Fucking finally
Powershitters on suicide watch
and females
Surely even the most deluded powershitter cannot take this seriously.
People take modern women seriously, even with blatant evidence of their bullshit on their faces.
Why wouldn't people take this execution seriously, when it at least actually fulfills the required parameters?
LMFAO
Her ass isn't on the bench though, this is a no-rep even under the bullshit rules.
Based. Now all of the tryhard minmaxers are gonna cry and quit the sport altogether
Now time to ban sumo
does this solve the arching problem
banning isnt enough sumoers need to die
based, I would compete in powershitting if they did this.
This but unironically.
Also require ass to go below calf level with squats and we'll finally have something respectable.
Holy shit, finally something good in this pozzed world
Good, but still not enough. The ROM is still disgraceful and powershitters will just learn how to arch while keeping their elbows low and shoulders high. IPF should have made a rule on the arch itself.
Anyone got the gif of the built for deadlifts goblin at a powerlifitng meet?
DYEL here. Memes and bullshit aside. Should I arch my back when doing a flat bench press or should it remain totally flat on the bench:
a slight arch is considered to be better for your shoulders. Try a small arch and see how it works for you. I would try not to arch until you hit at least 1pl8
Fags

The obligation is on the one talking shit, shittalking with no body posted gets disregarded.
t. floor press homegym cuck too poor to afford a bench
must be Blaha
Arching is proper form
Bro in OP's photo is arching a bit, but too much is ridiculous and not a lift. These changes make sense
arching means slight thoracic flexion, not full blown rounding dumbass.
>doesn’t know the difference between spinal flexion and extension
>thinks he should have a say in how to bench properly
My sides
>he doesn't know
lmao powershitters on suicide watch holy fuck
Arch minimally. Don't be a clown about it.
Her ass is on the bench when the weight unracks. It counts per the fucked up rules. Powershitting is for the birds. Joke tier hobby on par with Crossfit.
Nothing wrong with having ass off the bench on the unrack. It makes it easier and less stressful on the shoulders.
Wouldn't requiring the lifter to unrack and rerack the weight by themselves be a guaranteed way to stop this shit? Why are powerlifters so obsessed with assisted lifts? Like for squatting with the rack that retracts from the ceiling - if the lifter can't take a single step back with the weight then they have no business squatting it.
Sucks for lanky armlets.
How long until it's protested and they change the rules back?
Twinks and women on Reddit are already universally seething
Anecdotally most of the lifters I talked to today at my PL gym including a national champ were in favor of the elbow depth change but thought the no feet on bench is dicey. It won't get changed back, I've seen more negative sentiment online than irl
I personally don't think they went far enough. Underside of elbow beneath top of shoulder joint is too abusable and somewhat vague. I would have preferred underside of elbows breaks the plane of the top side of the bench but would be willing to split the difference and say underside of elbow beneath center of shoulder.
still a joke.
imo they should regulate the arch
maximum distance from the bench should be a human fist
if you arch more than that, you're a cheating homosexual nagger tranny liar, and you can't actually bench the weight.
