Thanks for the detailed response ! Yeah , i ' m also hoping that QGJ will be better . Unrelated followup question Is dengar any good ? ?<| sep |> Seriously dude , do you even lift or do you just read the occasional fitness blog and feel that makes you an expert ? I ' ve realized that insulting people is a natural way to keep a discussion going for you , but let ' s rise above . There ' s no need , and at this point I ' m almost certain it ' s something you do because you ' ve chosen that particular nickname . In either case , no offense taken . Yes , I do lift . Although I expect answering that question makes little difference if you ' ve already made up your own opinion on it . The lack of spottersSquatspotting isn ' t really necessary if you have the . well , the safety bars set properly . It ' s not like on the bench , where you actually have to lift the weight back up in order to get it off you . the taking tons of tiny steps walking the bar outThis is a natural effect of having chosen a disproportionately heavy weight . the inability to hit depthOn PB attempts , this is the first method of bailing . That is , realizing that going any lower will definitely be a failed rep , and trying to salvage what ' s left . the fact that he had so much weight on the bar that he couldnt even start to come up out of the holeAs far as PB attempts go , that ' s pretty normal . Giving the weight upward momentum i . e . accelerating upwards is the hard part , as described by Newton ' s first .
