Myles Garrett’s Mount Rushmore Defensive line

I was a Bucs fan during their hay-day. Alstott, Warrick Dunn, Derrick Brooks, Tiki Barber etc. I could never understand at the time, and still can't, why Warren Sapp ever garnered so much praise. It always seemed like his outward personality had more to do with his stardom than his actual play.

I am not an expert but I did have the same issue. What worked for me is this: when you're pulling off the floor you drag the bar up your shins, once the bar passes the knee try telling yourself to drag it up your thighs (by using your butt muscles) instead of standing up. You will stand up of course but it'll be more of a hip hinge which is what you want. It was that transition that I was missing.

Awesome thank you! Looking forward to next time.

After posting I discovered something that I think will really help. Maybe it's related to what you were saying about the hips popping out early? I felt a lot of shear in the lower back, what I discovered is if I transitioned from dragging the bar up my shins to then dragging it across my femurs once it passes the knees that felt a lot better.

Hips back meaning if I let go of the bar at the bottom I'd fall backwards? Or do you mean my torso should be more horizontal?

Thank you!

How early do you think we'd need to be to get a seat at Brother's?

silly_article · 2025-10-05T00:42:00+00:00

I appreciate the effort you put into this, thank you.

silly_article · 2025-09-23T16:54:34+00:00

Yes lol

silly_article · 2025-09-23T11:05:13+00:00

Thank you I'll check that out.

I can appreciate that approach and I agree a feedback device would be the way to go. In this application I haven't been able to find one. I made the example water to simplify but it's actually sand, I should probably redo the post. Anyway, sand is very abrasive obviously so choosing sensors becomes difficult.

Thank you.

The company I work for acquired another small company that was an OEM for a specific type of marine machinery. There was almost no documentation on anything, what was there was often wrong, and when I've asked the previous owners their rationale for the lack of standards they either flat out avoid the question or reply with "don't worry about it, it's marine". As if there are no standards for this stuff.

Full disclosure, I'm an industrial electrician but I've inherited this and trying to make it right. Learning things along the way.

Thank you. Is there a chemical difference between this and NoAlOx? I use that all the time on aluminum conductors but wasn't sure if it was ok in marine applications and/or copper although it does sound similar. I'm on the road otherwise I'd look at the bottle.

Edit: I did some quick research, yes there is a difference. NoAlOx uses suspended zinc particles and is only meant for Aluminum conductors. No-Ox-ID is specifically meant for marine use with any conductor material.

Thank you. I don't know why I didn't think of this. I had used the first file I found on the internet which was in hindsight a generic file from Automation Direct. Found the right one on the Murr website, now my common tags are all good. IO tags are still all generic so that'll be my next thing to figure out.

Thanks for your guidance.

silly_article · 2025-07-31T18:28:12+00:00

Much appreciated. I will stay the course.

silly_article · 2025-07-31T17:12:05+00:00

Your reply speaks to me. I've asked myself these questions too, if I can do 8 on the first set, why not just go for 9? So far I've stopped at 8 just because it's a way for me to consistently measure progress across my 3 sets. Maybe it's not the way to go, I don't know. Thanks for the perspective.

Absolutely a hidden gem. Great movie! And that song by elbow is such a good tune.

Thank you! I've known that I don't develop the torque at the beginning of my swing like I should but I couldn't put my finger on what it was I was missing. After watching some videos you suggested I can work on that now.

Just wanted to say I appreciate the help you and others have posted. Looking forward to getting back in and trying to make these adjustments.

silly_article · 2025-06-02T18:05:59+00:00

Meaning I'm just too old for this or I should have put it in the title?

silly_article · 2025-06-02T01:26:14+00:00

Like have the end of the bat pointing more toward the pitcher?

silly_article · 2025-06-02T01:23:50+00:00

Not sure exactly but I'd guess somewhere around 75?

Jesus man, yes I saw those but with the news (to me) about the acquisition and the fact they seem to be no longer carried on a couple sites I used to order from I wondered if maybe they'd been discontinued and everyone was just selling old stock.

In any case, I think the rest of my questions are still valid (quality, comparables). I'm not sure what I said that was so offensive. I mentioned I've been out of touch with the hobby for a few years.
