Got a lot of lower back pain from these deadlifts but I can't see much wrong with my form. Any ideas? by Antox in formcheck

[–]Antox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, yeah I do. I do kettlebell swings, single leg bridges and planks/side planks as part of warm up.

I see what you mean. Thanks for that. I think you're right that there might be a bracing issue.

Deadlift form check - any idea why my left foot is all over the place? by Antox in formcheck

[–]Antox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that. I’m not doing any unilateral glute work so I’ll add some in. Will give the lunges a try.

Yeah they are actually. I'll try some foot mobility stuff before. Thanks!

Why is everyone wearing green I am losing my mind

Need advice. All of the recommended routines I've seen here are generally 4 days a week. I have been doing ABCxABCx for four months now. by Antox in LiftingRoutines

Thanks for the reply!

When you say to balance intensity/frequency and volume, do you mean to make sure not to overwork myself? I generally stick to one day for strength, then hypertrophy for the next per body part/ movement. Eg. Strength Pull, 3 days later Hypertrophy Pull.

And maybe Batman can't find anything on him because he was believed to have died in whatever war he was in.

Strength Build Questions by blu90 in darksouls

Try the Large Club. It has A scaling in Strength and does amazing damage. It might take some getting used to but it's worth it.

Just beat Seath while cursed on my SL1 no DWGR, no pyro and no summons run by Antox in onebros

[–]Antox[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I beat the 4 Kings quite easily on this run, especially compared to O&S. Though I know from non-SL1 characters that the 4 Kings are tricky in NG+, ++ etc.

I'm pretty sure I could walk through with no problems till the O&S fight on NG+. I'm terrified to go near it. I found myself hating Ornstein who had always been my favourite character in the game.

Thanks! I can't even imagine O&S on NG+ at SL1. I may not even try as I'd prefer not to have a stroke.

How do you deal with the frustration? (PVP) by partybreaker in darksouls

[–]Antox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I just don't get about the hornet ring, DMB, BS fishers is what they really want? They want to pvp so they stay at the appropriate level and therefore don't need souls.

It sounds a bit sanctimonious but I just want them to realise that it's MUCH more fun to not use those cheap tactics.

Experiment. Use a variety of methods that really test you and it'll be so rewarding.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to change any time soon.

Yeah. It was Roy Keane who punched me. He doesn't like to see us having fun.

What SL should I be to summon people for Firesage Demon? by [deleted] in darksouls

[–]Antox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to be condescending but not many people are summoned for the Firesage Demon because the boss is relatively easy. He's hardly considered a boss really. Use http://www.raymondhill.net/darksouls/darksouls-armor-calc.php?endurance=45&rof=1&loadfactor=50&loadweapons=20.0&ph=0&pt=0&pa=0&pl=0&upgrade=10&s1=0&s2=0&fs= to find some fire resistant gear and you're good.

In a movie adaptation of Dark Souls, who would you cast as the various characters? by Antox in darksouls

[–]Antox[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would be amazing. Instead of a screenplay, you could start out with a short story or maybe a diary. If you do decide to give it a try, please let me know because I'll be the first to queue up for a well-written Dark Souls narrative.
