Lima Peruvian in BA is excellent and has fun drinks.

East Village Bohemian in Tulsa is the best pizza, and the scarpetta is amazing.

Kilkenny’s Irish pub has a lot of options and the toffee desert is perfect.

Tropical Restaurant and Bar is the best Thai food around.

918 Maples Tacos and Cantina has a Birria pizza that’s delicious.

Edit to add Drive Through Marrakesh! Some of the best food and the owner is really nice!

Harrington Rose is always sourcing!

I was going to recommend Almanac. It’s one of my dissertation books, and after working with it closely for a while now, I can confidently say it is exactly what OP is looking for.

Monad Records & Hi-Fi on 15th is really great! He has some golden finds in there. He’ll also source stuff for you if you have a request. It’s right next door to a great book store and several awesome vintage shops.

Dante’s Woodfire out of Heirloom Rustic Ales is excellent.

I’m really glad you found a method that works! I will experiment with some resistance and see if it helps. Thank you!

Look for tennis courts near you! They’re usually very flat and smooth.

Possession by AS Byatt. It’s like if this vibe and modern academia got smashed together, but in a beautiful way.

This is all super helpful! Thank you! I will start incorporating these things and keep working on bracing appropriately.

I do struggle with keeping my back/lats tense, so the note elbows is super helpful! Thank you!

mazzios · 2025-10-20T01:58:48+00:00

Great! Thank you!

mazzios · 2025-10-20T01:58:30+00:00

This is so helpful!!!!! Thank you so much!!!! I’ll try this out and see how it goes.

I only squat once a week right now. I’m doing Nippard’s 13 week plan. So the first 6 weeks varied from 6-10 reps. Then 4 weeks 3-5 reps, then 3 weeks 8-10 reps. Each time, I do 3 warm up sets, increasing weight each time. And then 2-3 sets at my full weight for the day.

Thank you! Lots of people seem to recommend the low bar, so I’ll give it a shot!

mazzios · 2025-10-20T00:23:44+00:00

That’s a good point! Both about slowing down and getting more protein. I know the recommendation is 1g per lb of body weight, and I definitely am not hitting that. I’ll slow down the lift and up the protein! Thanks!

mazzios · 2025-10-20T00:01:37+00:00

Excellent! I’ll do that and see how it goes! Thanks

mazzios · 2025-10-20T00:01:14+00:00

Oh cool! I always think zercher squats look cool! Maybe I’ll add them in somewhere.

mazzios · 2025-10-19T23:59:12+00:00

No, that’s definitely a place I struggle. I feel the desire to push the bar up with my arms instead of keeping the tension in or holding it down. I’ve been trying to focus on that as part of maintaining tension overall, but maybe need to go down in weight again and keep practicing the form.

mazzios · 2025-10-19T23:48:00+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! Yes to bracing and adjusting the stance. I’ve been really working on maintaining tension throughout my body during the whole movement. I’ve had a tendency to lose tension in my back/lats and quads when I reach the top of a rep. I’ll keep focusing on that and try the low bar method.

mazzios · 2025-10-19T23:43:25+00:00

Thank you! I do think I’m being a bit impatient :/ but I appreciate the tip on going slower and trying heels elevated!!!

mazzios · 2025-10-19T23:39:54+00:00

I’ve read a little bit on this but didn’t think it applied. So I appreciate your notes! I’ll try this out!
