The cat is not mine :(

I like cycling, powerlifting, bad video games and metal.
Otherwise, I occupy my time with various bits in RISC-V land.

@palmer Nono, I meant that my question from my last post was probably rhetorical.

@palmer Maybe that;s a rhetorical question.

@palmer why does every conversation on there feel like the people barely know what they're talking about? When there's so many things being said that I know are false, how do I trust the stuff I know nothing about?

Heh, last time I tried deleting 10,000s of emails from a folder in gmail it fell over and didn't delete any. Now it seems to take forever, but it at least works.

@asb Yeah, having some move line commands is something I always miss when using unconfigured vim from a buildroot image or w/e.

I wrote "like this" twice in a sentence in an email and now that is all I will think about for the rest of the evening.

@ljs Heh, I read that article a few days ago & it pissed me off... But I don't think that the article's sentiment would be particular controversial for the typical reader of the paper.

@sven @ljs same thing happened to me actually, hit a wall just past 100. Took a switch of program to break through.

@ljs I dunno if I mentioned it, but kinda follows from the leverage stuff - the angle of the incline can make a big difference, the ratio would vary.

> Nice numbers btw

It's a long time since I did barbell incline, so I had to look back at my logs to get a ratio, I don't do those numbers at the moment, but hopefully I'll be back there soon... GL with the 100! :)

@sven @ljs Yeah, if you've got the spare depth (or fine enough safety increments) to place the safeties where you can just get lower and out it's the best option for sure.

@ljs @sven maybe the order of my replies was confusing, but that was a reply to the bit about a fail that caused me to lose a lot of confidence.

@ljs @sven /do not/ practice doing that, failing that way was not something I ever want to do again. Failing by going really deep so that bar lands on the safeties or the hop forward are the way to go, what's in that video hurt my shoulder and I never wanna do it again.

@sven @ljs heh, I found a video. Was a max attempt at like 2.25x bodyweight at time time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxdyN5i5JtQ

@ljs @sven This is a pretty good example of the latter method: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bC1JV4iSsjA

@ljs @sven If your safeties are high enough, yup. If not, you just push your elbows & chest forward and kinda hop out as it falls off your shoulders.

@ljs @sven the bench you have though is pretty nice, most benches in gyms don't even have safeties

> Safety arms help but the abort is still fucking horrible anyway.

I used to be a lot more cavalier about it, now I refuse to squat without them. The normal abort of dropping the bar backwards is something you can practice if you're worried, it's a good confidence builder :)

@ljs @sven different leverages make a huge difference, the weights on a lot of machines for the same exercise are hard to compare - but 30 kg does seem like a lot.
