From the Casual powerlifters I feel like the deadlift videos the most posted by far. And somehow their hip or back is always injured to where they can't squat.
The "Long" Femurs Powerlifter - Apparently there's an over abundance of human beings on my IG feed that have a weak squat due to their "long" femurs. I don't know how this would ever be statistically possible, but if they're throwing up #longfemurcrew in their post then it must be true.
The guy you only follow because they post moderately interesting lifting shit. The lifting posts become more sporadic and then they keep saying "BIG THINGS ARE COMING" and they follow Gary V. 2 months later the world is treated to yet another bullshit lifestyle brand.
The Gorgeous Girl Who Powerlifts;
State Champion
50k followers
Competed in less than 10 meets
Offers online coaching and seminars
Beautiful
Booty shots and Duck Lips
Not nearly as good as they think they are
If you downvote this you probably fit this description to a T.
You forgot the "Self Aware" IG powerlifter where they constantly have sarcastic captions to throw shade at anything fitness because they are jaded individuals but still want to somehow remain relevant and included
Excuses guy - poor training regime, bombs out. Instead of looking at what he can change they blame phantom injuries, the judging or anything else that is not them and keep training the same way
Has anyone posted about the Geardo/Gear Queer yet?
That guy who has all sorts of gear: Inzer Belt, SBD Belt, 2 custom Pioneers, SBD Sleeves/Strong Sleeves/all sorts of Knee Wraps, etc. And EVERYTHING is in the loudest/most obnoxious color. (Bright Pink STrong sleeves, Brightass Adidas Wrestling shoes, "ššš" Pioneer Belt that they stole the design for, etc.)
Bonus points if they Wilks ~300, but will bring a different belt for each day of the week.
I'd say I'm *The Compensator* but I don't know anyone that does good morning squats, and my deadlift is far from lacking.
So basically I just complain about sumo.
What about the teenage IPF champions that put "2016 and 2017 IPF weightclass champion," but don't clarify they are only champion in the teenage subdivision. This makes anyone that doesn't follow powerlifting confused because they see all the champions.
Ya it's for that reputation and to sell their coaching. I don't mind people putting in the shit they won in their bio, but atleast be specific so there is some clarification.
I switched to sumo, was having lower back issues that seem to disappear with the sumo pull, just feel it so much more in the right places now, feels so clean, and is allowing my back injury to heal with no aggravation at all.
Should I be embarrassed?
Hell no bro no one who actually has powerlifting knowledge hates on sumo people just like to joke around and then dumb people like to say itās cheating. Do what you like and what works best for your body leverages. What I will say is that if you switch to sumo as your main technique, make sure you still train conventional pretty often as well. No one likes people who can *only* pull sumo.
Thanks. I want to include conventional in my training, even if it has to be lighter weight higher rep, itās just not feeling good for my back right now and honestly never did.
But when I do sumo I just feel it all in my but and the right parts of my back so perfectly , I just canāt get that feel with conventional, and with my injury , conventional actually causes me unhealthy levels of discomfort at this point.
Surprised I even made it to the gym today bc these 42 muscles are severely injured. Either you're not hurt that bad or you need to go get fixed instead of pushing with no progress
The Asian Ivy League College Student -
Sub 1000lb total, $200+ squat shoes/Inzer Belt/SBD Knee sleeves despite squatting 300lbs, needs to put a yoga mat on the bench and wears a belt/mark bell wrist wraps/Strong elbow sleeves to bench 135, needlessly complicated reverse undulating FOR conjugate program that they explain every post, excuse why their bench is stalling, Makes fun of the guys who are bigger and stronger than them for doing curls, pictures of Ramen, and a Princeton or UPenn gym bag.
Edit
Also extreme ROM on squats, 2 inch ROM on bench, glasses, membership at 4 different gyms, needs to video every lift and hyperanalyze slight variations in technique, USAPL sweatshirt in 80 degree weather so everyone knows you lift, pictures of sushi.
This made me think of a guy I met who trains conjugate, Westside shirts, Westside stickers
"I don't think someone's strength is impressive if they're on steroids"
Fucking WHAT
I havenāt seen anyone comment about this, but IG lifters that always write a novel and a half on what happened each rep for each set on each post, then have a shitload of hashtags that want them to be seen as āv cuteā or āLUL WILKS XDā...
Also, Iāll be honest, Iām that Asian guy but with a shit wilks. Lmao
The USAPL Headband Lifter: Puts more thought into their outfit than understanding the reasoning for their "coach" putting in certain exercises. Complains about "poverty bench" but literally trains no prime movers for the bench. Buys every lifestyle slogan gear they can find. Talks about how hard it is to be a competitive lifter while living at home with mom and dad, going to school a couple days a week, and not working a full time job. Constantly complains about non-natty lifters because cheating. Jumps from program to program because science.
The HamburgerTrain - He'd be a borderline alcoholic if he believed in moderation. He can't tell the difference between his actual informed opinions on things and his deliberate monkey-shit-fight-at-the-zoo instigating smarmy posts. Even his compliments leave you feeling terrible about yourself. He is most likely recovering from a new surgery and sobs violently with every keystroke.
Seeing his posts curse your upcoming workout. Youāll either fail your warmups or get injured during your next session. Try to avoid direct eye contact
The deviate from program daily. Max out on non comp specific lifts to "feel in control of the weight" and "build confidence" while saying rpe 8 with seriousness. Roll in the Instagram likes. Get injured. Disappear.
The PR master: Everything is a PR. Pulled 500? Well it was fasted on a Monday only at rpe6.13 so that's a new "no food no fucking clue" pr. Benched 160? Yeah but I held my breath for sixteen seconds during the lift and didn't take a shit today so it's a new "held breath no shit" pr. Pull 135? Well I didn't get laid today or yesterday or the past 18 years of my life so this is a "no nut" pr.
For motivational purposes I agree on the prospect of taking a bad day and making it better by finding a thing you've never done and doing it, thereby technically setting a pr in whatever it is. I am all for salvaging a shit session. However I think it's silly at the same time because you get lifters who blow this out of proportion and do it every workout instead of how it's intended to be. See: Bart Kwan.
You forgot beltless volume pr, no arch pr, conventional pr, Deficit, beltless hookgrip conventional pr. Ive actually seen that last one before
did i mention im 16 and 59.4kg bw
You have no idea how hard you're triggering me right now, ahhhhh. There are lifters I respect that are way stronger than I'll ever be that I won't follow for a million dollars because I don't want to hear about their bodyweight high bar unwrapped 4 rep squat PR every other Tuesday.
The novice with a 200 Wilks who posts every single set thanking God and their coach.
I think that I've posted 5 or 6 lifting-related Instagrams ever, which is appropriate for someone with my sub-400 Wilks.
>The novice with a 200 Wilks who posts every single set thanking God and their coach.
I know one of these guys, he's got the biggest ego I've ever seen and he talked shit about me pulling sumo every chance he got. These guys exist and you just gotta laugh and move on
Well he benches 135x2, which is a big deal btw, because he'll tell you about his 135x2 bench if you so much as notice that his arms are bigger than 13", which he'll also tell you because "it was hard work man you dont get it your genetics are better than mine".
All that while he's downing his 4th protein shake of the day to "keep the muscle protein ~~synthos~~ ~~sinthesos~~ ~~synteshis~~ thing up bro"
Also "hurr durr pull sumo eat butt"
That meme died a long time ago
Where does "teehee I can't count and accidentally hit this totally accidental impressive rep PR!! I'm such a disaster" or women referring to themselves as potatoes fit?
Long posts about how she learned to "embrace her curves" and going on about how fat she [thinks she] is but that's okay because powerlifting taught her to accept her body. Is 5'3 and 115 lbs
Bonus points for posting a picture sitting down with a 4-pack next to a picture standing straight with a 6-pack and a caption about how hard it was to post "an unflattering, unedited photo" but how committed she was to letting her 138 followers see "the real her."
Like that's the crap I tell my therapist, not my unsuspecting IG followers only there to see #peachgang lol
Also sure to be followed by a post about how they have "anxiety" but not like the kind you need medicine for
> "anxiety" but not like the kind you need medicine for
" I was depressed but then I had some food so I'm not depressed, guys just be happy and it'll happen" No that was hunger you described hunger, and no that isn't how mental illness works.
What about those who come to gym in packs, only hang around the bench and even when they try to do something else you notice a horrible technique and posture? They usually have sneakers which almost look like semi high heels plus their thin calves.
[we made a sport out of going to the gym.](https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi0.kym-cdn.com%2Fentries%2Ficons%2Fmobile%2F000%2F023%2F397%2FC-658VsXoAo3ovC.jpg&f=1)
No, as far as I'm concerned, powerlifters (not gym bros) are one of the most humble people I know. Always ready to help and give an advice with a true love and passion for that sport. I can tell even for myself, that it's a true ego check. No matter how much I lift and progress and can even start thinking "oh, I am way stronger than an average female who doesn't lift" it's just enough that I see some other dude lifting twice than I'll probably even be able to for warming up (I'm a woman, it's natural), so that kinda puts my mind in a perspective.
This is true, on the other hand most of us hold the so called gym bros in disregard. I'm not proud of it, but it happens to me sometimes. Or am i the only asshole?
Yup, those (personally I lift in socks or converse, but that's not the discussion now). It's not that I hate man's calves, I just dislike when the dude is only doing bench and bicep curls. In other words, when he never even attempted to do a leg day, because - ego.
You're forgetting the supposedly woke feminist female lifter who shits on fit chicks but just so happens to include the weekly thong shot and calls out any dude who comments on it
I agree, but itās as they said, they didnāt come up with the idea. Customer created the design themselves, so they made it. I donāt think they shouldāve posted it, but theyāve posted other belts with some less than classy themes before.
I do appreciate and respect her openness about her addiction and willingness to help those struggling. I also appreciate her outreach to the LGBTQ community, but her hate on thirst shots only to post a ton herself, her constant attempts at bragging about her starting her own companies, it comes off like every time she talks about someone she says something to the effect of āthey work for meā instead of just talking about the person.
The Kirk - uses his/her strength as justification for being an absolute cunt, and is proud of it. Feels more entitled to equipment than other gym goers. May or may not use phrases like "5 minutes".
Subcategory of The Kirk is people who post on IG about how they have a pet peeve of other gym goers walking in front of their camera as if all activity must stop for their set.
Iāve seen a couple of videos that got āaggressive aggressiveā and made me want to vomit. Confronting someone for walking in front of your camera like itās a fucking home invasion...good fucking lord.
Damn didn't know I was labeled a junior lifter š
I remember going into the gym one day and seeing this small Asian guy benching 315 for reps
I heard heaps about this. Far worse than whatās in that link
From the Casual powerlifters I feel like the deadlift videos the most posted by far. And somehow their hip or back is always injured to where they can't squat.
SPOT on list. i lol'd.
Its crazy how huge this thread has gotten
I don't fit into any of the categories :(
How about the loser who only posts negative comments and is 100% sure to have a private account
The ones who insta a box of donuts at the gym every other week. Even though they only-kind of like donuts but just want to fit in

What are SARMS
Should a sumo lifer NOT wear deadlift socks? Not sure I get the joke?
no one in any of these is doing anything wrong the joke was supposed to be how easily powerlifters can be grouped together
Here's one that encompasses a lot in the OP, but the infusion of boiiiiiizzzzzz. #63boiz #93boiz #submaxboiz

Yeah for sure being injured is the only exception for only sumo pulling imo
Link me some death metal power lifters, I need some motivation and metal.
I hate when people complain about their training in every post.

It's so fucking stupid, but it gives me a solid chuckle each time I look at it.
How it feels when your knees start shaking during a deadlift and it starts hitching and you panic about red lights mid-lift

What about the guy who has mediocre lifts and buys a ton of fake followers and uses a bot to follow and unfollow people to get more real followers?
so you're finally coming clean about your instagram habits
Man if I was going to ever buy followers of buy a helluva lot more than what I have haha
that's what you say now but what if you actually only buy a small number of followers just to throw us off! i'm on to you, buddy....
LOL that like cheating on monopoly by stealing a couple ones from the bank haha
every bit helps and no body watches the small bills ;)
Ooo imma have to watch you if we ever play boardgames
if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying
Did you play O line in football? I knew some dirty holding o lineman I went up against that would say that. Haha

You have to pull conventional 10lbs above his PR and tag it as #RPE7 #assistancework.
My conventional is 155lbs heavier than his 220 pull and I never train it. Its not like Im itching to prove him wrong lol
surely no one who is actually trying exists with a 200 wilks
Well he benches 135x2, which is a big deal btw, because he'll tell you about his 135x2 bench if you so much as notice that his arms are bigger than 13", which he'll also tell you because "it was hard work man you dont get it your genetics are better than mine".

Omg the instagram preachers. Not every post needs to be an abstract, intro, data, discussion and conclusion about why you love yourself

I thought that was pretty gross and classless and I'm glad they removed the post... but I didn't toss my Pioneer belt in the trash because of it.
I cringed hard but figured someone was going to a belt like that sooner rather than later.
I agree, but itās as they said, they didnāt come up with the idea. Customer created the design themselves, so they made it. I donāt think they shouldāve posted it, but theyāve posted other belts with some less than classy themes before.
Fuck. Yes. Krissy Mae comes to mind immediately.
I like DNDL, but KMC has a lot of things I am...leery about, to put it mildly. (see: plagiarism)
I do appreciate and respect her openness about her addiction and willingness to help those struggling. I also appreciate her outreach to the LGBTQ community, but her hate on thirst shots only to post a ton herself, her constant attempts at bragging about her starting her own companies, it comes off like every time she talks about someone she says something to the effect of āthey work for meā instead of just talking about the person.
Yeah, agreed entirely.
OMG this....
who?
Who is this about, i saw Kissmyarch talking about it as well

I need this answer to replenish my salt levels
LET THE SALT RISE who is this? (Actually I can think of a handful lol)
Sounds like Ilyssa to me...
No it's not her.
All that I know is we'll see the mushroom cloud from the roasting.
Tell us more lol...
The Kirk - uses his/her strength as justification for being an absolute cunt, and is proud of it. Feels more entitled to equipment than other gym goers. May or may not use phrases like "5 minutes".
When people refer to equipment as "theirs"
Subcategory of The Kirk is people who post on IG about how they have a pet peeve of other gym goers walking in front of their camera as if all activity must stop for their set.
This is the WORST. How dare you walk freely through a space you pay to use!!!!
The passive aggressive *eyeroll* comments make me cringe
Iāve seen a couple of videos that got āaggressive aggressiveā and made me want to vomit. Confronting someone for walking in front of your camera like itās a fucking home invasion...good fucking lord.
Nerds
Guilty as charged.
Or the fuck who isn't strong and gets gassed on a set of 8 and rests for 5 minutes despite the fact " they do cardio and run alot"
