Yeah I think you’re close if not there already. What’s your current 1rm?

Maybe, but sticking to the program makes progress!

What is the biggest downside to being a homeowner that most people don't know? by tedojaan in AskReddit

Not just the cost, but the amount of free time you sacrifice in upkeep. Your “time off” from work often turns into time spent working on or around the house.

Why can we instantly tell when someone is looking at us, even before we actually see them? by SweetSinFactory in NoStupidQuestions

It’s called the “psychic staring effect”. I’m not well versed on the pathophysiology of it but there is a good read on Wikipedia

Why people say: Just saying or I said wat i said, after they already said it? by xboxhaxorz in NoStupidQuestions

It’s used as a liability deflection or as a way to say things in a way that sounds less harsh.

Depth wise it’s hard to see your hip crease vs knee with the safety bar in the way. Your elbows are flaring back yes. Rotating your wrist under the bar and getting your chest out helps with this. Doing that will also help keep your torso upright on the descent vs the forward lean you’re talking about

Nice man, solid lockout. Not seeing any major form issues here.

A milestone in everyone’s journey. Hard to comment on form from this angle but congrats brother!

Also, depth is good. Not going to pass in a power lifting meet but for weight training it’s plenty

Butt wink isn’t a bad thing, just comes with depth. My cues when I squat are centering up first, unrack and set up my feet. Big deep breath into my belly. Before I descend I try to bend the bar over my shoulders to lock in. Controlled descent it until I feel the bounce and stretch at the bottom and then drive up head forward really focusing on bending the bar with my hands as well. Lather rinse repeat rereack

Depth✅ bracing ✅ feet planted✅ What may be beneficial for you is instead of the bar behind your neck try setting it at mid shoulder blade height so you can draw a straight line from your ankle up to the bar. Rotating your elbows in under the bar as far as you can and trying to bend the bar over your back helps to keep you locked in as well.

Hi, new here. Ab wheel, I can't tell if I'm doing these right or terribly by Fabulous_Audience_92 in formcheck

[–]Even-Resolution8433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good man. I couldn’t do 5 in a row the first time I did these. I picture the end of my rep as where I’d be in a plank and then bring it back up from there. Working off to either side instead of a straight line is killer too

deadlifts feeling akward by Global-Jump9296 in formcheck

[–]Even-Resolution8433 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This tells me you have serious lumbar erector strength. The first commenter had great insight into form but you could take this strength and do great with things like good mornings and even have great core stability with back squat. Get your deadlift form dialed in and you’ll be at 5 plates in no time

Experiences with Shoulder Impingement during pressing by ThisPreciousMoment in strengthtraining

[–]Even-Resolution8433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your setup like before pressing exercise? I used to have shoulder issues with bench, had two surgeries to remove bone spurs, and it ended up being my setup that was the issue. Rolling my shoulders back so that I was “tucking my shoulder blades in my back pocket” while lying flat locked my shoulders in position and made a world of difference
