elite_garbage_man posted:Starting out looking like a dog about to take a poo poo is what may be slowing you down with the beginning of the lift. In the beginning e you're trying to lift the majority of the weight with your back and not using your legs and hips until later. You start with your legs and hips in a high position which is why you start the lift with a huge arch. Try getting your rear end lower and your back straighter during your setup. You may have to back off the bar another inch or two depending on your mobility. Starting out with your head up may also help you start out with your back a little straighter instead of starring straight down and hunching. Agreed with all of this. That back is way too rounded and there's no utilization of the legs. It physically hurt me watching that lift.

pkells posted:I just bought a townhouse with a garage big enough for my car and something else, so I'm thinking about doing a home gym. Does anyone have any suggestions for a not-crazy-expensive power rack and bench that I can get? I'm sick of waking up rear end-early to drive 15 minutes to get to the gym by 4am, and then driving 15 mins back so I can get to work by 6:30. I'm willing to spend the extra $$ to not have to wake up at 3:30 to work out. Do you have a college anywhere near you? They're usually a good source of exercise gear at the end of the academic year.

Not only that, but the athletic departments typically sell off their "old" gear after a few years so they can have shiny stuff for recruits. A friend of mine got a gorgeous Olympic platform and rack from university of Maryland for a couple hundred dollars because they were upgrading.

I think he meant cheap out, chimp out doesn't make sense in that context.

I like swimming, personally. But you obviously need access to a pool. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Swimming can be hell on your shoulders though, so don't rush into it and make sure you stretch.

I got this sick new cardio/strength training hybrid program. It's called shoveling snow. Pretty sick little workout.

Yeah fortunately the ortho says its partial, and the tendons are in tact, so surgery is "100% unnecessary" provided I don't do stupid poo poo and try to force my way into the gym to do arm curls (or shovel more). Just gonna do PT for a few weeks and he thinks it'll recover.

I had already been dealing with tennis elbow, so I think the over-exertion from shoveling just did it in. Just glad I don't need surgery (yet).

MurderBot posted:Swimming is amazing for cardiovascular endurance, like probably just as good as running, the only thing it lacks is increasing muscular endurance in the legs. If you added like 1 or 2 days of moderate running, even just 2-3 miles you'd probably be able to shave 30+ seconds off your time, if you're into that kind of thing. You're not swimming right if you're not getting a leg workout hth.

I mean, I'm not going to go into a pissing match about who's more qualified on swimming or whatever, but a good swim workout will definitely activate your upper leg muscles. But yes your power does come from your core predominantly.

I always laugh when people don't rack the other side of their barbell and it goes tumbling over as soon as they lift it up. Also, people that grab two different dumbbells and don't notice.

I've gotten over my hesitation to go beyond my 90 by putting small weights under my heels. It's helped with my flexibility while not compromising on my form. I also have stupidly long legs in relation to the rest of my body.

I used Vibrams for years and then I started running into problems with plantar fasciitis and it band strain. All went away when I switched back to a proper running shoe.

So I can't even do a bicep curl with a one pound weight without noticeable discomfort.

Lingering over someone while they're in the squat rack asking "how many more" after every set is an established justification for murder right?

Physical therapy is great, just make sure you actually do the exercises they give you to do at home/at the gym when you're not at therapy.

You're probably compressing a nerve, but I'd have it checked with a doctor anyway.
