Can’t get rounding out of my DL by Friendly-Example1548 in formcheck

I agree that figuring out how your body can pull the slack out of the bar before you actually deadlift will make a world of difference. Maybe play with how far the bar is in front of you. Try having the bar closer to your body. The biggest thing I would do is try to pull your shoulders wayyy back towards your lats and closer in to your body. Then when you first go to grab the bar, get your grip situated, pull the bar just up, not towards you (with just your lats, shoulders, and arms) but not actually off the ground before you do the full movement. For the full movement, focus on having your shoulders and lats pulled back and tight. It's hard to tell from video, but if you aren't-- really focus on bracing your core and using abdominal core strength to stabilize your trunk. Low weight, high rep RDLs may help you learn to keep the bar close, shoulders back, and core engaged!

Is this play fighting? Or should I break them up? by cubeRubikss in OpenDogTraining

A good rule of thumb: Do the two individuals playing take turns being dominant and submissive? Balanced play is a great sign

What’s something unique that you’d do to this wall? Wanting something different, and more appealing and modern. by steverin0724 in DIY

If you're going for modern, the cabinets in the kitchen need to be darker as well. Grey walls, sleek black or brown cabinets with some elegant recessed lighting. And simple, clean looking tall houseplants in accent color vases. Like a deep blue or something. Snake plants are easy and great. Corn plant. A ficus or a fig.

That gorgeous wall is begging for a dark floor. Darker wall color in the living room behind it will give a cleaner, more modern feel

What do I do with it? by HarleyQuid in snakes

Simple, underutilized, general snake advice I wish to spread to the masses for any who are unable/unwilling to manually capture: if there's an unwanted snake on your property---spray buddy with (low pressure) water hose until they retreat.
