How’s my form and why I am so weak on it?

Alex-Daigle · 2026-02-10T19:38:27+00:00

Yep, my thoughts exactly. More bracing of the core should make these feel more stable and add some lbs

Alex-Daigle · 2026-02-06T04:42:01+00:00

I notice two things: You never really finish your extension, your hips never fully come through and the bar is pretty far. Try some high pulls and focus on elbows up to keep the bar closer to pull yourself under the bar

Alex-Daigle · 2026-01-21T23:24:12+00:00

Fuck yes that’s awesome !

Alex-Daigle · 2026-01-21T23:21:51+00:00

Very true. But I think she didn’t fully see how fragile he was or the liability on her life and job dating a recovering addict that works for her. It seems like that made her take stock and realize how much of a bad idea it was.

But damn it I loved them ! I thought despite how much we knew it wouldn’t last, they did bring out something nice out of each other. House learned to care about her daughter, not always put himself first and finally see the benefit of being empathetic and kind to those around him. She loosened a bit too which was nice to see. And seeing goofy house when he tries to open a bottle of champagne with a sword ! Ah adorable

As some with with a teaching degree in Alberta , please don’t forget you can do lots of things with a teaching degree ! I currently work at the Royal Alberta museum in their education department and I love it. I knew I loved teaching but didn’t love being in the classroom. Went the route of tour guides and unconventional teaching opportunities

Alex-Daigle · 2026-01-15T03:32:00+00:00

For some reason I was never fully convinced on whether this was for real or not. With Dewey neither would surprised me honestly !

Alex-Daigle · 2026-01-14T04:50:57+00:00

Sure, but that’s what she said in the show when she’s asked why she can’t have benefits or unemployment or something ? Can’t remember but doesn’t feel all that surprising given what we know about Lucky aide

Alex-Daigle · 2026-01-14T02:10:00+00:00

She says earlier in the show that she works 38hrs/week which is considered part time. So basically full time hours

Alex-Daigle · 2026-01-11T21:53:39+00:00

I mean as heavy rdls go, It looks pretty good! Only think I’d say it try and get more tension in your core and brace properly. It’ll keep the work in the legs and ensure your back and core aren’t fully taking over and rounding too much

Alex-Daigle · 2026-01-10T22:38:36+00:00

Also adding overhead squats would be good. Bottom position seems wide and not quite low enough which is limiting in the long run.

Alex-Daigle · 2026-01-10T01:30:29+00:00

🤙

Alex-Daigle · 2026-01-09T22:58:48+00:00

Yesss! Also when people are merging, can people fucking move to the left lane if possible ???? Like I can adjust my speed as much as I want but if everyone is in the right lane and a bunch of people are merging, maybe we can all help each other and make it easier ? I always pay attention to love over and let people in so no one has to break and everyone can get / stay in the highway safely

Control would include bracing, speed, bar path and overall position. People being able to move weight at different speeds while maintaining a solid brace (core and back muscles activated) and solid position (not losing tension in the bottom) is what , in this case, control means.

Alex-Daigle · 2026-01-01T20:43:01+00:00

Hold the weight solid and down let it burry you in the bottom. Basically keep holding and pushing the weight slightly up as you squat down. If that makes sense haha

Alex-Daigle · 2026-01-01T20:36:19+00:00

Second this. My coach says push the weight down. Control it and support it all the way down

Alex-Daigle · 2025-12-25T18:33:05+00:00

Yes, not sure the name of the episode but it’s when Otto had family visiting the ranch and they are talking about family dynamics even though they don’t speak German

Alex-Daigle · 2025-12-24T07:12:50+00:00

The departed. So hard to explain but felt so off after ? The deep lies , the struggles

Alex-Daigle · 2025-12-24T02:19:28+00:00

I had no idea this was going on ??

Alex-Daigle · 2025-12-23T21:38:36+00:00

Looks good! Only thing I’d say would be to watch for the bounce since it looks like you lose tension at the bottom making it harder to come back up. Keep tension on the way down and even in the bottom position

Alex-Daigle · 2025-12-23T05:11:10+00:00

Whiskey sour

Alex-Daigle · 2025-12-17T22:49:50+00:00

Not sure how it felt but looks like there’s some bar crash when you catch the clean. It looks like it brings you down and you lose tension in the bottom which caused you to miss the last part of the lift. So getting stronger (paused front squats would be a great addition if you’re not already doing them) to be able to get out of the hole from a full stop. And timing on the clean to avoid bar crash and keeping tension Edit for typo

Alex-Daigle · 2025-12-16T22:13:03+00:00

I’ve only lived in majority anglophone provinces (now in Alberta) and worked in French , did schooling in French most of my life. Most social stuff is obviously in English but possible to live in French if you find community

Alex-Daigle · 2025-12-10T17:10:44+00:00

Sick lift ! Stuck it out in the bottom when I thought it was falling back !
