why my boy puts dried fruit and raisins in it.
while i understand the benefit(s) of wearing a belt, i’m still learning to create that pressure/stability naturally

I know, that’s the problem. I’d rather lift heavy than get used to it.
Lmao uncle bens. You uncultured swine.Basmati rice.Midas eat some used kitty litter or lick the dust off the bottom of the shopping cart wheel.
Rather eat some regular-*** "Ben's" then any type of basmati rice.
Also, Jasmine is the GOAT so your order was wrong.
Put some respeck on jasmine rice's name. I ain't gonna say it no mo.

Chalk+ mixed grip is undefeated for me.
Idc about muscle imbalances or none of that.
While core strength is a thing, you cannot create that pressure of giving your abs something to push up against naturally.
Regular intra-abdominal pressure is not the same thing as knowing how to brace and wearing a belt.
yea i stand corrected on that, better put i rather put that energy in building that stability than using a belt & getting used to pushing against it
The two are not mutually exclusive and a belted squat will always be stronger, but to each his own.
the in-line images are comedy! a few people at the gym have actually recommended that if i wanted to put more weight on the bar for squats i didn’t have to go past parallel & get a belt but my primary goal was to increase mobility i’m cool with the slow grind as far as increasing my squat…plus increased weight equals increased risk(s)
I mean I squat more than most people in the gym and I've posted in here how my squat has gotten too low (low-bar is ATG), so I don't know if mobility has anything to do with wearing a belt or lifting heavier weights.
I've noticed when I cut my ROM to just below parallel it's a lot easier to pop out of the hole but it takes more focus than my default squat depth. Other lifters comment on my hip mobility all the time so idk.
As long as you're where you want to be (or on the way there), keep doing what you're doing.
And stay away from that basmati rice.
that rice is gonna have you hit a pr dude.
as far as belts go I don't always use one but they help me for sure. I can get damn close to my max without one though.
white rice has been there for thousands of years. all this b.s. about rice being unhealthy is clearly misinformation and a drive for food alternative which can be costly and unhealthy as well. they are the same as those doctors casting doubts about covid and vaccines so I understand that there is a motive along the line. my 2 cents regarding the matter is that white rice is safe. as any other food, it can be unsafe when eaten in super-size quantities. point is, eat in moderation. I understand the fact that people struggle with the health and diet but finger pointing at white rice as the culprit doesn't solve the problem. can we also blame white sugar now as well? how about alcohol?Hard day today, mentally.
Got into a convo with some dude about white rice m.. I grew up on white rice and eat it daily in small amounts to get my carbs. He just had to tell me how bad white rice is and how brown rice is much better and all that. My view was that white rice isn’t horrible for you, it’s mostly bad for you when done in excess, as are a lot of foods in this world. I like rice as a consistent carb in my diet, it’s simple and doesn’t have added ingredients really like bread, pasta, etc. Plus it’s a comfort thing having grown up eating it.
Here I was thinking I’m doing as much right as I realistically can to balance a happy/livable lifestyle during my cut.. now I feel like an idiot who can’t do s*** right. Like I have no clue what I’m doing.
I know I’m overreacting but goddamn man. I’ve lost 60lbs in the last 9 months, and in 1 day a bad convo has my depression is kicking up and I’m doubting myself and this entire journey I’m on. Legit was thinking to myself I should just quit wth am I even doing if I’m eating a terrible food every day and just ruining my body anyways, even when I’m trying to turn things around.
Poor guy eating boxed rice. You can do better man, i believe in you.It's just Ben's now.
And even that is better than basmati rice.
