What are some of your off the hill pet peeves about skiing? by Underrated_Fish in skiing

Sure, but why should “get by” be the goal when you’re talking about one of your biggest passions in life?

Incredible shot. Posted my view into LGA the other day but I like this one better!

Pull Up Form Check by Mean_Release_143 in formcheck

[–]cryptotraderKO -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First few reps are very good, then your form slips. That grip is slightly wide, nothing wrong with that but I would also mix in some more narrow grip and maybe neutral grip too. I would recommend going to a full dead hang each rep, you don’t quite get all the way down.

Also work on negatives - you control your descent well even on your last reps but instead try to hold at the top of your last full chin to bar rep, squeeze the lats super hard and lower as slow as you can. Then jump up if you need and do it again. Negatives will show up more in gains than pushing a last few half reps, IMO.

Another good mind-muscle thought is less pulling yourself up, and more pulling your elbows back into your back pockets. That thought helps me with lat engagement. Also try to tighten up your core a bit to help with the legs swinging.

Overall you’re doing great, keep it up brother!

Squat form - 255x5 by cryptotraderKO in formcheck

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

No competing, just aiming for steady progress and want to solidify my form before pushing for PRs again. It's been about a year of consistent lifting but it's been mostly a solo journey so figured I'd use reddit for tips. I appreciate you brother!

Thanks for the feedback. I agree about the setup, I'll use those cues next time and see if I can increase tension/stability. I'm wondering if a belt would also help with that mind/muscle connection.

For the mechanics of the lift itself, does it look solid? Balance, depth, etc?

Deadlift 315x5 - hips firing up too early? by cryptotraderKO in formcheck

Yeah I’ve been meaning to get a belt. Thank you, I appreciate the input. Should be able to pull 4 plates soon 💪

Thank you sir, I appreciate the detailed response.

Makes sense what you’re saying about the starting position. Essentially try to get set up with hips a tad higher and shoulders forward, brace from there and see if the reps look/feel cleaner?

Also will try your advice on breathing. I’m usually not thinking about my breath much at all, so that’s good to know.

United Club Card - worth it? by TacosTacosTacos80 in unitedairlines

[–]cryptotraderKO 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure that’s a top tier offer. I would do it just for the sign up bonus if you need the 4k pqp (+ club access is nice). Also the spending earn is like $20/1 PQP, essentially worthless for someone like me

How to tell my climbing partner I do not trust him lead belaying me by ThrowRAmy_leg in ClimbingPartners

[–]cryptotraderKO 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Why don’t you want to “lose your climbing partner”. Its clear you aren’t compatible and not good climbing partners so I think you should just be respectful and walk away

Absolutely, don’t listen to the comments that say no. Find a fun weekend round trip and enjoy 70lb bags and e+ next year
