I like that they didn't try to tell the origin story again. We all know how Spider-Man got started at this point.

Also, seeing him as a high school kid again works really well.


yeah I liked that too. We knew how he turned into Spider-Man no need to reinvent that.

I did find the high school Peter good as well. And his Samoan fat friend was hilarious

Workout question for lifting goons. My deadlift is starting to exceed my grip strength. Should I get some of those lifting straps or work on my grip before continuing to increase weight

Using an alternating grip can help (one hand facing forward, the other facing back). Also, farmer walks are good, or after my heavy work I'll drop the weight down to 225 or whatever and just do a couple single rep sets where I pause at the top for 30-60 seconds.

mix your grip, but only do it once you get to about 80% of your 1RM.

do NOT use straps for regular training just because it's getting hard. Hands go before your lower back does, and adding straps into the equation before you're a pretty seasoned lifter is a one way ticket to snap city.

like what's your 1rm if you're comfortable posting it

Just starting out with serious strength training so my 1 rep max deadlift is only at 225. I felt my grip going doing 200x5 so I will probably just try mix grip

yeah, you're still learning the movement. Don't introduce straps into this, because you're probably still at the point where your legs can push more than your core can support.

Just try out mixed grip. If you're not sure which hand to go over/under, just reach down and do it. Whichever hand goes wherever, there ya go.

I alternate my over/under sides each set. If doing an odd number of sets, I do the 1st set with regular overhand grip.

Don't use straps, you need to increase your grip strength along with everything else.

those guys make their money by training people that want to get in shape.

although there's really not that much they can tell you you can't find online, but a lot of people need that one on one engagement to stay motivated, which is fine.

olympic lifting is a different story. you need someone there for you rep for rep.

raw broccoli florets. Used to just eat them like popcorn.
cucumber and tomato salad with dill, capers, feta cheese, maybe oil & vinegar
we eat a lot of romaine, it's a really good lettuce
slooooowly sautee onion, carrot, celery and you have mirepoix, the base for tons of different dishes. Add bell pepper for creole, maybe without the carrots.

joe's special: brown a pound of ground beef, drain the fat. Remove the meat, sautee half an onion diced along with a couple three cloves of garlic. When it's nice and clear, mix in lots of fresh or frozen spinach, get that mostly cooked, and then throw back in the meat, cook another minute, add in three or four eggs and scramble it all together. Add plenty of cracked black pepper and salt to taste. Packed with protein, vitamins, not too much fat, low carbs. Awesome. My favorite way to eat spinach.

chop a whole head of iceberg lettuce into quarters. Grab a quarter and wash it with cold water and then eat it, just like that, just fuckin' eat it straight, no condiments, nothing. It's good man. Also just eat a carrot like that too, gently caress it why not? Carrots are actually quite sweet, if you pay attention, it's like dang this is a nice sweet carrot.
