Death penalty
KeithI
Mark, what are your ideas on the demise penalty and its implementation? I imagine there are crimes that ought to be punished by demise and individuals who need to die for what they’ve carried out. I don’t know find out how to reconcile that with the truth that it’s carried out by a corrupt and incompetent authorities. As you may have mentioned, they might indict a ham sandwich. I don’t assume it’s that unusual for the fallacious particular person to be convicted of against the law. A lot of such instances have been discovered in recent times.
Mark Rippetoe
There are a number of issues fallacious with it, primarily the truth that the aforementioned problematic authorities should administer it. However I believe that an individual who burns a baby to demise wants a special type of execution than that supplied for a loving pet. Placing a assassin to sleep is simply as heinous as letting him go — if he is not begging for demise on the finish of the fairly lengthy course of, it was carried out incorrectly.
Plenty of issues. Higher simply let the survivors’ household cope with it.

What did I f*ck up – NLP press
Dunk
So, this is not my first rodeo however I’ve had a protracted hiatus and ranging from all-time low….once more. Every part was going nicely after which the press out of the blue and catastrophically failed.
I am 31 & 6’2″

Deadlift 132.5kg
BW 204 lbs
Completed the programme precisely as said (possibly might’ve moved over to energy cleans sooner however deadlift are nonetheless feeling fairly straightforward). All different lifts are feeling fairly straightforward nonetheless. The 60kg press was a grind after which an entire failure at 61.25kg which was my first micro load. Assume I’ve gotten to round 65 kg earlier than any failures on NLP prior to now however this was 6 years in the past and I am undoubtedly not the identical creature I was. The one different factor to notice is I’ve solely gone up 2.5kg on deadlifts due to earlier again accidents however they are going nicely.
WTF did I accomplish that fallacious to fail this out of the blue within the press? Previously I’d’ve simply reset 10% and labored backup and possibly eeked a little bit extra out however by no means a lot however not too long ago listened to the ‘find out how to NLP’ podcast episode. Is that this all kosher? Possibly I have not gone full 6k energy however I’ve nonetheless placed on 15lbs in round 7 weeks.
Mark Rippetoe
Your body weight is a big downside, as is your working as much as 60k as a restrict work set earlier than you began microloading. Are you sporting a decent belt for presses?
Dunk
Dang, I assumed as a lot. I put on a reasonably tight belt, possibly I might strive it tighter. It did not give me a lot indication that I used to be on the restrict till the final rep of the final set of 60. I am going to reset the press, be in a rush to placed on extra BW and microload earlier. I suppose I had wrongly put myself within the class of not needing to quickly achieve weight!
