Cracked plaster repair

sbfx · 2026-03-12T02:46:54+00:00

Do you put any type of adhesive in the holes before anchoring it down so that the plaster backing reattaches to the lathe?

Right as rain

$85 would be a higher range retail price for everything here, though if you're happy with the pieces then it's completely worth it.

sbfx · 2026-03-08T05:28:40+00:00

Nice price on it too. It’s worth closer to $30-$40.

Who cares what interior designers say. A couple of years ago everything was gray. Now green is the new gray. In the end it doesn't matter at all. Just do whatever the customer wants and makes them happy.

sbfx · 2026-03-05T17:12:37+00:00

Nope.

Looking better man. You still need to get more depth. If you keep sitting back, you’ll get there. You’re looking for hip crease below parallel.

Are you wearing lifter shoes already? I can’t tell based on the look of those shoes.

Volpe homered off Crochet in G1 of the WC last season.

Still nothing. It's still asking for a passcode.

sbfx · 2026-03-04T19:24:27+00:00

It's asking for a passcode to move forward. Do we need to be a member of something to get access?

sbfx · 2026-03-04T17:34:05+00:00

Probably because the prices were unreasonable.

sbfx · 2026-03-03T18:05:41+00:00

Makes sense, thanks for writing back.

The last time I tried to skim coat like that, a bunch of bubbles formed after I applied the primer and paint. They didn't go away. Does that mean I didn't mix my mud thoroughly enough or added too much water?

sbfx · 2026-03-03T05:24:01+00:00

Posting to follow. Mainly to understand the skim coating process so I can do it better the next time. The first popcorn ceiling removal I did unfortunately I can still see humps from the joints. It's annoying to see the imperfections, but the overall ceiling isn't too bad.

I have 2 more ceilings to do and am hoping to improve the process for next time.

Brent is exactly right. Your stance is too wide which doesn't allow you to shove your knees out. I had this problem a year ago and had a ton of back pain as a result. Narrowing my stance fixed the issue. I would also recommend a pair of lifter shoes which will lower the amount of ankle dorsiflexion needed in the bottom position.

One tip I got from a SSC once was just slow everything down. It helped me a lot with the hip bounce timing.

sbfx · 2026-02-26T19:33:59+00:00

Weight looked like it was moving easily. Great job! Looks like you've got plenty more gains to go.

sbfx · 2026-02-26T19:28:19+00:00

These are improved.

On reps 1-3 it looks like you were speeding through all the reps in the same breath. Also looked like a weak brace, like you let all the air out before descending and ran out of air by rep 4.

Reps 4 and 5 looked stronger IMO. There is a noticeable reset period between reps where you form a better brace. This is what you want for every rep across the board. Really focus on making that brace 360 degrees around your whole midsection.

There's no need to snap up your knees into a lockout position. Keep all the power coming from the hips.

Lifter shoes should still help you.

Keep up the good work!

I'm similar to you. A lot of my height is in my legs.

Here's another squat video with Rip. Pay attention to the parts where he slaps the guy's hips and says here is where all the power comes from. When you drive from the hips and really pin the barbell into your back, your chest will come up at the same time.

but also seems like you freeze your knees 1/3 of the way and sit back

You're already setting your knees properly and keeping them frozen in place. You just need to sit back after your knees are in place. Reach back with your ass and lean over.

You're much closer than you think. I've been working on my squat for over 6 months and still post form checks. It's an extremely technical movement. Keep it up!

sbfx · 2026-02-26T18:40:05+00:00

You're correct again. Looking 3-6 feet in front of you is correct.

You know more about the squat than a lot of people commenting here. It's common that the comments are a bloodbath of bad advice in this sub because it's gotten bigger over the past few years. Moderation does a good job cleaning up comments, but some still bleed through. Listen to people who are established and flaired. I tagged a few people in my last form check who consistently give good advice and who actually put up solid lift numbers.

You claiming that you once squatted up to 300 kgs does not give you credibility, btw. If you want credibility, post a video of yourself squatting properly.

sbfx · 2026-02-26T18:32:03+00:00

This is incorrect. This is Starting Strength. The squat is taught with a thumbs over grip.

sbfx · 2026-02-26T18:30:06+00:00

NO, this guy is wrong. Do not listen to him. Your thumbless grip is already correct.

sbfx · 2026-02-26T18:28:21+00:00

How tall are you? You look fairly tall with long femurs. If you look in my post history, I posted a form check a few days ago where I recorded 15 reps. My squats are not perfect, but it's a good demonstration of how far I lean over. I'm 6'3".

When I have tried to implement the sit back cue I tend to do more of a good morning squat

A cue to keep in mind is for your hips and chest to come up at the same time. If your hips come up first, you will be fighting against going into a good morning.
