The Official Powerlifting and Strongman Family Appreciation Thread: Part XVIII

[isaku900]

Boris Sheiko chimed in and just added that lifters should squat deeper in training, not higher, since many have the impulse in competition to cut it a little higher. Furthermore, he said, those who squat high in training always think they will take it deeper in the meet, but they rarely do.

good to know Boris and I are on the same page...been saying that for years too.

Shut up Boris Sheiko with your knowledge and insight

hehe

Nice squats Bill, you made 749 look easy!

thanks, felt pretty damn good.

Goolge Anna Karilla or Karila or like that, it's Zahirs wife.

And Shieet, Zahirs wife was once not chubby.

[SPFjudge]

too small for my ****ty old crain briefs. just need to buckle down and get a super cent. or can i get away with the normal cent.??

Should i buy it in mind that i will be close to 260 when i actually get into a meet prep??

I may have something that'll fit.

I have the weirdest boner/10

I thought this was an excellent video in case any of you missed it.

[martin_mathers]

^Great video. I need to listen to that Podcast again.

The one with Jake/bigboy made me cringe so hard. Couldn't make it halfway through.

[arn710]

The two he has with Stan Efferding are great. I have listened to both a couple times

Wenning is like the only raw guy left that's still advocating using assistance lifts/variations to build the main lifts.

The longer I lift the more I realize the people at the top are going to be the same regardless of how they train

What?

Yes. Training methods aside, they train smart and put more emphasis on longevity and health.

You sure about that?

One of the few. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[CooCooCaChoo]

Agreed, Arn. The Efferding podcasts are by far my favorites.

And I don't know of a raw guy that doesn't advocate using variations or assistance. CWS only uses variations so far out from a meet, Dan Green does dumbbell stuff on occasion, etc.

[NorthStrong]

I think that almost all the recent PowerCasts have been awesome. Stan, Wenning, CWS, Coan, Spoto, etc. I liked the Chris Bell and the Bill Phillips ones too. Not so crazy about the Bart Kwan / Krissy Mae ones though.

Kwan one was annoying. Janae Kroc is coming on one soon.

I meant the Conjugate way. Variations that are further away from the 3 lifts than what CWS uses. To CWS a comp squat for a double is a variation which is kinda true.

Wenning is awesome. Been more or less using his training method since I went to his seminar back in May. He really advocates not using the same exact same exercise more than once in a month (even on assistance lifts), which is quite challenging for programming.

Huh, she was quite the fitness cutie before getting on the same supplement plan as Zahir.

Has Bart even competed before? He's got some crazy strong guys at BB, him not so much.

That sounds like a cool experience. I wouldn't mind getting out to Columbus and doing an assessment with him

[NorthStrong]

I really liked that video of wenning, and the podcast, watched both of them a couple times. Sounds like an awesome seminar DD, nice writeup.

I don't think I could ever train like that personally.

I would get it to fit you right now if you're within 20 pounds of 260, as it will stretch out quite a bit.

Get it tight in the hips and legs and loose in the straps, and increase strap tightness over time. If your hips and legs are loose the suit won't work right and it will just ****in hurt.

[grandmoloch]

Does anyone else feel like their upper back tightness/pain is from squatting? I squat the day before benching and have a pinch and pain at a spot where my rhomboids are, which I can feel radiate through my triceps and elbow. It definitely feels a lot worse after squatting... I think there was a Duffin video on something similar. I use a lacrosse ball on my back, but I'm not really sure if it's helping or hurting.

Any tips for warming up the shoulder blade area?

Good video and for the first 3 minutes I added that warmup

What made it even better is that he came out here to do it. Would say it is worth traveling for though.

Thanks chief. It is definitely a different style of training than what I was used to but, I figure if it works for Matt, it might just work for me. Hard to say how much progress I've made thus far though since I rarely do the actual competition lifts now.


Gotta call EFS. Got a pair of short light bands that are totally different tensions. Almost died when I went to unrack the bar with them on during bench today.

edit: EFS sending out a new pair with a return shipping label too. Excellent customer service.

[loveCharlie09]

What's the deal about him? I just saw some vids and everything i understand was that he is a chinese attention rice.

[McCabesLifts]

sorry for all the video post lol but here is part three

[breathinglife]

Crazy Russian PLers on vkontakte came up with this. Gelatin, plus BSN supps, plus ice trays = dessert.

[dang111]

^^ I at first thought it was some sort of Reese's cup supplement and got really excited.

Praise be to Walmart for just now having 12 reese's cups for $1.

[whitessp]

Doc said one of the reasons my knees hurt is my kneecap is twisted. Said I need to have a lateral release surgery done.


Any input from the fam on this surgery? I don't like this doc so I'm gonna get a second opinion before I do it.

Why exactly is it twisted?
