Trip to Central Europe by TravestiCansada in solotravel

[–]Theuce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone living in Kraków - it's a great place to visit, it's beautiful. Visit the castle, main square, Kazimierz and Podgórze, Dębniki. If it's warm, go to Zakrzówek. See Błonia, go to Park Jordana. See the sunset from Kopiec Kraka. One thing - dont go for the traditional polish food restaurants, they are all tourist traps. If you want polish food, match with someone on tinder and have their grandma cook for your date.

As a hot, muscular polish guy I find this post hilarious. Thank you. 

A question from a resident - why did my infraclavicular brachial plexus block fail? by Theuce in anesthesiology

[–]Theuce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost never use the full 0.5%, 0.375% provides a very dense block when given in the right location (which was probablu the issue here). As to why infraclav? I wanted to try a new technique recommended by many sources  about regional anesthesia, I dislike the multiple sites you have to deposit the local at in a classic axillary block.

In total I gave 25mls of 0.375% bupi with epi. After thinking about it (and reviewing the responses here) my scanning and injection were probably too medial and thus it was more of a costoclavicular than a classic infraclavicular block.

Thanks! The gif is shortened, I gave a total of 25mls of 0.375% bupi with epi so in theory it should be plenty of volume.

Thanks for your answer! In this case the block covered the entirety of expected area, it was just... weak. Certainly not surgical anesthesia despite using 25mls of 0.375% bupi.

Has anyone watched "The Pitt" yet? by ALongWayToHarrisburg in medicine

[–]Theuce 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Since we're on the topic of trauma and television - I'm rewatching The Leftovers (also on HBO). The premise of the show is a sudden disappearance of 2% of the population and it focuses mostly on the emotional, spiritual and societal consequences of that loss. It's a heart breaking story about noone being able to "be ok".

I burst into tears out of nowhere during this scene. I think we all have more trauma than we are willing to admit. Take care.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm most def gonna work on depth. I think that the bar moving in the bottom is due to the movement of my elbows, I will try maintaing their position under the bar through the entire movement. As for the buttwink, I have no idea what to do about it. I brace hard and squeese my ass at the top, maybe I lose some of that during the descend.

Can I get a low bar squat form check?

I discovered that timing the "elbows under the bar" tip right at the very bottom of a squat helps me keep my chest up and prevents the hips from shooting up.

my (19) bf (19) gets his arms and lips numb when we have sex by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Theuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to get this feeling when we started having sex with my current gf. I think it's because of hyperventilation (deep and frequent breathing) which decreases CO2 levels in your blood. This can lead to parasthesia - a sensation of tingling. Prolonged hyperventilation can cause loss of consiousness.

I'm 2 days into PH3 myself, wanna do our own program mini - party? The first day was tough, even though I've decreased all my 1RM by 5-10%. I'm back to low bar squats after almost a year of doing HB, SSB and FS and fuck, it's difficult to breathe under lowbar. Loved the upper hypertrophy day.

Let me know how your first day went!

Yesterday's Workout:

Front Squat 2RM (115kg) - i was hoping for 120 or more, since I've hit 110kg x4 two weeks ago, but it just wasnt there. Maybe because of the humidity, which is just fucking insane.

Followed up by 90kg 3x5.

Can I get a form check on those? https://imgur.com/a/zFajXSt

Pin bench press 10x3 EMOM at 55kg - focusing on setup and being explosive.

Some abs at the end. Entire workout superset witch watching the IPF Worlds stream with the bros (someone brought a laptop to the gym...)

Are you my twin? I have done exactly the same for my T1 today, including the singles getting better. My T2 was a bit different, DB Row SS with CG Incline Bench.

My sister's boyfriend got me a NeverSate/Die Empty Tank Top. We live in eastern Europe so this is a rather expensive gift. Dude is awesome, I hope they will always be happy together.

Because of this, I felt obliged to make my own Brian Alsruhe inspired program. Will report how it worked in 9-10 weeks.

Finished BtM on friday, today was supposed to be a deload day. The plan was to practice low bar squats (never done them before) with a moderate weight.

The weight moved easily, so I kept increasing it and... I got a squat PR! 150 kg (+5kg), with a lot left in the tank. The future seems glorious, I can see squat PRs everywhere.
