>>76972512Should I be pushing or puckering my anus while bracing? ie. standard or reverse kegel
>>76972613for anything above 2pl8 squat and 3pl8 deadlift use squat plugs
>>76972512Did you use a belt?
>>76972618Shut up
>>76972512>doc says valsalva maneuver caused enlarged aortaNo it didn'tDon't post shit like this on here we have enough to deal with already
>>76972512A better cue is to brace as if you're going to get punched in the stomach and push out your abs instead of inhaling into them.
>>76972649I for one totally believe his doc is genuinely retarded
>>76972512
>>76972756the one time i tried to get technical with shit like that i gave myself a tiny hernia. fuck that noise i'm sticking to what feels natural
>>76972628a belt would have saved him, he would actually have something to brace against thus not needing to strain himself like a fucking retard
>>76972821Any day now, right?
>>76972826Yep. Don't even think about it. It's literally just what your body naturally does to brace before doing something hard. You should not 'consciously' do anything.
>>76972512You're telling me, I just got denied a 100k+ police job for having ventricular ectopy. My heart pumps irregularly. Lifting does not keep you healthy, it harms health.
>>76972512Vaxx status?
>>76972649Lifting WILL cause an enlarged aorta and enlarged veins in general, duh. The problem is doctors are retarded and don't realize that something abnormal can be good, which an enlarged aorta and strong cardiovascular system is. Same with >>76973040 your system is overly efficient, or you're having adrenaline dumps causing the extra heartbeat. To doctors who are all out of shape nerds, they don't understand that our bodies have adapted differently.
>>76973152I'll let you in on a secret the way it "enlarges" is the walls get THICKER. Which means LESS VOLUME inside as well as IT'S HARDER TO MAKE CARDIO ADAPTATIONS from actual cardio.So really your cardio is WORSE and it's HARDER TO IMPROVE IT.There's a reason even natty powerlifters drop dead like FLIES.
>>76972618this is why i limit myself to 2pl8 squat
>>76972512You shouldn't have taken the (((covid))) vax
>>76973040>You're telling me, I just got denied a 100k+ police job for having ventricular ectopy. My heart pumps irregularly. Lifting does not keep you healthy, it harms health.it's the hemorrhoids inducing valsalva and retarded weights cause u're flexing errything like a fucking chimp that are to blame this: ------------------------------------------------->>76974130 >>>76974031 >>extremely externally rotated hip from squats, deadlifts, hyperextensions, hip thrusts, leg presses, BSS, lunges, benchpress and ohp ( u do hip thrust in it), good mornings, zerchers - u get the idea>>>76974043 >>>76974065 this unfucks your squat/deadlift hips and with that pelvis and spine alignment followshamstring curl with rubber on heel and as it leaves heel pressed with toes, knee locked on the floor (prone - u are being pulled by your foot) for hastrings and gastrocnemiusthe internal hip thingie (pictured) linked above also doubles as biceps femoris u do not get from>>extremely externally rotated hip from squats, deadlifts, hyperextensions, hip thrusts, leg presses, BSS, lunges, benchpress and ohp ( u do hip thrust in it), good mornings, zerchers - u get the ideagluteus maximus and VMO - seated glute kikback into rubber band (i use combo of rope and power-band and proper anchor point on wall), sit on one buttock and upper thigh and slide working foot on the floor kicking back--------------------------------------------------and some pace walking with good posture is ok, unless you again try to "take it to failure" - never do that, ever
>>76972512>>76974170grok is this true?
>>76972901
>>76973152>lifting really heavy, i.e. squat for 60-90 seconds every other day will cause your veins to enlarge to the point of requiring surgery >this is a doctor saying thateither that doctor is a retard or op is lying - how the fuck does a doctor deduce that it is the 60sec exertion every other day(thats show to be overwhelmingly beneficial in a million studies) that cause his veins to enlarge and not the other billion factors like diet/sleep/genetics leading to hypertensionif you believed op you might be too gullible for 4chan
How does valsalva stretch your aorta when you're increasing your abdomen's inner pressure and your aorta is inside your abdomen? If anything it's getting squeezed.
>>76972512>enlarged aortaits a good thing retard means it will take more cholesterol to clog
>>76972618KekIf you need a plug for a lmao3pl8?! Skwat, you were never going to make it anyway >>76972613Pull in on the anus, create as much internal tension as possible with everything >>76972512These types of drawings are always wrong Knees should be way farther forward, knees should be out sideways, ass should be down so you remain vertical A truly efficient lowbar squat is almost identical to a high bar squat T. 4pl8 atg @<12% bf natty skwatter
>>76974520>T. 4pl8 atg @<12% bf natty skwatterweight/height/training age?
>>769745396'4, 26
>>76974546>6'4 sure, I'm 8'11 btw
>>76974552KekIf I was try to be more impressive on that squat stat, id lie lower about my height, not the other wayIt's literally less impressive because I'm 6'4
>>76974552How short are you that 6'4 is inconceivable?Depending on where you live in the USA, it's fairly common
>>76974638>average male height is like 5'9where do you live that 6'4 in America is common
>>76974678Northern Midwest I always wondered about average height by race cuz I have 6 close friends I graduated with that are over 6' lololol
>>76973152>>76973310This, like everything else in the thread, is nonsense. Stupids with a little bit of knowledge is the worst thing.
>>76974520>ass should be down so you remain vertical>A truly efficient lowbar squat is almost identical to a high bar squatHow is it possible to be this stupid? How?>>76974546Let's see this 4 plate vertical squat of yours
>>76974617Depends on proportions but as a rule its harder to squat for taller people. Unless you're all torso no legs
>>76974707>duhhh it's just wrong durrr>0 argument providedYour post is the worst itt right now
Why does my left hip flexor hurt after squatting
>>76974711>The bar position moves 2.5">ItS a DiFfErEnT mOvEmEnTWhat retarded Kool aid have you been drinking lmaoooooThe only bad thing about SS is his absolutely atrocious drawing on the cover
>>76974802Squat strength will always be related to athletic background and bodyweight Height just doesn't fucking matterA 5'4 unathletic skelly will have the same issues as a 6'4 unathletic skelly
>>76974821>what is leveragesure lol
>>76974851You don't understand the human body at all, huh lil guyMaybe it's time to stop posting
>>76974811did you remember to tape your penis so it doesnt swing around? the motion causes asymmetrical weight distribution and could lead to one hip getting disproportionately loaded
>>76974706I'm from the northwoods. No average people here are fucking 6'4, get real.
