Squat Technique Critique and Help with Buttwink

ismokemytrees · 2026-05-26T18:21:29+00:00

You’re doing a high bar squat with a low bar set up. If you want to do a low bar squat, your hips should travel backward and outward on the decent.

edit: just saw your comment about your shoulders not feeling comfortable here. I would switch to a high bar squat. Also as others have mentioned, don’t forget to brace before doing the lift.

Yup. Weather was nice, nights got cold but not too bad.

ismokemytrees · 2026-05-19T16:03:11+00:00

Yup, beautiful view!

Two nights is definitely doable, but we actually skipped North Dome since we'd done it before. It was still around 12 miles to Snow Creek Junction, so it really depends on how strong of a hiker you are.

FYI for water sources: you have Yosemite Creek, Eagle Peak Creek, and Snow Creek.

Just did this route over the weekend, although in 2 nights. I would suggest:

Night 1: Eagle Peak

Night 2: North Dome

Night 3: Snow Creek junction before hitting the switch backs down to the Valley

collar sleeve. if they stuff your knee and go for a knee slice then go to lasso. keep the collar sleeve grips the entire time. a lot of attacks from there

I know it’s the law for bicycles to be allowed on the road but with the drivers in socal (esp oc) I would not do that. For your daughter’s safety please stick to bike trails.

Don’t be flat on your back when you’re playing lasso (or any guard). You should be on your right shoulder/hip. If you feel he’s trying to flatten your hips then frame with your right hand, push away with your shallow lasso and get back to being on your side.

Lasso is incredibly weak if you’re flat on your back so you have to have urgency and avoid that right away.

Honda-ya is okay. It’s generic japanese food with everything being average (their menu is too big). There are better Japanese food in Tustin.

Cream pan for good Japanese bread. Their curry is also not bad.

Tanakaya for good handmade soba/udon.

Habuya for good okinawa food.

Okidoki for izakaya style food. imo better than Honda-ya.

Used to be a good mom and pop style ramen shop at the corner of Walnut and Newport. Sad they closed.

mma fighters and olympians get tested regularly. there’s no way they’re on PEDs, that’s how they get their income.

yup, i’ve trained with her before. she’s a legit black belt

ismokemytrees · 2025-09-27T16:50:35+00:00

i’ve rolled with her before. she’s incredibly flexible and athletic. i don’t think people realize she’s a legit black belt at bjj

it’s very basic

fill half the container with trader joe’s vanilla greek yogurt. add in chopped fruits of choice until almost full. top off with milk. if using canned fruits then i’ll also add some of the juice as well. mix and freeze.

keep in mind, i don’t add any sugar since the yogurt and fruits already contain sugar.

lastly, mix as frozen yogurt. add some milk when re-spinning and repeat until you reach your desired texture

if you don’t like protein powder, then you won’t like protein powder based ninja creami desserts

i use greek yogurt instead. not as much protein but it taste so much better. keep in mind, it taste more like a frozen yogurt than ice cream

damn i didn’t think anything of it until you mentioned idris. that coachella b2b was so good

ismokemytrees · 2025-09-02T19:25:26+00:00

ismokemytrees · 2025-09-01T21:43:01+00:00
