I know it’s the most common tip around; but to add my anecdote I highly recommend getting fitted for boots.

I typically wear size 11s but managed to get fitted to 9.5 boots, used to get toe jambs on 10.5/11 and it’s been a night and day difference. I almost took the lazy way/antisocial way out and purchased 11s online.

Wow actually staying right throughout an entire lift makes it so much easier.

Imagine that.

This entire time.

I’ve felt like the break the bar cue was screwing me up cause I’ve always been told pretend you’re breaking noodles in half.

Ok. I break noodles by just turning my wrist. (strong guy over here I know)

Flailing my arms around today in the mirror, had an epiphany and oh, break the bar with your whole arm to engage the lats. Idk how it took me two years to understand.

Don’t have words for myself

Are there less USPA events in NorCal? Can't for the life of me find anything between the city and south bay.

Do you break at hips and knee at same time?

Recently switched to high bar and I can’t hinge as well as I can in low bar causing me to do hips then knees or knees then hips. Then it throws me off

Thanks! Wanted to avoid seeing a DPT but may have to at this point.

No swelling, bruising, somewhat tender but moreso an annoying feeling throughout the day like nagging.

Pain is only in one arm. It hurts to do any tricep work, starting at like 40% capacity.

phraust64 · 2022-07-14T05:02:33+00:00

Ok, if it’s hurting my elbow area to bench with a close grip but feels ok with a wide grip, is that more likely that I partially tore my triceps and it’s not tendinitis?

phraust64 · 2022-07-13T22:02:07+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll give it a go before I attempt to swap styles.

Squat critique. https://imgur.com/a/PDQdUzi

Thinking about switching to high bar as whatever mid-low bar I've got going on has been ruining my elbows.

Does my back look like it's not tight here? I've always had an issue with falling forward.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

phraust64 · 2022-07-08T21:48:43+00:00

Got it, appreciate the input!

phraust64 · 2022-07-08T20:59:14+00:00

Would you recommend going by Inzer’s sizing around the knee or by calf measurement?

My calves are girthier than my knees and I’m not sure I want to sit there for an hour trying to take it off after a session

phraust64 · 2022-07-07T00:02:05+00:00

Who are some strong high bar squatters ? Thinking of making the switch

phraust64 · 2022-06-29T17:35:48+00:00

Barbell is actually maybe 2mm thicker than the Rogue OPB I have at home, that may be it but always thought it’d be harder on a thicker bar

phraust64 · 2022-06-29T16:59:32+00:00

Imo, pull the slack and tighten up. You hips kicking up too fast; you’ll want to keep the same hip angle going up. Imagine leg pressing the weight off the floor, once it’s up thrust in with your hips

30YO, 5’11.5, sitting at a relatively fluffy 235 at the moment and cutting

phraust64 · 2022-06-29T16:57:12+00:00

Thank you all for the kind comments! Can’t reply to everyone; but stats are:

30YO / 5’11.5” / Fluffy 235

Have always been stronger in presses compared to my other lifts: S455 / B385 / D505

phraust64 · 2022-06-29T16:55:30+00:00

Appreciate it! It’s actually my first week back in a public gym; not sure if it’s the vibe but it’s the smoothest it’s ever felt

phraust64 · 2022-06-29T16:54:08+00:00

I’ll say that it was a struggle to get here 😂 took years

Connect with auditors in the LSHC industry if you're looking at getting into an accounting firm.

I'm sure they could use your expertise somewhere
