4 platforms, 9 total sessions

That sounds perfect. Should be some awesome lifting there this week/weekend.

How much of a difference do 2.5m wraps make compared to 2m? Thinking of getting my first pair soon and there seem to be more options for 2m ones

Makes more of a difference when you're bigger.

I'm like 200lbs with fairly undeveloped lower quads (especially compared to the upper), 2m should do me I think lol.

Sadly it's a pain in the arse/expensive to get Inzer/APT gear here so I'm pretty much limited to Metal and Titan (can get the Titans in 2, 2.5 and 3m, only 2m in metal).

Any recommendations?

Try here mate. They always arrive within 2 days to the UK in my experience.

I just want to see norris put on knee wraps and go head to head with a well-peaked injury-free Zahir for a better wilks, monolift/DL bars etc., just put up huge totals

[jshaw5]

surgery time got pushed back to 11am, gotta be at the hospital at 9:30am.

12 hours to go...

Good luck with the surgery man.

Just submitted my openers for next weekend. I need all the stars to align, but I'm going to try to get 1500 at 220.

Good luck.

Congrats on the baby. You're right about how it changes you and it's awesome. I have a 4 year old son, and in ~5 months I'll have another son and a daughter

Metal silvers are nice wraps but will look dingy quickly due to being white.

Titan Sig golds are popular, as are the THPs.

I like the sigs quite a bit. Really strong pop from the bottom, I can only compare it to the RPMs which is a lot weaker of a wrap.

I recently bought the RPMs. Didn't really feel like killing myself every time I wanted to wrap, hah.

[EthanHun]

Any of you do any yoga to help your flexibility for powerlifting? If so what videos on youtube are good?

[grandmoloch]

[Hamzzza]

did he just like his own status where he also tagged like 15 more people?


how low can you go lol

[LongtimeLurkr]

At least Amit competes where he should, and doesn't engage in masquerades.

Yea I don't understand that.

[arn710]

Funny considering the great Norris's squats are just as questionable and anyone else's

[SPFjudge]

Anything cool happen at raw nationals yet?

Edit: late to the party apparently lulz

[Hamzzza]

does sapir even do full meets?

so even if he beats him by 20 lbs on the squat and gets outtotaled like 200lbs, he'd still think he ''won'' ?


edit: fuking lol his dog's name is HALO? isthisreallife, brb stealing that

[CooCooCaChoo]

I've never heard of Norris' depth being questioned until recently, or at least nothing in the last few fam threads. Also, not sure if Sapir understands what Norris means by day of weigh ins.

[WCbouche]

The screenshots of FB drama are greatly appreciated! Already on Spreadz

400 people benched between 120kg and 175kg.

I don't actually know this but I assume it to be correct.

Lel at Norris/Sapir drama. Not even in the same class of lifter.

1147 lifters, probably safe to say about 1000 benched less than 185kg
Edit: not like I could bench that much, lol.
