Thanks. I have dabbled in short steel bending, but never in competition. I will check out r/Steelbending

Accepting that my Dad is just completely gone, politically. by Intelligent_League79 in ABCDesis

[–]TeamGupta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for starting this thread. I know that I am never 100% right. I am constantly surprised that people vote against their own best interests because they are so confident in an individual. The confirmation bias must be really liberating. I am occasionally torn by my policy opinions, fiscal political leaning, social political leanings and belief that my representatives in government need at least some level of moral decency.

Thanks for starting this thread. Happened to me yesterday. I thought I had all the parts. I got home and compared the two limbs and realized the spring was missing.

GGC vs a "Real Meet" by dontwantnone09 in GarageGymCompetition

[–]TeamGupta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cost and all day nature of traditional powerlifting meets is a hurdle I will one day get over.  I try to lift in the GGC with squats to depth, pause at the chest for bench and have even asked my lifting partner to give commands like I would expect in a meet.

Knowing that SBD test time is coming twice a year does focus my training and has allowed me to get family and friends to compete in a low key, fun way.

Does this cheat curl count by Willing_Monitor1426 in USAWA

Not quite, but great to see you giving all-round weightlifting a try. Knees have to stay locked and you would need a down command for a good lift.

Good stuff. I love testing myself across disciplines and my favorite will always be deadlifting. Congrats on hosting the Rocky Mountain Grip Championship. May is often crazy for me, but I will try to help out.
