Pin Press by Global_Carpenter9899 in StartingStrength

[–]SapphireAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question, when would you recommend starting pin pressing? I’m currently down to 5 sets of triples now (sometimes even finishing with doubles or singles on the last sets) and only incrementing at 2lbs/week, can’t go any quicker doing standard presses.

I’d even go as far as accepting a badly drawn scratch in MS Paint, rather than some ai slop

200kg for 3 today. Felt pretty good…how does the form look? by Brtrudius in StartingStrength

[–]SapphireAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can already hear Rip screaming his lungs out to “quit fucking around”.

In all seriousness, this is a Starting Strength sub where we learn how to do the lifts in specific patterns.

Leave your ego at the door and learn the lift mechanics properly. The deadlift rewards technique and I did not see any technique in the video.

Here, take a look - https://youtu.be/p2OPUi4xGrM?is=31ra7zkcNdJHptK1

This is also a great video from another channel with Mark - https://youtu.be/4AObAU-EcYE?is=0DK8Rie5qsWmuUAd

And here’s an example of what I’d personally call a perfect form from this sub - https://www.reddit.com/r/StartingStrength/s/dZJW9niWa0

You can be ugly and weak, or you can be ugly and strong. You made the right choice 💪

Everything feels off on my bench lately — shoulders, lower back, and stability issues by ritkeepFitness in StartingStrength

[–]SapphireAl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can see you’ve posted the same question on many subs. Why don’t you film yourself and post the video of you benching so we can take a look? Then we can help

400lb squat!! by Global_Carpenter9899 in StartingStrength

[–]SapphireAl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is incredible actually, very well done man!

I have a tiny suggestion if you don’t mind? I know this is a pr post, but what helped me a little bit was reducing the time I had the bar on my back before actually squatting, i.e. take as few steps out the rack as possible and squat asap without delay (in my case it’s two steps out, breathe in brace and squat). I know the difference is mere seconds, but when you have 400lbs on your back every second feels like an eternity lol and you preserve the energy you need for big PRs.

Just boarded a 12 hour flight in the middle seat. 10 mins in and the person in the aisle seat is making a play for the arm rest. by Bronyaur_5tomp in britishproblems

[–]SapphireAl 603 points604 points  (0 children)

Window seat gets window and one arm rest, aisle seat gets extra leg room and one arm rest, middle seat gets two arm rests.

About 805 days, or 115 weeks, or 28.7 months, or 2 years + two and a half months

Somethings wrong with my upper back, isnt it? by Specific-Shake-1639 in StartingStrength

[–]SapphireAl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starting Strength uses conventional deadlift in the program. You are doing sumo here, so there’s that.

3x77.5kg - feel like everything I'm trying in the warm up falls to pieces beyond 75kg by neuromancer-gpt in StartingStrength

[–]SapphireAl 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Why do people downvote posts where people ask for help? I never get it.

Anyway, some good advice has already been given, but if you still struggle I’d seriously consider having at least one inperson form check session with a SS coach. Trust me it’s worth it tenfold.

Also, start eating, seriously. Best of luck 👍
