??? I don’t understand.
I’m not dying. I’m just unhappy with myself
Why?
I strongly, strongly believe that this is something you need to talk to a professional about. I don’t think anyone on here has the skillset to help you in this environment.

I didn’t say you were dying, I said your condition is life-threatening, and it has already threatened your life.
Nearly every post I see from you has disparaging remarks about yourself. Combine it with the pinching skin picture - which is seriously alarming - and the constant obsession with calories, weight, and self-image, and I am genuinely worried.
Especially about this:
You talk as if being unhappy with one’s self and dying are unrelated, when they are hopelessly intertwined.
I can’t do any good from here, but I can keep screaming from the sidelines that you owe it to yourself to do what is necessary to be happy with yourself.
I’ll back out again now, sorry for the intrusion.

Because I could be better.
A lot of it is also pressurestress. It’s prime time to work on grad school applications. Things aren’t looking good for me.
Undergrad applications were a shit show and it’s looking more and more like there’s going to be a repeat. even worse, my demonstrated interest is WORSE than when I was applying to UG. I didn’t think that was possible.
Week 2: Day 2
Deadlift: 1x5-135lbs, 1x4-175lbs, 1x1-195lbs; 1x3-225, 1x3-245, 1x7-255lbs!!! @flappinit good things do happen in this log; 2x18, 1x12-175lbs
Lying leg raises: 5x12
RDL: 5x5-135lbs,3010 tempo
goblet squat: 30-10-30 with 30lb db
Squat technique work: 5x5-135lbs, 3010 tempo
- awesome workout- super happy with the deadlifts, will probably regret this tomorrow
@hustlinghat93 @Vincepac1500 (tagged bc of powerlifting) How should I go about correcting feet position? when doing my technique work, I noticed that without having a line on the floor (ie where the floormats meet) I have a hard time getting my feet to line up. I end up in a strange somewhat staggered stance. Also, I noticed that my left foot naturally tends to be at more of an angle than my right (turned slightly outward). I imagine that squatting heavy load like this will significantly increase risk of injury…

My collaborators and I did a study are writing an article on on incentives for remote workers.
Its being published on a incentive research website that apparently ppl actually take seriously.
So… three undergrads, a Econ theorist and a consultant are writing an article telling managers how to motivate workers.
This feels somewhat illegal
TLDR consulting is BS
What’s illegal about it?
It’s just one of the many reasons why you should take every you read online with a shaker full of salt.
Heck, I’d argue EVERYTHING you read, period.

Sorry it’s late where I’m at and I have to get up early. Can you give me the whole question in a reply. Kind of seems half there but not all the info where I was tagged.

Why do managers need telling? That’s the worrying thing for me.

Do you look at a mirror by any chance? And if so is straight ahead of you or perhaps angled off?
I will probably butcher this explanation but bare with me. The difference between a lined up stance and a staggered stance is not the placement of feet but the direction you face/ trunk rotation. If you stand with your feet in line now and slightly rotate to one side you will appear to have a staggered stance if you look down. Is it possible you are just slight rotating to look at the mirror causing he impression of being staggered?
The other possibility is due to the left foot being at an angle that you need to be staggered so both shins touch the bar
Is it the foot itself or somewhere else between the hip and foot? You need to assess if the angle starts:
- at the ankle (so the rest of the leg is straight from the hip down but the ankle flares out)
- at the tibia (so your thigh is straight but the angle starts under the knee due to your tibia being externally rotated. This means the ankle is not flaring out it’s just attached to the bone which rotates out
- at the femur (so your thigh is angled out due to external rotation at the hip and the rest of the leg just follows in line)
A good test is to just lay on the floor flat on your back completely relaxed and look at how your legs naturally look going down. Obviously you will have the foot rotated as mentioned
- If the knee is facing out and not straight up then the cause is at the hip causing the thigh to externally rotate. Mobility work (youtube as 100s of videos) to address that will slowly fix it
- If the knee is facing up then look at the shin bone and see where the biggest difference is between both sides. You will either notice your shin from the knee to ankle looks slightly turned out compared to the other or that the shin looks the same but the ankle appears to ‘connect’ different to your shin. Again once you know the cause you can do mobility work to address the issue.

@Vincepac1500 when I walk out the squat, I have a hard time getting my feet to align
It’s my feel actually staggered. I can feel my tight toe on the line (where two mats meet) and left toe isn’t. When I unrack the bar, I step forward with my left foot then walk back. I have a hard time getting my feet to aligned
I’ll try the mobility stuff for the feet turning out. Funny thing, mum used to call me out for having my left foot turned out when walking…… I should fix that ig
Not literally illegal. I just thought it was funny how under qualified we are
Honestly, I asked the same question. The stuff we found is more or less common sense. With that said, this current article is part two, which means that part one was fairly well received….

That would also explain the hip tilt you mentioned previously

Common sense is not something about 50% of managers possess. My current company has about a 19% attrition rate this year and in order to improve that leadership wants to mandate coming back to office (some folks must work from office at my job) and switching to a 4/10 work schedule (which really doesn’t work if one has kids). Their proposed solutions is not something that’s going to retain employees and we (the employees) have expressed that. Yet, they are still moving forward…
On a totally unrelated note, can I have a copy of that paper?
