You need to get a comically large book with a pipe, glasses and a smoking jacket. So when she say "Hey Max" you can put them down and start talking like a scholar 😂
Saying powerlifting isn’t a strength game is insane. It is a mental game as well but it’s a mental strength game. The fact that you have to stick to a consistent routine with ideal recovery time and nutrition is literally a lifestyle. Then you prep for weeks in a controlled environment and when the day of the meet comes around, this is everything for you. Your mind is all of the place, there’s all emotions at once all while being in front of a crowd and throwing on more weight than your prep phase all at the same time.
My big thing is I love equipped lifting. I got into it when I had a lot of shoulder tweaks (was really just crap load management looking back). that said I train it more like Ed Coan did and train raw most of the year and only really put on equipment 2-6 weeks before a meet. What gets me is the people training only in the equipment and being shocked when they aren't stronger than a recreational lifter. The band shirts have made this even worse. I saw a kid whose whole raw work was in the mid 200s but he could "bench" 800 pounds in a 4-ply F8 band shirt with 3 inserts in it making it essentially 5.5 ply. It quickly turns into a circus spectacle testing durability instead of a show of strength. It feels as if someone did a silver dollar deadlift or 18-inch deadlift with a mammoth bar in a 3-ply suit and fingering tipping in figure 8s that are a size too big (pulling really a full inch of ROM) and saying they've pulled 1000 pounds. Old school equipment in denim was especially more down to earth and mostly extended people with buggy joints careers or created numbers that could be theoretically possible and even polys are fun to watch. The lack of standardization of equipment in most feds killed the spirit of the sport and killed any appeal it did have. I was just as happy with my first raw 365 as I was with my first fury-shirted 365 (equipped came first obvi.) and is another fun variable to apply to training, but I can see why it fell out of popularity.
Bodybuilding should be periodized and it should be done in the reverse order to how we plan strength training. (Train strength in order to move more overall weight in your hypertrophy cycle)
Hot take for next episode: press downs using a tricep rope are overrated for tricep growth. The rope causes people to focus too much on the final contracted position and most would be better off using a 90 degree bar.

With all the points I mention here it makes it very individual based on what the mind set is. So different points here ofc may not work out for a lot of people for sure but maybe they do idk but for me personally it works best and everytime I try anything else bc people say "it's dumb" my training doesn't work at all ^^. for the long armed benchers: I just increase my arch and general technique to cut RoM, big belly helps, too lol. So I think long-armed Powerlifters are rather at an advantage here, if the federation has the rule set in place that ur elbows/triceps have to be at least parallel - bc the long arms benefit u on deadlifts. Sure my long legs aren't great for squat either lol but just trying to get bigger and thiccer for better leveraging haha. and my broad cows hip def. helping me on that squats, too. Also I see it in form of potential bc longer limbs can hold more muscle right and stronger legs are always good for squat and deadlift.
4 pushing pylometrics exist a lot I dont think people should bench throw but if they are athletes and require explosiveness maybe they should incorprate banded benching and if they do,do throws they should do it on a smith machine ive seen athletes like volkanovski do it
Lower weight classes (181 and below) you should be pretty lean (12% and below). The mid weight classes (198-242) it’s less important to be as lean as the lower weight classes, but you should still probably be below 18% if you want to be competitive. Overall you want to be somewhat lean at whatever weight class you are in to be competitive for best lifter. If you care about total more, BF doesn’t matter imo

Does mickey mousing a second set of headphones over the first add any additional pounds to your lifts?

Hurt my back on a deadlift bar with 315 a week after finishing and axle bar deadlift block 😂😂😂
Swimhack is james strickland. The real hot take woth regards to long arms is narrow grip pressing is based

OHP should be the 4th main lift
Nope
Pull ups goof ball
@@robirobi5950OHP should be the 5th main lift
@@RESNone208 i dont know what the fuck you are talking about. the 5th one is obviously preacher curls

Big man with big brain
IPA meets all the awards go to the geared lifters too, they don't separate best overall lifters formulas between gear/raw, or the biggest lift awards.
Lol, IPA also uses wide bench pads and F8 bench bars. They cater to the geared lifter.
For the algorithm
Thank you for answering my question LOL
There should be totals with sumo and totals with conventional, the elbow depth rule should go deeper
OHP and heavy row should be comp lift

I see it like less stable I can push so much harder with a straight bar or the triangle bar thing
This but about face pulls. The best face pull setup I've come up with is using a EZ bar handle in the cable row and pulling to my face.
Arching increases your 1rm, but an arch will not make your 100 kg bench a 200kg bench, therefore it is still a test of strength.
Wearing multiply increases your 1rm, but wearing multiply will not make your 100kg bench a 200kg bench, therefore it is still a test of strength.

I agree with everything except 5 6 and 9
5 because vertical diet and if you really wanted to maximize everything you can drink ag1 and protein power
4 pushing pylometrics exist a lot

What is the acceptable body fat in powerlifting....please reply
FULL
Below 100%
Lower weight classes (181 and below) you should be pretty lean (12% and below).
The mid weight classes (198-242) it’s less important to be as lean as the lower weight classes, but you should still probably be below 18% if you want to be competitive.
Overall you want to be somewhat lean at whatever weight class you are in to be competitive for best lifter. If you care about total more, BF doesn’t matter imo
0% or 100% Don't be a loser and half ass it.
Fat
yes
Only barbell sport is the olympic weightlifting
Big dubs.

Imagine saying a texas/ohio bar is the same as a stiff bar lmaooooo. Powerlifters love to cope
