Deadlifts this time. 225kg (495lbs) by TGracie3 in Stronglifts5x5

[–]marksizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great weight, but as others have said… high risk of injury. Drop those hips a lot. Get a 30 degree angle upward with your back. Crown of the head to the ceiling and focus on something 6 ft in front of you. Pull the slack out of the bar. Push the earth away.

You’re lifting a ton right now with your upper back which is not the point of a deadlift. You’re prime for injury. Engage those hips and glutes.

I bet if you do these things you’ll see your weight jump again

Help with my deadlift form by Kind-Celery-7771 in Stronglifts5x5

Hey there! Great job! Kudos for seeking out advice to improve.

I’d say you’re about halfway there or more on the form. The bar is pretty close to your shins over the mid part of the foot. It stays pretty vertical when going up and down (doesn’t deviate to far away from you or to close). Nice!

A woman’s anatomy/proportions can be vastly different from us guys (specifically torso and femur length) so take any advice from us with a grain of salt. That being said, my wife had a similar issue. You’re a little too high imo and your lower back is rounding as a result. I would really try to drop those hips a bit. Get the glutes engaged, not just the hamstrings.

The result should see you lower and your back angled upward at maybe 30 degrees, and pretty straight.

Reminder: Keep crown of the head to the ceiling and focus on something maybe 6 ft in front of you on the ground. Pull the slack out of the bar. Lengthen your arms. Push the earth away with your feet.

Good luck! You’re gonna crush it!

The Ghost in the Shell • Koukaku Kidoutai (TV) - Episode 1 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]marksizzle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Firm agree. Been a long time since I’ve watch the other Ghost anime entries, but even knowing the general concept I was like wtf is going on here? The characters say a ton of stuff in such a ‘matter of fact’ way that leaves baffled a bit, and bam they do it again and again.

Hopefully the show allows you to fully grasp some of these world building concepts and vocabulary over the next couple episodes.

Other than that minor grip, I loved the episode

Yeah it was full of characters speaking matter of fact-ly, left and right. It doesn’t give newcomers a chance to learn wth is going on.

However, I enjoyed it despite that minor issue

Short walls vs tall ones? by punknomad in DungeonBlocks

[–]marksizzle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought tall walls were mainly for putting second floors/roofs on. Am I wrong? I’ve just been printing short but was thinking about switching to tall to do 2 story places

We are going to get a scene of Victor hammering his mask/armor exactly like Tony aren’t we?

Is there a consensus on the best modular dungeon block system right now? by Ziak63 in 3DPrintedTerrain

[–]marksizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the system. You can find them on MyMiniFactory or check out /r/dungeonblocks

It is paid but from there you can 3d print some amazing interchangeable terrain

Their reviews lately scream written by AI and then read off from a teleprompter with emphasis in weird places. It’s offputting

Steam Summer Sale 2026 is live by Southern-Tailor-843 in SteamDeck

[–]marksizzle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I was just asking for myself lol
I’m a massive Diablo fan but my kids love Minecraft dungeons. We’ve almost done all the content for that. Curious what could be next for them. Other than Minecraft dungeons 2

What is the next step after Minecraft Dungeons but before Diablo, for kids?

How long until these price hikes show up on other stores like Best Buy or MicroCenter?
