The Official Powerlifting and Strongman Family Appreciation Thread: Part XIX

[dang111]

Anyone watching open nats? Just saw a guy lifting raw (lol) stand up with his squat, 385 or so, then dump it off his back.

Noob here, stalking this thread for cool vids and useful info.

And this post happened to raise a question. As someone whose never been to a meet, but watched a lot of Powerlifters online particularly Ed Coan, Mark bell, and the whole Supertraining crew.
This^^ seems really out of place, particularly compared to how Ed Coan talks about meets for example.

So I was curious was this really random and rare for you with your experience, or is this sort of thing becoming more common in Powerlifting now than it used too be.
(or maybe it always was and I just dont realize lol)

bit random a question, but was curious.

First time I've ever seen it. Meet director said it was the first time ever having to kick someone out like that.

Thoughts on wide stance vs regular stance super cent?

FWIW I bought my suit from Titan in person and they told me unless you're super wide to get the normal stance.

Ya saw the raw lifter dump. Does that weird lockout too hard stops pulling bar into them. Bar pops up and comes unstable.

Bought a used 44 WS for 80 quid, would've had to pay out the ass for a new one if I wanted RS, too risky considering I might hate the thing lol

quick question for those of you guys that get massages. Planning on getting one (deep tissue) for the first time on Wednesday (off day). I usually have my heavy dead lift sessions on Thursday right after my day off from gym. I've heard of people saying you shouldn't lift heavy for a couple days right after a massage - any truth it to it, or shouldn't be a big deal?

i'm usually sore for a couple days after a targeted deep tissue massage, so I'll avoid lifting what was worked on. I usually schedule my massages around my training schedule depending on what needs to be addressed.

i.e. squat on sunday, get massage focused on legs on monday which won't affect my benching tuesday that much. wednesday's an off day, so i should be good to go for squats on thursday.

Makes sense - I think I'll just go today after I bench to give myself a couple days off. Thank you

For those who have trained conjugate how often do you recycle your max effort movements?

With all your injuries great job man!!

For those who have trained conjugate how often do you recycle your max effort movements?

anywhere from 6-8 weeks to 6 months depending on the variation and how applicable it was to my current situation.

note: I did 5 years of conjugate style training. It worked well for lifting in gear, but I would never want to do it again and feel that it held back my lifting progress significantly.

With all your injuries great job man!!

thanks

Before I forget SPF thanks for offering to look into gear but I went ahead and pulled the trigger and my gear is on the way.

First equipped meet Sept 23

That the USAPL one? I might have a friend doing it. I keep meaning to drive down there for one of the meets.

Yup! Rodney Elm is running it. Apeman Strong. Had a good time at the last one Rodney did.

Got 16 weeks to learn shirt and suit and wraps. I workout at home alone so just gonna use the safety pins as "boards" and boxes for a bit.

Eh, you can try it but I'd either get a bench blok or tie a knee wrap around you and stick a board in between your chest and the wrap.

Haha! My man!

Didn't even think of using the wrap to tie around. I wouldn't want my kid standing around holding a board trying to learn it but she can easily help with that!

Heat will help keep me loose. Rather not have to wear sweats personally.

What didn't you like about it?

[WCbouche]

Any of the fam done Prolotherapy? I am not a fan of having to get a steroid shot in my knee every 4 or 5 weeks.... It seems that Prolotherapy may be a better option?

I agree with Judge. Using safety pins as boards will not be ideal in a shirt. There are other ways to hack a board press
