Did you get a personal trainer? Did you have friends to show you proper technique? Took a class? I really ought to do these exercises, but I can't risk injury. My livelihood depends on it.

Just wondering what you all eat on training days vs non training days? Do you all take any supplements/protein powders/ or are you solely about food? I tend to eat more carbs on days that I lift, but I ride my bike everywhere so that's not a hard and fast rule. I also try to not eat sweets on non-training days, but I work at a vegan bakery so sometimes that is tough. Any ideas on how many calories you get on training days/non training days?

firstly I am sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place, I wasn't really sure of the best place. I am really hoping I can get some help and support from people in the know, especially as I tried signing up to another bodybuilding forum and got spoken to awfully, belittled, judged and called stupid just because I am a beginner with limited knowledge and understanding, Not to mention being told I need to eat meat fish and dairy because vegan bodybuilders are fake. So I'm really hoping I will find a more understanding home here. So my name is lexie. I'm 26 from the uk, After seeing numerous pictures of women lifting heavy weight I got inspired to get in to power lifti…

Hi, has anyone got any experience of these Inov-8 olympic lifting shoes? Inov-8 are a good vegan brand with a good company ethic and if these are any good I think they'll fill the gap in my olympic lifting shoes hole. http://www.inov-8.com/New/Global/Product-View-Fastlift-335-Black-Red.html?L=27

I feel like my lifts have stalled; I don't believe I'm getting stronger anymore. Anyone have any tips and tricks to get around this? I've almost completed my 4th cycle of 5/3/1, should I try switching up my workout? I'm thinking about going to a different split for a month, and then start another 5/3/1 cycle. Thoughts? Trying to get the powerlifting talk going again, this part of the board has been silent.

We haven't had a post in a while, mainly because I don't think there's a lot of powerlifters or strongmen on here. But, what is everyone using as their routines lately? It's interesting to find what people are using, and what's working. I'm running the smolov Jr for both my squat and bench. A week and a half in and I'm repping more weight than before and I'm feeling more comfortable on the bench.

Hello all! I have a history of weakness in my hands and forearms that started about five years ago. I think a combination of long bumpy bike rides with me riding on the brakes and playing aggressive bass in a metal band for many years just continually tore my wrists and forearms down. The end result is that my forearms often tire and give before my target muscles. Today is my rest day and I'm noticing a good amount of pain in my hands left over from the past two days of lifting. I think that the weakness in my hands and forearms is related but not necessarily directly connected in any way, I think it's just two areas that I've tended to abuse in the past. I realize th…

Hey ya'll, I haven't been on here in a while, but I definitely should be here more. I've been super busy in the past year, started teaching and going to grad school full time, living off a stipend. Anyway, I've entered USAPL Raw Nationals! Thing is, it's in Colorado, I'm in Maryland... yea. Flight + Hotel = $$$ If you could send a couple bucks my way that would be amazing, just click the link below. http://fnd.us/c/6ltrc/sh/13Q4q4 Also some of my training videos are here: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheMastersofgravity

I know Richard isn't vegan, but thought irrespective of that this was worth posting up I watched the live stream of the meet last weekend, it was the CAPO Powerlifting Nationals in Australia. This is what he posted shortly after the meet... "If you do know me, you'd know that I never talk brag or boast about myself EVER! But on this day I feel that I deserve every right to do so for the simple fact that I not only just achieved these things but what makes it even better is I said that this will happen over 10 years ago! This past Sunday August 11 2013 at CAPO National in Hobart Tasmania: •I went 8 for 9 on my lifts •I broke the all time Squat world record fo…

Hey all, I know this isn't strictly powerlifting and more towards olympic lifting, but I figured out of all the forums this would be the best place to post. I'm working towards proficiency in the olympic lifts and one of the steps I'm taking is to try to get super comfortable with my overhead squat. It's improving, and I'm getting more comfortable with the bar path and engaging my lats to pull the bar back and apart, but I'm having a lot of difficulty hitting depth. I can hit parallel, but this is obviously less than ideal as a position to catch a snatch. I don't think that general mobility is a problem, because I get ass to grass with barbell squats and pistol squats, bu…
