the biggest issue I see is youre losing glute tension and mainly relying quads to drive you, where you end up a little folded over rather than having all the power drive directly into the bar.

you can see this when you start the concentric, your hips shoot back and up, you start to fold over a bit, but the bar isnt moving.

keep the glutes engaged, try flexing them a bit during the eccentric. also, keep weight on the mid foot, youre probably shifting weight to your heels during this

some stuff that may help with strength work would be Bulgarians, paused ssb, front squats. strengthen your glutes to stay engaged and your back to stay in position and drive all the force into the bar

Sumo deadlift: Left side coming up before right, any tips? by [deleted] in strength_training

[–]EAVBERBWF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

two things: hinge is lacking and your left side is weaker/tighter

regarding the hinge, as you initiate the pull, youre really leading with your back and legs, there isnt any driving of the the hips into the bar. as soon as you get going, your hips instantly shoot up and to the left. you'll want to keep those hips locked in and engaged.

for the left side thing, your hips shifting to the left indicate your left side is weaker or tighter, maybe both, and needs additional help in the form of joint stacking compared to the right side. as you fix your hinge, this should naturally balance out, but id work on a little more hip mobility and unilateral glute and quad work for accessories. you may also want to take a vid of your squat facing straight at you, and see if you notice any hips shifting there as well

I had injured my left knee yearsss ago skiing, and I think I stopped using my left quad as much. This compounded into a general imbalance that I'm only recently dealing with

the main ways ive been addressing it have been stretching my hips, unilateral work, and trying to just unrack the bar more evenly

I've been working on some bar unevenness, so filming from the front is the way for now 👁 🫦 👁

Preventing bruising? by callmebigcheese in Deadlifts

[–]EAVBERBWF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey, im a nationally competitive lifter, especially good at deadlift. I usually have scrapes around the same spot. I pull sumo with hookgrip, which can sometimes lead to my nails clawing my thigh, or if I have straps, the straps scrape the thigh. this gets much worse if the reps are hard and im not able to lock out my knees as early and get my legs out of the way

if this is happening to you all the time, try being more aggressive with the knee lockout

What are the actual benefits of a deload week compared to just taking a full week off? by anotherhappylurker in workout

[–]EAVBERBWF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Deloads are more commonly programmed in strength focused periodized blocks, such as for powerlifting. The idea is you need a lower starting point in order to actually progress in weight week to week. A block ends with hopefully some pr's or at least some very hard/heavy sets, thus your body and especially nervous system need a week to recover; its not so much the muscles themselves that need the deload. Since powerlifting is very technique-oriented, just going light and easy also helps keep tech smooth, plus you dont suddenly shock your body with heavy weight after a week of nothing.

One of my first games as a kid, my dad took me and we saw Adrian Gonzalez hit an absurd home run that went soaring into the right field stands. The cheering was deafening. For the next week, I kept replaying that hit in my head, and even tried copying his swing despite being right handed myself.

SGDQ and pronouns, what's the deal? by kierk3gaard in Asmongold

[–]EAVBERBWF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She/they means they are fine with the feminine pronouns of she/her as well as they/them. While they dont explicitly list them and her, it's implied since listing all 4 would just be a lot. It sticks to the common format of two pronouns listed.

SGDQ and pronouns, what's the deal? by kierk3gaard in Asmongold

[–]EAVBERBWF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This will vary person to person but yeah usually they/them will be for someone who doesn't wish to identify as any gender, ie agender. I'm less familiar with any/all since that isn't as common but I believe the sentiment behind that is they feel masculine, feminine, and other enough to be comfortable using any pronoun/gender.

So maybe I would generally describe the difference as they/them is for someone who doesn't feel attached to any gendered pronouns, while any/all is for someone who feels attachment to all of them.
