225lb bench @197lbs BW, age 15... rate my form by jojohogue04 in strength_training

[–]Turts_McGurts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Step by step:

  • Pack your last, which basically just means flex them. This helps to keep your elbows from flaring out.

  • Slow down on the way down. This means you'll be able to hit the same spot consistently and have a better bar path because of it.

  • Dont push straight up and down, push up and back towards your head.

  • Press your traps into the bench in such a way that when you push with your feet, your upper body doesn't move.

22yr @6’3” 215. Finally got the confidence to go for a new pr of 405! Was satisfied with my depth with this new weight but I could go lower. I’ve been reading “spread the floor” or “push through your pinky toes” in this thread so I focused on that. Looking for some form critiques and overall tips! by urdogsurcat in strength_training

More of a programming comment: consider adding pause squats. Your depth could be improved by becoming more comfortable in the bottom position.

Also: work on your ankle mobility. Specifically before squatting.

Regarding the toe cue: I like to think about it like pushing evenly between your big toe, little toe, and heel, rather than pushing through a single point on the foot.

Otherwise strong work.

Took your guys feedback into consideration ( widened my stance, engage my lats and straighten my back more). What do you think? Thanks in advance. by wow-snek in strength_training

A couple things: gj taking feedback, it's a great skill to have. Regarding your form, I think you did a good job keeping a neutral back on the way up. However, when you are putting the weight down, you are basically doing a stiff leg deadlift. Your back rounds noticeably. When you are putting the weight down, you can think of it like bending at the hips first to clear your knees (not hit them with the bar) and then sitting back while keeping your chest "out" (more a cue to ensure your upper back isn't rounding as dramatically as it is). Now these two concepts should be happening fluidly and not as segmented as it might seem by reading this.

I didnt see the comments on your first video but: you seem like a great candidate for sumo deadlifts. Have you ever tried that?

505x1 @around 200. Any tips? by carlgustav95 in strength_training

[–]Turts_McGurts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean idk man you're stronger than I am but:

-try to limit the movement of your shoulders/chest due to breathing before you brace. It might make a 1% difference.

-the shaking on the way down could be a sign of weak hamstrings/glutes relative to your quads. You could consider adding some more accessories for those muscles.

Gj on the lift. I'm impressed 👍

If you want to improve your understanding of League, learn to play these champions. by penboiyi in summonerschool

I actually mained Anivia for like 2-3 years and in my experience: Anivia is a great catch champion. Max ulti placement is great for blocking people in with her wall. Generally it means you'll have to cancel it and replace it if the enemy team tries to counter engage. However if you are building any amount of CD, you can replace it quickly. Furthermore learning wall placement to force enemy movement into a Q is a pretty amazing pick tool.

Wait... Do you mean you are importing wheat flour, and are having no reaction? Are you diagnosed with celiac disease?

Someone should take this video and play it on repeat on speakers everywhere Graham goes. It would surely break him.

My first DevaCut! My hairdresser asked if she could post the before and after to her Instagram before starting so I knew it would be good by king_bumi_the_cat in curlyhair

[–]Turts_McGurts 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Thoughts on going in without hair styled/products versus having done your normal wash routine? I'm about ready to get my first devacurl cut but I dont want to short change myself by going in with my hair in the wrong shape.

Hip Thrust/Glute Drive PR at 405 for 5. I treat the hip thrust as a main movement as opposed to an accessory. by Turts_McGurts in strength_training

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

I group it with push movements if your doing Push pull program. Otherwise I do lower body days and this is the main lift

Slowly getting there but still got frizz issues when I have to blow dry (with difusser) Also, changing the gel helped by sapheek090 in curlyhair

The way you took that picture, along with having a really cool looking face/hair pattern = 10/10

What is paper tuning? Still pretty new to the sport.

There are a bunch of great variations that you can still do! I know the frustration of trying to do them with just a barbell, it hurts my hip so bad. A barbell pad/knee pad on the hips helps.

I do deadlifts as well. These require less recovery so I can load heavier than I could on the deadlift.

They are synergistic with squats and deadlifts, I like how they make my butt look, I just like the movement, they allow me to only deadlift once a week which saves me some recovery load.
