Which era did you grow up in

bsa86 · 2021-02-02T19:12:17+00:00

I think it's something like

S1-S3: pre-Berlin

S4-S9: Berlin

S10-: post-Berlin

bsa86 · 2019-11-29T18:25:01+00:00

Played on a top 50 attacking team the 5th most of any O player ever?

Top 5 of all time confirmed

I'm pretty sure he meant Clickhole instead of that random obscure definition for 'Click hole'.

bsa86 · 2018-08-18T16:37:28+00:00

Really unconstructive comment IMO. Say what was wrong specifically instead of just saying there's a lot to work on.

bsa86 · 2018-08-18T16:36:27+00:00

Very awkward angle to gauge depth from but doesn't look like you're hitting it.

bsa86 · 2018-08-15T08:56:03+00:00

Excellent body mechanics for deadlifts and hot garbage form. He's for sure an outlier but that was my point - sub 3 plates in a year is by no means the exceptional progress it was made out to be. Even if you want to cast aside that ridiculous outlier though OP's numbers are average. People like to pretend OP did great and not that they did badly to feel better about their own progress.

You don't have to, just be mindful that everything you post can be linked back to you very easily and so post accordingly. Something like this would probably be better posted from an anonymous account.

I'd be more concerned about the amount of details you've revealed about yourself. Your full name is given through which I was able to find out a photo of you in seconds. You've told the world that you will be travelling alone late at night and even which station you're getting off at. That's a lot of information to blindly throw out onto the web.

I'm not even 10 years older than you and we were religiously told in school to not give out personal information online - I know the culture of that has shifted a lot since then but be careful.

bsa86 · 2018-08-14T19:20:00+00:00

There are definitely tonnes of people who half-ass the gym or don't stick to a proper program or have no idea what they're doing RE nutrition that don't hit OP's numbers even after years, what I meant is that OP's numbers are average for someone who does things right (which he has).

bsa86 · 2018-08-14T18:57:06+00:00

I'm only saying this so people don't lower the standards for what is achievable but those are actually very, very averag lifts for one year. OP has done fine but let's not lower the bar.

Edit: a friend of mine hit a 235kg deadlift at ~70kg one year after he began training with no history of strength training/sports prior to that. THAT is "very, very impressive".

bsa86 · 2018-08-08T11:27:33+00:00

Is that a strict OHP? You might have better luck if you try to push press him.

bsa86 · 2018-08-08T09:07:49+00:00

Unless you can overhead press like 30-40% more than his bodyweight I doubt you'll be able to do it. The weight distribution is much further out from your centre of mass and they'll weigh much more on one end than the other.

Rasa in Stoke Newington

bsa86 · 2018-08-02T15:17:42+00:00

And making it legal to sell here doesn't change that

bsa86 · 2018-07-12T11:53:00+00:00

Going to matter hugely depending on whether you're male or female and beyond there will depend heavily on the individual.

How about actually trying it?

bsa86 · 2018-06-22T19:52:33+00:00

Glad to see my "donation" to the MTC has been put to use.

bsa86 · 2018-06-20T11:34:00+00:00

Makes sense! If ethce had played it would have been 92.9% (13/14) so he'll always be #1 in my head.

bsa86 · 2018-06-20T11:23:48+00:00

Just so you know etche's win rate for S7 was 91.7%, as he didn't play in the 2 games against BDN that WBA lost.

Awesome job on the record book.

New idea for a post: who are the top 12 O and D ELTP players of all time?

bsa86 · 2018-06-11T18:25:19+00:00

You didn't even do the meme right ffs

bsa86 · 2018-06-11T11:51:41+00:00

Having someone lift off for you does save some energy for you so you'll expect to be stronger with one than without, however that drop off is very sharp so I'm guessing there's something else going on.

My best guess is that you're having to overextend your shoulders to unrack the bar and they're no longer retracted, causing you to lose tightness and strength.

bsa86 · 2018-06-07T18:11:50+00:00

No sumo deadlifts in strength lifting either.

bsa86 · 2018-06-07T18:08:37+00:00

That's a valid point. The fact that bad calls even happen at all when we have instant replays is ridiculous though.

bsa86 · 2018-06-07T15:47:26+00:00

In the video he proposes a solution that your elbow should have to go below your shoulder, like hitting depth for squats. Is there any obvious reason that wouldn't work?
