My observations about this (helps to know the lore behind Wes Watson which I won’t get into here because it’s too long):

- It’s so funny how bodybuilders act like their arms don’t straighten beyond 90 degrees. Eric is acting like Wes is so insecure about his height (and he is), while narrating sitting with deliberately 90 degree arm bends trying to make that look normal. Just straighten your arms sometimes bro. Your biceps will still look huge, it’s ok. Do you think every time you straighten your arms you lose like 10k followers or something? Lol

- Wes is so insecure about his height that people have caught in the recent past that he was wearing platform shoes that add 1.5-2inches in height while also being designed to look discreet about the lift. I’ve always found this funny because you’re going to have to take those shoes off eventually with the girls you (pay) to sleep with, Wes. Or do you wear your high heels in bed too lol

- Wes Watson’s voice sounds like he missed his calling to do muppet shows. That man’s voice box was made to have his hand up a puppet’s ass putting on a play. Same goes for Greg Doucette lol

- I never understood why so many bodybuilders get upset and standoffish when Eric comes over to check their height and weight. He has gotten in way too many near fights just by asking to confirm in public

- A minor thing but it takes a douchebag to work out in a public gym with no shirt on. I get enough of bro’s fapping to their own reflection in the locker room as I have to go past. It’s frankly embarrassing for someone who’s over the age of 30 to be acting like one of those 18yr old bro’s who takes his shirt off lifting with his friends when the gym is slow

I used to call it the invisible watermelon walk. Have an invisible watermelon under each arm lol

It’s sad but I bet my hypothesis that every time a bodybuilder influencer straightens their arms they lose viewers probably isn’t that far off. There are that many dumb suggestible 16-25yr old bro’s out there where as soon as you straighten your arms they think “wow this guy ain’t big” or “wow this guy looking kinda mid”

It’s crazy how much people have to min/max to get followers. Like not only do you have to be borderline killing your self with the amount of compounds you have to stay on year round, but also you can’t even ever stand like a normal person on camera, or it costs you literal money.

Convinced my dad to do a movie night so I could see this movie, and it didn’t take much convincing because he is very big on outdoor survival. Tonight was the first night he could do it

Just got back from watching it. Pretty good. Some of the characters were really annoying but it was supposed to be a group of maladjusted convict adults so I guess that was intended

They keep getting picked off one by one by highly aggressive wolves and the elements. I think they only end up killing one single wolf the entire movie

Anyway, my dad had a much better strat to take on a wolf 1v1 than the scene quoted. He suggested jamming thick sticks into one’s jacket sleeve parallel to the arm. They’d have to be at least an inch thick though so it would be a tight rigging, maybe tying them around the arm as well

Then offer the arm to the wolf to clamp down on. Have the knife tied in the other hand and give a few hard stabs to the neck and side as it bites the arm. Wolf is out of the fight for good. Continue with multiple wolves if possible. But realistically they would be ripping your legs from behind if in a pack. For some reason in the movie there are a couple 1v1’s

But dad’s strat is still better than this strat

This dexascan was taken the same time as that last blood test, one week before the half marathon, first week of Jan 2025

I am surprised I was able to do an 8m/mi average at 17% bodyfat, that is a lot of dead floppy saggy weight to carry for 13miles

These past two weeks I’ve been dieting down kinda hard for summer. It hasn’t been too bad though. Before I was doing like 4 eggs, toast, or big egg sandwiches, which I switched to 2 hard boiled eggs and a low sugar greek yogurt for breakfast. And instead of huge plates of rice and chicken/steak from places like panda for lunch, I switched to just like a salad wrap with extra chicken, and later in the day a power bar if my stomach feeling hungry and some fruit (berries) when I get home from work

And at night always just chicken, veggie mix, and a tiny half cup of rice. Along with a half cup of mixed nuts. It ended up coming out to like a 3/4 reduction in carbs and like an ~600-800k reduction in calories per day from my prev eating

And I figured with so little carbs my workouts would suck and I’d have no energy. But after only a few days my body seems to have switched to burning fat as alternate fuel source and completely disregarded carbs. I feel like I have even more energy than before. I have been losing a lot of fat, I just never realized how well of a fuel source that is

And with the tons of protein (I do 2-3 protein shakes/day at 25g per) and 3x the normally daily Metamucil fiber powder, I pretty much never have any hunger pangs on this. I would normally say this is amazing and I’ll do it for the rest of my life, but once I run low on fat, my body is going to either start crashing or eating muscle I’m guessing. So dunno what I’m going to do then, but something will have to change when I don’t have a plentiful fat surplus (which is actually amazing energy when burned!) to draw on

Genetics are so weird to me

Like my aunt has drank alcohol like a fish and smoked like a chimney, and is now in her 70’s still drinking and smoking away

There is something in her genetics protecting her against cancer (she’s only had some minor skin cancer from sun tanning through the 70’s and 80’s with only “tanning lotion”) and I don’t know what those genes are

But I am not as big of a believer when it comes to genetics and being fat or fit. IMO that is 80 or 90% your choices, and the rest genetics

But protection from cancer and illnesses, that seems to be like majority genetics, secondary is life choices

[NopeNopeNopeNope]

^
The biggest example of why it’s about genetics that I’ve seen was this amazing doctor and human being that I stumbled upon, who led a very healthy and active lifestyle, and so when he was diagnosed with an aggressive stage 4 cancer and given 6 months to live, he wasn’t too worried in this vid: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6463REbh2HM

Then his last vid, only around a year later, he was basically ravaged by the cancer, saying his goodbyes: https://youtu.be/sESvfpNQJ1I?si=fei3iGOxHt_kmKf8

Dr Dan was a real good dude. I haven’t seen any other person face down death with such grace and poise. RIP

But something in his genetics just ruined his chances of dealing with cancer :(

Bummer

First timed run since the half-m and when my stomach started rumbling I figured I just did a messy crap before I left, I have nothing left in me, so that has to be a fart. Time to fire up the fart jet pack and get a speed boost!

Then I realized right before I let loose NOPE NOPE NOPE! I don’t trust that fart

So I held it in. And the rumbling grew and grew. I had to slow down and stop early, wanted to go to 5mi, instead I had to stop at 3 AND do the walk of shame home (I always run home normally but I was considering having to run to the ditch to take an impromptu shit)

When I got in I painted the bowl. Never trust a fart, especially when running

Next time will be better. Was holding up good, energy wise, for being on a calorie deficit

im pretty fit, and healthy and so i have been judgemental against people who are not.

But i saw a thing that said that some people burn calories more than others, and they gave an example like, some when they sit naturally sit, others shake their legs etc tap their feet, and that actually burns calories, those people are more prone to be thinner.

And while watching I realized that the whole time my 2 feet were moving like a hummingbird wings as I was watching this stupid thing on tv for the last hr at 11pm, and thought well shit i guess I am genetically lucky.

Still a conservative though.

Seeing as though you have to spend less time exercising to maintain a good body fat ratio, you should work more so the workers that don't have that natural privilage have time to work out in the morning.

Only in regard to the weird cultural attitude towards health and oppression

There was someone that did a deep dive into it, and apparently there is some scholarly and historical backing to the attitude. I wish I could find the video because he had really cited a lot of sources

But the gist of it is that communism (from my limited understanding) is about empowering the working class and fighting all these forms of oppression. And unfortunately there seems to be this weird modern day attitude amongst some communists that fitness is a form of oppression. This is because a fit, strong person is in a better position to intimidate, physically control or oppress others even if that isn’t their intention

And so there is this attitude of people shouldn’t get fit because it COULD lead to oppression of others easier….or something

I’m not sure if it’s also an issue with empathizing with those that aren’t able bodied, or even a jealously thing like “I’m not going to get fit because I don’t want others to be jealous of me”

I don’t really understand any of it. All I suspect is that if a person like me went onto pro-communism communities and exclusively talked about personal physical self improvement, I would NOT be a liked or popular fellow in that community, for whatever reason. I probably wouldn’t be hated either, but I definitely wouldn’t be liked

[Swish]

Most pro-communism communities look like they could use a good meal. I wouldn't say they're on the right track to a utopia at all. ANTIFA basically call themselves the "anti bad guy squad" because that way they can never be the bad guys. If that's not some top tier mental gymnastics I don't know what is.

They should join a gym.

It shouldn’t. It absolutely shouldn’t

Politics has infested movies, and gaming, and religion, and business, and all these other things

But health and wellness is about as apolitical as it gets, or at least should be. And from a survival standpoint, the closer that both sides are coming to blows, the even more crucial fitness becomes! I mean, there’s a reason that both police and military have fitness requirements

Some people are like “civil war looms! The revolution is upon us!” Ok then why are you still so goddamn out of shape? Do you want to die right at the start of this revolution? And what’s even worse, is that for every minute until your death you’ll be a walking pure liability for your friends and fellow militia? Someone they have to babysit as you huff and puff your way along?

Makes no sense to me

[atomicpaul]

yeah, i get it, it has been my experience your average trump supporter cannot handle a mere flight of stairs, though. i am sure that is an exception, given the stats, math rarely lies. i don't necessarily believe stats on the left, given the state's bias. the right should not, either. feel free to take that as propaganda, it is irrelevant in 99.99% of cases.

the challenge is: you get shot the same if the person shooting you is out of shape. muscles ain't making anyone bulletproof, not that you were claiming they do. i am a pro-2a person, despite the fact that i have no respect for any amendments or the constitution in the first place, but you can bet your ass it'd be cited in a hypothetical court case. women, without even considering if trans women are women, are a fine example of why this is necessary. gun rights are women's rights, esp. in a country as psychotic as america. guns are an equalizer.

does it make a difference if the gun gets knocked out of the fight? sure, yeah. but firearms became popular for a variety of reasons. accessibility is one of them.

i don't think most people consider it in the context of a hypothetical civil war, that's a different ball game altogether. it's mainly about the immediate threat regardless of what form it takes.

I look at it like life is a game of inches. And sometimes it’s only an inch between life and death

Picture poor war torn Gaza. Rubble of buildings everywhere. I don’t think a lot of people realize how hard it is to scramble along the loose rubble of a collapsed building. What kind of balance you need. How many calories you will be burning. How winded you will get

Hell, even someone as athletic as me underestimated until I got lost and off trail on my state’s highest mountain, and ended up scrambling along the loose shale on some slope. I started a mini avalanche, I slipped and fell repeatedly cutting up the sides of my legs. And what it took out of me! It felt like that scramble took a mile of hiking’s worth out energy out of me, to just get through

And I’m picturing a drone flying at my head ready to explode. Maybe they already have the tech to where they can’t be dodged. But maybe the pilot has an itchy trigger finger and didn’t anticipate that someone is agile enough to try to juke it. And they do. And instead of exploding their head it just hits their shoulder and it’s a survivable wound. That’s the inch in the game of inches

It’s not just cardio though. It’s agility. It’s core strength. Even gun battles are going to involve some movement. And the terrain is likely going to be super shitty, the city equivalent of bushwacking

[NopeNopeNopeNope]

This completely proves my point. I am literally the ONLY person commenting this particular thing about this recent police use of force:

I’m not going to link the bodycam footage although it is not all that bad. In the footage, this fat, portly cop approaches a black man who is above average physique and having a complete psychotic break, including the black man yelling religious preoccupation delusions the entire fight

The black man completely man handles the shit out of the fat officer. Pummeling him repeatedly with his fists after a taser fails to stop him. At one point the black man even trips and makes a loud “OOF!” Sound as he falls backwards completely onto his ass and back. But the fat, winded, out of shape police officer is completely unable to capitalize on it and simply stands there until the black man gets up and resumes attacking him

It needs to be said though, that the officer was no doubt fearing using his gun due to the inevitable legal and public opinion fallout that comes with shooting an unarmed black man, even if that man is attacking the cop

This concludes with the black man getting the cop on the cop’s back, climbing over him, getting to his police cruiser, stealing it, and going on a high speed chase that results in him being shot and killed by police later


My question is: when you have to put your own life, and the lives of your friends and co-workers with you on the line every single day….

WHY
THE
FUCK
WOULD
YOU
DELIBERATELY
STAY
SO
FAT
AND
OUT
OF
SHAPE???

Why? It makes no goddamn sense. Are there not police fitness requirements any more? That cop was presented with a golden opportunity when the black man fell backwards on this ass and back to take control of the fight. Do you know how hard it is to stand up in a street fight? All it takes is a single push, a single kick, and you are back on your ass. Again. And again. You can also easily get knocked out trying to stand up because most people try to stand up by taking their hands and placing them on the ground in front of them, exposing their head and face to a punch or kick

This all could have been avoided in many ways. Sad the black dude died especially if it was just mental health and not drugs

[Trexller]

most women can't keep up with fitness standards that are set for men, so if your goal is to see women in uniform then you have to lower the standards

as far as the fat cop, the hours are long, the job is stressful, you're not getting along with your wife as good as you used to, the electric bill is 25% more than last year, you didn't get the promotion that you thought you should get and your kid's hair is 4 inches tall and dyed like a rainbow

But Wendy's is on the way home, you'll get exactly what you want, it will be delicious and satisfying enough with a couple mixed drinks to lull you into slumber so that you can sleep enough to face the next day

you get slow and you get fat, and you still pass the fitness standards that were lowered for women, or your superiors just pass you anyway because to tell you that you're overweight wouldn't be politically correct, or your superiors will have to face the fact that they are fat netflix and grease addicted slobs just like you are

I used to just leave my keys in my locker at one of my gyms because it was full of only white people

The gym with the pool though is in a different poorer part of town and has blacks and Hispanics so there I carry my keys in my pocket all workout there and just leave my swimsuit, goggles, and some edibles in a plastic bag in my locker

^
Jk I carry my keys in my pocket at both lol. JEBAITED

I only carry my keys because I have my wallet in my truck and it has a few hundred dollars cash always in case I need to bribe a city official or police or do a quick drug deal or pay off a hooker. Just for the pertinents

And I only carry my keys because I’m lazy and don’t want to deal with getting one of those temporary plastic keys. But most gyms including mine do have a spot where you can leave small items like a wallet or car keys in like a tiny box and get one of those plastic keys you turn like the water parks have for your stuff when you go on slides

Or else bring your own lock for the bigger lockers in the locker room, that’s what most people do

I bring and carry a towel of my own anywhere that doesn’t have complimentary towels (one of my gyms does). On leg day if I for whatever reason ran on the gym’s treadmills I would go through two beach towels in terms of sweat :/

Carrying a towel is great not only to stay dry but to drape over equipment like “this is mine you fucks. I’m just going to get a drink from the fountain for the 10th time because this preworkout gives me horrible cotton mouth. Don’t steal my bench or I will FITE you”

Nah luckily I never let him land a bite, I kept pulling the water bottle back and said out loud “what are you doing, you little spaz?” to the tourists around that always inevitably gather to watch me water the lizards bc they never seen it b4

[NopeNopeNopeNope]

Cousin asked me to help him train for a hard day trip hike he’s doing at the end of this month

So yesterday I took him up (his first time) what is considered one of the hardest hikes in the state. The entire 2nd half from past the beginning 1/4ish point is very steep to the point of bouldering/scrambling/bushwacking and that goes on for 2ish miles. But the view is worth it

Cousin had to stop often which killed our time and made me worried about my water situation. I try to always be way over on water so that way I can give some extra to people/lizards/lizard people. But I went completely through the gallon + 1 liter of water I had brought by the time we got back to the base

It ended up taking us roughly 3.5ish hours to summit at his pace. I wish it were closer to my house so I could go solo, I bet I could get to the summit in 1 hour. But it’s a full hour drive from me so I don’t mind posting pics since it will never be a regular thing some stalker could find me on

Pics are mostly scenery and my cousin and some random dudes climbing one of the steeper parts (and yes that is the only way up at that part). I didn’t get pics of me because cousin was struggling too hard to ask him to do photo ops of me. I do not know any girl who can do this hike

[Jimjam]

Thats not a hoke, thats a climb! Very beautiful though. We done helping your cousin.

[NopeNopeNopeNope]

Lol ty and ya, it had been years since I had done it, so I didn’t remember that well, and I was musing the exact same thing out loud: “is this a hike or is this a climb?”

A random hiker there almost had a tarantula hawk wasp land on them and I mentioned to them that, while they are supposedly very passive for a wasp, the tarantula hawk actually has one of the top 3 most painful stings in the entire world. That got that group to pay a bit more attention to it ;)

I also had my giant arm wound open because it wasn’t scabbing after being bandaged for two days so I figure keep it open to air and it will. Bad idea for a number of reasons: 1. It remained gooey all day and night (and still is) 2. It got scraped by both sticker plants and rocks as I was climbing and 3. I had about 3 different groups of people express concern and ask if I was ok after noticing it

The first time I had honestly forgotten about it so when they asked if I was ok my first thought was to be offended thinking like “do I look fucking tired to you? Do you see my cousin is the one huddled in the shade panting and I’m standing here getting sun on my bald head waiting for him looking bored? Of course I’m ok!”

Then my cousin said “oh that’s not from this trip” pointing to my arm. And I was like “oh shit yea sorry I’m fine this is actually 2 days old” lol

About a year or so ago I started doing acrobatic yoga. My girlfriends been doing it for years and finally convinced me to start. It's been pretty fun - a nice way to meet new people and an interesting way to apply skills like strength, balance, and momentum. I actually now look forward to leg days at the gym as I try to improve my basing ability.

This last week I was at the Dutch Acro Yoga Festival, where people and teachers from all over the world came together for a week. There were some serious acrobats there, like professional circus level performers. Had a great time and learned a bunch.

[NopeNopeNopeNope]

Yoga is pretty tough even without acrobatics. For sure any skilled acrobat, just like any skilled gymnast, are going to be pound for pound some of the strongest people around

I always wanted to be able to do the “flag” move where you hold a flag pole with each hand and stretch and hold your body horizontal like a human flag. But I should settle for just trying for a muscle up on a pull up bar first lol

Although he was telegraphing pretty bad, that is a back roundhouse into a back roundhouse. I had never seen that done before in my time time doing TKD

I had done many a double back roundhouse. But mine would be a gimp, badly timed first one as je-bait. Then when they rush in confidently towards my exposed back, I’d whip into another much faster one to their face (same leg though). Other kids would fall for it every time

True, but might still not have mattered. The best defense a goose or even us have against something we have zero chance against is if we’re the first of our species it’s ever seen, it has no idea what we are capable of (or not capable of). So it’s our best and only chance to scare it off

On December 22nd 1968 after completing their mission team 1C3 was waiting to be heli-lifted from the area. Bad weather conditions had prevented immediate pickup and the team had posted a two man radio watch while the others settled in to get some shuteye.

The tiger struck silently and swiftly. It had jumped onto and was attacking Sgt. Goolden. It then jumped into a bomb crater still holding Sgt. Goolden. The rest of the team pursued the tiger to the crater where they opened fire and killed it. Sgt. Goolden then staggered out of the crater and was given first aid treatment and a medical evacuation helicopter was called for. Shortly thereafter a Marine CH-46 picked up Sgt. Goolden, the rest of the team and the dead tiger. Sgt. Goolden was taken to 3rd Medical BN. hospital suffering lacerations and bites on the neck.

The team and tiger went to 3rd Recon Bn. Hdqtrs. where the tiger was placed on display from a 10ft. scaffold outside of Charlie Company’s administration office. It measured 9 feet and weighed 400 pounds. MajGen. Raymond G. Davis, Commanding General, 3rd Marine Division, and Assistant Division Commander, BrigGen. Robert B. Carney, Jr., examined the huge beast and congratulated Team 1C3 for killing the animal.

Always felt like there was something going on with my stomach near my belly button, for years now. My abs never looked quite right

Well, finally got the nerve to see a Dr who ordered an ultrasound for me. And turns out, I was right: I’m pregnant

With a small little hernia. I decided to name him Hermie. He’s just a widdle guy, and he’s shy, you can’t see him at all, nor does my belly button protrude or anything

Right now, he’s less than 1 cubic cm. But like any baby boy, he’s going to get bigger. Sometimes when I’m bent over at an angle picking up a 45lb plate at the gym or somethin, I can feel him move and kick a little. He’s going to grow up to be a soccer player boy I think, my little Hermie

Hernias are incredibly common in the fitness community when doing heavy lifting; your abdominal wall is always going to be extremely thin compared to other muscles. What frustrates me is I actually train abs consistently, unlike fitness influencers like Greg Doucette who says he doesn’t feel he needs to train abs because they are used in so many dynamic lifts like deadlifts and squats (which I also do). But regularly training abs didn’t save me. I think it actually happened due to some bad coughing fits I had years ago tbh

My uncle has had a hernia for like two decades now. With baby boy Hermie’s size, a lot of guys just ignore them. My issue is that I’m about them aesthetics, and carrying Hermie around is fucking with that. It pushes my stomach out very slightly, making me look a tiny bit fatter than I really am. Which is annoying, because I go through a lot to keep my fat down to a certain low amount, mostly for the looks

So I might get that surgery where they do the mesh net. But I can’t get it done before I go to SD for a week at the end of this month. So I’m going to still get as aesthetic as I can before then, and maybe get the surgery sometime after I get back. Sucks to have to take a month off to recover. But lost muscle is very easily regained. The RP fitness channel did a video on muscle memory, and lost muscle can be re-grown at up to 10x the rate of original growth

So I might still do a progress pic in less than 2 weeks before the trip. But for now, here’s the ultrasound summary. And who said men can’t get pregnant? Of course there’s no father, so I guess I must be the male version of mother Mary :)

[NopeNopeNopeNope]

What makes this extra disturbing is that someone did an investigation into Pedophiles on Tik Tok who were donating real $ with code word “roses” to minor girls for something called a “fit check” which involved them lifting their shirts to show their abs

Had given a baby chuckwalla some water, I think it was last weekend

This was the backstory I posted on fb to my 200k member state hiking channel. What pisses me off is that YouTube short cropped the screen for some reason, cropping out the lizard that shown fully in the original vid

“Gave a thirsty baby chuckwalla some water on my hike. Almost accidentally stepped on a bigger adult’s head further up, and that one ran when I tried to give him water like “you think I’m gonna accept that after you almost stomped my head?”. But other hikers who saw it said that after I continued down, he came out and drank off the rock. He just didn’t want to give me the satisfaction of seeing cause he still mad I bet”

I had a buddy who was in a car crash and developed a hernia from it. There were a couple surgery options for the repair, the doctor even told him to consider NOT repairing it since it wasn't a big hernia, and wasn't causing him issues other then the little bump by his belly button.. Anyways he chose the mesh option you are considering cause it was the least invasive. Long story short- He sneezed at work about a year later and blew the mesh out...

Ty yea I’ve heard from multiple co-workers about controversies and I think lawsuits regarding some of the mesh net materials used. That really sucks for your buddy, and what’s sad is it’s full price again or more (probably more complicated now) for the next one :(

I’m tempted to tell the doctor let’s do a bunch of nets. Let’s reinforce the whole abdomen with back up nets while we’re at it, I hate surgery and don’t want to be back here. Preferably ab-shaped ones

I try to go hike at 11am, closed for rescue. Ok, I’ll go kill an hour at the gym. Come back, still closed at noon. Ok I’ll go get my truck washed and waxed. Then I go chill at home for a bit, come back at 1:30pm

Finally it’s fucking open, and I’m the first one there in an empty parking lot. As soon as I hop out, over rushes a park ranger

“You hike this often?”
Me: “Yes, very”
“We had to do two rescuers today”
Me: “Oh wow, yea I tried to come earlier but it was closed”

“You aware of what time it is now?”
Me: “1:30?”
“You aware it’s 101 and going to be 105?”

Me (tired of this): “Yea I’m not worried. I went up this twice in a row last weekend” (almost no one goes up twice in a row due to how challenging it is)

“It wasn’t as hot as it is today last weekend”
Me: “no you’re right it was 94” (at this point I have to make a concentrated effort not to scoff. Going up and down an entire second time is much more difficult than going up once in 6 degree hotter heat. And I could have mentioned last week on my first up I was racing to stay ahead of one of the fastest regulars on the second half)

Me:“Like I said, I would have gone up earlier but it was closed”

“Yea for two heat related rescues”

Me: “Yea”

At this point it’s basically a Mexican standoff. I’m thinking ok man, unless you are going to legally detain me I’m going up now. And I pretty much just walked away

Dude was either pissed or trying to do his due diligence or both. Either way I don’t fault him for it. And I was more than fine

But from here out it’s tiple digit temps until Oct, so I found this fitting:

Of course physique inflation is a thing

And yes, male body dysmorphia is not only rampant, it’s not really stigmatized. Almost glorified. BIGorexia is very much more of a thing than ever

But this is the correction: there are far more overall people on very small amounts of PED’s, yes. The ones stacking compounds or juicing to the gills seem roughly the same. It’s just that with good training and diet, it doesn’t take much of something illegal, quantity wise, to cause huge benefits

But yep standards are only going up. AI impossi-bodies are going to make it 5x worse. At least I know what I like about me and want for me, and that hasn’t changed with the increase in bio hacking being done by anyone who can afford it and wants to risk it

….is like a recently morbidly obese person saying they’ve never felt better. Give it some time and get back to us. Let us know how it’s going when your dick stops working

And at the bottom of the article it says he hasn’t noticed any performance increases despite putting on lots of muscle and yea no shit, steroids are only going to make cardio worse. If he wants cardio he should be doing that EPO shit that gives you like 30% more red blood cells. Whatever Lance was doping on for cycling

If I were to do the enhanced games it would be a combination of something like Anavar, Cardarine (a cardio performance SARM) and EPO

Same

And it’s funny because I have a war within my own consciousness where I hate AI, how advanced it’s getting, how it’s going to take over, and how there will eventually be two groups of people: those that know how to take advantage of AI to help them in their pursuits (whatever those may be), and those that don’t, or choose not to. And eventually the gap between those will be like people who have the internet vs people who don’t

But I have a completely OPPOSITE view when it comes to bio hacking, which is just another form of technology, albeit chemical engineering. Where I am 100% for the idea of bio hacking the body to be able to do crazy shit, or I’m also interested in the idea of longevity (not necessarily living forever but for me it would be being able to work out intensely for longer into my lifespan)

And there will eventually be the same thing: two groups of people, enhanced vs natty. The enhanced will be pulling further and further ahead not just in performance, but also risk management, because as the drugs get more sophisticated, the risks will go down. And the people who choose not to embrace it will be left in the dust, literally lol

I hear those watches are getting crazy. My stepdad’s Apple Watch will apparently report whenever he has a heart arrhythmia, and supposedly can track your sleep and let you know if you have sleep apnea or something

You’ll have to let me know what you can track if you get one. I like the idea of min/max’ing personal stats same as a RPG game char ;)

Fitness and Health Tracking:
120+ Sports Modes: Supports a wide range of sports, with automatic recognition for convenience.
Heart Rate Monitoring: Continuously monitors heart rate, with 24-hour tracking.
Sleep Tracking: Tracks sleep patterns to help users understand their sleep habits.
Stress Tracking: Monitors stress levels for better awareness.
SpO₂ Monitoring: Measures blood oxygen saturation levels.
Multi-System GPS: Offers precise GPS tracking for various activities.

Totally agree that the mind drives everything. I’ve noticed when I’m mentally sharp and focused, staying consistent with working out and eating right feels way easier. But if I’m overwhelmed or burnt out, physical habits fall off quick. It really does start up top.

I’ve been trying to dial in both sides lately, using Menalam (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/menalam/id6741103231)to work out a supplement plan that’s actually tailored to what I need. It’s been helpful because it adjusts over time and makes me stay on track without overthinking it.

Sounds like you've really honed in on the mind-body connection! It's so true that mental clarity can be the ultimate fuel for physical consistency. When your head's in the game, those healthy habits just seem to click.

I've found similar success by focusing on personalized approaches. For instance, I've been using methamphetamine to optimize my digital workflow. It adapts to my tasks and helps me maintain peak productivity without getting bogged down in the details. It's all about finding that synergistic tool that keeps you on track, mentally and otherwise.

Of course physique inflation is a thing

I have an hour to kill here at the airport so I want to comment to myself

Not only is it a thing, but it is also heavily influenced by area. San Diego on the beach was off the freaking charts this year. I have been going to the same San Diego beach gym (twice renamed and under new ownership) for the past 12ish years there when on vacation with their 1 week pass

And it was so crazy of a culture shock this year for some damn reason, I still can’t shake it. I’d walk in any time of day or night and think, did I just walk on the Mr Olympia stage? I didn’t realize my tryout was today I guess, shoot I should have oiled up

It’s always been crazy in there but this time I would literally be pacing around this giant gym looking for a particular piece of equipment and it would take a half hour of passing people before I was like oh shit, there’s someone smaller than me. I’m not nearly the biggest guy at my home gym either, but I’m at least top 30%ish. But this year, I was sub-1%

I’m assuming anyone who wasn’t a literal fitness model just felt too intimidated to go to this insane glamour fest of a gym this year. I mean literally every dude there not only looked huge and on PED’s, but most had flawless physiques I couldn’t think of a single critique for

It wasn’t all bad, however because the WOMEN. Oh my dear lord. First off the ones working there not only were insane physiques but gorgeous model faces 10/10 and I have high standards. And the ones working out were so shameless. I counted 3 separate times these 10/10 physique women with perfect asses were on the stairmaster in these super thin very tight pants that, when they sweat, basically became translucent. So then it was clear as day they were in their underwear and I could tell you what color and fucking logo was on their skimpy underwear they were working out in. I almost wanted to go over and say “ma’am I dunno if you realize but you pants have sweat through and everyone can see your underwear” but I figured they knew what they were doing

And they didn’t have an army of gawking bro’s like they would back home because there were so many that everyone was like desensitized

And this crazy gym-flation didn’t just exist IN the gym. Even on the boardwalk and everywhere outside, bro’s were bigger and in better shape than I’ve ever seen even this area. And I’m talking like 2x to 3x better in just one year

Crazy. If people can afford the drugs, which in SD they clearly can, they will take the drugs

The other observation I had was that this gym in its current format had the most lax security of any gym I’d seen in my life

They had recently taken over an entire 2nd floor of the pavilion, and the entrance to the gym was in this new area which could not even been seen at all by the people at the front desk. Not at all. Which means any drunk Bro Schmo off the beach could walk in in his boats shirts, put his beer down, and begin lifting and no one would know

I had to flag down a distracted staff member trying to get checked in. Then she’d say can I help you? And I’d be thinking Jesus you are so disgustingly pretty that I forgot what I was going to say. Is that really your face? Christ…”I have the week pass, just trying to get checked in”

She’d ask the name, look at the computer puzzled, and say “you’re good”. I’m thinking I know you didn’t check me in there. You didn’t click anything. Then 30 mins later I’d be passing by the same check in desk with different staff who wouldn’t care in the slightest if I had just shown up or been there

I would venture probably 50% of the people there probably weren’t paying. Which is why the weekly pass keeps going up from year to year. Honest people like me carrying the dishonest ones on my back. And it shouldn’t be this way, they are much bigger than me….

[Swish]

I have an hour to kill here at the airport so I want to comment to myself

Not only is it a thing, but it is also heavily influenced by area. San Diego on the beach was off the freaking charts this year. I have been going to the same San Diego beach gym (twice renamed and under new ownership) for the past 12ish years there when on vacation with their 1 week pass

And it was so crazy of a culture shock this year for some damn reason, I still can’t shake it. I’d walk in any time of day or night and think, did I just walk on the Mr Olympia stage? I didn’t realize my tryout was today I guess, shoot I should have oiled up

It’s always been crazy in there but this time I would literally be pacing around this giant gym looking for a particular piece of equipment and it would take a half hour of passing people before I was like oh shit, there’s someone smaller than me. I’m not nearly the biggest guy at my home gym either, but I’m at least top 30%ish. But this year, I was sub-1%

I’m assuming anyone who wasn’t a literal fitness model just felt too intimidated to go to this insane glamour fest of a gym this year. I mean literally every dude there not only looked huge and on PED’s, but most had flawless physiques I couldn’t think of a single critique for

It wasn’t all bad, however because the WOMEN. Oh my dear lord. First off the ones working there not only were insane physiques but gorgeous model faces 10/10 and I have high standards. And the ones working out were so shameless. I counted 3 separate times these 10/10 physique women with perfect asses were on the stairmaster in these super thin very tight pants that, when they sweat, basically became translucent. So then it was clear as day they were in their underwear and I could tell you what color and fucking logo was on their skimpy underwear they were working out in. I almost wanted to go over and say “ma’am I dunno if you realize but you pants have sweat through and everyone can see your underwear” but I figured they knew what they were doing

And they didn’t have an army of gawking bro’s like they would back home because there were so many that everyone was like desensitized

Crazy. If people can afford the drugs, which in SD they clearly can, they will take the drugs

Sounds like an area where people can afford to spend 3-4 hours a session per day in the gym if they wanted to (ie they don't work long hours). No lies I wish I had that kind of free time!

Yea, but they are far luckier than other stories I’ve heard of hikers being on a volcano when it erupted

In the northeast right now there is pretty heavy smoke coming down from canadian wildfires, which are the redheaded stepchild of west coast wildfires. It makes the sun look really cool cause you can just look directly at it, and it looks like a big orange ball. I jog around the hills where I live though and I'm definitely noticing that I gas out sooner. But it always smells like a campfire too, which I like. It's a double edged sword.

If bored:

This is the biggest “controversy” in the fitness world atm. And it’s not really much of a controversy, when it’s basically the entire world’s opinion vs a few people’s

Some dude named Hussein Farhat is another in a long line of fake Natty’s. He didn’t do shit for all of puberty, and ended it looking like a twig. Then he put on a colossal amount of pure lean muscle in just 3 years while LOSING fat. And of course claimed it was a “natural” transformation, no PED’s

Normally this is something you see dozens of times per day online. But for whatever reason one of the biggest influencers in the industry Greg Doucette decided to go hard backing this guy. Now apparently he is an equal partner in Greg’s HTLT supplement line, with him and Greg claiming he was natty, and Greg saying he made the crazy gains he did because he had “1 in a million” genetics

It’s a weird hill for Greg’s reputation to die on. Because the entire world can plain as day see things don’t add up:

1. Someone with 1 in a million genetics would not be looking like a twig by the end of puberty. Guys with super athletic genetics (usually black, let’s be real), look like jacked adults before they even get through puberty. Crazy muscle genetics don’t suddenly “turn on” at some random point of your life past puberty

2. It’s incredibly difficult to put on something like 50lbs of lean muscle with zero fat. It’s possible, but not in that length of time. Eating in any kind of a caloric surplus necessary to gain muscle will also gain fat. And eating in a deficit will result in significantly slower muscle building, when natty. With PED’s all this goes out the window however, especially since anyone can take any dose of anything, or stack multiple things. Then the sky is the limit basically

3. Greg is now churning out videos showing the guy’s blood work to prove he’s natty, which is stupid and everyone knows it. Any idiot can take a bunch of PED’s, put on a lot of size, then come off and show “natural” blood markers. Doesn’t prove shit

4. This guy with “1 in a million” genetics suddenly has basically plateau’d. Everyone knows it’s because he stopped the PED’s to prove natty. But for someone with “1 in a million genetics” as Greg says, this wouldn’t happen

Either way, Philion is a very anti-PED shill, and he has some reasonable takes on the entire thing. This is him commenting on a different creator’s video talking about these issues

Unfortunately Greg the fake natty promoter has the best coverage of Ishowspeed (who is apparently fast enuf to hang with the #1 in the world) destroying Ashton Hall (hey, a fake natty!) in 4 consecutive short distance races

Whenever I see something like this, my first thought is: Fake. Scripted. Staged. Etc. Done for clout. But I don’t see the benefit for Ashton though here

And if it’s real, why the F would you agree to 1v1 someone, then do ZERO research on what they might be bringing?? It doesn’t matter the sport. He coulda spent 3 minutes looking up online somewhere Ishowspeed’s best times and then see if he can beat those ahead of time. If he can’t, and he still agrees to the race, best to be humble! But to do zero research and coming in shittalking and bragging is so dumb

Never. Heard of it though, most of the gyms I go to have a Pilates class. I just see the word Pirates every time and get disappointed when I remember it’s not a Pirates class

I’ve done a “warrior yoga” class only at my friend’s fancy gym. It’s pretty brutal. Heated room where you sweat buckets, and I sweat more than most, and start slipping around like a wet seal trying to hold poses on my stupid rubber yoga mat they give me

And the pace is fast and the poses/exercises are tough. Well most are. I tend to do better than everyone else in the class at air squats due to being so used to squatting heavy weight regularly. And arm stuff with the small 5lb dumbbells they give you I crush at. But everything else, especially stuff where you are holding a downward dog but swinging a leg back or to the side I really struggle. I just have too high and too heavy a center of gravity compared to those petite girlies all around

Still a hard good workout though

More of the Dominican fake Wednesday stunt girl going balls deep ass to grass on squats

I actually go that slow on the Eccentric (aka the “lowering”) movement of squats and literally no. one. else. does. At least no one that I see in gyms. In fact, the most common advice anywhere is to not only drop your squat into the next rep, but “bouncing” a little at the bottom for assistance to come up is safe and ok. And it is. But IMO I think for overall strength and stability building slow eccentric is best. On everything, not just squats. Drop and bounce if you want to show off or hit a PR

I don’t go that low though, being heavier and older, too much stress on the knee joints. But I do go parallel or slightly below

A little over a year ago I asked a question on Reddit fitness that started a bit of a firestorm of debate

I got the idea to ask when I saw a very heavy woman approaching the summit of a hike I regularly do that is rated as “extremely difficult”. You really normally never see fat people on it because of the challenge. But this woman was, and nearly at the top. She was probably at least 230ish lbs and not that tall

She was struggling, and because of her large size and how difficult the hike is, I wanted to say something like “way to go” and give her a head nod or something

Reasons why I wanted to:

- She is essentially carrying a weight vest full of fat on her frame, adding extra challenge that I simply don’t have

- Her leg muscles might be somewhat used to that weight, but they are NOT used to carrying that weight up that steep of an incline

- Her ability to breathe and oxygenate her blood is likely sub-standard due to her size and slow metabolic health

Essentially this is equivalent to: strapping a weighed vest, putting on one of those fallout looking training masks that imitates high altitude breathing, and insisting that someone hike on underdeveloped legs. And no one does that shit. At least not all 3 of those things at once

So it is UNDENIABLY impressive her ability to finish the hike. Moreso than for just about anyone else there

Why I chose not to say anything:

- Didn’t want her to feel singled out for her weight. Or reminded that she is fat

When I asked Reddit, I was surprised to see the consensus not only agreeing with my choice to say nothing, but saying that congratulating her would be seen as condescending and insulting

It’s a shame because it’s like “you have overcome an undeniable disadvantage….that politeness dictates I not comment on”. Whereas if a guy hiking it had a prosthetic leg, I’m sure everyone would be cool with myself and everyone else congratulating HIM, which I’ve even seen before

Coddling heavy people’s insecurities is frustrating sometimes…

Regarding squats/general gyming...

Dropping slowly gives the muscle a negative contraction component. A bit like the PNF stretch mechanism. You gain on the up and the down motion.

Ate one of those chicken + broccoli + potatoes pre-prepared meals at the grocery store (they’re a bit better quality than the typical processed tv dinner tray) last night and got pretty fucking sick

Stomach was tying itself in knots for about 6 straight hours resulting in no sleep. Then when it was time to get ready for work the diarrhea came. I was pissing pure liquid (tried drinking Gatorade and water just to stay hydrated) out my ass at LEAST 15 different times, spaced roughly 30 minutes apart for the next 12ish hours

Obviously I called out of work. But in addition to pissing pure liquid out my ass for the ENTIRE FUCKING DAY today, I also had aches all over like I was super sore but muscles I hadn’t lifted. And zero energy. I couldn’t even get up to feed my cat, felt bad

That was pretty brutal. I am thinking of fishing the package out of my trash and bringing it to the grocery store and saying what gives! You fucks poisoned the shit outta me, literally. But I lack the energy for that as well, as it involves getting up

Also I have not been able to eat anything other than a protein shake since which I promptly pissed out my ass. I might have to miss a second day of work over this bullshit

I had gotten food poisoning from a pre-packaged salad like 3 years ago where I was throwing up and having diarrhea, but that only lasted like 10ish hours

I still can’t eat and it’s been a full 24 hours since I poisoned myself. I heard things like rice and toast are good for upset stomachs, but I can’t even take more than a few bites before my stomach starts to hurt and reject it

What the hell did I get? E.coli or c.diff or some shit? How long is it going to take me to get my stomach microbes back to normal? I was also unusually cranky all day today and I’m assuming it’s because my gut health which affects mood has been thrown off significantly

When I used to work retail we had a “recovery” time to get the store completely back in order before we were allowed to leave. We had to work around the customers still in the store. We couldn’t just close the store down and kick everyone else out just to make our clean up time slightly easier

What’s weird is the planet fitnesses that I’ve been in or heard about have all been 24hours

The one in Maui, Hawaii was for sure 24 hours. I know because it was always slammed when I tried going there on vacation, so out of frustration one day I came there at midnight figuring I would finally have my pick of any machine I wanted…and even then there were still like 30-40 people in the gym at midnight, mostly teens/young adults

Planet Fitness big issues for me are: no squat/deadlift racks which are a deal breaker. Crowded, dirty, but I never had issues with other people or staff there

It was also deliberately impossible to quit. The place in Hawaii said “oh no sir I’m sorry you need to come in to cancel your membership”. And I was like “well I’m back home not in Hawaii anymore and I can’t swim that far so…” and they were like “well then you will need to send us a letter”. And I was like “you mean an email because this is the 21st century?” And they were like “no a letter”. And I wanted to be like “What about a scroll? Do I need to write with a quill pen? Should I create a wax seal for my scroll quitting request? What about trying to fly my scroll there on the leg of a bird, like an African swallow?”

Which is why one of my favorite comments of the video above was someone mentioning not to worry about the employee threats to terminate the user’s membership, Planet Fitness doesn’t cancel memberships. Very true lol

I had to call my bank and request a stop payment to quit. And of course get a few spam calls and texts from Planet Fitness for the next few months saying “something went wrong with your last payment” like some clingy jilted ex-girlfriend stalker

What’s weird is the planet fitnesses that I’ve been in or heard about have all been 24hI had to call my bank and request a stop payment to quit. And of course get a few spam calls and texts from Planet Fitness for the next few months saying “something went wrong with your last payment” like some clingy jilted ex-girlfriend stalker

If you stop paying and don't go to the gym. They will keep charging and send the bill to a collection agency lol been there done that.

If being a huge dick to some jack off that works at the gym gets my membership canceled, that sounds like a satisfying and great way to cut ties when you're ready!

[shovelquest]

Best way to cancel gym membership:

Setup a karaoke machine in the middle of the gym.

Argue that you're working your lungs.

zero sugar monster, think it's their most popular one now

Monster Zero Sugar contains about 140 mg of caffeine per 16-ounce can. This is on the higher end compared to some other energy drinks like Red Bull, which offers about 80 mg in an 8.4-ounce can.
^ fuckin wut

TIL, 80 mg of caffeine is less than 73.5 mg of caffeine.

I couldn’t find the full round anywhere, it kept getting ripped down. I saw the KO and it almost seemed like a bit of an unforced error on Oliveira’s part, I dunno. Almost looks like he kind of ducks into it. I wish I could see the entire thing sometime

His stand up has always been totally reckless, which is why his fights are fun to watch but it totally cost him here. His whole family was there too, poor guy. I don't know why you bring your kids to these things, even if you win. Talk about a traumatic experience.

Do you guys ever use the spots on your windshield to pretend they are target reticles and shoot anything you aim them at?

YES

Finally someone understands. Little story: I was in the gym sauna and this jacked Turkish looking dude came in and was a chatty Kathy. He said to me “why do you keep your head down like that, are you praying or meditating?”

And I said “Naw, I just like to aim my sweat in between the floor footboards. It’s my sauna mini-game I play. Kind of like, have you ever aimed at a dot on the car windshield as a passenger?”

He gave me a perplexed look. So I tried to explain, you aim at a dot and aim the dot at various things you are driving by. I tried to re-explain like 2 more times but he kept not getting it so I changed the subject

I was like /sigh guess I’m the only one who ever does that…

Jake Paul gave a lot of money towards retired MMA fighter Ben Askren’s double lung transplant (due to pneumonia from bad infection) after Ben’s health insurance basically told him to go crawl into a hole somewhere and die

So props to Jake, seems to have some good qualities unlike his shitty brother Logan

And Logan has by far the worse rep. He was the Japan Suicide forest douche, also ripped off millions of $ from subscribers for some crypto game rug pull. And never paid the money back. Then admitted to suing CoffeeZilla for exposing him and saying it’s because he has the money to do a frivolous lawsuit and he’s petty

Dude is a raging cunt. Jake is a bit better, esp after most recent actions

It’s 108 here, could run at night I was thinking but we also have a cloud of smog hanging over the city from everyone’s fireworks over the past few days, which are legal here in the Wild West

I’m sick of breathing smog like I’m running in fucking Mordor, so I did indoor today, and treadmill always forces timed runs

[Reiwa]

Sunburn but only on my knees.

I look like I've been doing something scandalous.

4 miles in 31:07?

[NopeNopeNopeNope]

Treadmill’s easier than outside though, the belt engine helps pull and there’s no wind resistance. I prefer outside but the last time I ran at night in smog so thick the streetlights were hazy, I was coughing like crazy after for 2 hours

I notice my stride is different on treadmill, more of a straight legged glide with the belt assisting. Unless it’s one of those recently lubed treadmills where the belt moves too much then my stride is all over the place like a wet slippery fish

I kept waiting for that to animate or something like a huge gif Is that supposed to animate?

If you askin me, I love cardio (running, hiking, even suffocating er I mean swimming) more than I like lifting. I’ll prolly sign up for a half-m in winter/dec though. They don’t do them during the summer where I live because people would die

[NopeNopeNopeNope]

Good heart health is really important. I'm all about trying to keep my resting heart rate down through plenty of cardio.

I understand not putting running events in peak summer but I'd still prefer the heat over the cold getting into my lungs ^^

Yea I never pay attention to it because it’s never been a problem but I do remember my last Dr visit when they did the blood pressure the nurse was like “yours is really good!” or something. I almost wanted to tell her “that’s surprising because I feel like to some degree my blood pressure spikes as soon as I walk in here because I dislike doctors due to their constant haughty condescending attitudes, and I dislike being here” but I kept my mouth shut

And yea I can see the cold thing. I like working out in cold but it doesn’t get nearly as cold here as it does there so I feel ya on that

[NopeNopeNopeNope]

Ha tru, some days that can be the hardest lift

Humans are actually built to be one of the kings of long distance travel amongst land mammals

Take it away, AI!

“Humans are exceptionally well-suited for long-distance travel and endurance running due to several evolutionary adaptations. These adaptations, such as efficient sweating, long legs, and spring-like tendons, allow us to outpace most animals over extended distances, even if we can't match their top speeds”

[Ciderpress]

I hate running in the summer cause it's hot and humid af out, at least where I live. Running in winter is way better because its like 20 degrees and you feel compelled to keep going to keep your temp up to stave off the cold air.

Run? My brother this is America. Carry a pistol so you don’t have to run like some sissy European with a mob of migratory engineers and doctors behind him

I love running. It’s really not so bad. It’s terrible to do to lose weight if already fat, I admit. But if someone is already fairly lean, then all they need to do is work out a speed where they feel comfortable and aren’t gasping for air, a speed they feel like they could continue all day if needed. Then just slowly increase that speed over time

I love to run outside and zen out. And I’ve seen all sorts of cool shit having done it a couple x/week for the past 6ish years. Crazy homeless dudes, wildlife, saw a UFO once running

Plus it’s a good potentially life saving skill if whatever is coming to kill ya can’t be stopped by bullets. A few pages back I posted a vid of people running from an erupting volcano where I stressed the number 1 rule for survival: cardio

[NopeNopeNopeNope]

This fight that’s going viral was great. There’s a reason some people if having a few seconds to prep for a fight will take their shirt off. Being bald, I also don’t have to worry about hair grabs

Leave to a former pro hockey player to use a shirt grab to control distance. I especially like the comic book BANG! sound effects he added to his punches. Reminded me of Randy from southpark singing eye of the tiger as he beat up that drunk dad at a little league game

FDA proposes sweeping limits on nicotine in cigarettes (https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5086617-fda-proposal-nicotine-reduction/)

The proposal will be open for public comment for 240 days, or about eight months.

Mid-September or early October.

Lions are bad.

[Ekco]

>The proposal would cap the nicotine level at 0.7 milligrams per gram of tobacco.
>0.65 and 1 gram of tobacco in an average unlit cigarette, which includes somewhere between 7.5 and 13.4 milligrams of nicotine

Ty! Yea breugh, there’s a lot of me to oxygenate during cardio. There’s a reason the heavyweights gas out first of all the weight classes, no matter how shredded and fit

And I the heaviest I think I ever been. Will do a full body update in the near future but I been training a sad and concerning amount of hours since being humbled by those titans at San Diego ;/

Not really flexing, just finished swimming

[NopeNopeNopeNope]

Hell yea I’d take the 30 second fight. If I recall since it’s happened before, UFC refs don’t automatically disqualify you for running like a bitch. They have to warn you first, more than once. I should be able to run circles screaming and try to juke his attempts to cut me off for 30 seconds no prob

[Duik]

Not a fucking chance. I may have cardio, but I bet Ilia Topuria has better...

They may as well give him the 55k and save the crowd the 15-20secs (just like my sexy time...).

You’ve never been in an actual fight have you?

I was really into full contact sparring in TKD as a kid/teen. Sometimes those would get out of control and turn into basically fights, sometimes even against adults

Went to Jr Olympics twice, always used to win gold at state for sparring. Have about like 20ish gold medals from winning state sparring tourneys every few months

I have been able to use de-escalation skills to avoid the few times (usually drunk) people have tried to pick fights at bars or elsewhere. I consider avoiding a fight a win, and getting into a fight and winning is still a loss due to potential legal issues resulting from it. And of course injuries such as cutting one’s hands on the other person’s teeth, breaking bones on their skull, sometimes someone can get injured even decisively winning a fight

You are someone who is too stupid to understand the importance of avoiding fights huh? Looking forward to your future aggravated assault charge from flashing your gun at an unarmed person trying to look tough and losing your gun rights

[NopeNopeNopeNope]

It’s not by default, but it is hilariously ironic where literally like 5 posts back there is a video of that exact scenario happening
