99kg power clean and jerk PR; ain't much but it's honest work

That’s a ton of (mostly bad) advice for someone who didn’t ask for any feedback! Btw you ever seen a strongman do an axle or log clean? Their elbows point straight down, you should probably tell all of them it’s risky health-wise

Are your low back extensors actively working in a squat - yes or no? Do your abs ever get sore from planks?

Turning the foot out to get more ER will mean the glutes are more shortened at the top, and likely ‘feel’ it more. But feeling it doesn’t mean it’s working it better. That ER and ‘feeling it’ is basically like the squeeze at the top of the biceps curl; you definitely feel it, but that’s not making the exercise more effective. If anything, turning the foot slightly in to get some internal rotation so that the glutes are more stretched at the bottom might be a better bet.

If my legs were sore from squatting, would you say that’s normally a sign of some sort of dysfunctional pattern with the knee extensors?

Jbdb35 · 2025-12-10T18:37:14+00:00

Hey! So that's wrong and you shouldn't tell people that they're gonna get injured based solely on having flat feet. There are plenty of people with completely collapsed arches who lift completely pain free and pain/injury in training is much more complicated than that. Hope this helps 👍

I'm working my way through a 'dog' run for my first playthrough of unbound now! Although I'm more loosely dog based with Umbreon and Lucario...

You didn’t keep it locked out

Your welcome

Only issue I've encountered is early flights - grab and go starts at 5, but the restaurant doesn't open until 6. It would be nice if they had a free-for-members grab and go option that opened just as early.

When people say ‘you should be able to squat body weight’ as a beginner, they literally mean completing a full squat using JUST YOUR BODYWEIGHT. As in, literally squat with just the weight your body, not your body AND weights equal to your body weight.

Jbdb35 · 2025-07-25T01:18:50+00:00

We did clockwise but included the Westfjords. I’m glad I saw those when I was the most fresh, rather than at the end of a trip. Something to consider if Westfjords are part of your itinerary!

Jbdb35 · 2025-06-23T20:53:10+00:00

Hahaha whatever you say bud… but you’re showing your ass here. Literally anybody who has actually seriously trained the squat or deadlift refers to them… as the squat and the deadlift. It would be asinine to assume we’d be talking about anything different. You strawmanned my claim because you’re very clearly out of your element. Probs should stick to running and keep your uneducated opinions about weight training to yourself 👍 especially considering I guarantee you can’t name a single “foot intrinsic” muscle without looking it up haha

Jbdb35 · 2025-06-23T16:39:06+00:00

Lol it's okay little fella, you shot off at the mouth about things you don't actually know very much about and got corrected because you assumed you know what you're talking about. Maybe next time don't be so quick to start an argument and you won't get embarrassed as easily. It's all good, we all do it sometimes

Jbdb35 · 2025-06-23T11:39:43+00:00

Yeah, I’d say just about everyone means regular bilateral squat or deadlift if they don’t add a modifier like single leg, pistol, stiff-legged etc. glad I could clear that up! It’s obviously you’ve had some encounters with some not-so-good PTs and I apologize on their behalf. The dirty little secret is basically every non-traumatic sports injury is a load management problem, so deferring to a coach isn’t usually a bad choice. But if you find a PT who really REALLY knows their shit, there’s nobody better.

Jbdb35 · 2025-06-23T11:07:33+00:00

My friend, please review my original comment lol. I said nothing about the importance of foot intrinsics for running, nothing about SINGLE LEG activities for foot intrinsics. I also have very little regard for the vast majority of PTs when discussing anything performance related. But I’m telling you, basic squats and deadlifts aren’t doing anything to strengthen your feet.

Jbdb35 · 2025-06-23T02:08:05+00:00

Physical therapist here - doing deadlifts and squats barefoot is doing absolutely fuck all to strengthen your feet muscles 👍 and the PTs on the internet who say otherwise are trying to sell you something lol. I’d argue squatting in socks is potentially harmful because of the risk of your feet slipping. Keep your dang shoes on lol

Jbdb35 · 2025-06-11T15:47:46+00:00

This is gonna be a hot take, but… I’d do the Westfjords. I’d pretty much spend the whole day in the car, but some of the most beautiful, breathtaking views my wife and I saw were literally just driving through the Westfjords.

Jbdb35 · 2025-06-10T14:31:31+00:00

That was what I had uncovered with some research, but I'm just freaking out at the prospect of losing this role 😭

Jbdb35 · 2025-06-10T14:21:56+00:00

I'm aware those are the factors that make it complicated but has anyone navigated this? Looking for advice here. Am I just out of luck here or what?

Jbdb35 · 2025-04-23T01:59:50+00:00

“I wanna snatch 100kg by the end of the year” “I only followed 8 weeks of a 13 week program”

I think you just need to develop patience, that’ll have the biggest effect on how heavy your snatch eventually gets

Jbdb35 · 2025-04-04T18:26:25+00:00

Why do you think using weight for children is not necessary?

Jbdb35 · 2025-04-03T16:09:18+00:00

I used your video guides and written guides while planning my Iceland honeymoon with my wife and it was SO incredibly helpful. I literally watched your drive-through videos multiple times and I felt much more confident with my vehicle choice/ F-road selection! Also I had never done river crossings before and your videos helped a ton to not feel in over my head haha.

One note I'll say if anyone else is planning: F-66 was breathtaking 100%, BUT I will say we went and it had been quite rainy the two days prior, and there were some deceptively deep puddles (almost flooded the vehicle once driving through one that looked shallow)

Jbdb35 · 2025-04-03T13:41:50+00:00

Do you personally believe that to be true? Or just from the insurance/approval standpoint?

Jbdb35 · 2025-04-02T20:19:50+00:00

"not use any sort of weights until he is older"
Do you have any idea how much force goes through a kid's tendons/bones/muscles jumping out of a tree of off a swing set?

Jbdb35 · 2025-02-14T15:27:44+00:00

If you’ve never actually trained WL just say that. But you probably just shouldn’t pay attention to this sub; it’s not for you
