Plus, pause at 0:01 at your first landing and look at your head - it looks completely down. Try to look forward.

At least you're not doing this:

 :trollface:

On the other hand, you keep the hips high and you look pretty bouncy:

For example, I try to force the issue and I have deep, unreactive landings, so I sacrifice reactivity and form for length, which is bad:

14 April 2016

Spent a bit over an hour foam rolling and stretching the shit out of every leg muscle. Feels soooo good! What a dick i am, i should do this much more often.

nice!

how come that seems to always happen to us? we spend time stretching, foam rolling, etc.. feel amazing.. then we stop doing it? heh!@!

Lol  smr is like that girl we neglect... Then we really need it and it comes through and we make a note of how great it is but then forget about till we need it again... If we just take care of that stuff often we would be so better off...

"That girl we neglect". Sounds like science fiction to me.

...so? :D

You should do them in the squat rack, you won't be hitting the safeties.

Check out the plant at 0:41, and how his knees go forward so much yet he doesn't collapse into the plant. I would love to be able to do that.

How much of a cost difference is there between the US and Romania?

In my area lets say, if you can get subsidized housing its like 300 a month for an apartment, but typically you can find one for 500 a month or so for a 1 bedroom in an iffy area haha.

Also, is it bad that I just became a 7th day Adventist to get out of working saturdays?  I told my supervisor that I am now and I wrote an email to my Ops manager who is a dumbass that I am one now.  On the low low I'm really not, I just dont want to get sent across state to work bullshit sites on my day off.

I just made a certificate that certifies me as a 7th day Adventist lol its legit now

In terms of food, it might be worse here, or the same. Except we make 10 times less. In terms of housing, I have my own apartment (my dad's). So I don't have to pay rent, just the house maintenance.

But a typical rent is about ~200$ or so.

Ooh ok yeah.  I mean i did 100 dollars a week for food and thats like going BB status which is like 2 dollars a pound for chicken roughly, a few family sized bags of veggies for 10 dollars together and then almond butter and drinks(flavored water or whatever) with some left over for like a cheat meal of pizza or something.

Ever thought of doing a dual citizenship and being part 'Merican to probably make a lot more doing the computer stuff over here?

My dad lives in Canada, actually. But my studies won't mean much there, they speak French (a bad version of it) and so on. Plus he told me people over there act like total robots. We over here are funny, are "latin-blooded" which means a ton of jokes and easy-going ways. Different lifestyles.

Hm... 900 $

I think I was using about 150$ per month for the last 1.5 years, lol. House maintenance + electricity bill + internet + some prepay phone + food + gym membership + some sweets.

Run barefooted on track/grass. If you run with a heel strike you'll know immediately and it will hurt, and you're going to run on your toes by default. Plus it feels great for the calves and glutes :D

Have you tried planting a little more sideways and see what happens? Your plant reminds me of SquatDR's, no wonder we talked about him a few posts ago :D
