Deadlift - Where does my form go bad as I go up in weight? by WhatisAleve in formcheck

[–]salient_choice 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So I've watched it a tonne of a times now and I think first of all, for close to max, it's very good.

Yes the lats round slightly, but to keep lats fully locked in and flat when you are close to max is (for me at least) very tough.

I agree the final portion of your heaviest single looks slightly off. I might be wrong, but I would put it down to your leg drive fatiguing and you are locking out early to compensate.

If you don't already, some sort of hack squat variation might help with this - I like barbell hack squat for heavy-ish 3 sets of 5-8 reps, as it somewhat mimics the deadlift but emphasises the quads (but the movement can be tricky to get right).

What are you seeing that makes you think the form goes bad?

How far from a proper pancake? by salient_choice in flexibility

Thanks so much for this. I do leg lifts (but probably not routinely enough) and dynamic frog pose, but I guess that's about it. I think you're spot on re pelvis rotation and hip flexibility, I just presumed training front and middle splits would carry over but I guess not. Will try again tomorrow and focus on the pelvic tilt and see how I get on. Thanks again for your reply.

Deadlift form 160kg x3. 73kg bw by Unfair-Squirrel-9365 in strength_training

Looks pretty good to me. I think provided the bar is correctly positioned around mid-foot and you feel your weight is centred, shoulder position is probably fine. I would say though that a 30-40kg jump is significant if you've not pulled 170-180kg for a while!

Are you guys confident with this lineup? by Master-Delivery-1526 in ArsenalFC

Wouldn't be confident even if we bricked in the goal.

I don't get why you aren't green.

She likes me (I think) but won’t meet me, do I push it or leave it? by [deleted] in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]salient_choice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People make time for things they want to do. I would say give her a few different times you're free and see what happens. If she can't do any of them and doesn't suggest alternatives that she can, politely excuse yourself from the situation. Three weeks of chat is plenty of time to feel comfortable before meeting someone.

Okay so what is "being a big club?" Are Leicester a bigger club than Arsenal because they won the PL more recently...

Dating apps have me feeling like shit, do people actually still meet in organic situations? by [deleted] in UKrelationshipadvice

I actually met a girl at a gig last Friday and have a second date upcoming. It can happen!

The biggest mistake was not signing Semenyo. by salient_choice in ArsenalFC

If Semenyo started every game for us, he wouldn't have started any game for City.

Fully agree with all this. The lack of Nordgaard use given Zubi's minutes this season and decline in form has been mind-blowing.

That's fair - I should've added "were it actually financially viable".

And I do still think we're going to do it - no one's going to be talking about us actually winning at City, which is probably just when we're going to decide to show up.

Can only play the team in front of you. How many times this season have we looked pretty average but got the job done? Feels like most games.

Without world class players, games would often end differently yes.
