The Official Powerlifting and Strongman Family Appreciation Thread: Part XX

I stick to the basics.

Food gives me energy.

Energy helps me lift weights.

Meat + veggies >> sweets

Need to lose weight then do cardio or trim food back a little.

That could be fun!!



What’s the learning curve between the super Katana and the LCC?

Some people think its a whole different beast and hard to learn. I found it to be pretty much the same just less jacking down requried

I used Torrtre's for one meet with like one training session. Felt exactly the same to me and I really liked it.

Good to know! Next purchase set then!

[dang111]

Then get top 4 and get the invite to Arnolds for the "Battle of the Regions" in 2019

They have equipped in that? Just assumed it was another raw circus.

I switched from the SK to the LCC at the start of the year. It's really similar, maybe with a slightly lower touch point. Had no problems switching over. I really like the LCC. It feels way more adjustable.

Seems reasonable.

I still follow the basics of CBL. It just fits my lifestyle I guess. And I find very easy follow and manipulate my weight.

I tried CBL like 5 years ago or so. Put on like 15lbs or so (probably 60% fat) and got strong af, but this was when I first started learning how to train for strength and started squatting to depth (lol). Was only 19 at the time too.

I'm using an RP template pretty loosely right now because my weight has levelled out (was pretty strict with it before), but I generally just keep my higher carb meals around my lifts and vice versa, like a pyramid throughout the day.

On the power project today Mark let it slip that Stan has already sold 2000 copies of the ebook. Ho lee phuck. I got ahold of a copy and looks like something I would have throw together in college. it's presentable for sure, but not professional. Pretty insane to make 200k off that, I think Stan might be a genius lmao. Keep overhead to basically nothing, no editors, no graphic designers, nothing. I like him a lot but it's pretty funny considering the majority of it he's said on podcasts completely for free. Basically pay $100 for for it all organized in one place with references.

Gunna tip toe through the tulips on this one. IT seems to be focused heavily around digestion and ease on the stomach. Most all of the people that are on the vertical diet have left humanity far behind, and depending on how, it can cause horrible sleep and basically permanent heart burn. This coupled with the frequent blood work he prescribes screams it's a diet for people setting the cruise at 100. Ya mean?

so... not good for a natty like me then?

Looks like a FODMAP diet.

https://www.dietvsdisease.org/low-fodmaps-food-list/

he actually spoke about the FODMAP on the podcast he just did with Mark earlier this week.

Jesse Burdick started the horizontal diet. I've been following that recently. Seems legit.

Always LOLd when Jesse would tag those pics in his stories. Came off like he was making fun of Stan's diet in general or just havin a giggle.

lol

thehorizontaldiet: Mustards micronutrient profile is the same as 17 heads of broc****

Edit: WTF? brocc.oli is censored on this forum?

it's because of a forum called the c o l i or some chit which is like a black people misc from what I understand. People were referencing it all the time for awhile and it was causing a bunch of racist chit or something on the misc so I guess they decided to censor it.

To me it's just a fad. Just how Carb Back Loading was the big splash in powerlifting years ago and that sh!t died off fast. I find it funny all these postings Stan has on his Vertical Diet IG account with people claiming all of a sudden their packing on muscle and their gym performance is magically through the rough.

DUDE when I got into PLing in 2012 CBL/Carb Nite was all the fuking rage. When I first went to EPC everyone and their mom there was doing it. I came from a IIFYM background and thought they were all complete morons. It was funny explaining macros to some of the people there.

[Jason2459]

I guess one thing I have changed about my eating habits is I focus on eating mainly foods with supposedly some kind of anti-inflammatory or antioxidant properties. Most of my diet is like that now. Getting to old. Arthritis is a bitch.

Edit: fukn broc**** is censored but bitch isn't. Awesome

[JRMoore82]

I got hooked on Aussie bites for flax seed and fiber cause I’m getting old.

Damn you YouTube. Thursday prime time collegiate nationals is blocked due to copy rights.

I'm sure it'll work for anyone p, that's just something I noticed. It doesn't surprise me Stan has made insane money off the book. Do you know his business background? The guy is SMART. That being said I wouldn't turn my head if you sent me a copy, purely for research purposes you know- Harry Potter guy.

I remember talking to a couple people there as well and that definitely was the in thing for powerlifters.

That's insane that he made 6 figures off of something that people can piece together for free through his videos. Sheeps are going to sheep I guess.

How have you guys switched to hook grip? I decided to stay with over under but broke my hand a few months ago and the pinky and ring finger let go with anything 475 and up. I've taken months trying to rehab it, and previously my grip wipes my biggest strength, but I can't hold on to within 150 pound of projected max. So **** it I'll try hook.

By how I mean how did you adjust your program and exercises etc.
and I have small hands so it'll take practice

I'm a pussy so I barely ever use it. Tried it for a bit at one point. I know Bryce Krawczyk has recommended trying to pull your first rep of each set hook, then switch to whatever, for trying to get comfortable with it.

i never used mixed grip and so i went from double over to hook grip pretty quickly. use lots of chalk and watch some vids on hook grip. it took a few months for it to feel natural and now it feels weird not to use it.

That's what I was thinking. Pulling my first rep or 2 hook then strapping up. Problem is I can probably on hook 430ish and damn near all my volume is above that. I was thinking rackpull holds type a thing as well.

I never use chalk since in commercial gym life but I'll get some for hook experiments. My double over hand and hook grip are probably within 20 pounds of each other.

[NorthStrong]

I started hook a while ago, started with fairly light stuff and have no problems with it at all. Was doing singles only with it, and eventually started doing triples with it, no problem. All fairly light still, but that is just a product of how weak I am on the rebuild lol.

In short don't be a pussy, learn how to do hook correctly from Bruce Crabcheck's video, and start a bit lighter, maybe just to your second to last, then last warmujps etc, then hit regular volume, blah blah.

I'd also say don't "fatigue" your hook/skin, just work up and get a bit of work and practice in, but I would for sure not recommend trying to push the amount of volume that you can do with a hook grip.

[Jason2459]

Holy chit this is like the third time we've talked about switching to hook grip in like the past ten pages.

Cliffs
1. Commit
2. Do for lower volume triples or less.
3. Some do only singles
4. Straps for volume and I like versa grips
5. Light chalk would be enough.
6. Tape and I found stretchy athletic tape > standard stiff athletic tape
7. Bar diameter should be 29mm or less. Any bigger makes hook much more difficult.
8. Commit

I strap up over triples. Double over hand when I can. Hook everything else. Use a 29mm bar. Haven't looked back.

Gotta keep the thread going off something other than this equipped ****.
Thanks fellas, reps to who I can. I've been repping random people so I can actually rep y'all again.

I plan on doing an equipped meet in the future when I have the time to be around people that will learn me the ways.
Hopefully some of these Georgia punks will help.
Does anyone ever multiply anymore? Other than the steaming pile of awesome known as hoff.

I see a few people on instagram lifting multi

Nowhere near the numbers of single

[martin_mathers]

Excited to see what the WPO brings. I don't follow multiply much but Brian Carroll seems to be killing it lately with his unbelievably speedy 1000lb+ squats.
