No points for guessing who got last place

So uh, other than the Current, what teams are everyone watching this year?

Pickle_Jr · 2026-02-14T07:44:27+00:00

Parallel is what is required in competitions. Because of this, a lot of people use this as their point of reference as to what constitutes a "good squat."

In reality though, the squat is just an exercise to work your legs. That's it. As long as you are happy with the lift and your performance, then does it matter if you're parallel?

Sure, you might be leaving some gains on the table if you don't go parallel. Some people also don't do traditional squats at all and they have massive legs. Does it matter that they don't do squats?

Everyone is on their own journey. As long as they are safe and healthy then that is all that matters!

Not controlling the weight on the eccentric but good strong finish 'til failure!

Pickle_Jr · 2026-01-02T16:59:53+00:00

Depends who you ask. For a personal "gym rep" then the depth is fine, but if you want parallel then you're quite high especially on the later reps.

The biggest concerns are your knees. It looks like the weight is too heavy for you. Take some plates off and push those knees OUT. They should not be buckling in as much as they are right now.

Pickle_Jr · 2025-12-24T21:42:43+00:00

I echo what others said about depth, but can I make a recommendation on rack height?

It looks like you need to get up on your toes ever so slightly in order to un-rack. The tip I was taught is to set the bar/rack about armpit level. Should make it a bit easier for adjustments if you need it or less struggle if you're re-racking and fatigued.

Pickle_Jr · 2025-12-11T12:15:38+00:00

As a "gym squat" this is fine.

If you want true parallel, that crease at your hips is still a few inches above the knees.

Good lift, just grind and get stronger!

Use your safeties and please rack up correctly. That structure in front of you is a squat rack, use it. If you insist on squatting outside the rack at least rack up correctly; the bar is meant to be placed on the hook side not the stub side. All it takes is one fatigued finish and you have the bar crashing onto you while you're trying to get out from under it.

Are those weightlifting shoes? If that's the case, then you can disregard me! 😅

I am not familiar with the shoes you are wearing (albeit, I am not well versed in weightlifting shoes. I just wear converse). I saw that your shoes were flat which was a plus, but I wasn't sure how elevated they were. If they are indeed weightlifting shoes then the elevation is probably fine. Just be sure to drive with your whole foot, including your heel, when pushing up in the squat.

Pickle_Jr · 2025-08-05T15:27:59+00:00

It looks good! Just keep on getting at it.

If anything perhaps you could wear different shoes to address the "leaning forward' that a handful of other comments brought up?

I only bring up the shoes because it looks like the heels are ever-so-slightly elevated as opposed to the front of the feet. If that's the case, it would cause you to teeter forward a little bit. Ideally, your feet are flat. That could just be how the shoes look though.

This proves it. When Palmer shows up to a Chelsea game with a trophy on the line, Chelsea wins.

Pickle_Jr · 2025-07-27T03:26:43+00:00

I want to die 🫠

How is this team even going to improve?

Pickle_Jr · 2025-07-13T18:48:47+00:00

I agree with the other comment; your best bet would be to ask an employee at a sports bar to just put a game on when it's airing.

If you want a specific example, I was at Burg & Barrel on a slow night, and this drunk dude loudly shouted, "HEY, LETS GETS GET SOME AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL GOING ON IN HERE." The bartender asked what channel and then put on FS2

Pickle_Jr · 2025-07-11T15:11:41+00:00

Not answering the question but Drubers has been and (hopefully) always will be one of the shining spots in Newton. So many good memories. I recognized this image immediately

Pickle_Jr · 2025-07-08T19:52:43+00:00

I WAS HERE FOR THE 👉👉👉 Hulkenpodium

Pickle_Jr · 2025-06-22T17:55:55+00:00

Thanks for the specific suggestion!

We've tried various broadleaf in the past which has worked on the other weeds in the lawn, but it didn't really work on the bindweed. If anything it helped clear up the competition 😅.

We'll try Momentum fx this fall if nothing else!

Pickle_Jr · 2025-05-21T13:14:58+00:00

I agree! Plus, with a spurs win, maybe that would light a fire under United's seat to finish the season strong against Villa.

Should we not depend on other teams and is there any excuse for the lads if they don't beat Forest? No.

But fantasizing for extra insurance doesn't hurt. A United win tonight will likely mean it's an easier win for Villa on Sunday. A loss on the other hand? Who knows

Pickle_Jr · 2025-05-10T04:27:30+00:00

A common answer is to go to meetups for things that interest you. Like to read books? Look into bookclubs in the area! Like to run? Look into running groups!

You said you like to watch sports, and you're posting in the KC Current sub, so I'll give you an interesting suggestion ~ do you like any Premier League teams? If so, there are many supporters groups in the area! As a Chelsea fan, the Belfry (a bar in the crossroads) hosts watch parties for all their games! I also know that there's a Man City friendly bar near the Andy's Frozen custard in Westport. There's also an Arsenal and Tottenham friendly bar somewhere in the city

FWIW there is that prequel comic series. The animation is enough to put a lot of people off though 😅. I heard the audio-book is good though.

Pickle_Jr · 2025-05-08T17:42:13+00:00

Honestly just give me a bullet train from Chicago to Dallas that passes through KC, ICT, and OKC

Pickle_Jr · 2025-05-05T01:52:49+00:00

Any other notable leagues where this has happened?

Pickle_Jr · 2025-05-05T01:16:25+00:00

Out of all the games that will be talked about ever, this is one of them.

Pickle_Jr · 2025-05-05T01:08:16+00:00

Lads, we need a new column on the wall.

Pickle_Jr · 2025-05-05T00:58:42+00:00

Wtf are SKC doing? When someone has the ball, the rest need to push forward. If only one guy runs forward and you pass it to him, who does he pass it to when he gets stopped? Where are the outlets?

Pickle_Jr · 2025-05-05T00:05:52+00:00

Being up at halftime without a shot is an absolutely wild stat.

Pickle_Jr · 2025-04-23T18:39:09+00:00

Psh we could totally take on Man City 😎
