Variocam,what kind of gear did you use when you compete in powerlifting.I think you said that you had bench shirt.


Why dont you train regular bench press?Do you think you will progress in it with this kind of training,or you're not planing to go in powerlifting anymore?

I had a titan centurion nxg s+ squat suit and a z suit for deadlifts.

Never got a bench shirt. Im getting out of it b/c I dont like the training, id rather train to look good.

I suck at bench and hate training it, im just not built for it. I also hate squatting so no reason to do pl.

Absolutelly it is not for everyone,and sooner you findout that,better.But it is great that you like weightlifting stuff,hehe.

I could never train only for look,i will always find something where i can develop strength,or any physic&motoric aspect,but everyone is different.

Got my reasons. Don't feel like paying money to compete and lose. My legs grow like weeds so I avoid training them as much as possible (like they will get as large as my waist if I squat consistently). And I think bench shirts are lame.

I also like doing lots of cool different ****, curl variations, stuff like that. I do some functional stuff like snatches, power cleans, etc, and I do some sandbag work that I dont record here.

What do you think?

Probably works, Im just getting out of the strength game and focusing on looking ripped and good.

give it a shot. Ive done some static stuff after my main lifts and its nice for killing residual stuff, also negatives work pretty good too. good for busting a slump. Idk about all the math and stuff sisco talks about, I think you can just do some weeks lift heavy and few reps and longer rests and other weeks go lighter and do a ton of volume with less rest based on how you feel.
