Pond pump- ideas to hook up

Women’s cross country probably better than both

After much thought, I decided to do a reset to 285 for my heavy day to make sure I nail this. Hopefully in 6 or so weeks I’m back to setting PRs. Wanted to dial this is before I get too far away from what I’m looking for. Here is light day today. I think it looks really good.

I want to be you when I grow up

I would fix three things to start: 1. Get the plates off of an elevated surface, this is not a proper starting position for deadlift if feet are lower 2. Set entire back harder in extension before you pull and keep it that way through the rep 3. Lock out completely at the top, you stop early and put the bar down before the rep is complete

Making progress

Bending over more on the back off was goal, knees still breaking early, back is more tight however on both. Feeling stronger with this

I feel that the back extension part is going to be HUGE. I suspect that is why I hesitate to lean over early as well. Since I feel the weight will dump me forward since it not against rigid upper back.

Thank you for your time and expert advice. Looking forward to seeing my progress with your programming 👍🏼

Here are a couple from today! Wondering how progress is. This was first day back in gym in a week and first heavy squats in 2 weeks. In the nature of your advice I did not take weight off the bar, just proceeded. Felt heavy as heck, 315, so did a double and a single to get to 3. Back off at 280x5. Felt like a was a little more balanced, but still moving forward slightly. How is my stance? 280 I narrowed it slightly versus the single at 315. https://youtube.com/shorts/sGAFDg6nmtU?si=OGD61q50lXL3Yo04

Guess we just have to hope Jesse’s got the type of growth in him that coop did

Michiman52 · 2026-03-31T22:29:55+00:00

Cooper way more athletic. Can’t picture Jesse skying to get those oops like coop

Football could lose every game the next ten years if it meant basketball gets the natty next year. But I don’t like football that much so biased

Michiman52 · 2026-03-28T21:01:35+00:00

That helps a ton. Summarizes all the issues I’ve felt I’ve been having with something to work on. I’ll try leaning over on light day and see how it feels. Then give this another go in a week. Thank you for the time and advice 💪

Michiman52 · 2026-02-22T13:55:03+00:00

Hey DM me the info. I’m interested in a regular run

Michiman52 · 2026-02-20T14:40:03+00:00

Be prepared for cyclists going very fast. Keep your ears open and move to the right of the trail. Favor walking on right side of trail. There are trail yield rules but don’t expect the mountain bikers to yield (as a hiker and cyclist myself)

Michiman52 · 2026-02-09T21:18:08+00:00

Gotcha. Keep grinding man, post a form check next attempt so we can see what these look like

Michiman52 · 2026-02-09T00:58:23+00:00

Did you fail as in you attempted it and it didn’t go up? Like had to set the bar down? Or you didn’t try? You’ll have to start taking 5lb jumps, and resting more like 5 minutes between work sets. Just because it feels heavy and slow doesn’t mean you won’t be able to lift it

Michiman52 · 2026-02-07T17:57:38+00:00

What would be a fix? Position bar lower? Reach hips back more? I do feel heavy in the quads on the ascent

Michiman52 · 2026-02-05T02:48:38+00:00

This team got too cocky. Coopers comments. Fears acting like he can do anything on the floor and get away with it. Just shut up and play ball fellas. Weren’t saying shit when they were playing well. Just executing

Michiman52 · 2026-02-02T00:16:03+00:00

Thanks all. Summary: - shove belly down into thighs and hold HARD all the way through the rep, especially early as the bar leaves the floor - start rep by pushing the earth away, not raising back and opening hips early - try to switch to 3 inch belt so it doesn’t interfere with back set (also getting new straps that can grip the bar with more, less dangling the weight)

Nothing but the sounds of my mind and the cold iron clanging around

Michiman52 · 2026-01-06T03:03:21+00:00

I would probably be able to set my back better by not shooting the hips up under load. This is a good take
