momoxstarx Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 One time I was doing my squats and had my headphones on pretty much full blast. Some scrawny dude about my height (I'm 5'2") comes up to me and taps my shoulder. I take off my headphones to hear him ask, "Hey do you need a spot?" Um.. no but I'll take that as a compliment?

momoxstarx Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Oh Oh. Another time I was doing squats, this dude was doing deadlifts on the other squat rack. He was pulling around 400. I remember feeling jealous. All was fine until this other big bro comes in and starts asking both me and this dude about how many sets we got left. I assume he didn't like our answers cuz instead of waiting, he decides to go and grab a bar from one of the benches and proceeds to use the rack that first dude was still using. He loads up 45on each side and strains to do his half squats. The other dude was like wtf? Then a friend of this bro comes and starts chatting with him all jovial and shit. He's just cranking out half squats.. I felt bad for the other dude. He got his rack stolen.

I-Jo Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 why- you don't really NEED a squat rack to DL. I'll give up my rack for someone who wants to you know... actually squat. you can dead lift anywhere. granted- that was done ALL wrong- but still. why hog a rack to do DL if you can do them anywhere?

I-Jo Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 I think she more just let him have it for walking in front of her bar. mini flip out (for a soft spoken person that's probably a big flip out LOL) Link to comment
Timmy M Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 off topic but that's a bit of an odd form (not bad but noticeably different), what with the little pop at the end and the near squat at the beginning, but hey, taint bad and its heavy, that dude needed a kick in the teeth Link to comment

I would have thought her hips could have been a little lower so she could flatten out her back a bit more. The pop at the end is her bringing her hips through and shoulders back so her lift isn't disallowed in powerlifting comps. I could be wrong though. I'll gladly hear someone more experienced critique the lift. Level 1 SheHulk Warrior [str: 1] [Dex : ] [sta: ] [Con: ] [Wis: 1] [Cha: ] Challenge 2: Project Krisptonite Link to comment
I-Jo Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Oh. I saw it- at 35 seconds- she flips the bird- right after she pops her guard in (mouth guard? I guess).. I didn't see anything mind blowing. - her back could have been flatter- but I know on my big lifts its far from dead spot on LOL. That chit looks heavy and she picks up pretty cleanly for the most part. I don't understand the rush under or to the bar- lots of squatters do it- and I don't get it. I'm much more slow to set up. it seems weird to do anything quickly to me. Shrug. to each their own. Link to comment
Timmy M Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 her first set up is maybe a bit high but then she sort of squats down and then brings the bar up and the pop just seemed a bit jerky to me is all, and of course, back rounding etc Link to comment
