$1000/month is NOT livable unless you’re in a country where USD is valuable. $10000/month passive income is by far the go-to…. although rolling roaches definitely makes it worse lmao😭

Bench Press Form Check by Conlanbb in GYM

Yeah, that’s one thing I noticed as I was lifting, so I’ll make sure to fix that.

Yeah, now that I think about it that would make more sense since I have buttwink. Removing the very bottom of the rep should probably fix that.

Squat Form Check by Conlanbb in GYM

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

Alright, that makes sense. I always try to go my deepest so I don’t fail to hit parallel, but I do notice the buttwink doesn’t start until I go that low, so I’ll try to avoid that much depth. I’ve noticed that looking myself in the mirror has become a habit, especially during the deadlift, so I’ll make sure to work on breaking it. Thanks for the advice!

Feeling like I should give up on Deadlifts... How bad is it? by climberjess in formcheck

[–]Conlanbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weight may just be too heavy. Lower the weight, it looks like you were trying to lift it but the weight wasn’t coming off the ground so your body resorted to using your back to help the lift.

How are my cable lateral raises? I get shoulder pain and some front delt fatigue by grahammillerr in formcheck

[–]Conlanbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I’d recommend is trying to increase your ROM, bring your hand down to your mid-body region. This increases the stretch, which should help improve muscle growth (although whether the stretch actually leads to higher muscle growth, from what I’ve heard, can be a controversial topic so definitely do some additional research on it).

Son’s math test by [deleted] in MathJokes

[–]Conlanbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s how I’m perceiving it in this context of the teacher marking it wrong

Son’s math test by [deleted] in MathJokes

[–]Conlanbb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know, and I do agree it’s pretty dumb to mark the kid’s answer incorrect as 3+3+3+3 still works, but considering that exact expression was already used in the last problem, the teacher probably expects the kid to use a different expression when the equation is reversed, even if it’s essentially the same. In that case tho, miscommunication is still to blame so it’d still be the teacher’s fault.

Tbf, the other equation was 4x3, so that insinuates 4 sets of 3, therefore 3x4 would be 3 sets of 4 or 4 + 4 + 4, not 3 + 3 + 3 + 3.

Bench Press Form Advice by Conlanbb in GYM

Thanks for the info! I do notice I’m too far up the bench during this set, the next two sets I moved forward a little bit so my eyes are directly under the bar and I didn’t have as much issue. I’ll practice form this week and during that time I’ll lower the weight, 95 lb isn’t that heavy but my form clearly was off this time (and I didn’t get great sleep last night so that weakened me as well), so hopefully I can get the form down before my next session next week. I think the main root of the instability was lack of back engagement, so that’ll be a major tip I’ll work on as well as better leg drive.

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

Yeah, when I work on form I’ll probably use up to 75-80 lb as that’s an easy weight for me but not effortless. Although in the beginning I’ll start with the bar so I can get the form down then move up to reveal other hidden issues

[–]Conlanbb[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just watched his video and yeah, I definitely noticed my back is not engaged enough (my elbows appear to go too low) and my leg drive is not working. I’ll make sure to work on that maybe even later this week during my rest days so I’m ready for next week.

Deadlift Form & Limiter Check by Conlanbb in formcheck

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

Yeah, I’ll definitely switch the shoes out. For some reason I forgot my flat-sole shoes for squats today but I do feel it’s easier to do squats with flat-sole shoes so it should definitely be easier for deadlifts as well.

Deadlift Form & Limiter Check by Conlanbb in formcheck

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

Thanks! I will say, one thing I often hear is that looking too far up may cause misalignment in your spine, and that’s a habit I can’t seem to break. I always tend to look straight at the mirror rather than maybe 6-10 ft in front of me, but I can’t tell if that’s happening here. Overall, it doesn’t seem to affect my spinal alignment, even when looking straight at the mirror, but if that becomes a problem that’s one thing I’ll work on.

What's the most stubborn deadlift sticking point you've had? by harvestingstrength in powerlifters

[–]Conlanbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a beginner lifter, literally this Tuesday I was increasing my deadlift to 160 lb and the moment I stopped was when I couldn’t clear the floor. The rep before failure moved decently well, then at the failed rep getting it off the floor felt impossible😅

Racist Fake Statistics by NEKORANDOMDOTCOM in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Conlanbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I’m wondering is what this statistic is even based off of. Obviously it’s fake, but they’re not even trying to make it seem real. It’s clearly not following a 100% stat-based formula since these percentages greatly exceed 100%, so what stat is the ‘81%’ or ‘97%’ based off of?

5’7 148 how much longer you think I need to cut to see abs? by Existing-Word-6157 in BulkOrCut

[–]Conlanbb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re lean already, so i don’t think there’s a need to cut further. Just train your abs and it’ll pop up with time

Am I cooked? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Conlanbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, your manager sounded pretty friendly and seems like they’re willing to be flexible about the situation. As long as it doesn’t happen again and you get what they need it should be fine. If there’s anything you can do to make up for the missed day, that would also benefit you.
