I haven’t run it but it looks pretty gnarly

I ran it several years ago at 40ish years old. I didn’t think it was too much and my deadlift really did well with it. No way can I pull off 5 days a week nowadays with my schedule.

silverback is intense but not the volume of strongville. it would be a good choice. then do strongville after but strongville is a mother

if you want lower body focus, the two glute programs, lets get peachy and house of the rising buns are great programs for that. tougher than you think for sure.


What about Brickhouse? It has a lower every day, and carries every other.

I don't get the Mark hate. I liked the guy, thought he got a raw deal. He was a good straight man in a show with tons of quirky characters. Maybe I'm biased because I just have never liked Adam Scott. Very punchable face.

Best character by far was Jean-Ralphio.

I'm currently rewatching the entire series now. Mark gets hate because the show was pretty bad when he was there. P&R actually starts getting good while Mark is still in the show, some people forget that.

I personally think the show is best when Ben and Leslie start becoming a thing. Ben is hilarious to me.

The worst character is S1 Andy.
:lol: I realized with my first son that I was holding my breath for a very long time when laying him down. Man, nothing like laying down a sleeping baby and they immediately wake up when hitting the bed.

I’ve never seen a modern team try and run outside/wide zone/stretch with a damn 6” or foot to foot split. Add in slow arse running backs and last seasons results are what you get.

Who’s at fault? Normally I would say the OC but he was playing the hand dealt. It was apparent early on that needing trickery to get a first down on short yardage was a bad sign.

It’s a mix of fat asses that can’t move, bad technique, and a lack of talent. I look for their to be improvement on at least 2 of the 3 I listed

I just said I was against it, but hell, I use it. It is very nice to simply ask a question and get immediate results for a study I was looking for rather than spending an hour looking for it. My field is specialized so AI isn't always correct. Not yet anyway
I'm against AI and data centers but that cat is out of the bag. It's the American way to see an upcoming weapon to use against us and throw everything at it in an overwhelming fashion.

The solution is to fix our work visa process.

This is the answer. I'm in construction. Mexicans are worth multiple white or black laborers. For the "pay moar money people", our company has almost double laborer pay since covid, yet the workforce is more useless than ever. Guys...they are useless. It's unsustainable.

Off topic but good mechanics are becoming scarce.

I like you so I won't continue to argue. Agree to disagree

judge away, there are people doing different phases, may be a concentric only phase or they are trying to manage systemic fatigue and the eccentric portion of the DL hurts that big time.

point is.... you dont have a clue why they are doing something


Managing systemic fatigue? Bro come on. Yes I'm sure the 405 deadlifter needs to worry about the eccentric portion of his lift :rotflmao:

Were you not eligible for a disc replacement (ADR) instead?

I had multiple levels and severe arthritis. Regarding mobility, I can’t notice the restriction unless I need to look directly overhead. I changed a light bulb by feel today because I couldn’t look directly at the ceiling :lol:

How old are you? My doc suggested I wait at least a decade if I could.


46. They called my discs bulging for 2 years. They were herniated and "bone on bone." When a surgeon who has done thousands says "this is one of the worst I've seen and are you sure you don't have symptoms on the right side as well"....I suppose surgery is the answer.

A drop of less than a foot will bend the handles?


Less than a foot probably not, but that's not what the video showed. What it showed was dumbbells eventually getting damaged.
FYI for anyone still struggling. I finally had the C5-C7 disc fusion last month. Pain and numbness completely gone. I didn't realize how much pain I was in until it was fixed. The recovery sucked, and having to wait probably 6 months before I can lift like I once did also will suck, but damn it is worth it.
quote:

deadlifts are going to be loud if you are lifting heavy even if not dropping from the top


I'll judge anyone negatively that finishes a deadlift at the top and drops it from waist high. That's ridiculous.
that damages the dumbbell. That's how handles get bent. It's really easy to just put those on your chest, raise legs and then swing up.
I don’t lend money often but when I do I never expect to be paid back. If I do, it’s a bonus.
This isn’t one word but I heard the phrase “crawl, walk, run” and I wanted to punch the guy. As in, “for this project to be successful we have to crawl, walk, run”. Then, “this goes back to the crawl, walk, run I mentioned earlier “. JFC

Can someone tell me how we got away from the early 90s small pickups? A ford ranger or S10 would be perfect. As a dad of a new driver, there's no way in hell I'm spending over 20k for a used vehicle with 100k miles on it. He's driving a 2003 f150. I really wish I had my 95 single cab silverado back.
