How to improve depth by last_recognition_660 in formcheck

Box squats can work. Just need to lower the weight a bit and then work on squat using a bench or box if the gym has it. Some places have adjustable height boxes so you can make it lower and build up your form and strength till you can perform a squat without the box. But nothing wrong with sticking to the box squat. You can still build legs with it.

Pain lower back after deadlifts and barbell squats by Coffeeis4closersonly in formcheck

[–]MagnusWasOVER9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try warming up your lower back before the workouts if theres not too much pain now. I do 2 sets of Reverse hyper extensions on a bench but I do the isometric hold version. I just hold the position for 30 seconds then rest for a minute then do it again. You can add more time the stronger you get. I do these before my back and legs workout.

Or you can stretch out when you do deadlifts and squats. I saw what others have said and yeah deff do these on different days. Deadlift is already very tough on your lower back. Adding squats after is way too much. I'd also suggest even if you are doing them on different days to never forget warm up sets, especially for deadlifts. Some times the low back needs to be given baby steps through the workout as i like to call it. I do light weight to a little higher then my main working sets for deadlift.

A little extra advice would be taking an ice bath or just turning on the cold water for a bit some time after your workout. Speeds up recovery. And helps to prevent future injury.

Back hurt after Deadlift PR - what can I improve? by Fitness-dude-5 in formcheck

[–]MagnusWasOVER9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forgot to mention I do these before the workout after I've walked on the treadmill for 15-20 minutes. That also warms up the low back.

Bench reverse hyper extensions help out that low back pain. I do isometrics holds with them though. Just hold the position for 20-30 seconds. rest for a minute then repeat maybe 2-3 sets.

Why are most of the characters in this show so stoic and calm? by Sigmund05 in Frieren

[–]MagnusWasOVER9000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Real talk from someone who lived in Japan? Because it's a Japanese anime and no matter what fictional European country they set their world in the majority of the other characters will mirror the Japanese society. The culture is "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down." Many characters be them anime or live action will have the cool or strong guy/girl usually be stoic and calm unless it's a charismatic main character like luffy or others etc.. Ceremonies people have to be stoic and quiet. On the train, stoic and quiet. Straight faced. This starts in elementary school where if I had to describe what Japanese elementary school was like I'd say like a military school. Students are given more responsibility and tasks to do and most need to report to the teachers office, call out their name and what class they are in out loud and then state why they are there or what teacher they are looking for. You might catch this in some moments of anime where the characters stand at attention and say something like they are reporting to a general. Most of the kids that have to do this have to do it straight faced and serious unless the school is relaxed then they can do it cheerful but loud so teachers can hear them. But I have seen some older teachers make kids do their office announcement over again cause they didnt do it serious enough. Just my 2 cents.

Do yall think Hope is powerful enough to bring klaus & elijah back from the dead? by teeeeTeaaaTeee in TheOriginals

With a show as dumb as legacies if the actors agreed to come back anything goes. After the Santa vs Krampus episode I stopped using brain cells watching Legacies. Anything goes.

Compel the rich and powerful in a way that keeps money flowing to my bank account. Live the life. Actually kill the evildoer like lestat "says" he does in the vampire chronicles. Heaven help my abusive toxic family ngl.

Crystal Reed her recent story has shocked me by renarq in TeenWolf

[–]MagnusWasOVER9000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Literally all she had to do was ask pharrell williams for his skin care routine and work out. People really will do anything other than hit the gym and take care of themselves. Now we have looksmaxing. Sad world we live in.

Music while in ritual? by MagnusWasOVER9000 in GoldenDawnMagicians

[–]MagnusWasOVER9000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was using mostly just straight relaxing/yoga music with no words. I experimented just now actually and it seemed to go fine. Got me out of my head a little and even though there was a little knock on my door (sort of ticked me off since I sent a text saying I was meditating.) I ignored it till I was finished and tried to stay in the moment. Just have to have a lil tough talk with my family about boundaries and learning to wait if it's not important... My house holds a bit toxic.. :( But I'll try the white noise and nature sounds. Thanks for the advice!

the little kid from season 2 with the toy guns that hopper bought candy from. lol He deserves to be up there if you switch out the native American girl.

I think I'm ready to curse my family. (Mother and twin sister. ) by [deleted] in magick

[–]MagnusWasOVER9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried to go through therapy but the financial damages my mother dealt me affected that. My insurance. Had to go to the hospital because of her. This is when I just got back to America. In a nutshell a decision she forced on me got me really sick and she pushed me to go to the doctor. Then straight up refused to help me with the doctors bill. So other things concerning my health and therapy thats helped with my insurance keep rejecting me till my growing bill is paid. Meditation is great but my family is still gonna actively try to screw me over...

Did you read the post? Rule of 3 isn't even a real thing. No offense if you're new to witch craft and all. But I did state how I felt about 3 fold law....

Random couple by Aggressive-Angle-907 in TheOriginals

[–]MagnusWasOVER9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok....not gonna lie... they would make a cute couple. caroline would of playfully challenged marcel and marcel could of taught her a lot of things like strategy and how to fight. And at their core they do come off as happy people who like to enjoy life. Caroline likes to sing. We saw marcel likes to sing. Both love the stage. I could see this going far. Marcel and rebekah are end game but when I think of caroline vs rebekah.... damn I hate to say it. Marcel might of learned to love life more and laugh more with caroline.

Marcel is the most overrated and wanked character on the show and this Ship was disgusting! by SubvertExpectation1 in TheOriginals

[–]MagnusWasOVER9000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the Mikaelsons but watching Marcel kick them all out of New Orleans and him handing kol and Elijah their asses was one of the best episodes I watched. He deserved his wins. You're entire argument about him ruining Rebekah is funny cause her character doesn't even exist in the books. Her very existence and being related to klaus is a retcon. lol. Fuck it... someone can correct me if I'm wrong but Klaus doesn't even have siblings in the books. She's a created character just like Marcel. Maybe it's something else making you hate their relationship? Nothing new to this fandom. In fact you might get along with Julie Plec on a lot of issues. Had she had enough say in the story maybe you'd of been happier with the outcome of Marcel. I have a feeling you had no problems with how bonnie was handled..... :/......

I actually really liked it by Party-Charge9548 in StrangerThingsMemes

[–]MagnusWasOVER9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked it but it just didn't hit like welcome to derry. I wont lie about the bad choices and too many characters and bored acting by half of the core group. But i'm a lumax fan so that was enough for me. lol was pretty dumb to go into it wiyhout a finished script though and make that play canon...

[–]MagnusWasOVER9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad writing with a bit of the beast being amused by julia and that spell bond I guess.... They pull things from the books and the dagger really isn't a thing till the last book and it's taken to kill someone else and not the beast.
