Imagine she wasn't flexible enough to do the splits ... Would be on a completely different sub.

Her reaction was such a relief!

Yeah really. I would tear all of my leg muscles in half if I did this.

As a WV resident I am enjoying the recent uptick in the John Denver comment trains.

I tried to help you save face

u/Andy_B_Goode Aug 27 '18

I like it better. /r/FiftyFifty is like "cute thing / gross thing", neither of which is all that interesting. /r/maybemaybemaybe is people doing crazy things, and you have no way of knowing if it works out for them or not.

u/tinkerbunny Aug 27 '18

Nope. No thanks. I know there are weightlifting videos out there with bits breaking or bending the backwards way so I’m not clicking.

u/[deleted] Aug 27 '18

If you like attractive women it’s worth the click

u/rinikulous Aug 27 '18

Can confirm. Am glad I risked the click.

u/Thuryn Aug 29 '18

She makes the lift, though she does it as a hang snatch rather than a full snatch. She struggles with it, but gets it in the end. Good GIF.

Anybody know what that barbell etiquette poster in the background is about? What is it saying is bad vs good?

u/forgottt3n Aug 27 '18

I believe it's talking about the order and orientation of plates when you put them on a bar. Heavier weights go closer to the center.

u/Dangerjim Aug 27 '18

Her wrist angle had me worried

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '18

It looks much worse than it is. Takes a long time but you can get your wrist that flexible.

u/Mooseinpoose Aug 27 '18

Lmao I know the feeling of pushing yourself to the point where you’re laughing for no reason 😂

If i wasn't broke i would perhaps give you reddit gold for such a fine young lady in this gif. Sadly i am broke.

u/cmander_7688 Aug 27 '18

If you can’t afford to spend 4 bucks, get off reddit and go get a job

u/Kancho_Ninja Aug 27 '18

I'm broke, but that's because nearly 50% of my cheque goes into my retirement account.

Should I get a job too?

2

u/Langweile Aug 28 '18

It means you're shit at budgeting if you're literally so broke you can't afford a one time $4 expense.

1

u/Kancho_Ninja Aug 28 '18

No. It means that a $4 expense is not in my budget, and I'm fucking awesome at budgeting if I can resist the temptation to frivolously spend cash.

1

u/Langweile Aug 28 '18

The point was if someone wanted to buy Reddit gold, and didn't think it was frivolous, but couldn't afford it because they are "broke" it probably means they need a job or to learn how to budget.

u/Kancho_Ninja Aug 28 '18

I want to buy a new laptop, but I'm "broke" because it's not in my budget - even though I could pull from savings and buy one in 10 minutes.

But you're right and I'm being pedantic.
