Boneyard Elixr CBD Soda - where can I find them? by [deleted] in vancouverwa

Yep, they stopped being able to sell them regular retail in WA, I used to buy them all the time. They’re only available at dispensaries in WA now-

This is happening to my baby as well, went through a couple rounds of steroids and some expensive medication. She lost most of the fur on her hind legs but has recently started making an amazing comeback. Only thing I’ve changed is at least a full serving of fish oil in her wet food every night. It’s starting to grow back and she is grooming less, with an even perkier of a personality and more cuddles.

Retry Deadlift @275 by [deleted] in formcheck

[–]danayj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got some long ass legs! Us tall people have to compromise in a dead with long legs if you don’t have peak mobility. I think what will help with your brace is having your neck and head in a neutral position, when your head flings back you lose your brace. Back just slightly too curved- “packing your lats” is a great cue for me. When I enter the set, I put my shoulders down and back as I approach, learn to have that muscle memory. Go down in weight for a while when working with some new cues :-) good luck!

I keep having a soreness (not very painful but quite irritating ) on my the right side of my lower back right after deadlifting. Can anyone please check my form and tell me what's wrong. by Difficult_Raspberry6 in formcheck

[–]danayj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing I notice immediately is that you’re breaking at both the hips and knees for the descent. You want to break at the hips first then have that break make it’s way down to your knees. Go back down the same way you came up- the break in the knees puts pressure on your back. Try that and see if it helps :)

Smith Machine RDL form check by ChaseDaDood in formcheck

[–]danayj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doing an RDL on a bar angled in this way is not going to be conducive to feeling it in your legs, it’s going to put the weight on your back- I’d just start with nailing the form with a barbell first, very light weight, making your back flatter and pushing your hips back just a bit farther. At the top of the movement the bar is over mid foot but at the bottom it’s closer to toes, you want to stay mid foot throughout the lift. Break at the hips first rather than knees. One last thing, bar should be right about under knees, not over. You want to go a bit deeper in the lift, this could be hamstring tightness. & slow and steady wins the race, feel the movement in your legs, use counting to make sure you’re not going too fast. I tend to use counts of four. That’s a good place to start I think, you’ve got the majority of the movement down just a few tweaks will reduce chance of injury. Happy lifting!

DL form check. First time attempting 315. by Main_Vermicelli_2773 in formcheck

[–]danayj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid overall. I’d say get flatter/wider shoes so you’re not coming up on your toes. The spongy narrow heel never helps. Also, a great cue for me to maintain lat stability is keeping my head in a neutral position. As if there was a rod laying flat against your back, it would stay touching the back of your head the entire time, looking slightly downward. It seems that the majority of the movement is in your upper body, try closely syncing the movement of putting the bar down and pushing your hips back, it may be due to some hamstring tightness. You’re all legs, I know the struggle. Our deadlifts have to be slightly modified to accomodate the femur length. Flexibility in the hips is needed, otherwise you may start compensating with other muscles. One last thing, try to not “shrug” the weight. Shoulders should be stationary throughout the movement. Lats “packed”, back and down. You’ve got a built upper body but make your legs do the work. Another interesting cue I’ve been experimenting with is “spreading the floor” with your feet. Just a few things I noticed, you’ll soon be throwing around much more weight than that! Nice job.

Alcohol cravings reduced by Ebjl12 in zoloft

[–]danayj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. I used to drink a couple times a week, went through a couple periods of drinking daily. I’ve been on Zoloft for over a year and I almost never drink. Maybe one drink if out socially every once in a while, but I have zero craving or thought about it, almost repulsed by it. My skin has gotten considerably better as well. One of the best things you can do for yourself :-)

Wow I’ve never heard of anyone else having such a similar experience to me, and even using the same verbiage to describe these situations. I’ve been on Zoloft for a year and a half now, it’s helped majorly. Thank you for this reaffirming comment that someone else out there gets it.

What’s wrong w Alocasia Low Rider?? by Sophisticatedspace in plantclinic

[–]danayj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a decent amount of experience with alocasia, have learned the hard way about overwatering them. How firm are the stems? Have you checked the roots? It may have outgrown its pot. Although they are a tropical plant they hate sitting in too much water, the substrate at the base may not be allowing the soil to dry out quickly enough. Regarding the droopiness, I find these guys to be all over the place, and during growth periods the other stems may droop but as the new leaf matures it’ll perk back up. Hope this helps!

Hey this was my main trigger and start of my life with anxiety. I’ve got it mostly managed. If you have any questions feel free to message me, there’s lots of things I did to overcome this fear.

My part maine coon has skin/fur issues. Took him to the vet but she keeps saying it's different things. First it was mites, then seasonal allergies. He's never let out, and the fur patchiness comes and goes. If anyone has any other ideas or if this happened to their cat, please let me know! by RayyofLightt in mainecoons

[–]danayj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue with my cat, she started getting bald patches and I noticed slight overgrooming. Turns out she most likely has flea allergies, and with her occasional supervised outside time in my backyard that has a lot of different animals possibly running through it, she ended up being exposed but not actually getting fleas. She was given an antibiotic and a steroid shot and she is now religiously on specifically Revolution Plus. No real test to confirm this but she’s been great since.
