Meso Powerlifting Corner

I'm the same way. Not sure if it's bc I've squTted up to 4x a week whereas I've never pulled more than twice a week until just recently or other factors like anthropometry making pulling less efficient for me.

I think pulling is a bitch unless you're Dan Green or this Jesse Norris kid and then it isn't!

Dan green is the man. Pete rubbish as well.

 

[Masters Power]

Pete definitely fits in that category. I've considered moving my bar, mats and plates across the basement to pull in front of my washer and dryer but I don't think it would help me as much as it seems to Pete.

 

[RodgerThat]

Think Brett Gibbs should be tossed into that group too as he's an absolute animal in the 83kg category

 

[Perrin Aybara]

Garrett Blevins and David Troutt as well. Both 1800+ totals.

You and 99.99999999% of the public Jay. The only ones that know powerlifters are other powerlifters, their families and some guys who do other forms of lifting be it bodybuilding, Olympic lifting or even crossfit.

 

[RodgerThat]

Ya I got the pleasure of watching the top level guys lift at the commonwealth games in BC a couple weeks ago and you won't even see most of these guys in the how to videos because they don't look anything like the how to videos there lifting it way beyond what I can even fathom!

Not really but it does get you several free passes to MP's basement gym if you are in the states in my area.

George Leeman.... Half man, half beast, half alien.

 

[Masters Power]

George hasn't been the same for me since he started pulling in gyms.

I liked the George era when he was pulling around 800 in front of a black and white TV with duck tape holding the plates on and his hype man in the videos had a hype man.

 

[ErikR]

I just saw a video of him. 909 lb deadlift. Insane.

 

[DOMS4DAYS]

Late but subbed. Gonna read the whole thread before bed tonight. When I first started lifting my goals were to "look good". Now I'm getting to the point where I care less about how I look and just wanna be able to throw around as much weight as possible. Still excited about my bodybuilding routine but have been putting more focus on the big three lately.

Just a random sampling of this guy's videos, but you guys getting into powerlifting should check them out and his channel. Some great explanations of training manuals and setting up your own programs, peaking for a meet, etc. Dudes a beast and really knows his stuff.

Thanks. Just started watching. Good way to waste time at work.

If anyone else has any helpful videos, please post. Or any videos of good powerlifters I / we should see

 

[RodgerThat]

Figured if we'd give some videos for them to watch this would be a place to start to pick up some tips for you squat deadlift and bench. Only one note id like to put in here Layne Norton keeps his hands under the bar when squating this does not work for 95% of people going into heavy weight you should adopt a thumb over and straight wrist technique like mark rippitoe demonstrates in the starting strength book.

So for you new to this game here is your basics for deadlift


Your guide for thee ol skwaat


And for your benching needs


There are so so many more to see but this gives you a basic understanding on what will help for leverages and proper form.

I think starting my next DL day Im gonna start practicing sumo...
