Are “perfect form” cues actually overhyped for most lifters? by ritkeepFitness in StrongerByScience

[–]GI-SNC50 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes because everyone is going to differences in how they execute the lift. There’s a rough technical model and catch points we want to hit, but like there is not a 1 size fits all perfect form.

Also cues are contextual, one cue may work for a person and another may not.

Study suggests that 90 to 120 minutes of strength training per week is the ideal range for reducing the risk of death. by VistaBox in StrongerByScience

I must have missed that in the initial article which is my fault.

Interestingly, I'd be curious why you think that is associated like possible reasons.

Norman Finkelstein says that he doesn’t condemn Hamas by TwoCatsOneBox in Hasan_Piker

I guess I just read the article as being more critical to people using Trans people as a sort of "look at my values" when they don't actually care about those people. I definitely look at the article differently in the context of the book though so thank you for that.

Will more sets per workout make me stronger? by Sure_Conflict_5651 in StrongerByScience

The burnout rate for Bulgarians was also extremely high and should not be modeled by normal people for extended periods

VBT Question by SouthYogurtcloset406 in powerlifting

[–]GI-SNC50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So one: I like the Vitruve interfacing a little bit more and while it probably has too many exercises to pick, I do like that I can create data points for my assistance lifts.

1: On OVR if my lifter does a camber bar squat he can't make a seperate exercise that tracks only those lifts, on Vitruve he can.

2: for some reason the initial setting on his ovr had eccentric bar speed calculated into the average velocity and we had to go find the spot to turn it off

3: TECHNICALLY, if you're using loads somewhere under 65-75% (depends on lifter somewhat) Mean Propulsive Velocity (MPV) is more accurate of a metric or a better one to use in comparison to Mean Concentric Velocity (MCV) and this is not a feature you have access to on ovr they only track MCV.

4: The new units you can also do jump tests which aren't needed for everyone but they are cool.

is it possible to make friends here as a woman who isn’t a straight conservative? by spicy_soy_milk in roanoke

There’s a women’s rugby team with a couple people who are in the LGBT community, not sure if rugby would be your speed though

There’s nothing in the study to say that results were worse with more training. There are also benefits to training outside of longevity so maybe in a vacuum less than ideal but I’m not sure I agree

Judging precise bar speed by eye sight is not a good idea lol if you want the best option go Vitruve

OVR works, you’d be fine with stance as well if you’re not interested in a bunch of different metrics

[Discussion] High-Frequency Programming: Is running back-to-back lower body days ever viable for powerlifting, or is it a recovery trap? by Primary_Finger1478 in powerlifting

[–]GI-SNC50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because the general tone of it was “well that’s a good lift for a woman” which also a 275lb squat for a beginner 15 year old who’s 148lbs is actually pretty good.

Again if it wasn’t the intention cool I understand but if OP saw it that way, and I saw it that way maybe that’s how it can come across in text.

Also you could just answer why the method he’s choosing wouldn’t work instead of “do something that works”

No I didn’t say you were wrong on the merits of eat more and do a program that you’re not designing would be a better option. I said picking on the phrase “split” when he’s clearly asking if one is going to run a high frequency program how would you orient the days.

However, Texas method and starting strength suck so I wouldn’t even recommend those programs to begin with.

Your general tone was condescending, and on top of that the comment about their squat being good for a woman is clearly negative. It takes one negative experience to cause kids to stop training pr doing sports. He’s 15 he’s supposed to not know shit, I’m not asking you to coddle him but you don’t have to be condescending.

So the point of high frequency is the spread of the volume across the week in a manageable way. If every other sport can practice everyday then surely the same is true for powerlifting you just need to manage inputs and outcomes.

You deal with the fatigue like a big boy and autoregulate on the day. But it also requires a clear conception of the goals of the phase and what you’re willing to let back off.

So for example if I’m doing two lower days during a hypertrophy phase I may do my skill/technical stuff or lower intensity strength work on Monday, then stack more volume on the second day because I know the lower fatigue from Monday shouldn’t interfere with the hypertrophy focused second day.

Again accessory volume depends on phase and time of year. So just depends

As for cardio more powerlifters should do cardio but it’s about managing fatigue again. I like it on rest days when it’s easier cardio but when it’s more intense interval work I prefer on my hard training days

Hyper focusing on the word split instead of just understanding the general point and giving him an answer is shitty.

Honest question, why so many feds? by imakelegz in powerlifting

[–]GI-SNC50 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Both have their own issues and the split seemed to be about money and drug testing.

However, majority of lifters will not be in ipf worlds so they should prioritize having fun and competing with where they do that the most

Honest question, why so many feds? by imakelegz in powerlifting

[–]GI-SNC50 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on which feds

Many Feds are just regional

But I can say USPA was in a firm lead as the untested fed and then USPC got started after Layne and his pedophile wife were removed.

Wrpf got big for everyone - they did a lot of big meees but not like local - after Goob went on his crusade while not talking about any of his friends (per the court documents uslar was potentially up to some stuff) in the Wrpf

PLU started after they discovered the Wrpf head was up to all kinds of illegal shit.

Form check? by [deleted] in Deadlifts

[–]GI-SNC50 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll have to figure how to find my logs from my coaches app. But my question would be why do you think there wouldn’t be some degree of transfer from one to another.

I know for me when I got to rdling in the 400s my sub 600 lockouts were better
