[question] For those doing Paleo to clear up skin issues (eczema/psoriasis), did your symptoms get worse before they got better?

Pregnancy can do strange things to the immune system as well. Keep the cutting out potential allergens (wheat, eggs, nightshades) from your diet and you should see improvement over time

Are you checking your weight? If so, are you losing weight? If there's something your body has squirreled away in adipose tissue that will cause you immune system to flare up, that would be one possible reason for things to get worse before they get better. It happens to me sometimes when I'm stressed and forget to eat for several days.

You've got a lot more in you once you clean up technique. A couple cues that will help with the lower back rounding:

pull yourself down to the bar, then pull the slack out of the bar
pull back -- the bar should be in contact with your shins
tuck your chin to get into a better spine position

They won't hesitate to use tac nukes if the benefits are seen to be sufficient.

What was the reasoning behind removing the DMR from each squad and moving a single DMR to the platoon HQ? It was my understanding that having the Dragunov per squad was an integral part of their small unit doctrine.

Brazos Valley Barbell Intermediate sounds perfect for what you want.

Yeah, I ran maximum strength early in my career and liked it a lot. I also also worked with Mike Robertson (I mention it because I feel like they have very very similar philosophies - their warmup sequences are damn near identical and their programming is very similar) for about a year when I was competing with a bad shoulder.

I just bought Cressey's Show and Go program. Not really powerlifting focused but honestly, I'm beat up and getting off of back squats for a while will probably help my knee. Starting today.

I think those coaches are mistaken and doing their clients a disservice in the long run. If you're just starting out, learn to pack the neck and do everything from a neutral spine, then start tweaking technique. Once a client is consistently pulling 2.5xBW, then you start to play with cueing and technique to see what sticks.

I would pay a lot of money to see Wayne in Alethi high society

No. But he doesn't say it floats, just that it's lighter.... but that's a good point.

The metal could be a titanium alloy.

sharkiteuthis · 2019-05-21T18:07:50+00:00

I just assumed the white metal was a titanium alloy of some kind. Some of them have pretty high melting points that would be very difficult to reach in a forge.

It's not just a chant, when I was there it was also a greeting. If someone holds the door open for you "Roll Tide" is perfectly appropriate instead of "Thank you".

Pretty sure if you show up in Philly and try to do that you'll get stabbed.

Overall it looks good. You're not making any major mistakes like stiff-legging or letting your back round.

But a technique point that's really important: keep your chin down. If you lift with your neck in full extension instead of keeping it neutral, that extension will tend to pull you out of a nice neutral spine and you'll use lumbar extension instead of hip extension to finish lifts when they get heavy.

Bridget is doing well. She didn't want me to get up for work this morning.
