on a given session. Looking through your other videos a lot of it looks pretty similar weight/rep scheme wise recently. Although I've never done 485x8 or anything above 6 for that matter lol... I bet once you finish your training cycle
You'll pull more than me.

That was just 1 max reps session. Most sessions are lower reps. Today I did 5x3 @ 485. Last week I did 2x2 @ 510 and block pulls 3x3 @ 510. In the coming weeks I have a 9.5 RPE double so we'll see how that goes.

90 lb total PR today along with PRs on each lift.

Someone school me on fixing my DL lockout, please.

Congrats brochaco! Vids? Issue with shoulders locking back? Pin pulls or Romanian DL help me but I'm weak off the floor so my opinion may be worthless.

Start the lift in a better position. More glutes never hurt anybody

This is pretty much it for most cases.

lol looking through my training journal I've pretty much done exactly all those weight/rep schemes in the last month (although I was also doing about 3 DL variations per session since I was running a DL-specialty program and I'm still not squatting).

For my 9.5 PR doubles I did 525 x 2 x 2

Pls pull 585 so the Arian Nation can triumph once again.

Well I'm leaving for Finland on Tuesday for IPF Raw Worlds and will be there for 2 weeks. And I'm currently 6 weeks out from my next week. So I'm really hoping I can get quality training in while at Worlds and not ruin my momentum.

Don't worry, you got this:

[JohnnyRingo350]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to adamsz again.

Thanks man! Im fine off the floor, my lockout is just slow. I think block pulls will be my best option. Going to start doing those and deficits more this training cycle.

Thanks 308, will start working on dem glutez

[Hamzzza]

did you really just pull an "I'm too fast for my body"?


Awesome.

But yeah, powerlifting is typically reserved for people who are too unathletic for real sports that pay money. The short, the stubby and those that are both fat AND slow.

That being said, you have to do what makes you happy, that's what makes life fun.

tfw too tall to have manlet strength and too short to be gorilla mode strongman or football/basketball player

[Hamzzza]

holy **** Matjaz Belsak actually competed together with thor to win WSM

mind=blown I was at the same meet as him once

[SPFjudge]

Up early as fukk to watch the Super Cup.

After Squat:
Malan 480 kg
Gadiev 460 kg
Yarymbash 450 kg

Yarymbash doesn't look himself today. Just look off on his squats. Missed his third on depth. This may be Malan's opportunity to take it, he's just gotta sorta hang with Yarym's bench which is HUGE. Both have great pulls so it will be interesting. Henry Tomason looked awful on his third of 947. I missed his second and first so I'm not sure what he squatted. Misha Koklyaev.......Last place.

He's leaving out the part about leaving roughly 50 lbs out there too. No joke.

Great meet man.

Fuaaarrrkkk just woke up missed all the squats and benches. Thanks for the updates though how did benches go?
Also it's interesting that the Russians' live streams are always so much better than those in the US (RUM, USAPL) and Australia (GPA).
