I was on Google Maps out in front of my old apartment for a hot minute. The Google van caught me walking down the street in the middle of the day. I used to show it to people all the time. However I was in a major city and I'm assuming Streetview gets redone every couple of years there, so about...

Just install Ublock Origin. With Youtube's new bullshit you have to update it & restart Chrome every once in a while, but it absolutely works. I'm listening to Youtube ad-free right now

I wonder why that is though. Don't people say gi grappling is all about grip strength? Does CoC just not carry over to gi gripping specifically? I mean your hand is mostly closed for both activities, so it seems like it would?

I've been thinking a lot about changing existing MMA rules/the UFC paradigm to make for a more interesting sport. In Part 1 I asked about MMA without a cage, in part 2 I asked about MMA with wrestling shoes on...

It's almost certainly because your forearms are tight. The tight muscles tug on your ligaments, making them grouchy. Here's what's worked for me (same thing with achilles heel tendonitis): 1. DON'T do static stretches of your forearms. Anyone who tells you to do that, just walk away. That was...

But savate has kicks with shoes on, including headkicks. They probably make the edge of the shoe soft to avoid cuts, but- savate's been a martial art for over a century, so it seems doable

A couple months ago I started a thread asking if anyone else wanted to see MMA without the cage- maybe like an open mat https://forums.sherdog.com/threads/anyone-else-hoping-to-see-mma-without-the-cage-take-off.4294324/#post-171261694 In general I want to see more experimentation with different...

Because as described there was a sketchy-looking pimp now on my property too. Multiple sketchy people = me grabbing my gun. Didn't think this was something I really needed to explain, to be honest

When I was a real estate agent in a big city- years and years ago- we discovered that one of our agents was a high-end call girl on the side. No joke, she had a whole website under a fake name, with pics that had her face blurred out but you could tell it was her. $400 an hour. She was fairly...

They were on my front deck 4 feet from my door! If my neighbor wanted privacy to bang hookers, he shouldn't live in a condo building. How tolerant are you of people bringing sketchy tweakers to your front door?

I mean to be clear she didn't look like, homeless with sores or anything like that. Just that, having some life experience, my guess would be she does a lot of something. There was definitely a lot of fidgeting going on. The blond looked OK lol, I only saw her for a second though

Me grabbing the Glock and not the AR is showing restraint lol

We're in a condo association- I look out my front door and see a kind of sketchy-looking woman on our deck. I ask her if I can help her, she has some random story about cleaning while she's fidgeting a ton. Definitely looks like she does a lot of hard drugs, no question. Then I see the guy who...

Hit exact parallel last night for a few sets and feel 'OK' today, as an update. A clear upgrade from going a bit below parallel last week. Yeah weakness somewhere could be it. You think there's anything to all the psoas stuff out there? Lots of people talking about 'stretching' the psoas, lots...

Not sure about my back, but my hip impingement really really does not like Bulgarian split squats, at all. Before my current back pain started, I tried Bulgarians 2 separate times and each time my hip hurt for like 3-4 months nonstop. (I tried it twice because I am very smart). My PT told me to...

And ironically I am of Scottish ancestry. It all makes sense now lol. (Plays bagpipe mournfully). I actually have heard roughly the same thing before about hip shape and northern European ancestry, I'd completely forgotten that. I don't think it was framed as just Scottish last time I heard it...

How does this work for squats? Is most lengthened the top of the squat (so you're not really doing much), or the bottom when you're in a crouch? I guess you could sort of hold that bottom squat like you're taking a dump outside and burn your quads out. Sounds miserable though lol

Thanks. I got the same result from the leg press machine. I'll try some of those other variations you mentioned. I was considering just doing max ROM on the leg curl machine, maybe 1 leg at a time (obviously in addition to squatting). Is it kinda lame? Sure. But at least I'm exercising the...

Like at or below parallel. If you're a millennial or don't know who Kurt Cobain was, this thread isn't for you. I've reached A Certain Age and I've discovered that my body no longer really cares for squatting below parallel, whereas 10 years ago it wasn't an issue. I have a hip impingement...

Sounds like we may basically be in agreement then, if you think it's about the different way that diesel fuel is treated in different areas. But why wouldn't they treat diesel in Michigan down to the same temps that they do in Canada? Maybe the additive is expensive so they try to ration it...
