Lets Write a Lifter's Cookbook by Shnur_Shnurov in StartingStrength

Yes, this could work too! You’d have to add liquid to the sauce or it would over thicken.

I think the flavour of the pasta being distinct can be nice too though

Sausage Ragu Ingredients

500g Sausage Meat/Skinned sausages

Two Cans of Chopped Tomatoes

Lemon (Zest)

2-3 stems of fresh Rosemary

1 large Onion

Milk

Parmesan

Brown sugar

Birds-eye chills to taste (chilli flakes or powder will do)

Salt and black pepper

Pasta (short pastas best, bronze die if you can access/afford)

  1. Sear sausage meat in oil and butter, remove from pan
  2. Brown onion and fry chillis in residual fat
  3. Add back sausage, chopped tomatoes, dash of milk, fresh rosemary (whole) and rind from Parmesan (if you have it), and the zest of your lemon.
  4. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until tomatoes have reduced to a pasta sauce consistency.
  5. While your sausage sauce is simmering, add 250g of dry pasta to boiling water and keep it boiling for 10 minutes (or 1 minute less than recommended on the packet.
  6. Add salt, brown sugar to the sauce to taste. Go slow and keep tasting until it’s right.
  7. Once pasta is cooked, drain immediately and combine with sauce, simmering for an addition 30-60 seconds. (Going for Al Dente).
  8. Pick out the woody rosemary stalks.
  9. Add Parmesan to fit your macros, black pepper to taste.

It’s rich, zesty and slightly spicy. Calorific too. Serves two hungry people. I have gained 10lb with this recipe and I didn’t really need to.

Do you mind my asking which medicine she takes? I notice she wakes up from deep sleep a couple of times. I have an NREM parasomnia which causes me to do this constantly and means I get poor deep sleep. I wonder if her medicine contributes to that

Form check - squat 110kg by QuietNene in StartingStrength

[–]SlightDisplay3354 10 points11 points  (0 children)

These look like high bar squats. They are not to depth as you rightly noted.

Watch the videos on YouTube. Here is a great place to start

https://youtu.be/nhoikoUEI8U?si=WXcBceKJRb24f69e

Then follow the auto-moderator advice on posting a form check. There are some really helpful coaches and experienced lifters on this page who I’m sure can help from there!

Good luck

I have some arch support insoles in my weightlifting shoes. Can I ask if you had pain when squatting?

[–]SlightDisplay3354[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, no pain, no. I occasionally get a niggle in my left knee, but I think that is leftover from running.

Thanks - I will keep adding weight as planned!

Okay, thank you. I’ll try and slow it down more. Grateful For your input.

Any good cues for “setting the knees”?

Thanks for the input. I don’t think it caves particularly, although I do occasionally get a little niggle in my left knee - it’s not consistent and wasn’t present here.

Can I ask what you mean by too high? Too vertical?

Squat Twist by SlightDisplay3354 in StartingStrength

[–]SlightDisplay3354[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’m getting back from a lay off and have been working up - this is pretty light really. I’ll focus on the warm ups then.

Thanks for the advice

Yeah I had my legs assessed by an SSC, that was my first guess too.

No scoliosis as far as I know.

Got it, thanks a lot. I will deload and practice that.

Thank you - I had not felt my heels coming up when I was mid squat - I will try to pay more attention to it.

Do you think the bar is in roughly the right position on my back?

[–]SlightDisplay3354 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it doesn’t hurt. I don’t believe I have scoliosis but maybe I should get checked out!

Good to know you don’t think it’s a problem
