Holy fucking shit, that semi ran right next to him!

Not even a greek god can outrun that.
All joking aside, yeah, my ass needs to lose some more weight and work on my run again.

6 inches more and that cop would have had gore splattered all over himself.
Holy shit that semi. I was like goddamn that was close.
That didn't look like excessive force to me. He wouldn't stay down, I've learned to do what cops tell you to do. Never ends well if you don't.
And yes, that dumb guy was running, he wouldn't have gotten tazed in the back if he wasn't running lol.

Even if he was running the cop shouldn't have been so stupid as to taser someone right next to traffic.
I don't think a cop needs to be concerned about where someone is when tazing them. Obey or suffer the consequence.

That is a load of shit sorry to say.

I'll meet you at the beach, we can lose weight together:

Not to derail, but that could have easily caused a crazy accident. I don't think it is worth one person's life much less risking a major accident because some dumbass panicked over what was probably a little bit of weed.

Because zapping someone and knowing they are most likely going to fall and not giving a shit about the surrounding environment is just mental.
And what parrot said.
I simply don't have sympathy for someone who disobeys an order from an officer when they have broken the law.
Oh well.

This is a really dangerous way of thinking, which basically gives policemen free reign in how much force they use, because they can always excuse themselves with "they didnt obey".

People of Syria, return to your homes at once.
No.

Fuck that noise, I hate running/walking on sand. After my road marches in it sand can go to hell when it comes to training.
I'll just do my 2 light pole to 1 light pole HIIT training.
I can tell you knowing what I know now that the cop should have been reprimanded for that.
Had the guy simply run into traffic that's one thing, but tazering the guy and leaving him helpless when he's no risk (even though he's not complying) as he runs into traffic is very very questionable.
I'm not saying it isn't questionable. I'm saying regardless, I have no sympathy for the guy.

Okay. Back to fitness.
I recently had to deload on my squat after a form check. Back down 50 pounds or so, not too terrible, as I'd rather do it right. Man real live is feedback critical.
A really serious body builder at my gym helped me out--dude competes and all. Dude is a monster--48 inch chest and 26 inch waist. Not a fan of the BB aesthetic, but his dedication is impressive.
He always helping out random dudes with their form. He's like a free trainer. LOL. Some people hate that, but I don't mind especially as he has the expertise and results behind it.

Think a door frame can take 242 pounds of beefaroni fueled beastmode?

Yeah and I'm also running a Frankenstein version of 5/3/1 with Smolov Jr. for bench where I'm doing lower-body assistance exercise on Wednesday's, so I guess it's understandable.
I'm going to just re-run this cycle of 5/3/1 with the same weights and not reset.

Are there any articles on this? Personally I've been following the slow loading paradigm for my dips/chins/pullups, but I'm curious as to whether simply increasing reps would be a better alternative. My sets are generally 2x10 weighted, if that matters.

Im not really familiar with insanity but I bet it has a lot of squats for cardio right? If you're not doing doing full rom (at least breaking parallel) then you will have imbalances in your knees which can result in pain or injuries.
Brolic Gaoler

That would be an awesome tag. Unfortunately mods aside from Evilore don't really come in here.
Can't wait to try 205 press next week.
Before I know it I'll be pressing 2 plates for reps, feels good man.
Sounds like a good plan, perhaps eat some more carbs and try to get an extra hour of sleep too?
Shit I haven't been getting atleast parallel for a lot of them.. fuck.
Yea, without breaking parallel you're really cheating yourself.
We got the best one though.
Like already said, not going parallel or lower is worse for your knees. Don't listen to the guys that say going full ROM is bad for the knees. When I had my knee injury that didn't go away from just rest, I had to do low weight squats and high reps to help it heal. Some ice after workouts as well. I made the mistake of not doing anything with the knee for the longest which was counterproductive.

Would be nice if he would return our calls though.
Have you ever had your form check?
I'd (re)watch some proper squatting form videos if I were you and deload and go again when your knee is feeling good.
Remember: push those knees out, weight on your heels, chest up.
Definitely true -- but be careful because going ass to grass when you don't have the hip mobility to do so = getting the extra ROM from lower back flexion.
So while it is better on your knees, it could be hurting your lower back which IMO is worse. Everyone who squats should definitely take videos of themselves doing it at least once to see if they are rounding their back.

He's not doing real squats.
Yoooo check my form:

First thing I notice is that you want to keep your shins straighter.
For example
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql-N9hAuxNs&feature=results_main&playnext=1&list=PLA1C0DD4F2674E6DD
He's dragging the bar along his shins upward while keeping them straight.

Keep your shins vertical, drive your hip back. The bar is coming over and out in front of your knees. Not good. It's a minor fix, but keep that in mind when putting the bar down.
If you can't keep your shins completely vertical, then that indicates a flexibility issue (which is common).
I'll give some advice, hoping to be corrected by some of the more experienced guys. Here goes, take it with a grain of salt.
Your bending at the knees to much, this isn't a squat. On the way down you break at the hips and don't bend your knees until the bar passes them, that prevents you from having to move the bar out around your knee and away from the midfoot. Your also setting up with the bar too far forward as well, which is enabling your knee bend. Your shin should only be an inch or so from the barbell when you are standing up, and you only bend your knees to the point that your shins touch the bar, they should remain mostly vertical.

There must have been some chick with an amazing ass on the ceiling for you to be looking up like that. Keep your head straight. Your back should be neutral at all times.
Reset after each rep, the hardest part of a deadlift is getting it off the floor.
Make sure you are leading with your hips, your position is fine IMO. It's more how you are going up than the bar being to close.
You aren't supposed to drive your hips forward until the very end, drive you hips up and then stand up.

Watch as many rippetoe videos as you can. There's a reason he explains the setup as he does.
Step 1 Bar bisects your foot in half (with feet inside shoulder width).
Step 2 Bend at the waist and grab the bar just enough for your hands to clear your legs.
Step 3 Now bend you knees till the bar hits your shins.
Step 4 Chest up, ass back.
Step 5 Drive with your heels and drag the bar up your shins past your knees and to your thigh to lockout.
Step 6 reverse order 5-1 and repeat if you're doing more than 1 rep sets.
This was from memory and how I do my setup, so someone correct me if my shit's fucked up so I don't lead this young lad astray.
When you're done you should have a pink/red line running up your shins and on your knees.

It really is odd especially given the content of what we are talking about. Typically fitness anything is like talking politics and religion, it's always messy and everyone has the best idea.
This is probably my favorite community on GAF.

Yup. I think the regulars understand that the more you know about fitness, the more you realize you don't know. A lot of unlearning is necessary up front and continues every day.
Granted, it looks like it's just 135 pounds, but you might want to consider not lowering it so slowly, especially once you get it past your knees (going down). You're going to burn yourself out when the weight starts getting heavy. When I get the weight past my knees going down, I pretty much just let it fall, albeit with my hands still grasping the bar.
I would be interested to see a video of your form lifting something closer to what you think is near your max lift. That looked awfully easy.
