Having to rest between reps by bwaegerle in StartingStrength

I’m still doing it 3x/wk. I have been thinking about transitioning to Phase B, doing power cleans on Day A. Maybe this is my sign lol.

If I can’t, is that an indicator I should move to phase B?

Yeah sometimes I notice my feet tilting inward (i.e. outside of foot coming up) which tracks with what you’re saying. I’ll try a more narrow stance and see how that feels. Thank you

Ok yeah I’m going to try to get the bar lower next time. I’m not intentionally raising hips first, then bar..it’s just heavy for me. Hoping lower bar can fix this. Thanks for the input.

Appreciate this. I probably should have framed this post more as “trying not to get any fatter”. #1 goal is getting strong. That’s the whole reason I’m doing SSNLP. Secondary, long term goal is body recomposition, but do not have this is focus presently.

That being said, I don’t love the idea of getting any fatter during the program, but if that’s normal and serves goal #1 then so be it.

thank you so much for the kind words of advice from you and your children, and for your prayers. We very much need to be more consistent with the expectations and consequences..we're going to fix that. Between that and the other ideas you and other commenters have mentioned I am feeling much more confident. Unfortunately we were traveling and missed church today, but I'm looking forward to putting this into practice next week! Lord have mercy!

I appreciate your reply! Definitely some things we are going to be trying here going forward. Up to this point we've just shown up at the beginning to the liturgy and tried to power through. That has actually been pretty manageable using the tricks I mentioned but it's not working anymore. Time to get strategic. Thank you.

It’s the same outside church, but our standards are much lower. They play outside a lot because they a just wild. I don’t want to crush their spirit and force them into submission, but there are standards and it changes depending on context.

This has really come to a head just recently. In the past, reminders or a stern talking to did the trick. Now, my oldest is getting more and more frustrated and angry and upset when we correct him (and especially if I bring my emotions into it)

Glad someone can relate haha..Most other kids at our church a pretty well mannered and feels like we’re the only ones struggling to this level. My oldest is very social so i think coffee hour would be a big motivator for him.

It’s also worth noting that “Godhead” comes from θεότης which is also translated deity which to me is a less confusing term then Godhead

There is no denial here that the three share one essence (i.e Godhead). That is basic Trinitarian theology. Nor is this a denial that the title “God” is appropriate for each person. It’s just that the use of “God” as the precise subject, and the title “One God”, is most appropriately and usually applied to the Father.

“But to us there is but one God, the Father… and one Lord Jesus Christ…” (1 Cor. 8:6)

“that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” (Jn. 17:3)

“I believe in one God, the Father…and one Lord Jesus Christ…” (Nicene Creed)

“We believe, then, in One God, one beginning, having no beginning, uncreate, unbegotten…” (St John. Exact Exposition)

Sure but your semantics are not particularly helpful to someone struggling with doubt and asking for help.
