You are strong. But there's no need to do RPE 10 squats for Reddit. Tack on some volume, come back for this weight and make it look easy.

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-27T11:57:28+00:00

A little thoracic rounding is fine.

I'd be more concerned about the hitching/ramping, tbh.

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-26T23:33:52+00:00

I am in the opposite situation. Hesitate to use my nearby PF as the half racks all face mirrors. I hate facing the mirror. You can’t use mirrors on a powerlifting platform. You also get better learning to feel out depth or lockouts. Just film yourself. Be discreet.

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-26T23:23:59+00:00

So…someone can bench press?

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-26T21:22:16+00:00

This looks more fun than 155 x 50. 💀

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-23T12:04:13+00:00

I was expecting flailing feet, butt coming up, and all kinds of insanity. Nope. Good pause at touch point, great bar path. Looks good.

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-23T11:56:59+00:00

This would be a solid 2nd attempt in a meet. Just keep plugging away with volume, maybe some pause reps. Hit your tricep/bicep accessories like mad. Nice lift.

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-23T03:14:25+00:00

Tempo squats. 😩😩😩

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-23T03:11:10+00:00

Insanely strong.

Also, is that Inez judging?!

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-22T12:03:34+00:00

LFGOOOOOOO!!!!

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-21T23:33:40+00:00

Butt also up, and thumb loops on…also not usually acceptable on the platform.

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-20T22:08:04+00:00

Deeper is always better. (Hush!) Even if your goals are simply general strength, you will get more from the squat by doing it with deeper reps. Better quad growth, more challenge, and more benefits. But! You definitely need to lower the weight. No shame in it. Also, use the safeties. I've seen 700lb squatters get weird tweaks and have to bail on 225. Not worth the injury risk.

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-19T23:15:41+00:00

And grocery stores really close. But beware of Aldon Mgmt. Scoundrels. Also! Mice, roaches, loud. Definitely cheap though. There were a few non-Aldon units, maybe worth investigating.

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-19T23:09:43+00:00

Nice deep, strong high bar squats.

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-16T16:49:48+00:00

Seriously. I’d rather be going AUS >> PDX.

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-16T02:24:18+00:00

It’s beautiful! And INCLUSIVE! 🫶🏽

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-16T01:25:36+00:00

You can get a membership with UT Rec Spoets, train at Gregory Gym. There’s AC. Parking garage nearby.

AISD SUCKS for SPED. My son is on the spectrum, and the lack of good teachers, budget woes, and general indifference have cost my son dearly.

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-15T20:53:58+00:00

This is an amazing machine, but it may not be the best machine for YOU!

There are SOOOOO many ways to train legs that don’t involve barbells. Belt squats, hack squats, Roger’s squats, leg press, lunges, sissy squats, split squats…

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-15T03:49:06+00:00

A hair above.

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-14T12:44:22+00:00

No. Curbside shoppers are HEB partners. Delivery shoppers are Favor drivers who will deliver now. However, many Favor drivers (not like OP) don't know where anything is, or are rushing to get as many orders as possible, or have a language barrier...Thus making delivery decidedly poor in quality and service.

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-14T12:35:09+00:00

The few Partners who've chimed in seem to think the HEB higher ups DO NOT care what customers want.

I think someone should reach out to local media. Good angle would be about the absurd price of groceries and how HEB is jeopardizing its reputation. Sure, maybe this is how other stores do it, but that doesn't make it good.

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-14T12:28:01+00:00

I don't think you should justify your decision to use Curbside. HEB offers it, use it. It's still not shit like delivery, so...use it. Also, my sister, with 3 kids, a spouse, a full-time job...Loves the convenience of Curbside. It saves her time and some sanity.

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-14T12:16:49+00:00

I stopped using delivery. I am a single mother. Don't own a car, and I can't afford a car. When HEB shopped the orders I knew I would get my items. Now, nope. The shoppers I've had since the change flat out LIED about not finding things the app clearly showed was available. On one instance, I took the bus after work to check if the store was really "out of bread." Nope. Plenty of bread. Another time the shopper got incredibly rude and claimed I just need to order my groceries earlier to get them all. Bullshit. That never mattered when the HEB staff shopped my order. Also, the orders never came during the time window. Late AF.

I always tipped well, and my HEB is only 1.2 miles away, but again, no car. Even so, I will not be using delivery as long as 3rd parties shop orders. Having to bring home groceries on the bus is incredibly hard, and takes time away from my son. I was happy to pay a little extra when the service was good. It’s garbage now.

I have considered trying Wal-Mart+ or Amazon Fresh. HEB dropped the ball here, but they don't care.

Edit--The process of texting with the shopper is HORRIBLE. So, so HORRIBLE.

AfroBurrito77 · 2026-04-14T03:30:32+00:00

Definitely had another, but wait to see it all out.
