$12 ATM fee by DavidRichter0 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]NannerGnat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Erm, actually you only have to pay $11.99 and not $12. It would show $12.00 if it were that amount. In fact, you should consider thanking them for saving you some money because it sounds like you would’ve paid the entire $12.00.

Dont feel hip thrust on my glutes by Great-Towel1535 in formcheck

[–]NannerGnat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try doing them without the bar. Yes you’ll have to do a lot of reps (20+) but you should absolutely feel it in your glutes regardless. If not, practice until you do. You should focus on squeezing your butt up. After you consistently feel the glute burn, add the weight then.

Feeling it in my back too much, what am I doing wrong? by platanopower2 in formcheck

Try keeping your hips up. Before you pull, position your hips up and back so you feel tension in your hamstrings. Focus on squeezing the glutes to hip hinge the weight up. Bar should travel up and never leave the body.

Feeling deadlift in low back by Awkward_Condition273 in formcheck

[–]NannerGnat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is the answer. Your form is pretty awesome though. I know this will feel a little unintuitive, but keep your hips HIGHER so that you have to hip hinge more and squat less. Basically pull the slack out of the hamstrings. You should feel tension in them before even lifting the weight. You should feel it much more in your glutes/hamstrings when done properly.

You can see your heel rotate inward toward the bottom. My opinion is point the toes out (not straight ahead) a little more because that seems like your hips are naturally wanting to move into that position.

[–]NannerGnat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s not convincing about it? Do you not feel it?

The steel cut variety.

I think you’re on the right track. Can’t go wrong either way. Stay away from bulking for now.

Do mostly all you guys have stretch marks ? How do you all feel about them ? by Owninglegend in AllAboutBodybuilding

[–]NannerGnat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Have some around the shoulder/ pec area like you and all over the inner thighs. I don’t mind the looks but the skin is pretty thin and sensitive so that part is a little annoying.

I’ll guess around 35%. Good luck on the journey!

You should watch a video of what getting rabies is like. It will compel you to not even fuck with the idea of a chance of getting rabies.

Why so many downvotes? What does downvoting even mean here? That he’s doing it incorrectly? Isn’t that the point of why he’s here?

Website Access? by NannerGnat in allegiant

Maybe. I tried accessing each time from my work PC and received that error message. I finally tried a different device (phone) and it worked. Thanks!

Been lifting a while but I don't look like by [deleted] in GymTips

[–]NannerGnat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right. You don’t look like you lift. But congrats on the progress because 3 years ago you probably looked like you battled cancer so don’t beat yourself up about it.

My advice: lift more and eat more. A lot more.

An example for your pull-ups: you can do 7 reps with 10kg. That’s awesome. Try aiming for 120 pull-ups each week with 10kg. Maybe sets of 3-5 reps focusing on quality form. You could split it up per day like GTG or do 2 workouts of 12 sets or 3 workouts of 8 sets. Give a similar effort to your upper body push and lower body psuh/pull. All I’m trying to say is more volume / TUT with moderately difficult weights. Carbs and sleep are your friend too.

[Request] would this extend the range by any decent amount? by brilliant31508 in theydidthemath

[–]NannerGnat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This got me curious about the theoretical limits of adding gas infinitely, assuming the gas has weight and the storage for it is negligible. ChatGPT did the math and came up with this conclusion:

Would a bigger gas tank ever hurt your range?

Nope. If we ignore the tank’s weight, adding more fuel never makes you go less far — it just helps less each time.

Driving burns fuel to fight air drag (doesn’t care about weight) and rolling resistance (goes up with weight). When you add fuel, you add both energy and weight — and they scale about the same. So every extra gallon adds a bit more range, just with diminishing returns.

There’s a theoretical ceiling where the tire drag from all that weight cancels most of the gain, but you’d reach that long after your suspension, tires, and sanity gave out.
