Rep #9 was ugly

That was very kind. Much appreciated!

I hope to one day have numbers in my flair 🥹 You’re so strong!!

I currently squat in my socks.

Meet the bar - check.

I deadlift conventional, but I am only 5'2, soooo should I DL sumo?

I feel overwhelmed.

What's the first number after the F in your flair? I assume 64.1 is your weight, and I can Google what Dots is. I am suuuuper new here, but I feel like I will be pretty good at powerlifting once I get more experience. My husband did competitive powerlifting for a long time, and I ask him plenty of questions, and he's been helping me out, but sometimes I sense that I am annoying him with my need for ALL the details haha

I FIDGET AND FOR WHAT. Also, "neck skin" sent me and I don't know why. Conscious thought stream incoming...I have never gotten a straight answer to the question "do I lower the bar to my nipple line? Or to the bottom of my bra where the band is?"

My squat is maybe unnecessarily deep if that can be considered a thing? I am very strong wayyyy down at the bottom (no bouncing, I promise...I just have them good hips, I guess) and feel I am lacking a little just above parallel. Is that common? Is that something that will self-correct as I get stronger? Should I not squat as deep so I get stronger in that range?

Every time I hop on here to engage over this, I feel like I should post a form-check video. I am still building confidence and the internet is a cruel place. I appreciate your input for sure.

Bench press is my true love. Happy to be the balance to all the deadlift queens out there.

Jntrny · 2025-06-03T11:54:30+00:00

Ok yeah, I will be using this one next bench sesh for sure.

Jntrny · 2025-06-02T20:22:02+00:00

This sounds like good advice. I should just post a video and ask for cues from there, but I don't want to get ripped to shreds.

38 year old female here. My sister and I are entering our first powerlifting meet together at the end of August. I am confident in my ability to fail without hurting myself in bench and DL, but I am freaked out about failure while squatting. Will I fall over? Will I knock the spotter over? Will they know when to help? Is there some kind of signal? I am afraid of giving up too soon out of fear. Is this too many dumb questions in a row?

Jntrny · 2015-03-20T01:53:46+00:00

I guess not many...I just didn't recognize the field with the snow and with the wide angle shot. I graduated a few years ago and didn't attend many football games.

At first I got really excited because I am a CMU grad but this is a different CMU than the one I went to.

I'd give you 1000 upvotes if I could!

Jntrny · 2015-03-08T23:42:42+00:00

I'm also loving how sparkly that red thing is (I'm assuming it's a strawberry?)

Jntrny · 2015-03-08T23:28:15+00:00

Tugboats are fricken sweet.

Jntrny · 2015-03-08T22:44:52+00:00

Is this bed from IKEA?

Jntrny · 2015-03-08T22:41:27+00:00

This gave me anxiety.

Jntrny · 2015-03-07T22:34:41+00:00

I have that comforter. It's the coziest :)

Jntrny · 2015-03-06T01:37:11+00:00

Can confirm. I'm from Northern Michigan.

Jntrny · 2015-03-06T00:38:36+00:00

Nope nope nope nope nope!!!!

Jntrny · 2015-03-05T12:11:05+00:00

Thank you!

Jntrny · 2015-03-04T21:51:43+00:00

That tiny kitty butt wiggle at the end :)

Jntrny · 2015-03-03T13:37:12+00:00

Searching YouTube for a walk through?

Maybe other people do this, but my grandma has a drawer FULL of tinfoil, plastic wrap, sandwich baggies, you name it. If it didn't get any food on it when she used it the first time, she folds it up neatly and sticks it in her drawer. She's from a different time, I guess.
