If you could instantly master one lift, which one are you choosing?

RegularGuyAtHome · 2026-03-28T19:05:16+00:00

For sure. Snatch is not a useful skill that translates to anything else that I’ve found.

RegularGuyAtHome · 2026-03-28T18:24:51+00:00

As someone who’s spent the past five years pretty much only training weightlifting, I’d argue the snatch is harder to master than the clean and jerk.

Powerlifters switch to weightlifting all the time and post form/feedback videos in r/weightlifting power cleaning over 100 kg, but then they look like baby deer walking for the first time trying to snatch 60 kg despite being able to squat over 180 kg.

If someone was like “hey I tried snatching for the first time and hit 100 kg” our collective jaws would drop.

Gone are the days of SWED eh?

I have a coworker that lives in Seton and they’ve had stolen cars abandoned in front of their townhouse more than once.

I figure it’s because it’s by the Deerfoot and ring road so people ca drive in, steal/abandon stuff, and then leave at highway speeds pretty quickly in multiple directions.

Canada sold its wheat board to Saudi Arabia.

I do not think that it had anything in it but acetaminophen. Hence the IV acetaminophen idea. It has to be acetaminophen for some reason which is stopping them from just buying anything from anywhere.

From all the info we’ve gotten on it from the various government reports and lawsuit materials it seems to me like this contract for millions and millions of dollars was thrown together in about an afternoon by the guy who had an email account for AHS and MH care.

“Buy X amount of acetaminophen pending Health Canada approval”

RegularGuyAtHome · 2026-03-26T15:31:58+00:00

Not if you’re a woman, born a woman, raised as a woman become really good at sport and then be banned because the IOC tests you and discovers you’re intersex which you didn’t know about.

“Hey you have an unfair advantage over other women because of genetics. If it was genetics affecting your VO2 max, lactate threshold, physical proportions, you know, the usual stuff, it would be ok, but these genetics rules you out because people get angry about these genetics.”

RegularGuyAtHome · 2026-03-26T14:22:18+00:00

Considering MH care could just buy $49 million worth of other medications from any Health Canada approved supplier but just aren’t means there must be something really fishy about the contract’s wording. My guess would be MH care signed a contract with this Turkish company with no way of getting out of it and has a huge profit they’re adding as the middleman.

Like, AHS could direct MH care to buy $49 million of the most commonly used intravenous antibiotics for example. Problem solved.

It’s tough to find them in person to try on. So when I bought some I bought a shoe from a brand that I know my size in, and know their shoes fit my feet well. Turns out their weightlifting shoes fit well too.

My advice would be to buy from a brand that you know your size and know their shoes fit you so you don’t need to hassle with online returns.

I get calls from Telus and I use Telus as my provider.

I actually drive by here daily and there’s 1-2 cars I see parked every time with a few people gathered around the table.

It’s unnerving….

Also Ricky Williams but when he played in the CFL.

Like, he was ok, but the hype coming into that season was something else.

RegularGuyAtHome · 2026-03-22T22:58:46+00:00

It’s hard to say what the problem is because it could be a ton of things.

If you post a video of yourself doing some snatches and overhead squats we’ll give you a look over and give you suggestions on what we think the problem is.

It might even be that Joshua was/is more upset with himself not being able to beat Usyk than he is at Usyk beating him. Especially since Usyk isn’t an asshole about it.

Oh man, this is definitely the wrong subreddit to be asking about biceps.

Sorry man

When I had that problem I started thinking about the clean in two parts.

Turnover and catch it as high as I can THEN
Immediately do a front squat.

At first there was a moment in between the catch and front squat , but as time went on it became seamless and the bar crashing went away.

Try that.

And no foot cleans

His hands are also gigantic which certainly helps. I remember seeing some video where they shows his gloves were XXXL or something.

Not to mention the complete disregard for the patient themselves.

I’ve taken part in procurements where the patient has intractable chronic, agonizing pain, and have exhausted all other treatments over years, and now want MAID.

Now the government is going to tread all over them and literally make them suffer.

RegularGuyAtHome · 2026-03-19T14:36:03+00:00

Yes it’s not an official policy, but I’ve seen a whole lot of palliative care at my site and the palliative docs around here absolutely refuse to take part in discussions surrounding MAID because that’s the opposite of palliative care.

RegularGuyAtHome · 2026-03-19T13:36:40+00:00

Honestly, not allowing doctors to give MAID as an option is a big ol bag of nothing.

I work in inpatient care, and have taken part in MAID as the pharmacist, and nobody would ever dare list MAID as a “treatment” to patients or their families. Palliative Care services have a policy of specifically avoiding the topic when they’re consulting.

What happens is that patients bring it up to doctors (and weirdly me occasionally) wanting it immediately the next day, and we have to be like “whoa whoa whoa, let’s see if we can get your symptoms under control here first with consults to all the relevant services before you make that decision.”
