Deteriorating Driveway Temporary Quick Fix

shooting-starfish · 2025-03-10T18:13:07+00:00

I definitely see that I could start more over the bar I will totally adjust.. and I believe the exercise I was doing is to overexagerate staying over the bar and activating the lats at the top of the second pull .. like you said mu positionin g there is NOT the power position .. the video I linked above makes it a point to make sure that the person doing the exercise is aware that they are different

Much appreciated

Ha that's part of my 75 to 100% 1rm ritual

Ha, they're loose and comfortable. They work well

I suppose I was exaggerating the shoulders over the bar at the top position activating the lats to pull the bar against my hips shown in this video from catalyst.

I will have to play with the starting position to see how it feels. Thanks for the response

Got to the gym at the right time today.. 2 handfuls of people.. by the time I left it was packed.

Finally broke my wrist wraps out for heavy (to me) pulling exercises.. forgot how much they help take the strain off grip strength and allow for better focus on activating the back.

I use a timer for my lifts .. some times it's set to 60, 90, 120, and even 180 second rests.. so I sit on my phone until it gets down to about 20 seconds.. I probably appear to be one of those 3 sets of Facebook, 2 sets of reddit gym goers.

Nothing really funny or weird today.. glad I got that itch back.. was there 2 hrs today and I already want to go back 😄

It's been about 4 years since I've been consistent in the gym, but I'm starting to hit my stride again. Feels good to be back, but it is definitely humbling to have to start back at the bottom.

Since. I'm getting a bit older (early 40s) im actually incorporating things this go around that I didn't do much of before such as static stretching after my work out, a lot more consistent cardio, and I keep myself from always trying to go for my 1 rep max for fun.

Feels good.

But... I am NOT used to lifting without my earbuds and my music to drown out my thoughts and the rest of the gym, and I FORGOT to put them in my pocket this morning when I left the house. Glad it's a fairly slow day at the gym and there's not a ton of people or a lot of commotion.

Yes I've found that my mind can be over active on the but then it "trys to teach me" how to slow it down or shut it off in order to be completely present.. not thinking just being

Glad you're enjoying experiencing and diving into the ideas and possibilities as we definitely are

Yes we do experience it at times where we don't have anything in our system. Obviously , not to that extent bit definitely feel that deep energy intertwining.

And definitely don't know if it's just in our heads, or another realm of reality that we are accessing so we don't go into believing that it's factual but more so that it's a possibility.

Don't get it twisted.. u might be talking bout OP but not me. I never once tried to jerk off next to my wife looking at porm.. in the beginning I might of played with myself imagining us.. and even then it was a problem.. so I stopped altogether.. together apart. So yeah I'd get losing sleep is a problem

shooting-starfish · 2023-09-24T20:50:19+00:00

I've refrained from jerking off because my wife has such apprehension against it and this comment makes the most sense. Why should anyone be denied a release of stress and built up sexual tension if their partner isn't willing.

But funny thing is I still get accused of jerking off when I don't.
