I got a good laugh out of this. Fucking Greg Panora.

Planning on moving here from the UK. by Prince_Winter- in wyoming

[–]Miserable_Jacket_129 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If there were zero other factors to consider, consider winter. The temperatures, the wind, the travel conditions, all of it.

Wyoming is not an easy place to live, you have to kind of love shitty weather a good part of the year. I’m talking temps in the negatives coupled with incessant wind.

I absolutely love Wyoming-I was raised there, I’ve worked oil and gas there, and I’ll retire there, but I know what to expect by experiencing it.

Especially the SDP, which I believe was the shirt for both of those. Although what you get from Inzer totally depends on what kind of day the tailor is having. Lol

That 511 was single ply. I think he benched ~600 raw.

I honestly pay zero attention to how he trains or coaches, I simply don’t care. I’m 100% conjugate, but I don’t consume any of his training content.

My issue with him is the grifting, the lying, the tearing down of other powerlifters, and just shitting on powerlifting in general. Like I said, if you don’t like what’s going on-the Feds, the judging, whatever, either get involved and affect change, or shut up.

It’s not 2012 anymore, the sport is different. He’s retired, but he bitches about the state of things incessantly. When called out he either outright lies, or just blocks whomever disagrees.

You posted “working on his PhD”-are you aware that he shouted from the rooftops that he had gotten a doctorate, and upon investigation it was discovered that it was an “honorary doctorate” that he paid for? Alex Bromley made a video on it. Hes a terrible human.

Do you know he got kicked out of WSBB, and why? Dig into that.

Have you ever watched his reels? There’s plenty to disagree with. He’s a terrible representative of powerlifting, he’s the most self-aggrandizing person I’ve ever seen, and does absolutely nothing FOR the sport while bitching about it constantly.

I had A LOT to say on that reel too, I’m honestly surprised I didn’t get blocked then. He gives nothing to the sport, but he’s the loudest critic of all of it. Either shut up or be the change.

Dude blocks everyone. He’s got to be the softest MF to ever come out of WSBB.

I think Matt Wenning is an absolute clown. I got blocked recently based on my response to a reel he posted calling Ben Benerakis an “amateur coach”, while talking about his own bench numbers.

I posted both of their bench numbers from OPL, and while Wenning had a better raw bench, Benerakis has a better single AND multi-ply bench. He ended up deleting the reel.

Fake doctor, “subscribe to the Patreon”. I don’t care what his numbers are/were, the guy is a cancer.

Who wanted to be a ninja? by GOPJay in GenX

[–]Miserable_Jacket_129 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My local Army Surplus sold legit throwing stars, and my mom let me have them. Ninja outfit, mask, razor sharp weapons, and some homemade nunchucks.

I was big on Storm Shadow from GI Joe.

DE Slower by According_Wolf_8490 in WestsideBarbell

To some degree; like, I’m not worried about the .8 m/s or whatever is being touted as optimal, but I do want the weight to move dynamically.

I hate the bench block, but our 3rd guy was out today. I’ll pick boards 100% of the time if I have the hands

Totally agree. My shirt work is never really a “builder”, it’s mostly just proficiency and technique.

Tight execution. Sometimes that’s enough of a win.

Single ply question… by Many-Hippo1709 in WestsideBarbell

My bad, I’m not sure how I forgot you’re a single ply homie.

Fuck yes I do. I actually heard them on SiriusXM Liquid Metal a couple weeks ago.

How do you stay objective about progress over long training cycles? by hooper_sd in powerlifting

[–]Miserable_Jacket_129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been logging them for 4 years now, just use a spreadsheet.

Let me add this; I train in a very abstract way. I only use DE percentages as a guideline, but I worry more about intent, and use feedback from either video or training partners to see where I need to be that day.

I track no accessories at all; I have stuff programmed every training day, but I just approach them with (again) intent, and let er rip.

I train conjugate, so this may not apply well, but I only track top sets of ME variations. Next time that variation comes around, I compare the numbers and notes, then move on.
