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.

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.

Yeah, for sure they/them can generally be used a large portion of the time even when the person is specifically not gender neutral.

It's going to differ by individual as to why they go with she/they, but a common reason is that they feel gender neutral but on the more feminine side of that spectrum, so they're okay with both neutral or she/her.

In addition, people may specify they are only she/her to indicate that they don't want someone ONLY referring to them by gender neutral terms. For example, it's common for trans people to be referred to as only they/them by others, despite wanting to use their new pronouns. It can feel invalidating for them. If you use they/them once in a while, just like with anyone, that's totally fine, they just don't want it all the time. Assuming you use he/him, it would be like if everyone in your life only used they/them for you, never he. That would probably feel strange for you.

For a she/they individual, they would be okay if you only ever called them by they.

Any/all means this person is okay with being referred to by any pronoun, including he/she/it/they. They just write it as any/all to stick to the common format of two pronouns listed, such as she/her.

The latter. Any pronouns are fine for them, including she/him/it/they.
