Your spine shouldn't get out of alignment. Where the gently caress do you guys get this poo poo? Chiropractors?

From you dad!

If you don't rest the weight between sets you just need to use a weight you can keep proper form with through the whole set. Hence it being hard.

It's it better to lift very heavy weights for lots of reps or very heavy weights for less reps?

even then you're bound to run into a bunch of nonsense from someone who can't understand why you'd rather write a two line function in your lovely throwaway code than three pages of boilerplate to conform to whatever coding style they crusade for

In a week we're having a backyard barbecue at my gym topped off with a cake eating contest. It's gonna own.

We'll do some caber tosses and throw around some atlas stones too but if I'm being honest we're only including that so we can still pretend to be better than Planet Fitness.

That and even as someone who enjoys lifting heavy stuff, almost everyone wants to look good at the very least as a secondary effect of their lifting and starting strength is poo poo for that goal.

If you don't lift at all SS is fine for looking good. At least better than the randomly doing whatever the guy at the planet fitness front desk suggests
