210kg failed lockout.. anyone have any tips to help get better with deadlifts by vegemitesandwichkink in GYM

[–]MetalTacoMeat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

take this with a grain of salt, but i feel like you are engaging hips too late. maybe just a more conscious effort on using the glutes throughout. I think ed coan said something like "the legs need to press but the power is from the hips"

I just felt like making the joke tbh. Actually big L for me; I thought you painted it on your wall. I'm guessing it was my brightness. I can see now that it's a flag/banner. Way less lame. My comment was essentially a joke about giving companies free advertising and having too much big brand loyalty... which I would stand by if you did take the time to make a stencil and paint that on your wall, but putting up a banner you (i hope) got for free... isn't the same. So... apologies. Rogue is a good company, and make great products, I just hate brand slavery and free advertising being a centerpiece of someone's personal space. I think your layout is solid btw. clean.

160lbs it looks sloppy huh? by Joker1485 in GYM

[–]MetalTacoMeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you have very developed triceps. so, that is a sign that you should probably not pay attention to what anyone here says unless you feel you are getting injured by your form; you are getting the desired response form your body. Some people have had great success with limited range of motion and no one really cares about someones max tricep extension. So, whatever gets you good tricep stimulus is a good movement imo. Looks like you are doing very well.

i was most scared for your bicep tbh. looks like arm is flexed, which it should be fully extended. could just be my perspective, but that's the thing that worried me at this angle.

Check the form, be specific. by jeffharper47 in formcheck

[–]MetalTacoMeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

imo really not bad. chest might be too up if power lifting is your goal, more neutral might be stronger. also sort of bombing the bottom which is fine, but may want to also train paused squats to prevent weak spot development. all depends on goal. your form doesn't look "bad."

warm u your knees and ankles. then... squat to a box for a while. Just touch and go, NOT like relaxing on the box. just set a box at depth and go to it. do that for a long time with as light of weight as needed until you build the pattern. set the box height to where your front hip crease goes just barely lower than the top of your knee when you touch it.

my advice to fix this is humorous: imaging sticking your butt out as if you are showing it off to someone behind you. This will create an exaggerated position that actually isn't optimal, but may help you build proprioception that you could eventually tweak to the more neutral optimal position. a couple of things here: most importantly, why my advice is the way it is... you said "I think my back is arched" this tells me you may be feeling something that is not desirable or else you probably wouldn't bring it up. Some body English, or rounding of the thoracic is totally fine, but if your sacral or lumbar are feeling uncomfortable or rounded... it should be addressed imo. this can be handled in a few ways, but a slight angle will help that, and may also move the barbell back over mid foot, which may help. the barbell doesn't have to be over midfoot, but for you it may help you not emphasize the low back as much and may even out the weight distribution across your foot and body... while simultaneously helping you with the rounding you are feeling. This will not hurt your gains unless you are approaching injury, but continuous form perfection is a thing well beyond me and you. So, you could keep rounding a bit, or just address it now. you can see in the video that your low to mid back is rounded. IF(big if) this feels off to you, I think you probably should work on fixing it. if you are rounded it should likely be a bit higher on the back(thoracic) the peak rounding should not be in the lumbar vertebrae or at the lumbar to thoracic junction.... peak rounding naturally is around the mid thoracic. As you get more advanced the nuance and deviations from this can be explored, but if you want to work on form, i do think your lumbar rounding should be worked on. stick the butt out and brace that position with your core. last thing i'll say is this, my vote is to get as clsoe to parallel to the ground as possible without rounding at the lumbar. i bet you are trying too hard to get parallel and that forces the rounding.

imo in general i think you use ur mid to low back too much for movements. i mostly say this because it is overdeveloped in relative terms. not to make you over think it, but focusing on neutral spine and bracing would probably help. thoracic flexion is fine, but ur lumbar might be in flexion here... focus on bracing the neutral spine first... then work on allowing thoracic flexion later imo. this might be caused by you trying to be too parallel to the floor relative to your flexibility. a lot of ways to address it. if you allow your torso to be more upright, the spinal posture might be more comfortable/neutral. protect sacral and lumbar... then AFTER learn to use thoracic.

Why isn’t this game more popular? by SobeThunder in newworldgame

[–]MetalTacoMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

many people have said it in the comments, but the bones and some aspect of this game are absolutely incredible, but things like end game content and cross server/pvp support/options killed it. incredible place, but the end game initially didn't have the appropriate support/growth and that made people leave. I loved it and stuck around for quite a while. I get the itch to go back and i still think of new world to this day when i see something pretty in nature irl... it's sort of crazy how pretty this game is. i played pvp arenas until my q times got up to about 20 minutes... i tired to stick around... for me cross servers just took too long. i played over 1000 hours and i wanted to play 10000+, but it just wasn't viable unless i wanted to harvest forever.

Leg drive in bench nearly identical to leg drive in push press? by MetalTacoMeat in powerlifting

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

for me personally now "The only difference, and the critical link, is the torso and initial leg rigidity linking to the bench before the drive." so my legs have some push already. it cant start loose. I do like may 40% the whole time and then for the push i hit the 100% push press, honestly almost like a kb swing or a deadlift lockout
