It’s funny how people get so bent out of shape over sirens going off. The worst thing that happens is you’re extra aware and extra safe.

The people that complain about the sirens are the same people that go to the grocery store and an item doesn’t scan so they think they should get it for free.

Nah, the worst thing that happens is people start to ignore them as false alarms or being overly cautious, and then they're hit with a dangerous storm.

The primary purpose of sirens is for people who are outside and need to get to shelter. And for those people, high winds can be just as much of an overall risk as a tornado given the broader area those winds apply to.

There were some high straight line winds around Winterset which would make sense for the sirens in that area. The ones in Urbandale were by mistake, which caused confusion.

The sirens going off for no reason caused confusion. It didn't alert anything. It went off for a minute and then stopped.

I've really struggled with the "hip-hinge". I went to PT due to a hip flexor strain doing some weighted walking lunges and the PT said that I should focus on goblet squats, RDLs and another exercise that involves kicking one leg up while holding a dumbbell in the other (not sure what it is called).

Sounds like a single leg RDL

Squat is one of the most commonly performed exercise with incorrect technique/form.

I suggest to try to focus on your first movement being “to push your butt backwards, not downwards.”

Hang clean/power clean are additional exercises commonly performed with poor tech.

I find lunges to be easier on my lower back.

I do one minute each side for the clamshells and it helps a ton.

Single leg exercises seem to be a bit better for my back also. Can still get a challenging weight but not much load on the spine.

Without weights the front foot still gets a decent load. Grab a couple of 80s and you'll know something is happening. With Bulgarian the lean forward or back hits the quads vs glutes more.

It's a bastard of an exercise
