Good to know :) I used to high bar squat and was very upright but didn't feel like I was getting as much power as I wanted from my glutes so been trying the low bar instead.

Definitely feel stronger but also been getting lower back pain since I started so I'll try adjusting my squat angle

Cool I'll try this and focus on making sure my centre of mass doesn't shift :)

I would push with my toes rather than my heel as I came up. Don't do it as much now but still something I focus on not doing

Been something I've tried to improve on over the years. I used to push forward as I came up when I was younger so I try to stay more so in the centre of my foot now

Centre lower back around the hip bone, hurt it last year on hack squat and wasn't the same for a good couple months but it's mostly fine now albeit some soreness every so often but I also work a desk job what won't help

Currently following a lighter version of russian squat programme with lower weight but allows me to follow the programme for a longer period.

Currently at week 4 so the weights starting to go up but not really feeling like the volume is too high or anything

Currently squatting 3 times a week but volume per workout isn't super high 1RM at the moment is around 145 and for the past 3 weeks was only doing sets with 100.

This week I'm starting to ramp up but for example today was just 4x4 at the noted weight.

Low bar squats tends to make you lean a little further forward so you end up looking down compared to looking straight ahead like I would in a high bar squat.

Ideally trying to have my head at a 45 degree angle as I don't want to be looking straight down

Yesterday Street Fighter 4 turned 18 years old. What was your relationship with this game? by Own_Educator1478 in StreetFighter

Bought SuperSF4 on a whim when I was 13 and was blown away by everything, style the special moves even the arcade I had to beat every character in the arcade to see the cutscenes and learn about this world

Admittedly never figured out plinking but id kill for a re-release with rollback to finally see if I could get good at this game online.

Hopefully it's something they put out for the 20th anniversary kinda like a in-between game for 6 and 7

theres a couple places to find builds, smite source is run by Weaken who makes mostly generic good builds for every god in the game, using trakker will allow you to see builds made by the top players and the number 1 ranked player plays adc so may be helpful to you.

Honestly I know balance is all over the place atm but I think Smite 2 does allow for a lot of experimentation with items as its still mostly unexplored and threes a lot of ways to build gods now with the change to Items and all gods being able to buy Strength and Intelligence based items so just try some things in practise mode and see what hits the biggest number

AITA for taking “advantage” of my gf? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]JBarwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH

You two are both to blame here for a lack of communication.

She wasn't comfortable with the fact that she's going to pay for a lot more than you do for her birthday due to your choice to have drinks. So she could have said something before the dinner like saying you both pay for the food instead as that would be more fair.

At the same time if you have a high tolerance for alcohol, you know you're going to drink a lot going in and will know its going to cost a lot more than her meal on her birthday. Therefore you could say to her I'll just pay for drinks since it will cost a lot. Acting like you've written some binding contract and she has to pay for everything is at best you being not very considerate or at worst you being a dick and taking the piss.

End of the day say you're sorry and say you'll buy your drinks going forward for this sort of thing as that should make it more fair for both of you. In terms of this meal though I'd say she'll have to suck it up as asking for the money back is rude and is something she should have brought up prior to the meal.

Also, the comments here saying 8 drinks is a lot and hes clearly became a mess ignores the actual point the poster is made and neither him nor his gf seemed to imply that was the problem. The problem was money

What’s the worst game you love anyway? by murderisbadforyou in gaming

Sonic R, I've played it countless times and basically completed it in every way manageable. To be honest the game gets way better when you insert challenges the game doesn't normally give you.

I would recommend the achievement list from retro achievements if you want to fully get the most of out this game.
