Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
ideally you're probably going to you know maybe even start them off with no weight and just teach them how to hinge you know how to use their hips how to use their knees um how to track you know their their legs with their feet and those sorts of things and just balance because if you've never like put a barbell on your back I mean it's it's not a comfortable position
I very rarely would take somebody who's like fresh off the street and just and just put a barbell on their back and say okay learn how to squat because I mean it's gonna be like Bambi trying to stand up right yeah um ideally you're probably gonna you know maybe even start them off with no weight and just teach them how to hinge you know how to use their hips how to use their knees um how to track you know their their legs with their feet and those sorts of things and just balance

and I would never well say never because it's a it's a superlative uh but I very rarely would take somebody who's like fresh off the street and just and just put a barbell on their back and say okay learn how to squat because I mean it's gonna be like Bambi trying to stand up right yeah
I would never I want to say never because it's a it's a superlative uh but I very rarely would take somebody who's like fresh off the street and just and just put a barbell on their back and say okay learn how to squat because I mean it's going to be like Bambi trying to stand up right yeah um ideally you're probably G to you know maybe even start them off with no weight and just teach them how to hinge you know how to use their hips how to use their knees um how to track you know their their legs with their feet and those sorts of things
I think a lot of times if I if I really wanted to get somebody doing that I'm probably going to start with them like doing like a a goblet squad or something like that or to a box or you know something that they can execute with relative confidence to start
