If you want to lift as much weight as you can you have to.

The weird squat lift work safety weirdos teach removes the use of your glutes and hamstrings from the lift placing all the work on your quads and adductors which are really strong but not in as a mechanically advantageous position. It also moves your body behind the center of mass further putting you at a disadvantage.

There is a reason OSHA sets 51 pounds as best case maximum for a single person lifting a load.

Yeah it’s so that they can’t steal my motorcycle, which is chained to four hundred pounds of concrete.

Doesn't matter you are still using your back. You are using your erectors to remain ridged while your rear end uses your spine as a lever and your hips as a fulcrum.

It's basically a suspension bridge, but instead of the cable being above the road and having vertical ties connecting it to the (flat) road deck, the road just follows the natural curve of the cable.

Close enough, AZ. The land was originally a Sundown Ranch that was carved up into multiple housing developments and is just down the street from an Islamic cultural center. Given the state history it's still not a great look for a community that was flagged as a sundown town.

This is so wrong on so many levels. But for one, the fact that it’s easier to lift more weight in a trap bar deadlift is pretty strong proof that having the weight in line with your back (rather than in front of it) provides the most mechanical advantage.

They're designed to be bad and poor quality so people hate watch them to go "lol i could do better than this!! What a load of poo poo!!"

There is occasionally some good ideas implemented badly in them, though, or where tools for the job already exist.

They do, they bite off chunks of coral and grind it to sand to get all the squishy meat bits out of it. Then it comes out as poop.

When you hear about how everywhere used to be an ocean, it's because it took a long time for the fish to poo poo out enough sand to form the continents.

'White sandy beaches' is the giveaway that the sand came from coral, wither broken by waves or chewed and pooped.
