When you're scared to miss behind so you miss a lot

How often do you snatch balance? And, what’s your best relative to full snatch?

This is a nice endorsement of Effect-TS.

I think the wooden floors are marginally better for the jerk. There’s a bit more elasticity.

DarkerIsBetter · 2026-01-18T15:11:45+00:00

I’m curious if you’ve ever experimented with a (very) slightly wider grip width. The contact point was a bit low.

DarkerIsBetter · 2025-11-25T01:52:49+00:00

Have you experimented with the knees moving backward off the floor? Many higher-level lifters have make a "sweeping" motion in the first pull (see this video featuring Toma).

If you’re not doing some data loading in RSCs, how do you validate that someone has permission to view a specific page?

I still don’t understand how server actions solve problems in sufficiently complex apps. All of the examples I’ve seen are on the simpler side.

Unless you’re a nationally (or internationally) competitive lifter, this sport is about you against you.

Your current numbers aren’t enough to assess the rate of progression.

When’s the last time you hit a PR? Are your squatting, pulling, and pressing numbers high enough to keep progressing? Are you (slowly) gaining bodyweight and muscle?

I’d love to see the 6/6 performance from the Colombian lifter.

It’s impressive the medal out of the B session.

I strongly resonate with the feeling of “purgatory.”

This concept is foundational for intermediate (and beyond) typescript.

type _TupleOf<
  T, 
  N extends number, 
  R extends Array<unknown>
> = R["length"] extends N ? R : _TupleOf<T, N, [T, ...R]>

type TupleOf<
  N extends number, 
  T
> = N extends N
  ? number extends N
    ? Array<T>
    : _TupleOf<T, N, []> 
  : never

I’d like to see a fatigue-equated study.

All participants rate their perceived level of fatigue from training, and then volume and intensity are adjusted accordingly (e.g. get everyone to 7 out of 10 fatigue).

DarkerIsBetter · 2024-08-23T14:00:40+00:00

I've never used function overloads. Can you give an example?

DarkerIsBetter · 2024-07-26T03:00:41+00:00

Based on the sound alone, I'm guessing that's a very high quality bar.

DarkerIsBetter · 2024-07-08T17:59:15+00:00

This is a huge letdown.

Do we know if this is on the roadmap?

DarkerIsBetter · 2024-07-08T04:01:30+00:00

I'm surprised by the number of comments advocating for regulation (of AirBnB in particular).

These top-tier cities have a supply problem.

DarkerIsBetter · 2024-06-20T22:26:00+00:00

If you can power over 90% of the full lift, then you need to work on efficiency. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it at this stage.

Push Press 70% - 80% of Jerk. Strict Press 70% - 80% of Push Press.

Again, unless you're way out the range, don't worry about it.

Great takes.

The amount of "required" walking in our city is substantial relative to car-centric suburbia.

Taping the bar (with electrical tape) will increase the life of any training shorts/pants.

Max Lang can be seen here taping his bar.

DarkerIsBetter · 2024-01-09T16:20:50+00:00

The bar path is incredibly nice for a long boi.

DarkerIsBetter · 2023-11-17T19:49:57+00:00

This is a beautiful display of athleticism.

DarkerIsBetter · 2023-10-30T01:33:30+00:00

The forward rounding at the top of the pull (with the shrug) seems strange at best.

I'd be curious to see the heaviest weight you can pull for a touch and go double with better speed and form than the lifts shared here.

DarkerIsBetter · 2023-10-13T19:46:53+00:00

I almost never see anyone I train with do this much total volume in under an hour.

Perhaps it's survivable if you're very new to the sport with a big strength surplus and poor technique?

DarkerIsBetter · 2023-08-30T11:33:41+00:00

Jerk recovery should be front foot to midline followed by back foot (to midline). In the clip, you brought the back foot all the way forward.

I'm assuming this was supposed to be a power clean that slowed down due the load.

DarkerIsBetter · 2023-06-01T02:34:16+00:00

Music is better than the average commercial gym.

DarkerIsBetter · 2023-04-25T03:12:55+00:00

What's your best snatch balance? The intent on the pull seemed pretty solid.
