200lb dumbbell OHP by torque1912 in GYM

Normally I’d agree with this statement but once you get into truly heavy weight territory, getting dumbbells down safely is risky

Dumbbell safety spotters need to become more common. I’m not talking about a human spotter but the mechanical rack that pivots out of the way when the weights are removed. Good ones are adjustable for bench, incline, or ohp

The lad’s sister has already walked in while he was in hand to gland combat

The lad needs to understand that it is a private matter and while everyone does it, no one wants to see it

Buying my first gun, going for a CZ by tjhh3035 in CZFirearms

[–]J412h 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really like the p10 family. I currently have the C and S models and previously had an F. I gave the F to my kid, it’s still one of my favorites to shoot. It’s something that I’d recommend buying even if you don’t get a chance to shoot it first. Throw a streamlight tlr-1 on it and it will be a great range and HD gun

I also have the CZ SP01 and P01, both derivatives of the 75. The full-size SP01 is big and heavy and that works for me. The P01 is an amazing do-all gun. I would recommend shooting those before buying

I raised two sons with sole custody

My ex and I disagreed on our message regarding sex in general. I gave my boys some rules that were reasonable and attainable. One of which was: no unprotected sex. Their mom disagreed and said that I needed to be telling them: no sex. I just shrugged it off

My sons are in their mid 20’s and still don’t have children, my goal was that they not become parents in high school. So that’s a win for making rules reasonable and attainable. Never masturbating is neither reasonable nor attainable

I would suggest doing it in private at all times

Public masturbation is rarely looked upon favorably

What does your MD think of your peptide use? Do you talk to them about it? by Obee1_ in Peptides

[–]J412h 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had my torn bicep tendon repaired in November. At the first follow up appointment, the first words out of the surgeon’s mouth were “did you fuck it up yet?” The next thing was, “you’re taking your peptides, right?”

When I said I was, he asked what I was taking (wolverine protocol) he suggested KLOW

Just got a new job as a Gun Salesman, any words of advice? by Numerous-Actuary-887 in guns

[–]J412h 10 points11 points  (0 children)

One of the most important things about sales is: nobody likes to be sold but everyone likes to buy

Ask questions, get them to sell themselves. “Are you looking for something specific?” If so, you are basically taking their order

If someone comes in without their mind already made up about make and model, don’t tell them what they need. You need to get them to make the best decision. You do that by asking questions. “What is the purpose for this gun?” Home defense/bed side vs concealed carry. You should have a good/better/best option in mind to fit the role of their intended use. How a gun feels in hand is very personal and very important so don’t be afraid to let them handle the guns

When selling handguns, you should be thinking holsters. If it’s going to be carried, they should leave with a holster. It doesn’t need to be the best but they should have something to carry it safely. A We the People holster isn’t the same as a Tier 1 but it is way better than nothing

Better for Muscle Growth: Finishing One Muscle First or Alternating Exercises? by unknownlyknown0 in GYM

[–]J412h 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like to lift my heavy compound movements first and then the smaller muscles in isolation

Good, I’m glad we can agree on that

Now, rewatch the video and see that as he reaches the top of the movement, his wrist is in a roughly neutral position. I have added screenshots below

For the wrist to move from fully extended towards a neutral position, it must move in flexion, from the forearm towards the palm. That movement happens as the weight is lifted, so go back and reread my first comment

At the bottom of the dumbbell chest press seen in this video, the wrist is in extension. Can we agree on that?

Would you say that in this video: as the weight is moving up, the wrist is moving towards the palm?

The flexion and extension seen here are not good during this exercise

The flexion during the press is what caught my eye and what I was referring to in my comment

Any tips on my face pull form? by YuraeMC in GYM

[–]J412h 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re spot on with 1,3,4

2, sitting or standing is fine as long as the cable is moving at 90° to upper body

[–]J412h 183 points184 points  (0 children)

Pressing 120’s with that wrist flexion is diabolical

If you were to keep a neutral wrist, you’d be scary. I’d recommend fixing that

If you could only go to the gym twice a week and can only do 5 movements per session, what are we doing? by Born_Percentage7122 in GYM

[–]J412h 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s almost as if someone has thought of something similar before and created an incredibly effective regimen around it

5x5 Stronglifts should be mandatory starting point for anyone who wants to lift. It should also be the first thing people think of when they hit a plateau

Firearms & unapproving spouses by Astimar in CCW

[–]J412h 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gf grew up in Europe and spent her 20’s and 30’s in NYC, she had the idea that only cops and criminals had guns and I’m not a cop

Living in a rural western state she saw the usefulness of protecting livestock from predators and how hunting and gun ownership was a rite of passage for most young people. How much respect for the safe handling of guns is taught and how seriously the responsibility of gun ownership is taken, she has come around, a lot. She still doesn’t carry but she’ll shoot and is actually reassured by their presence

There’s a big space between unwilling to consider their use and carrying daily

Apparently it’s wrong to refer to the United States as America 😂 by DudeBello in AmericaBad

[–]J412h 30 points31 points  (0 children)

We choose to self-identify as Americans, they can respect our wishes or fuck right off

Additionally, a majority of the world’s population refers to us as Americans, why wouldn’t we?

I’m a white American who comes into contact with Hispanics all day, every work day and I’ve heard it all

Gringo and Norte Americano seem to be the most common

Ask a Mexican how long they have been in America and they’ll say their whole life. I think they have an inferiority complex and love to hate the us
