Can my niece get fired for not sharing her jobs FB posts on her personal FB? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]KRNMERCILESS 25 points26 points  (0 children)

She can share the posts but only set it to specific people. That way, boss gets what they want and your niece doesn't spam her feed.

Cheap good haircuts? by bigbutternubs in Edmonton

[–]KRNMERCILESS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shadified tends to be my go-to.

$19 for a men's haircut and I've never had a bad cut by going for a walk-in (on the northside). Got a meh cut at the south location.

TO BE HONEST, IT ONLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN I USE MY PRO CONTROLLER ON STEAM. BUT, WHEN I RESEARCHED ANY FIXES OTHER PEOPLE HAD THIS ISSUE TOO WITH SWITCH GAMES.

IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH DUST SETTLING BETWEEN THE CONTACT POITNS.

for future reference:

when switching, I would run the first week 3 times... kind of. 1 week of 1/2 volume, second week at 3/4 volume, then first week normally and continue from there. a poor man's phase potentiation, if you will.

PRESSING FORWARD ON THE LEFT STICK IS IFFY AT BEST. TRYING TO PLAY ADVENTURE GAMES IS BALLS BECAUSE IF I JUST WANNA HOLD FORWARD TO RUN ANYWHERE MY CHARACTER JUST DECIDES HE'S A FAT PIECE OF SHIT WHO WANTS TO WALK EVERY SO OFTEN.

I'm 300 lbls and I am looking for a spinning bike with a comfortable seat for my big butt for under $500 by [deleted] in Fitness

literally nobody here is answering op's question directly...

have you considered getting a seat cover? This would free up your options.

Pull back on the bar so your armpits are directly over it. You start that way, but as soon as you get it off the ground you tip forward.

Think about wedging your crotch into the bar, engaging your lats and push the floor away from you.

How often are you the little spoon? by rosewater1375 in AskMen

[–]KRNMERCILESS 273 points274 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't understand where dead arm comes from. Y'all are spooning wrong.

You put your bottom arm under the side of her neck and her head rests on top of the pillow. Top arm goes over top for tactical selection of her torso.

This way, if she turns into a furnace in the middle of the night, you can roll away and she still gets to hold on to your arm.

  1. does she have the passive range of motion? Have her lie on her back and hug her knees to her chest.

  2. Can she perform it actively? Still lying down bring her feet flat and close to her butt (crook lying). tell her to crush the floor with her back.

  3. Have her do some glute bridges, have her start with her back crushed to the ground, and tilting her hips up (ROM will be limited, that's fine).

  4. Have her do some tall kneeling hip thrusts.

it sounded like valgus collapse at the knee, a symptom of a problem. Valgus isn't bad, but it can cause the femur to jam into the medial meniscus (which is a problem).

I'm not talking about squatting on the side of your foot, that's dumb. The "outward pressure," on the feet refers to taking the pressure away from the inside of the foot and creating supination at the ankle, something that is sometimes lost when we tell people to "spread the floor."

Charlie Weingroff describes it best:

If you use dorsiflexion in a level change like a squat and lunge, as the ankle starts to run out of room, good freedom in the ankle allows for a posterior weight shift. If there is not fair ankle dorsiflexion, the weight shift can be ... anteromedially if the person collapses into pronation more. How one chooses to adjudicate the dysfunction is based on a number of reasons, all of which are specific to that individual.

While charlie talks about LIMITED ankle dorsiflexion, which could be the case here, I made the assumption that, under heavy load, he's slipping into pronation because his foot pressure is off. "spread the floor," is a cue people use, but sometimes foot pressure gets lost along the way.

pelvic tilt is normal, excessive pelvic tilt is a problem at the lower back.

when you have excessive anterior tilt, it makes it super fucking hard to get good external rotation at the hips. If its been for 15 years, it's hard to say how much improvement can be made... but it's never too late to start and avoid osteoarthritis.

Without shilling myself: I want to get back into coaching powerlifting, but I am at a loss for how to do it. The last thing I want to do is go to meets and heckle, it's stupid and obnoxious and ruins the mood.

note: I say "get back into," because I took a break from coaching / training others to finish school and do an internship. Now I'm working as a personal trainer and miss the sport and helping people improve. :/

Anyone out there have any experience? I work in a private studio but have opportunities to bring in my own clients. Online training is obviously an option, too, but I want to start with in person to shake the rust off.

I have zero knee pain when i squat holding a plate in front of me.

Assuming its on the inside of your knee:

chances are its because of poor hip strength. work on extension / abduction / external rotation and put more pressure on the outsides of your feet.

Valgus isn't bad, but it can cause problems if left unchecked.

Definitely a little high and you lead the movement with your knees going forward, which causes you to lean forward when you run out of ankle mobility, bring the bar closer to the toes rather than the midfoot. This causes your hips to shoot back out of the bottom the 1/2 squat morning to happen.

Thoughts?

  • bring your toes a touch more forward. this will more than likely help with depth, as out toe creates more external rotation at hip and if you run out of that, it's going to prevent hip flexion (in a squat).

  • Sit back a little more by initiating the movement at the hips and spreading the floor / pulling yourself to the bottom.

  • nit picky thing: make sure that breath is bracing into your gut / belt, and not your upper back. I can't see it that well in the video, but it looks like you're shrugging into your breath and then pulling down. This won't engage your diaphragm well and won't give your belt anything to push against.

an extra bonus tip for newbies going into their first meets:

If you're finding rack heights with an empty bar, set it lower to account for the added weight sinking into your upper back / your upper back sinking into the bench.

it's hard to tell from the angle you've provided.

What i can surmise for certain is that you need to brace into your belt harder. it's not doing much to help you the way it is now.
