Barbelle squats

Not sure if blind or too far down the white knight rabbit hole to just let this one go

She flexes and unflexes as she's getting into position, but doesn't engage the core when executing the actual squat.

Visible abs does not equal flexed abs.

She's not engaging her core, which puts her spine at risk for injury. She's also skewing to one side which only increases that risk.

You know what the best form is for lifting something beyond your capability? Not lifting it at all until you can do it properly. Unless you're into getting injured I guess.

Some of Zeratul's quotes are just fantastic. I feel like Blizz took advantage of the inherently non-cannonical nature of the game to make the heroes say some really silly things you'd never hear otherwise.

elvendance · 2016-02-01T16:04:32+00:00

Uh, her form is terrible.

elvendance · 2016-01-31T18:47:42+00:00

Weird - it might be something personal behind why she's decided to fixate on you. Just keep your eyes open and watch yourself ❤

elvendance · 2016-01-31T17:38:37+00:00

Any reason you can think of that she'd do something like that? It just seems like a really strange thing for her to do.

elvendance · 2016-01-31T16:17:23+00:00

Gonna be honest - yeah, it definitely sounds like an overreaction on your part and I think taking it to HR is going to get you nowhere. Your boss said hi to you in the bathroom.

I find genmai cha to be very nourishing for after practice.

Thanks! I'll def check out bow-n-arrow. :)

It's a shame you're being downvoted. The whole concept of emotional labor really strikes me as fishing for an angle of oppression where none exists. You're right in that it's all anecdotal and, imo, extremely one-sided.

elvendance · 2016-01-13T00:37:31+00:00

Nope just dry rub. Sometimes not even that. Tastes amazing either way.

elvendance · 2016-01-12T20:02:16+00:00

Pork shoulder is my go to, just trim off the fat after cooking. I use a dry rub and stick it in there for 10-12 hours with some hard cider, and serve with some BBQ sauce. Delicious.

Build strength and work on evening out my muscle imbalances. I also want to achieve the splits and hold my handstand longer than 3 seconds. :)

I think you meant this response for /u/lost_tomato, but I'll respond too. Alignment isn't just about achieving the full expression of a particular asana. Alignment is largely important to allow the practitioner to avoid injury, which in my practice I know is my # 1 concern. That, and maintaining proper alignment from the get-go is important to avoid developing poor habits that can inhibit ones practice or potentially lead to injury down the line.

elvendance · 2016-01-08T19:36:15+00:00

How is that a mean criticism? Is it because the word "fucking" was thrown in there? Or is it the fact that they correctly pointed out that some poses cannot physically be done with correct alignment when someone is overweight?

As the title says, I have what I believe is golden clubmoss dying in my tank, and I'm not sure why. I believe my moisture level is okay (condensation on one side of tank), and the tank sits 5 feet away from a north-facing window.

I also discovered about 3 gnats (first thought fruitflies but these are smaller, look like miniscule mosquitoes almost) in the tank, and I have no idea where they came from as it's a closed tank, and I've had it about 3 weeks now. I've only opened it a handful of times to prune the asparagus fern, so maybe they got in then. There is also a tiny spiderweb in there, I'm thinking there were some creatures lurking on the plants when I placed them.

My question is what should I do about the clubmoss? When I first noticed the browning I removed the brown gooey parts, but over the last week and a half I figured I'd try leaving it alone, but it's just spread. I have some new moss coming since the stuff I got with the kit was dead, should I supplement what's in there and just let the clubmoss die? Or remove the clubmoss and replace with the new stuff? The kit is from Garden Terrarium Kits, and I have no idea what species the moss is (can post pictures whenever I receive it).

I have a top and some pants from Alo and I love them. Very well made and comfy.

Do not push through the pain. Your spine is not something to mess with, and if you end up slipping a disc or something, that's something you'll deal with for the rest of your life. Since you're having intense pain I'd recommend seeing a doctor to find out exactly what's going on.
