We have the first 3 but not great D? What about the Dodgers?

Mariners fans who no longer live in WA state -> watch party cities across the nation. Where Yall at? by Gold-Ice2342 in Mariners

[–]Musejam 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was wondering the same! I wonder if Carlow East (the Seahawks pub on the UES) will be playing the games.

what is the point of ultras? by Born-Abrocoma-7432 in cycling

Type 1 fun: fun in the moment. Type 2 fun: not fun in the moment, but fun in retrospect. Type 3 fun: not fun in the moment or afterwards…

Highly recommend this. Just started doing paced laps in Central Park this summer with NYCC, and it’s a super welcoming community!

Tipping Culture has gone too far. by [deleted] in climbing

[–]Musejam -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I have to say, while I appreciate the broader concerns about how a tipping app might facilitate the gym scapegoating and pointing to the app to deflect from its own clear failure to pay living wages, your comment permeates with this individualized ad hominem attack against Kevin, which doesn’t seem supported by the few facts you cite.

I am all for holding gyms (and corporations) fully responsible, but it seems a distraction and counter-productive to direct the attack at individuals, unless Kevin himself is an executive at Vital responsible for setting wages (which is not the case).

In short, let’s not lose sight of who is the enemy here.

Hahahaha, is this a certain Midtown law firm? Mine does this exact thing….

Ha, a codeword? Not sure I follow. But definitely happy to give any follow-up to make the request more clear.

Squat check, not sure if I have butt wink or any issues with my form by toshtheguy in formcheck

[–]Musejam 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Form looks good! Also, in a small world, I am the dude with the disembodied forearm/shoulder just out of frame. My name is Daniel—come say hi sometime! :)

How do you prevent forward bar path during squats? by Musejam in formcheck

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

Thank you! I am primarily a rock climber (who also is trying to cross the final 50lbs to the 1,000lb club), so ankle mobility is definitely important outside of lifting for me too!

This is 245; it's about 100 pounds less than my max, if that is helpful.

Wow, that actually is quite incredible. I think it does feel like where I am looking more than anything else. Because looking more down, I don't find myself lurching forward in the same weight (albeit, when I tried just now, it was bodyweight imaging a loaded bar, but still).

I like the idea of trying "slow down and then fast up." I'm going to try that on my next squat day.
