    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    I havne't followed this much but I hear it frequently recommended to LEO-types looking for strength + endurance training, which to me is "How can I run down some perp, tackle him, and then subdue him.": You might also learn a lot from: getting_started - Fitness But I think following that...

    @Lendarios I disagree with pretty much everything you've said, but you've argued your position well and with good intent, so thanks.

    What is safer about a clean pull vs a deadlift?

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    The disagreement we have is two fold: 1. I think you're way overestimating the risk, and I think you've failed to prove that someone attempting to hold proper form is at risk for injury. 2. I think you're undestimating the reward. You can't just replace the deadlift with a back extension. I'm...

    No. I think a small minority of lifters get injured doing deadlifts, but nearly everytime they are doing deadlifts incorrectly. I feel like how obscure of an incident this was (female, crossfit lifter, 4 years ago, wide variety of challenging athletics done) is the example you pull up is...

    Nice example. From a crossfitter of all things. There is a reason why this conversation was kicked off by a video of Trump Jr doing the lift totally wrong and the lifting community reacting to it really strongly.

    Also, @Lendarios maybe I'm in an information bubble, but I haven't seen a single successful lifter (by successful I mean are able to lift a lot of weight) who says that deadlifts should be avoided. Nor have I seen a physical therapist or sport doctor say that either.

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    If there were, say, thousands of lifters who have been doing deadlifts for decades and haven't fucked up their back, would this invalidate your statement here? Can you find me a study that shows people who do deadlifts properly are frequently injured? Or even a guy who is clearly doing lifts...

    Why is this true for deadlifts and not for squats and bench press, or the many other lifts that put a tremendous amount of stress on the body?

    Also re: deadlifts, I'm still following a beginner weight lifting program (phraks GSLP) that has me deadlifting 1x5 once a week. I'm up to 330lbs now and feel pretty good about how difficult it is. Right now I'm limited by my grip strength (I do mixed grip on the heavier lifts) and my ability to...

    I think it should do the opposite. In most other communities, even similar ones, Trex would be much more popular. In here she's treated as a pariah despite having a presence here for the better part of a decade.

    almost beat the first map. I have on more quest before my survivors go into legacy mode or whatever. I'm debating continuing the map to try out new stuff, find better survivors etc, or just complete it and roll a new one. There's a lot wrong with the game, but for me the two big things it's...

    Having fun with this game. I learned that after you complete the tutorial you can start a new community and roll survivors baldur's gate style. I don't like the base I took in the foothills, and I don't like any of the characters I have, so I think I'm going to restart on a different map and...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Probably not. The going theory for how a force could be barely perceptible in labs could be used for something useful was that once we understood the physics behind it, we could harness it. Like the different between the monkeys banging rocks together to make sparks and gasoline engine. Some...

    Changes within the new map: 1) Zombies will spawn in greater numbers across the board, including the ferals, juggernauts, and bloaters. 2) Increased number of "asshole" enclaves, these enclaves will often try to extort you out of doing their bidding. 3) Increased number of survivors in need...

    I've gotten some intense phone spam this year. It dropped to almost zero when I signed up to: https://www.donotcall.gov/ I don't understand it, but I was getting dozens of calls from my area code (734). I wasn't sure what the value was in blocking them because I feel like they'd cycle through...

    Lots of "This game is OK, but could be a lot better if X" in the community. Sucks! I also don't trust UL to fix many of the issues, but maybe they'll surprise me. Usually when a game switches between release to a new platform/engine, it's because they hated the prior one and will want to make a...

    Because all the Objectivist characters were smart, good looking (this part is especially lulzy) and well spoken people.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    That's one way to look at it. The other way to look at it is that if they drop MTX and a bunch of people buy it, it drives home how badly they fucked up with MTX. So really, not buying multiple copies of this game right now just supports MTX in the future. I know I'm up to ten copies so I'm...
