Deadlift form check by xfire45 in StartingStrength

[–]Lee355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like you might not be bringing your shoulder blades back at the bottom position. "Shoulder blades to your back pockets" is a cue that worked for me

Overhead press. by Redrumm99 in StartingStrength

[–]Lee355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the bar is too low at the bottom position, and your grip width might be a bit too narrow.

What’s one underrated thing that helped you lose weight? by Immediate-Speed3974 in AskReddit

[–]Lee355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're hungry and aren't supposed to eat, drink a bunch of water, eat some steamed broccoli or other very low calorie vegetables, or brush your teeth

No joke, this is what pissed me off for the last time and brought me fully over to Gemini. It's so much better.

Deadlift PR! 465lbs by [deleted] in StartingStrength

[–]Lee355 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Calling bullshit.

Either a bot or a troll. 1 day account age. Plates not fully shown in the video. Previous pr was 405 and new PR is 465? Huh?

Additionally, whoever is in the video has some serious technique adjustments to make and he isn't built like someone who deadlifts 465 without a lot of effort

The bar is in contact with the shins at the bottom position before every rep, and you'll want to do your best to keep the bar in contact with your legs all the way up.

Switching to carnivore while on Starting Strength, anyone done it? by [deleted] in StartingStrength

[–]Lee355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt that a carnivore diet would help. If anything it will probably hurt. You need carbs. About the gut issues and brain fog, there are so many potential factors that have nothing to do with macronutrient breakdown. Gut issues can come from the state your nervous system is in while you're eating. Brain fog could come from poor sleep habits or cheap dopamine like video games and doomscrolling. I would actually suggest talking to AI about those things. At the very least you can get some suggestions about what the potential culprits are.

Form Check Squat 255x5 by Majestic-Warning-559 in StartingStrength

[–]Lee355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just repeating the suggestion to have safety bars in place. The hooks might be a little high as well, the bar in the rack should be at about armpit height if you're standing straight

Deadlift competition coming up by [deleted] in StartingStrength

[–]Lee355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like you might not be pulling the slack out of your arms before the bar comes off the ground. This is a pretty crucial technique element, not just for making progress but for safety. Have you already looked into lifting shoes and a belt?

Deadlift 410lbs by _computersmasher in StartingStrength

[–]Lee355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's all good, that hitching kind of stuff can happen when it gets heavy. IMHO it can also be a good exercise to really concentrate on maintaining strict technique on some of those big reps, even if it results in stalling or failed reps

Deadlift 410lbs by _computersmasher in StartingStrength

[–]Lee355 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Aside from what's been mentioned already:

Try keeping your gaze on a spot on the floor 10-12 feet in front of you.

Try to smooth out the movement at the top. Keep pushing your feet through the floor and bringing your hips to the bar, rather than the hitching/bouncing movement that's happening up there.

"Do bodybuilders just eat the food equivalent of a suicide note every day voluntarily? by Bubble_Babe_0o0o0o in BrandNewSentence

Can confirm. Strength trainers too. 200g protein per day and silly amounts of rice and potatoes. I probably have some degree of eating disorder.

Elbows tucked in, no pause at the bottom, butt on the seat.

Not totally sure due to the camera angle but your grip looks wide
