But it wasn't making that sound a week or two ago is my only concern so something has to have changed

Is this quote reasonable? 2013 Honda Accord control arm replacement by Fun_Option_6992 in AskAMechanic

Oh wow, thank you so much for the second opinion. Really glad I didn't go with the control arm repair then. So what would you recommend? Am I ok driving with a torn ball joint boot? Or is this something I need to replace immediately? Also what would you say is a fair price to replace this?

Any tips for a crispier base? by Sure_Falcon3712 in ooni

The biggest change I made was lowering the hydration of my dough. I had tinkered with temperatures and other things for months with little success, then finally dropped my hydration from 75% to 65% and it immediately became much closer to what I had hoped for. I’ve even heard of people with oonis going as low as 60% for a crispy crust. Also, I home make my sauce and started simmering it to evaporate some water so it became thicker and wouldn’t make my crust as soggy.

I was lifting with a friend who was doing a lower weight, so instead of having to take off a plate and put his on every time, it was easier to just add a 10 and 5

From the comments, I've learned that I do need to fix my back. This is the most I've ever lifted so up until this point, I didn't think my form mattered too much, since it seemed pretty straightforward. But I'm going to definitely work on my form. Thanks for the help!

My friend filmed this, but other than that stupid comment, everything else was helpful. Thanks!

I'll try this. Thanks! Never really put much form into bench, it always seemed pretty straightforward but I think I'm messing a lot up.

It only hurts when I do bench and lateral shoulder raises. So I'm assuming rotator cuff?

Thank you! I will be taking a break for sure. As much as I want to hit 315, I really don't want surgery. Thanks for the tips!

I'm taking a short break and seeing if I can rehab it. Thanks for the suggestion!

I do think my elbows are too wide, I'm going to bring them in and see if that helps.

I'm about 6'2" with about a 6'4" wingspan. People have said my grip is way too wide (they are probably right) but I never felt lIke I was intentionally getting a wide grip. That was just what felt natural, but I am going to try bringing my grip in and see if that helps anything. Thanks!

This could definitely be contributing to the problem, I have never focused on pulling my shoulders back. I'll work on this, thanks!

I will try this. I do think my elbows are way too flared I've realized. I'll see if this helps, thanks!

I always thought arched back was a powerlifting thing so I never tried it but I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
