The Official Powerlifting and Strongman Family Appreciation Thread: Part XX

[UberAlles]

anyone got a link to like an simple deadlift program suitable for a low 600s conventional puller? don't really have access to bands or chains or anything like that, pretty much just straight bars and blocks/deficits

[Torrtrefireto]

I wish he'd do a real equipped meet. Would steamroll everyone in the 120s. Probably squat a grand and bench near 8. Only competition I could see is if Semenenko moves up like he's said.

Bychkov?

[NorthStrong]

Trying to make some body tempering devices tonight, wish me luck fam

Lol yeah.

[dang111]

Bychkov?

Maybe. Bychkov definitely has more in the tank but his best total is what, 1127.5kg, and Dennis has a nearly 1000kg raw total? I want to say he's done 986kg @ 120. It would be a fun battle.

What's everyone's favorite shoulder rehab exercises? Shoulders have been the one thing that's never given me problems but one is aggravated from bench.

[Jason2459]

Rear delt high reps, standing band snatches high reps, saunas, deep tissue massage down the arm including forearm, heavy use of liniments, traction with bands.

140kg in carryover isn't easy for everyone to get, especially if their raw total is a real total and not a gear lifters lolgym raw total [what I mean here is I get 170kg but my raw maxes are probably all well below my potential because I don't train them very hard, so maybe if I was as dedicated of a raw lifter as an actual raw lifter I'd only get 120 since my raw lifts would be higher but my gear lifts same... does that make sense?]. I'd say yeah he'd probably already be a contender and likely would be winning open nationals within a year but you never know. Some people can never get the stuff to work right

Lower trap work is huge imo.

Either face down with dumbbells, on an incline bench, doing the retractions, retract+rows, I, Y, T, those are good. Lately I have been doing the following with a micro mini band.

3d Pullaparts, regular pullaparts, ohp, overhead raises (essentially a standing I and Y). Those help a ton, I really swear by the lower trap stuff though, namely the I exercise. Helps a lot.

This makes sense to me. I never thought about it like that. But my wrapped squat is 45kg higher than my raw squat. Not because I get 45kg out of wraps, but because I don't ever test my raw squat.

[NorthStrong]

this is just stupid

He has a real chance at kirills record. I didn't think it would ever be possible. All of his presses are legit and clean as well.



Anybody heard the rumors about Thor doing bigdogs3?

Rumors only I'm guessing, based on his recent instagram answer about PL.

Rumor has it, an anonymous fan of PL and Strongman will put up an additional $25k if Thor wins Big Dogs 3. Apparently the guy wants to remain anonymous. Seems pretty sketchy to me.

Also, you guys remember a few years ago when I was posting in here about the super strong guy at my gym? Biby. He's moved back to Burkina Faso (Africa) but is just getting stupidly strong. He's some pressing he uploaded today. One of the biggest sets of presses ever I'm sure. Then some piss easy (bouncy) benches @ 485.

Thank you, that's what I meant by my mention of his IG

Anyone do much close grip incline work on the regular? Really like that lift.

[HARRYBEAST]

I actually have had these in the mix lately and I like them too

[arian11]

I use max grip now on my competition bench work, but pretty much a closer grip on everything else. Can't really arch on incline, so I feel like max grip would be a little rough on the shoulders. The closer grip feels good and a bigger ROM. I don't use a super narrow grip though, like some people go right where the smooth part starts.

[NorthStrong]

I find incline I can tolerate a bit of a closer grip than I can for flat CGBP. Flat I don;t like going any closer than 1 finger from the edge of the smooth/knurling (about 1 fist in from comp grip). But incline doesn't bother me at all a bit closer. Hits the triceps harder than flat too, maybe just due to longer rom, but i think the force curve is a bit different too, and for me there's a really strong sticking point quite a way up.

[bigwade800]

We had guys that responded to these when decline would bother the shoulders, which would seem counter-intuitive but, we've had good results with them and program them regularly.

[Jason2459]

Shoulder won't let me do anything but close to closer grips incline or overhead.

[NorthStrong]

Interesting. Was doing them (low incline, as that's all i can rig up in the garage) and threw on some fat gripz today, felt good.

[JohnnyRingo350]

Right there with you. I'm 1" from the smooth on everything but comp bench.


I've said it before and I'll say it again. I like Ben pollack, but holy **** wtf at his deadlift lockout?!

[Torrtrefireto]

My shoulder won't let me do any sort of incline or overhead work, but if it did it would definitely have to be max wide grip to limit ROM

What kind of pain/irritation do you get? The last time I tried DB shoulder press, I was getting this weird pain in my left shoulder at the top near lock out. I don't get it with incline, flat, or decline though. So I just haven't done any DB shoulder press in a couple months. Haven't tried it with a BB to see if it's the same pain.

For me, its a little bit of a pop feeling followed by a feeling of my humerus not being quite in the socket right
