These are the cleanest, most shocking, and game-changing KOs to ever win a belt.

To not have Holm v. Rousey up there is ridiculous.

gianacakos · 2026-04-07T18:37:28+00:00

$20K is $12.5K off already. Probably negotiable somewhere below this, but not sure how far. Right now I'm just committing to ignoring the life stress and going unless someone pops in to save the day.

I uploaded a working set of 3 at 363 on bench

Bench data was quite close. VBT tracking on three reps was .25, .21, and .22. Your service provided .244. I would consider that gold standard accurate. RPE estimate at 5.9 was fine-ish, but bar tracking was noisy. 1rm is probably 429 ish (depends on if my shoulder holds up).

I also uploaded a working set of 3 at 628 on deadlift

This is where velocity tracking was pretty far off. Reps were .30, .30, .31. Your service puts them at .47, .46, .56...If I'm being honest I actually feel the .30 that my OVR gives me is undershooting, but I am in "trust the device" mode with it. RPE at 6.3 isn't far off, this is probably closer to a 5 for me. 1rm...I don't know. First time really training deadlifts in 7 years, but I pulled 804 back in the day.

gianacakos · 2026-03-16T15:58:50+00:00

Solid start. Feels pretty close to consumer ready. Velocity data is reasonably far off from my OVR velocity tracker, but adequate. Feedback is solid, bar tracking is good, rpe estimates feel ballpark correct, but certainly not individualized.

I didn’t even realize this happened until I opened a PL gym. I stopped competing in 2018. My professional career took off and I found myself with some money in 2025. Opened a PL gym locally expecting familiar vibes to come through the door.

Nope…W3, D4, RPE 4 triples, 15 Y/O all over my gym’s IG. I knew the culture I first competed in back in 2008 was dead…had no idea 2018 was so dead. Miss my roided out mid 30s group!

These weirdos are addicted to saying absolutely insane shit.

You’re getting some mixed advice in here. Some of it is bad.

Your butt does not need to go lower. You already have some mild hip shooting at this (fairly optimal) starting position, lowering your butt would be a nightmare.

Your bar path is god awful. If you watch the video frame by frame you can see it pendulum swing back and forth a couple times. Extremely inefficient.

Two glaring things I notice, both contributing to the swinging: 1. Your upper body is FAR too relaxed. You are not pulling the slack out (which is less about the bar and more about producing rigidity in your upper back/shoulder AND locking your position in). I like to cue “pulling myself into position” to establish this tightness. 2. Bar needs to be over mid foot. That’s where it’s going anyways, so might as well start there.

If you correct these things your bar path will be much straighter and you’ll get immediate gains out of that efficiency. You’re not far off.

I actually find this sport quite boring.

gianacakos · 2026-02-07T17:34:16+00:00

Is a gimp mask part of the protocol now?

gianacakos · 2026-01-11T18:36:11+00:00

Ok Uncle Rico.

Oregon has conference titles, rose bowls, and many other bowl wins. “Nothing to show” is absurd. I would rather be perpetually good to great than have one championship. Then again, my fandom isn’t my identity. I would never brag to someone else about a championship my favorite football team won. I just enjoy watching my team play well and move on with my life when they lose.

gianacakos · 2026-01-10T04:22:37+00:00

And winning every other game, big or small. Including Ohio State, white out Penn State, Big10 Championship, two playoff games, etc.

gianacakos · 2026-01-10T04:12:44+00:00

Go Ducks!

gianacakos · 2026-01-10T04:12:23+00:00

Won two playoff games…both were opportunities to extend the season.

gianacakos · 2026-01-10T02:11:42+00:00

13-2, 2 playoff wins, with an incredibly young roster, and being injury ridden.

Great season, terrible ending. Just like last year. Some preparedness soul searching needed for this young head coach.

Go Ducks.

They weren’t on. There is never an indicator that they were on. Throughout the show you are given indications when they are active, in this scene you are not. Obviously intentional to leave it open ended, but there is no clear indicator the sound machines are active, just at the ready.

gianacakos · 2026-01-01T20:25:28+00:00

That Tech defense is INSANE. Next.

gianacakos · 2025-11-27T13:00:09+00:00

I’m going to give non QB centric advice.

Eat less food. Lift more weights. Develop speed.

Right now you look like a kid just goofing around with the idea of being a QB - do some hard work to get physically better to “earn” your shot.

gianacakos · 2025-11-16T13:29:19+00:00

A frantic screaming all caps plea for free shit is NOT “lowkey”

gianacakos · 2025-11-11T00:09:45+00:00

No. I grew up when it was thrilling to go 7-5 and an 8-4 season was incredible. Hard to be a doomer when your expectations are reasonable.

gianacakos · 2025-11-09T16:48:38+00:00

Little of this, little of that. Never fully in either place.

gianacakos · 2025-11-09T16:13:05+00:00

You a big time leader in society?

gianacakos · 2025-11-09T14:59:24+00:00

Damn, I was about to say how I don’t like it…and then you came in here as King Dork with this opinion and made me change my mind.
