« Last post by pamith on September 11, 2026, 08:48:10 PM »Bro... are you being serious? If you are, what did you weigh when you did that? I think I did about 950 or 970 (430 or 440kg) but it was basically just the bar moving half an inch for one second, I very briefly had it in my hands LOL. I thought I had uploaded it somewhere but can't find it. It was just an odd lift with no real purpose behind it other than to see where I failed, grip (no straps) or otherwise. 500 is very good at that BW but that rack lift would be truly, truly insane :I think I was still about 175 lbs, maybe 180 lbs I'm not sure, yeah we can lift insane amounts of weight in certain short range movements lol, I always sucked at the deadlift due to my long torso and short arms/legs, but i'm good at the squat and bench

Right wingers used to think women shouldn't act like cheap whores
Not that I don't enjoy looking at beautiful women, but still... since "leftists" was mentioned. Leftists were typically for pornography, free sex and homosex and so on. Now these are all right wing values.
All this just mentioned without excessive sanctimoniousness

I have widened my grip over the years to compensate and keep the back straighter. Allegedly it's sub optimal for weight but I've found that it suits me. I suppose if you feel safer, you pull harder.
I think there's a rounded back like in the vid and there's hunching up and forming a leverage point at your mid back and loading everything through that.
Is it just the upper back that's rounded? I have a bit of kyphosis but my lower back doesn't round when lifting. Some demand everyone must have a perfectly straight back but peoples natural postures differ and it may not be harmful to lift as you're built. Google says there's no such thing as the "right" posture
Konstantin Konstantinov had that rounded upper back which some noobs criticized but he was just built like that. Here on that brutal banded deadlift.
Having a wider grip might not be suboptimal for some as far as max loads, it might turn on the quads and actually help, sort of like some have stronger floor deads compared to racks. I have tried snatch grip deads because I've tried everything. Knees get in the way and it may feel awkward but perhaps it could be helpful. Deficit deads and snatch grip deads help if someone has a hitching issue. IME you almost can't hitch when doing these.

« Last post by rocket on September 11, 2026, 07:09:13 PM »Why film that? He looks like ass and the rows are stupid. Why want attention for nothing?
He has to be developmentally challenged in the ability to emulate. How else could he watch other people doing something, do it so terribly and then look back at the footage and be unable to discern the glaring difference? We all mess up trying to emulate but to record it, watch over and not see is the true hallmark of the autist.
Like Hank, he combines that blindspot with a bit of ego and thus, he can't easily take the comments. He got smashed in the deadlift video and spent most of the comments trying to defend himself.

Think of any software you come into contact with like an Iphone, Android phone, Youtube, Netflix, Google, Spotify, Windows, Excel, Solidworks, etc. In five to ten years the there will be thirty knock off products of equal quality. What are the ramifications of that?
Just think of how disruptive Netflix, Spotify, and Youtube have been to the entertainment industry, or Google to search. Now multiply that by a thirty. This is exactly what all the Tech companies are worried about. There are moats that are going to vanish over night.
Cost comparison by model. This shows how much more Anthropic is charging for their models compared to the Chinese. The Latest Chinese models are as good as Anthropic used to be just six months ago.
