@christiancosmos gotcha, that just seemed like what the previous commenter was saying

@christiancosmos So because sometimes people get hurt using a particular type of equipment that means it shouldn’t be used? Some people get hurt deadlifting, that doesn’t mean nobody should deadlift. I’m not trying to be contrary, but I don’t see any reason why bands can’t be a great aid for...

@bebe127 Why would it put you at risk of injury?

@mfuller My best was 33k on one of the days of Mardi Gras weekend. I have a bad knee, so I was pretty beat up afterwards. 100k would be insane!

@anfilho Thirding rugby! Google “women’s rugby [your location]” ― local teams are always accepting newbies. Great way to make friends and exercise.

@jaz2001 That’s awesome that you’re still able to linearly progress and what a fantastic athletic career! I just meant that for people who are looking to primarily focus on improving their compound lifts, it’s usually a good idea to perform them or variations of them multiple times a week.

@jaz2001 How long have you been training?

@dilynwrcrist Stronglifts isn’t the best program for beginners and this link has some good reasoning as to why. Deadlifting only once a week is a surefire way not to quickly increase your deadlift. r/weightroom has some great resources in their wiki on starter programs and best practices for...

@knsokamd I wouldn’t tuck your chin into your chest (this is what I started out doing) but rather try and look at the space 5-10 feet in front of you. That way you can still see what’s in front of you in your peripheral vision while maintaining a neutral spine.

@hb3 I love her 15 minute full body dumbbell workout video to add on when I’m not satisfied with my workout for the day for whatever reason or when I have very little time.

@thiena The momentum thing may be because they’re powerlifters or lifting heavy weight ― sitting in the hole (at the bottom of the squat) expends a bunch of energy and makes it harder to come back up, so for a powerlifter, “bouncing” out of the hole is much more efficient.

@anna_jackson I would start with your hips just a bit higher. See how they rise at the beginning of the video right before you start the rep? You’re squatting down a hint too low and it’s making your setup less efficient ― try to start with them in the position that they rise to.

@apologeticsguy Pull-ups also involve way more stabilization.
