The Official Powerlifting and Strongman Family Appreciation Thread: Part XVII

[zmcdole]

I'm about to start meet prep in wraps next week so I was fiddling with wrapping my knees and the black sling shots suck balls. They've been squatted in about 5 total sets and already coming undone. I'll be surprised if these ****s make it to the meet.

I've used my red ones 3 maybe 4 times and they started coming undone after the 1st use.

I heard the red ones were suppose to be a little better but I've also seen where all slingshot stuff comes apart to quick. If the original slingshot I got wears quick I'll be less then happy.

Ray Williams totals 1000 kg, 544.8 Wilks.

does Jesse Norris have the highest raw wilks ?

Damn, very likely.

Also went for the CrossFit Lites. 30% off and then if you buy 4 items it's a further 25% off so quite cheap in the end.

dang son 2200 in just a belt?? NO he aint getting chit out of his SBDs. He's the best raw squatter in the game right now. Can't argue that. FML.

But Ben rice was a posta have a bad workout and he had a good workout cuz he did has belt and sbds. Ray wouldn't even be good for 800 without those sleeve

In the IPF, probably since raw lifting has only been around in IPF since 2012. But I think overall, guys like Eric Lilliebridge out total him.

2204.6 lbs. He has been saying he's had a glute injury for the past year and finally feeling healed. So we'll see if everything just clicked this meet or if the gain train coming and he gonna up his squat and total even further in 2015.

haha. But seriously I just realized how freaking amazing Norris' 2015 really is when I thought about Ray Ray totaling 2200. My mind just can't register that.

[michael_xyz]

Toss up between black leather and the grey ones with some blue. Went with the latter because if they suck then it's a decent looking to shoe to just wear as a normal trainer.

Zack, same here. Just not comprehending how ridiculous that is. I mean, Dan Green at 220 did 2099 which is also higher than 242 total. Norris' lift is like 300+ lbs above 181 total. I thought Dan Green was unbeatable but this kid... lawd.

At Ray's body weight, he'd have to total ~2375 to have the same Wilks. So like 931/575/869. Would be the highest IPF raw squat, bench, deadlift and total.

[kmc06005]

Damn. And David Puckett who posts on these forums hit 837.

It appeared to me that Ray's last 2 squats were higher than all 3 of Jeza's attempts. I think Ray's were to depth, but it doesn't make any sense about Jeza.

He probably could if he started competing in Ohio... nomsayin?

Agreed.

Lol they are garbage wraps

I wanted to order powerbelly wraps but they are sold out

I know I say this everytime wraps are brought up. But I LOVE my titan rpms, I know breathinglife is a fan also

Do you high frequency guys ever deload?

I go about 12-14 days before I have to take a couple of days off to let my lower back recover. That's a big reason why I'm switching to sumo dl's.

If my lower back could recover at the same speed as the rest of my body I don't think I would deload until a few days out from a meet. With autoregulation you get good weeks and bad weeks and your overall volume/intensity will rise and fall naturally. As long as your lifts are within the acceptable minimums everything is OK.

Programming is a squat/press/pull variation every day, to a daily Max + back off sets+ accessories.

You train 12-14 days every day?

[308smk]

60% of the time, every time.

[kmc06005]

60% of the time, every time.

So if you trained like Sumner, and did 4x/week Squat/Press/Pull, would you think deloads are unnecessary with 3 off days per week?

At his level of strength more recovery is needed for the CNS. He may very well need a deload, I haven't lifted his weights so I cannot say for sure what is needed.

Im an upper-end intermediate lifter for my weight class so I can get away with more freq+volume, as the weights are not as taxing for me.

I gotcha. That was just an example, I have no idea if Sumner deloads or whatever, during regular training. I was just curious because I see so many guys advocate, and plan in deloads, and then others that don't seem to ever deload.

I just look at the whole thing in terms of stress. If I have a ton of other **** going on (such as farming in the spring/summer/fall) my training workload reflects that. I think if you're smart with your programming and take into account what you are capable of handling when you consider all variables, planned deloads are unnecessary. Especially for beginner/intermediate lifters who really need time/practice under the bar.

think it depends on how hard you are loading.

Anyone notice that Ben Rice is squatting to depth now?

Is it the knee sleeves?

It makes sense.

He wasn't squatting to depth, so he knew he needed to drop the weight, but didn't want to admit that he wasn't strong enough to hit depth with weights he was using...

Easy solution? Say SBD's give you 30 lbs, and then reset and start hitting depth. All the lemmings think it was the SBD's artificial strength system and the depth trolls have nothing to eat.
