There's always form improvements your can make, but I don't think that's the problem here. I see from your other comment that you're following GZCLP. The program prescribed a deload when you can no longer progress in weight. Have you done that? Are you sleeping and eating well?


As for form, there are a few things I'd try to work on if you want to optimize how much you can squat, but if you just care about getting a good workout, only the first point would matter imo.

  • Depth: Consistency is key, and the best way to achieve that is either going to parallel or as low as possible. You will have to decrease the weight if what we see in the video is the depth you're used to.
  • Unracking: you're basically doing a partial good-morning to unrack. That'll sap away the energy you have available for your squat, but it looks like you might not be able to change that with the rack you're currently using.
  • Walk-out: Get practice with taking exactly 2 or 3 steps. The more steps you take, the less energy you'll have for squatting.
  • Shoes: A more solid base means less energy waste. Your feet are visible wobbling around here.

I don't understand the image. Is that supposed to be a Venn diagram?

Anyway, to answer your question, I use GitHub Copilot for all of my coding work, and ChatGPT here and there throughout the week. They've both been great productivity boosters. Sometimes, it also gets hoisted onto me when I don't want it. Like when trying to talk to customer service, or Notion trying to put words in my mouth when I accidentally hit the wrong keyboard shortcut.

It's only gambling if you intend to sell it off for a profit. I just want to own a piece of a cool company.

Microsoft is working very hard at getting into this data game. Don't think they won't try making similar deals.

Are we looking at a future where we need a search engine to tell us which search engine to use for your queries?

I just read "e.g." as "for egxample", and "i.e." as "that is"

Many restaurants I go to will tap the "no tip" button for you before letting you pay.

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

That's a weird way to phrase it. Customers are always "subsidizing" businesses by paying for their goods/services. That's how businesses work, whether they're well run or not. What tips do is hide the cost of what you're buying. It was at least possible to calculate it yourself when everyone agreed on the standard 15% and only at places like dine-in restaurants. But that's no longer the case, so how much you're expected to pay is a mystery until you're handed the machine.

BMW is a German company. Are you sure that's not just people saying it in German?

I always hear "triple double-V" in Quebec French.

Does it actually make a difference if it dissolves in your mouth? Everything ends up in your stomach eventually.

Fat is your body's energy store. When you need energy, your body will consume it from your bloodstream. If there isn't enough there, it'll break down fat to create more.

So what consumes energy?

  • Moving
  • Thinking
  • Being alive

The last one is what uses up the most energy and you're already doing it.
