I'm still waiting you wanted to open your mouth right?

 

[kiefurban]

Well open it I'm still waiting

Name me another drinkable whole food protein.... I'll wait

I think you're lacking reading comprehension.

He's saying he agrees about egg whites and everyone already knows it's a great source of protein. You're not breaking news to us.

 

[kiefurban]

Good luck on everybodies goals. I wish you the best.

People in here having actual breakdowns.

Anyway, I'm helping a younger guy train and was wondering what sort of stretches or accessory lifts would be good to help him get lower when squatting + help him with his balance. He's a beginner and while his form is solid, he just has trouble getting low no matter what. I kinda want to nip this in the bud before we go up in weight. If it helps, he's 6'3 with long arms and legs and pretty goofy. Can't do a lunge properly But he's dedicated and willing to listen. Our body types are so different though + I've never had an issue with going low - so I'm kinda lost.

Who else remembers the good old NT days when their were post limits?

so you just drank regular egg whites all your life or did you boil them and peel them? Tell me how long it takes to boil and eat 350 eggs and I'll tell you the amount of time I just saved on your life. Time you could actually spend lifting weights instead of arguing on the Internet about what processed protein powder is best.

Real talk though, how can I find out why im banned from TAN? I never even posted in there.

My dude, liquid egg whites have been around and is not a secret. You aren't breaking some type of secret to us.

Count calories or count macros to lose some weight?

If you're doing it right, you're doing both.

Not entirely....
Macros.

I'm telling you man - asian squats, aka laundry squats, aka no more lower back pain, aka the way humans are supposed to be at rest. Get him to do 50-100 (no weight) of them a day for a few weeks and he'll be a squatting machine. It'll get your hips/etc back to where it needs to be.

Macros.

I don't disagree, but when I track my macros I also track the caloric intake. It is simple math after all.

[tdogg2k]

Cant even do those asian squats
Srs

 

[moderndarwin]

Means you are broken Tdogg - it's a natural human position to rest. People been relaxing, eating, dropping deuces, etc in that position for thousands of years.

It's equivalent to saying you can't walk.

 

[4one5]

I really thought y'all were just playing around.

 

[tdogg2k]

All them years of hotdogs

Beta thinking.

Free everyone. This the lifting thread, we can handle it. We alphas.

Banning/warnings permitted in the crossfit thread only.

No you can't, you guys are as soft as the Twinkies you eat to fill your macros.

So his form isn't quite solid?

Work on his mobility. Hips probably too tight.

You call that the good old days?

Post to SN ratio is strong.

But the majority of people cant stay in that position (or get in that position for that matter) for a long time.

I do notice it more in my native country, the Philippines. EVERYONE can do that squat and they can stay in that position for a while. Maybe it has to do with the fact as kids they need to stay in that position to eat, "sit", play with friends, etc cause they dont have the convenience of chairs, or atleast enough to go around.

Here in 'Murica, were spoiled, and dont have our bodies used to it by the time we get older.

Thats not a position you can just adapt to naturally and stay in for a while comfortably unless youre highly flexible.

Yeah, going to start ending every workout with a solid amount of stretching.

99 percent of the human population could come no where close to the position that guy is in
