Fake news. The real Mr. Hanley would have pictures of power tools, well manicured lawns, Knipex pliers, and density blocks.

I did those paused deadlifts the other day.. 425x3x5 @7 with a 2ct pause timed by a metronome.. very fatiguing.

I somehow tweaked my back/si joint on those motherfucking hexbar deads. I don't think I've ever so much as strained a muscle on the many hundreds of conventional deadlift reps I've , but this is the third time I've tweaked my back using a hexbar.

If they're too fatiguing, maybe just switch to lighter deads using the approach Lakshmi mentioned in her facebook post?

That makes sense to me, kind of. Seems like a hex bar might allow more weebl-woobl than having the bar against your body for the whole lift?

Yeah, fuck hex bars, they're way less stable.

Reading about the master grinder of his pen nub and seeing his calligraphy makes me wonder.

Nah, more like, fuck picking up 4-5 plates in an unstable configuration that wants to swing around. Especially if it has a history of tweaking your back. Manley men don't do stupid shit like lifts that have a high chance of injuring them. Or doing stupid shit because it's what manly men do.

Quick question:

Is the set "motherfucking men" a subset of "manly men" or vice versa?

This is all so very compelling.

It is the set of all sets that is itself not a member of said set, or something like that. Hopefully it has nothing to do with mothers.

I'm so manly that I will openly cry thinking about Bertrand Russell, his life and his paradoxes.

Gordel's incompleteness theorem must have been devastating. (Sorry no umlat, haven't figured that out yet.)

No, no: my tears are tears of joy! I find limits to logical systems and processes...freeing. And cool.

In all seriousness, I find that position admirable. It makes me uncomfortable to know there are things that are true that we can't go ahead and prove. Existentially uncomfortable.
