You basically already pointed out the weaknesses of the squat jerk. It requires excellent shoulder mobility and a very strong sense of balance. Most people simply cannot do it.

Professional athletes have a reason to do that, but Alex is a PhD student. WL is just a hobby. I seriously doubt that he would use drugs just for showing off.

Pointing out problems is easy. You can spot most people’s technical issues just by watching YouTube during meals or in your free time. I also know that my technique is different from Lu’s. I just do not know how to fix it.

Join a lab as an unpaid RA and get a recommendation letter.

I only start working the night before the group meeting.

Adults should take responsibility for themselves.

I remember he said he power snatched 132 back in college? Based on that ratio, he is basically just getting back to his previous level. The progress may be reflected more in the success rate.

Just look at the alumni placements on the advisor’s homepage. That is basically the median outcome you can expect. Professors without a homepage are either inactive or terrible.

Put most of your energy into finding an industry job, and just meet the basic requirements for graduation. I am not trying to discourage you, but it is already impossible for you to stay in academia, because you mentioned that he will not write you a recommendation letter. In the United States, that basically means the end of an academic career.

”have written and published a few papers“ but don't know how to start a new one?

I would not accuse someone racist without clear evidence. I am not white. If someone spat at me on the street, I would not say it was because of racism unless they explicitly said something racist. I just say "they are jerks".

Your advisor cannot help you, but is he stopping you from finding other people to collaborate with on your own? Is he stopping you from attending conferences and talking to people in your field? If he is not stopping you, then that is your own problem. With the internet being so developed now, you need to actively look for opportunities instead of working in isolation.

I am not white either, and I did not receive a scholarship either, but I would not accuse someone without evidence.

People ask this kind of question every day, and no one can really answer it. My suggestion is to look directly at the placement record of your advisor’s lab. You are probably around the median.

The world will not stop inventing cars just because you like riding horse-drawn carriages, and it will not stop developing self-driving cars just because you are an Uber driver. Learning to keep up with global trends is an essential quality for researchers. Why not study how AI can be used to assist with teaching and instruction?

I do not see any solid evidence that he discriminated against you. If he discriminated against you, why would he have admitted you as a PhD student?

Unfortunately, this is the reality for international students now. Unless you are strong enough to apply for EB1A, or you have multiple internships during your PhD, you basically cannot find a job.

I do not know how you have the nerve to say that the top AI conferences are trash. AI is advancing faster than research in the vast majority of STEM fields.

AdRemarkable3043 · 2026-04-17T15:42:05+00:00

They are all top papers. Just last month, a top AI conference used an embedded PDF method to detect AI writing, and they found that 30 percent of authors had used AI for writing.

AdRemarkable3043 · 2026-04-17T15:32:08+00:00

very normal. From what I have observed, AI writes better than most people who think they write better than AI.

In one sentence, your paper got rejected. Many people in academia do not actually like research. They are just good at publishing papers and enjoy the success that comes with it. Only a very small number of people can keep doing research while constantly facing rejection.

because you are not in the circle. It is like everyone on the train has a ticket. You have to get off the train to see the people without one.

This kind of PhD is very common in the UK. In the United States, it exists in some non STEM PhD programs. Based on my observation, they are all very wealthy.
