@ronit Ena’s deadlift last year was one of the most exciting moments, even though he missed it. Can’t wait to see what he does this year.

@ortho This might be part of your problem - this is called “linear progression” and it is a form of progressive overload only suitable to beginners (or people returning from a long break). Take a deload and hop on one of the intermediate programs in the wiki :)

Tiffany Chapon hits a world record bench on the way to winning the 47 class

@wpjo I’ll take that as a compliment ☺️

@baabaasheep2010 Who do you have winning it 👀

@countrygirl011 There are different definitions of failure. Muscular failure is when you try a rep and literally fail - you can’t move the weight through the sticking point. Technical failure is when you can no longer move the weight with “good” form. This is probably one of the most common...

@allthingsarebecomenew Having a program with clear targets to meet/beat kinda negates the need for me to really feel THAT motivated. If I know I am supposed to lift a particular weight for a particular number of sets and reps, I trust the professionals who wrote the program and just do the work...

Another weight class I should have given some attention to in the main post: the men’s -66s, where the top three lifters (Brian Le, Kyota Ushiyama, Kasemsand Senumong) have near identical nominating totals, and #4 is Pana Tarinidis, is known as the king of grind for his ability to fight through...

@anon103 ❤️

@ycgp That last paragraph is so so true.

@rania You’ve gotten lots of great advice, OP, but I’ll add: if you can’t add weight or reps to progressively overload, add sets.

@camo320 Amazing! Hope they kill it 🥰

@scruffers I’m on a mission 😃

@ortho How do you choose your weights each day + implement progressive overload?

@ortho So are you autoregulating with the 3 rep set? And it’s to failure?

@ronit Yesss 💪

@ortho What is your programming like? What programs/methods have you tried over the last two years?

@zimikurot1221 I almost did some EST conversions in the main post but I was too afraid of messing up 😅

@intermediary Then you are missing out on a lot of great content from men who know the scientific literature on the topic 🤷🏻‍♀️

What is IPF Classic Worlds? The International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) is the largest international drug tested fed. “Classic” means the lifters can wear a belt and knee sleeves, but not knee wraps (or bench shirts, deadlift suits, etc). As with all standard powerlifting meets, the lifter...
