not saying to get advice from the internet, just sharing a readily-available source that’s quite reliable and is consistent with precisely the advice I’ve personally received from professionals IRL
the guy himself is a physical therapist but whatever, be as condescending as you want to be
Not a great example since squat form varies with a person’s anatomy so the way you describe is not necessarily “the proper form” (and to be honest I’m a bit worried by it). Feet position and angle will depend on your anatomy and squat depth will depend on your mobility. Squat university has some good videos for helping out with finding the proper squat form for each individual
I really do not understand the obsession with multiparty democracy.
A multiparty system has been sold as the defining trait of democracy (or at least synonymous with an electoral cycle), election ballots must have little symbols for each little party. But even those who buy into it fall into inevitable contradictions: when, for example, they’re made aware that nations like the PRC and the DPRK have other parties (similar to the post-imperialist scenario you’ve stated), they become quite perplexed; also, all these people would be only satisfied if the party they support won not only the general elections, but also every election in every region/municipality/district/etc, essentially desiring the one-party system they are feverishly against.
These are just brief points on how that obsession falls over itself, I purposely don’t want to get into how the basis for the obsession (be it the electoral cycle, how a multiparty system actually behaves, etc) is a sham on its own.
it doesn’t. it just removes pressure from your lower back
see above, you’re using a tool that removes/facilitates the force imposed on your lower back in a given lift and this has the disadvantage of not progressing the strenght on that part of the body at the same rhythm as your other muscles you’re engaging in the lift
honestly if you’re not competing there’s virtually no reason to use a lifting belt, egolifting is a thing and something that everyone lifting recreationally should not engage in
