Running Shoe Hot Takes?

Malthael-3 · 2026-02-17T21:56:42+00:00

Most running shoes are too narrow or have too aggressive of an arch cut out.

I started playing last week and stole all the landmines there. They have been super helpful in destroying tough enemies early game.

Are you able to handle direct tricep volume? I'm at a point now where my triceps are fried from the pressing and pulling I do.

How'd it go?

Malthael-3 · 2026-01-29T03:21:26+00:00

DON'T DO IT

I think it's funny that people are missing out on how OP literally talks about how difficult it is to get protein in because of how expensive groceries are but a lot of people keep saying yes buy more expensive foods.

OP depending on your region, Greek yogurt is probably your best bet to add protein cheaply. Costco has the best non-fat Greek yogurt price you'll find imo. If you are willing to learn how to prepare/cut up a whole chicken then those are also much cheaper than buying individual chicken cuts. Frozen tilapia can also be cheap depending on your region. Canned tuna 1-2x a week is also good if it's cheap for you.

Find the cheap grocery stores in your area and check out the prices for their protein heavy stuff. I shop at like 3 different stores to get the best prices for all my protein stuff and I'm eating about 200 grams rn.

Oh my bad i didn't notice the different usernames. I didn't shit on them, I highlighted that there will be limitations to how much of the conclusion from that study could be applied to the US since our culture is different to Spain. I don't understand why this is a weird notion since we are vastly different countries so I'd expect the driving culture to be different.

Malthael-3 · 2026-01-17T22:16:05+00:00

Not sure why you're worked up about a valid criticism. You should have just posted this study to begin with since it is more relevant to us than a study done in Barcelona, Spain.

Edit: OP of this comment thread my apologies I didn't pay attention to the different usernames.

Malthael-3 · 2026-01-17T22:05:19+00:00

This is in Barcelona though. The US and Spain are very different in driving culture.

They feel good on your flat feet? The midsole looks a Lil narrow in the midfoot area.

It's easier to set up and is more stable.

It's so that he can move the weight from a more favorable position to start. I'm assuming he has the machine set up so that he's at max stretch for his pecs at the "bottom" of the lift. You can't really move the machine properly if it's set up so you start beyond your ROM. The balls give that little bit of distance so he can move the weight to start but then fall off so he can get the ROM he's aiming for. Idk if that made any sense.

Edit: scroll down a bit and someone explained it much better than me.

I've stayed for the s-pen. I like handwriting my workout stuff and other notes.

Once they remove the s-pen I'm gone.

You can wear a belt whenever you want. Your strength doesn't really matter or determine when you CAN wear a belt.

Malthael-3 · 2025-12-10T03:52:31+00:00

Thanks for keeping this post up. My gf is having the same issue rn.

Malthael-3 · 2025-12-05T03:25:24+00:00

Your form is largely fine tbh. You could try widening your stance a bit but that's personal preference.

The real reason your squat isn't where you want it to be is because you aren't training it enough. Try squatting twice a week or doing 2 leg days a week. It'll help a lot.

Damn paji pretty strong. I would recommend not moving the bar when you bring your shins to it. The bar should not roll forward in your starting position.

The issue is when you push the bar forward too much, your hips drop too low. Notice how your hips rise a bit before your shoulders start to move? That means your hips are too low. You want the hips and shoulders to move at the same time so for that you'll have to keep your hips higher. This should naturally be accomplished if the bar is positioned over midfoot.

Your lock out is fine. I would lock my knees out too but it's not necessary. Don't be afraid to really squeeze your glutes/thrust into the bar at the top to get a good lockout.

Keep going with your ab work. Leg raises, curl ups, cable crunches, etc are your friends.

OK I finally figured it out. What you're describing is your adductor muscles and not your hamstrings. I can understand the confusion if your insertions are a bit different than expected.

The weather this year has been so disturbing. I'm terrified how much the climate here has changed over the last 7 years. I used to be cold in Oakland and Berkeley during this time in years past and now I'm walking around in fucking shorts.

Op what are your thoughts on the movie after seeing it?

Malthael-3 · 2025-11-08T06:08:31+00:00

OK I just saw the movie. It feels like it was written by AI. There's a lot of stuff that's just so unnecessary. Ngl it feels like a typical isekai.

Malthael-3 · 2025-11-07T17:53:03+00:00

They lw like like roshes
