rockSlayer,

In my decade of using reddit, I very rarely posted and maybe commented a couple times a week. I was a certified lurker. In the months of using lemmy, I became a mod for a community, comment nearly every day, and have far surpassed the number of posts I ever made on Reddit. Lemmy is just a nice place to be, and I like interacting with people here

rockSlayer,

Yep! It’s a trick my coach taught me in highschool, it works great and keeps it simple

I used to do a lot of lifting. It’s very easy to get the technique wrong, making it more likely to get a back injury. Arching can work out, but it’s a great way to get hurt. Same with bouncing out of a squat.

rockSlayer,

I think it’s worth saying that they are advanced techniques that have a decent potential for injury. Inexperienced people should avoid them entirely. Even experienced lifters should have someone trained watching them as a spotter. Remember, your back needs to be arched for the entire set. Anything else is likely to cause injury.

I very much disagree about bouncing out of a squat. Maybe while warming up or with light weight it’s ok, but with heavy weights, the safest technique is a steady and smooth motion while staring at the top of the rack to force a straight back.
