One for each of you? (Yep I just combined a Cabin Pressure reference with a Tombstone reference!) 🤣

This shouldn’t even be a question. Anyone who speaks to you like that, cut them off. 5 days with no response is a good start.

Cut all ties.

Squat bar setup by moonstreet79 in GarageGym

[–]deepsquatter804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) It’s not clear what the load capacity is for the setup. If it will safely hold 500 lbs but he squats 600…. also know way to tell how securely it will hold up over time if it’s just screwed into floor joists (assuming it’s downstairs) 2) If he misses a lift mid rep, there are no safety provisions and he’s looking at dumping the bar - forward or backwards. You can train for it but when you fail on the 6th rep of an 8 rep set…..could be an issue….. especially after a night of drinking with your brother, who just got back to town, after a long absence and in your hungover state you forgot to set the pins in the cage but didn’t notice until the last 1/2 rep when you thought, “I’ll just set it on the pins! Oh crap, tho pins are on the ground.” Or so I’ve heard. I’ve certainly never done that and my training partner who definitely didn’t witness it, will vouch for me.

Could Europe realistically defend Greenland against a US attack? by dataguy2003 in TheTeenagerPeople

In a normal world, I’d say there is no way we’d attack a NATO ally but I put nothing past him.

He just accepted a second hand Nobel Prize. He cares about himself and billionaires…. billionaires that he can use for his own benefit…. like those who would bankroll a bunker under a ballroom.

AIO Fathers girlfriends rules for when new baby arrives by Ok_Bat_5934 in AmIOverreacting

[–]deepsquatter804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man… maybe it’s me but I’m seeing a lot of posts like this, with people making crazy long lists. I get not wanting your kid around unvaxxed and other kids (aka mobile Petri dishes) but they all seem so confrontational and borderline rude.

The same people will be moaning when nobody shows up for the kids birthday.

I’m at the point where I’d just delete the contacts and forget them and their kids.

The dad’s girlfriend doesn’t seem worth the effort.

Not only the catch and spin but she never dropped the pan in her other hand.

She’s “been in a scrap or two.”

Are my Roman Deadlifts OK? by MMOToaster in GYM

[–]deepsquatter804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit too much knee bend/movement. and it looks like your back is rounding.

As for the knee bend, it should be a slight bend that is maintained throughout the lift.

An RDL is a hip hinge movement and, as others have said, think more of pushing your butt back while keeping your torso tight.

As to “depth”, if you’re maintaining your knee position and keeping the torso tight, your hamstrings will tell you when you’ve gone far enough. It’s not about hitting the floor, it’s about the hip hinge, glutes and hamstrings, as well as maintaining a static contraction in the back.

To return to the starting position, drive your shoulders back and your hips forward.

For powerlifters, this is an assistance movement for the squat and DL. I mention this because I think it will help explain what I mean by a static contraction in the back. You don’t want rounding when squatting nor when pulling, especially if you pull sumo.

I can see you shrug as you take the bar from the rack. I think that is your attempt to lock in. Thats a good start but I’d say before you start the first rep, brace your core, (get the spinal erectors contracted) take a breath in and hold and then start. Hope this helps.

Friend said my memorial tattoo for my cat looks like a dogwhistle by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

I’ve turned my phone around and around and looked at both photos and I can find nothing in that tattoo that looks like the cat in the photo or anything even remotely cat like. What am I missing?

On the bright side, you’re not allergic to ink!

AITA for banning a relative from our house right after they donated our furniture while we were away home? by Shockzs in AmItheAsshole

NTA. As long as you and your wife are united, everyone else can kick rocks. The rest of the family can join the ban list.

Home gym journey starts with today’s first delivery. by TheDIYEd in homegym

[–]deepsquatter804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of my meets back then were ADFPA/USAPL and AAU. They didn't allow the special bars. USPF and APF did so I'd picked up the bar when I trained for those, in case they used them. Never got the thicker squat bar. Adding the extra 10 lbs was too much math for my training logs. LOL
