  • Okay, so we should be distrustful of pizzacake in general because her work is popular and relevant to a country she lives 75 miles away from. And this is not fallacious.

    But when it comes to literal self proclaimed white supremacists who makes comics where the punchline is “n____”, we have to give each and every argument they make the benefit of the doubt because ultimately someone’s credibility in general cannot ever be used to judge their stance on individual topics?

    Edit: so bro posts open and self admitted nazi propaganda and instantly blocks anyone who thinks that isn’t totally irrelevant. Curious





  • Yeah, she’s testing the weight to make sure it really is heavy and not a prop. Feeling it for herself, she then congratulates the lifter

    It harkens back to very old strongman shows. Often they would have guest come up to try a weight (or pass the implement around the audience if possible, such as a metal rod they would later bend or a hot water bottle they would later inflate)

    It’s actually kind of a current issue with powerlifting as a spectator sport as well. You can tell lifters are struggling and it’s very exciting when they fail a lift and 5 people need to step in to bail them out. But “300kg” is just a number to most people, it’s hard to really convey to onlookers what an insane amount of weight that actually is to have on your back at all, never mind to squat with






  • The post is good! I like the post! Thank you for posting :3

    I just like to shill for resistance training, it transforms people’s lives. Posts like these are a great opportunity for me to do so, where it’s mentioned offhandedly and maybe with a misconception I can talk about

    I’ve had several people on fedi reach out to say these comments have helped them out in some way, so it’s just something I like to keep up with :3


  • Yeah :3 Just based on teaching people to do various chest exercises, wrist pain is usually caused by holding the implement too far up the hand, creating a moment arm that bends your wrist open. Around 150-200lbs is usually when people stop being able to tolerate such a grip

    If you search this page for “bench grip” it will take you to an image of three hands, the rightmost of which has a red line and a green line. Best image I’ve ever found for communicating the spot. If you get it down you should feel no discomfort at all in your wrists
