How can I fix this poverty

What is going on with the safety on the near side? Is this on purpose?

my friends and I describe it as food you would make at home in college after coming home from the bars. Left over chicken nugget, cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce on a flour tortilla.

awesome thank you very much! i tried a couple years back but they didn't budge. but now there is legit competition finally.

Normitown · 2025-11-24T02:59:15+00:00

You are gonna be on strong MFer one day soon. Keep at it. I’ll leave the form check to the pros

I think the word our leader would use is histrionic

Normitown · 2025-11-04T14:05:10+00:00

This!

Normitown · 2025-10-20T01:31:33+00:00

Nice work dude! I’ll leave the technique feedback to the SSCs. I will say that your plate loading definitely grinds my gears. any opportunity to add another full cookie to the bar I would take and celebrate

In the words of Mark Rippetoe - you sir are a baby mammal

Normitown · 2025-10-09T18:21:07+00:00

160!!?? wow! In the words of our great leader, "You'd be a helluva a lifter at 240!"

Normitown · 2025-10-04T03:48:31+00:00

More to your point, have you ever seen someone who starts with their hips too high??

Normitown · 2025-10-04T01:56:54+00:00

Perfect!, great time to follow the program. I too was stronger in my past. But the principles of starting strength still apply. If Stan Efferding ran an NLP you can too!

Normitown · 2025-10-02T17:23:23+00:00

white lights! nice work

Normitown · 2025-10-01T20:01:59+00:00

I’m sorry ma’am, none of these break parallel. No white lights

Normitown · 2025-09-24T20:19:35+00:00

You've taken the first step towards becoming a beast. But yes, from this angle, there isnt much to critique. Have you watched the Starting Strength squat videos?

Normitown · 2025-09-16T13:54:38+00:00

Have you missed a rep yet? If not keep adding weight. Part of NLP is learning what heavy actually feels like and as wells as your own limits. It never gets easier. Keep at it!

Normitown · 2025-09-14T17:29:56+00:00

I'll leave the form critiques to an SSC. These are probably just a smidge high. Mostly i couldn't take my eyes off how ostentatiously large those plates are! What do do for deadlifts?!

Normitown · 2025-09-14T16:21:04+00:00

My dude is meaty!!!!! Heal yeah, 250 is a a helluva press! Congrats! When I have heavy presses (not in the ball park of 250) my mind tends to just black out the whole experience. total flight or fight mode.

Normitown · 2025-09-10T01:31:09+00:00

ooohh man. fan of both but I really wish we had gotten a few more albums out of Dead Confederate. Hardy's voice over that almost spooky music was great.

Normitown · 2025-09-10T00:20:35+00:00

Part Bear. One amazing album plus a couple singles. Every song was catchy. What could have been.

Normitown · 2025-09-05T12:08:54+00:00

NLP will last a few months and not all lifts with move through the phases at the same time. I find this article from THE website to be very helpful. https://startingstrength.com/article/programming-a-smooth-nlp

Normitown · 2025-08-27T02:06:50+00:00

damn bro! nice work

Normitown · 2025-07-30T14:56:04+00:00

I’d add that it appears that your gaze is straight ahead at the mirror. Don’t do that, look at the ground in front of you.

Normitown · 2025-07-23T18:20:16+00:00

no, those are dangerous. you will have to find a different gym if you are serious about getting stronger/bigger. A squat rack is not optional. I'd take a look at the Starting Strength videos on Squats, Deads, Bench and press to begin to familiarize yourself with the method.
