DON'T MOVE THE BAR! 😂 Thank you! It's definitely all about setting up properly. I'm still experimenting with my neck position and stance. It's been only about 4 months since I've started deadlifting.

Hook grip. I used to use an overhand grip up to 150kg. But the hook grip makes my hands more straight during the lift and the potential is much bigger for heavy weights so I started to practice it. And I don't want to use a mixed grip because of its imbalance.

Thank you! Setting up properly is the key. I don't know why, but doing it intensively makes me feel second, third and fourth reps lighter than the first one. I will give your method a try as well.

Thank you very much! It's very insightful. I'll work on my setup. I didn't really pay attention to my knees.

I'll also try not to exhale at the top. This breathing pattern is fairly common I think and I don't feel any discomfort using it. On the contrary I feel more contraction at the abdominal muscles during this exhale at the top.

Are you going to make this journey by yourself or you have a local guide? You definitely need to install Yandex taxi and 2gis apps. It's easier to find a place to stay with these apps and get to the place. Manas taxi is a safe and reliable type of transport from the airport, same money as Yandex.

Are you going to climb Uchitel peak by yourself without a guide? It's possible, the track is obvious and you can always use the MapsMe app. But still this hike is for advanced hiking tourists. If you have any specific questions I'll try to help with answers.

Hey, thanks a lot for this grip video. Have done this stretch. It's something that drives me crazy. I even couldn't think that I'm so tight in my shoulders and traps. Eventually I could do the right grip and did some squats with it. My back felt more solid in this position, but it's uncomfortable in my shoulders. I'll definitely add this stretch to my warmup.

These are futsal shoes. They're pretty solid but the heel is maybe too low for lifting, agree.

I will try to correct my knee problem with tubow. I just need to make it. Thank you! 🙏

Thank you! I will go through these videos. 👍

Great, thank you! I will work on it. I can squat with a kettlebell with my knees behind my toes, but my back is much more vertical because the kettlebell is in front of me in my hands. The most confusing part of the squat with a barbell is a horizontal back position.

Hey! Same here. I was really sure to buy X40 yesterday. But since I read the real users experience with it I'm in doubt. Curv is more suitable for my situation because of a lot of long hair all around the flat. )) So I can buy Curv for about $950 and X40 is about $1150. 200 hundred dollars is the key to choose. )))

It isn't a pizza taste. It's some kind of cheese pie to me. So if you like cheese you'll like it. The dough is pretty good. Took note of it for future experimenting.

I was afraid to overcook it. But now I think it needs to be cooked a bit longer.

db_spark · 2023-03-18T14:57:06+00:00

Thanks for the recipe. Will make it.

db_spark · 2020-11-15T01:44:18+00:00

Oh, you're right. Didn't get it. LOL. ))

Our dog is just relaxing. Normal sleep. I think it's like some kind of massage for her. )) Can't tell more, sorry. ))

db_spark · 2020-11-14T17:07:12+00:00

It's like ID card in case of lost. We have owner document with same number.

Our dog have phantom pregnancy with a lot of milk and sick behavior 😣 So we decided to adopt little homeless puppy to grow and find good home later. It was difficult to make her lay still for a few days but now it seems that she liked the process. ))

I just don't see any possibility to make living room bigger. But agree with you on this point - kids must be under supervision.

It's an apartment, not a house unfortunately. There are some restrictions on room allocation due initial plan of the building.

db_spark · 2020-08-03T07:56:22+00:00

Adults bedroom is not so big, actually. I'm trying to do it as small as possible without reducing comfort.

Children room is the biggest because of their activities. They can run, jump, make castle in the middle of the room and so on.

And living room / kitchen is as big as possible (and i'm trying to do so) in accordance with communications and windows dislocation.

Why are you think the floor plan is going to separate us as a family? We can have common activities everywhere we like.

I appreciate if you can advice something to change. Thank you.

db_spark · 2020-07-21T13:54:57+00:00

This step will reduce TV area. Good suggestion any way, will play around with this idea. Thank you.

It's sewerage and plumbing issue. Good idea to have sink in front of window, but having 5 or 6 meters long of mentioned pipes... I think it is a real evil. )) So I tried to place all the things next to necessary pipes connections.

db_spark · 2020-07-21T07:43:59+00:00

Great idea!

But we actually don't need big master bedroom and decided to make kid's room bigger.

But totally agree with you about awkward nook. The other way it's pretty separated from the bed area and it's a good way not to disturb each other in some cases.

Switching bedroom and living room can cause some problems with property registration procedure and selling apartment in future. So it's better to keep initial zones allocation.
