The Official Powerlifting and Strongman Family Appreciation Thread: Part XX

[SA249]

Honestly, that is part of what I see wrong with online coaching.... the fact that *some* people are copying and pasting templates and sending them out to lifters.

Now, I do understand if a someone has a coach, and the programs they write are structurally similar to that of their coach because that is the system they have worked with and know, but to outwrite copy it, that is rather lame.

Time will weed out the ones doing it wrong, and hopefully those doing it right will collect some of that buisness.

A lifter who came to me recently was saying that their old coach was giving all the lifters the same program. And then the coach was going to put them on Smolov. They weren't about to pay for Smolov, so they switched to me.

Wait......

The coach tried to pass a smolov off to a group of powerlifters??

I have seen this stuff first hand as well. Lifters being "coaches" that have no idea how to program or even formulate a thought about training. So they take the program their coach sent them and change a couple of things and give it to people. Literally saw a program that's progression and volume was based on someone gaining weight and on aggressive amounts of protein given to a natural that was maintaining/losing weight. The progression and volume was to aggressive for someone gaining 2 pounds a week and having all the jay cutler time a body could handle.

There was a coach around here that sold his "modified" 5/3/1 program and entered clients info into MFP and then sent them the screenshots for what cals and macros to eat

I found the ******* dude that was on stage with Larry Wheels.

LOL strong detective

[JohnnyRingo350]

Larry wheels just announced he's bulking to 290 and wants to take the 308 sleeves record from lilliebridge. He gone out bench Eric by 100 pounds

Yeah, saw that. I asked why he won't use wraps and try to win the money at the US Open. He said the records are more important than the money right now. I don't think he had a chance to win last year, but I also didn't think Joe was going to make the podium. I think he has a pretty good shot at whatever he sets his goals at this year. He hasn't slowed down. Larry and Joe, both are just going nuts. Joe at 198 will be scary.

That squat gap tho.

Whats Erics record 308 wrapless, 2353 iirc?

[JohnnyRingo350]

Yeah something like that. Larry will lift at the us open though, and Eric only lifts at those UPA meets. He's lifted at other meets but never delivers like he does at those backwoods meets. Maybe he can deliver at big dogs 3. I hope burley hawk does big dogs 3 I really like that som beech.

Everyone talking about zahir in Eric comments. He just posted about Larry going for the record comparing the numbers Larry hit at 275.

[JohnnyRingo350]

Side note I've seen a lot about Eric lately on social media and YouTube (nick strength and power vid) and everyone is wrong. People give credit to Eric for a lot of **** that isn't true. Saying he has the highest wrappless total, he has the highest all time squat, etc.

And side side note Steve Johnson looking neat in the 308s too

Burley should compete but doesnt wanna compete til he feels like he can hit a WR or something dumb

Burley is one of the top guys I'm a fan of, I wish I knew which lifts were current though. He does so many flash backs. Still a healthy hawk probably has 630-650 bench, and 900+ dead.

Drives me nuts that he doesn't compete. Guy is a monster.

900+ with straps for sure, not sure the heaviest no straps i've seen him pull. He's got some ridiculous strength though, and very well rounded.

Yup, really would like to see him at Big Dogs, regardless of WR or not.

He's 6'3" ish and damn near all them big boys pull straps always and never have grip issues. Hopefully he is one as well. Luigi is another guy that literally does not pull without straps in training and never had a grip problem, blows my mind.

Lol as per Dang111 request i wore a suit to deadlift today......... and it was crap.

Dont know how people can position themselves. Also because my thighs are larger from the restricted blood flow, my grip was crap too.

You got any vids in the suit? Are you losing air and tightness getting into position or is it your knees wanting to come in?

Can be hard to pull yourself into position. But since you're weakest right off the floor it should give you a lot once you figure it out.

You try it straps down? Can help to pull the legs up and do straps down to start with

[NorthStrong]

Sully taking the "if the bar aint bending..." statement pretty literally today..

[JohnnyRingo350]

Sully taking the "if the bar and bending..." statement pretty literally today..

Glad he's ok. That could've been dirty.

[Daemonium]

Saw that. Good thing he's alright other than a bit of knee pain.



..Wait where am I?

[Jason2459]

Stay in your happy place

Sullivan is king of manlets.

o hey

[NorthStrong]

So if you were to allow him straps, and add up his best lifts Hafthor's at like a 2500 something total with gym lifts. He's been getting so strong this year it's bananas.

If he never wins WSM I'm gonna freak out.
