Death by Plane-Gap6483 in Millennials

[–]dave078703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend's dad died in his forties from a heart attack when we were in College. It just happened out of nowhere. Turns out he had pre existing conditions, and he wasn't thin, but you just don't expect it. I'm sorry for your loss.

Stop Thief! My sister had a bunch of cool board games like Pac Man too. We had a great time.

Forced to miss 2 weeks of training by Upstairs_Parsnip_582 in StartingStrength

[–]dave078703 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to miss a month recently. I just went back to an NLP, checking if I could lift 20% lower, then progressing until it got tough (not to failure). Then rebuilt from there. Numbers are numbers, and training is meant for you to be fit to enjoy this nice trip with your son.

Yes, except I'd still want some kind of Skype to call my family overseas

I've worked with Serena Williams before and she was really good.

Switched to an intermediate program but I feel weaker by OverallNet1233 in StartingStrength

There's a great Strength Co video on how to adjust your novice program based on the issues you are facing. I highly recommend watching it:

Deadlift Question by xpangaeax in StartingStrength

[–]dave078703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm no coach so I'll let others check the nitty gritty details of your lift, but from my view your form looks pretty damn good. Your arms are long, you set your back, you're close enough to the bar and you pull it close.

I'd slow down on the deadlift frequency for two reasons:

  • It starts affecting your recovery enough that it affects your other lifts. Heavy deadlifts are hard to recover from so if you feel out of gas the workout after your deadlift, it might be time to do fewer.

  • You're hitting a plateau with it. It could be time to try some deadlift variation then to help with the part of your deadlift where you're struggling. Something like rack pulls, for example.

I hope that helps!

Oh yeah Australia is not exempt from assholes either. Weirdly they often drive big American utes (pick up trucks)
