  • Tbh, anyone who believes israel has a right to exist then has the burden of proving why Palestine doesn’t have the right to exist, or why Palestines right to exist is superseded by israel’s right to exist.

    All these questions really distract from the problem (settler colonialism, neo colonialism, imperialism, and of course the CEO of all this, Capitalism), but for someone well spoken, may be good places to introduce doubt in the status quo for folks.











  • My OHP is 230lbs strict (for credentials).

    A little lean through your upper back is good, and can be used to help get your head out of the way. Looking up is fine too (I have to for log press for example). Make sure you get your head through at the top of the press.

    If your neck is sore, it is probably related to upper back/trap strength/ function. Your traps support your shoulders but the muscle in your neck can get involved in weird ways if your traps are strong enough.

    For your warm up, take bands and do pull parts, making sure you pull with your traps but squeezing your shoulder blades down and together. When you get a bit of burn in there you’re good. When warming up with the bar, do some slow reps just feeling your body, seeing if you can make your back more stable.

    I used to get headaches from neck/trap tightness and weakness, so play around and see what everything feels like. If you happen to have ADHD, it may always look like you are doing it right, but you still might not be. So, find a technique where you feel stable, and the most powerful, and you’ll be well on your way to a good lift.
