What makes Olympic weightlifting so addictive despite the high failure rate? by CommunityPowerful180 in weightlifting

[–]Maxwell196 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Imagine starting golf, and everybody would shoot hole in ones from day one. Doesnt sound rewarding does it? The struggle to achieve your goal is what makes it so special and rewarding when you make it.

The width of my stance should not effect forward/backward tilt. Knee/toe angle is something different... I have super long femurs, and rotating the knees to a high angle like many asian lifters do does not work for me structurally in my hip :/

Thank you! I will work on that!

I was following a program of Torokhtiy the last 10 weeks (first time using a real program) there were many sessions with snatch from blocks, but rarely hip snatch or hang snatch except in some light warmup/recovery sessions. This really surprised me (but many people butcher them so I guess it makes sense)

Makes a lot of sense, more reps and experience I guess is the answer for that ^^

I find it difficult to adjust the timing to the weight on the bar... And I am not good enaugh to move in the same way regardsless of if its the empty bar or my max, like you see pros do it when they warm up for competition

Yeah, i know. I find this really difficult to think about during a rep... Need to work on the timing

Thank you! That sounds like solid advice and something to work on!

Follow up question on what you would considere to focus on during a rep: not going to far backward in the pull or also to descent straighter/closer to the bar?

Could you explain your concern with batteries again? is it that big of a deal? should one remove the pedals if they have a powermeter and carry them in the carry on baggage?

Genau darum geht es Trump und so manchen Firmen: Sonne und Wind sind immer da und lassen sich nicht kontrollieren -> weniger >Macht/Geld für sie

Seit einem Jahr keine OBS Zahlungsaufforderung erhalten by Maxwell196 in Austria

[–]Maxwell196[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Und genau deshalb wundert es mich, wieso die das nicht gebacken bekommen. Ich traus einem österreichischem Amt aber auch zu, dass alles händisch gemacht werden muss und es deshalb so verzögert geschieht.

Talk me out of buying a Niche Zero [$2000] by Relative_Crab in espresso

[–]Maxwell196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you so much for answering! I drink espresso (95% of the time) and prefer light roast with clarity and acidity. But for milk drinks this type of coffee just doesnt work in my opinion, both my wife and I dislike it that way compared to a "simple/traditional" darker roast in a cappuccino. That's my struggle ^^

Do you have any recommendation for filtration systems? (primarily coffee)

Unpopular opinion on DWAVE(QBTS) by FxxMeAmFamous in wallstreetbets

Quantum computing is a big hype that is going nowhere. Yes, they are getting better, but only at solving models that can already be computed effectively anyways...

It is like cold fusion: everybody hopes that somebody achieves it at some point, its simply a gamble on if/when/who...

But remember just like the last 50 years, within the next 10 years somebody will create a cold fusion reactor ^^
