    Taking Creatine Without Gaining Face Weight

    Maybe try a better digestible form at a lower dose and increase fluid intake??? It might go away over time as 2g of creatine is not supposed to cause weight gain: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20591625/ I have tried all forms of creatine and even in doses as low as 1g with fancy versions, I...

    Cuban Boxing Fundamentals

    The education system in general. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with the govn't sponsored sports. But from appearances, they are doing pretty great in certain Olympic sports. It would be a cool thing to study for sure.

    Cuban Boxing Fundamentals

    This is taken for many years of teaching, curriculum development, and eventual management within the Chinese education system which was based on the Soviet era model of education. If this is different from your experiences, please let me know. Generally speaking, education under this style of...

    Cuban Boxing Fundamentals

    This channel is quite good. But u must understand the nature of the teaching philosophy. It's from the soviet school and as such is very attached to it's to it's teaching methodology. This can be seen in the video about the hook to the liver out of a pendulum step, imo. I'm no expert in...

    I got my wisdom teeth removed last thursday how long before i can spar?

    A friend of mine had her wisdom teeth out and was able to do drills after a few days. She was able to do light sparring after a week, but this was very light sparring. I definitely don't recommend this tho.

    Best aphrodisiac foods for men

    Supplement wise: 5-10g of maca, agmatine, ashwaghandha, icariin (or horny goat weed with high icariin content) are all great. Longjack is supposed to be good Also, take ur vitamin D3. No idea about food.

    Feints into overhands?

    The jab-feint use by Canelo above was beautiful. I've used the right hook to the body to set it up before while boxing with decent success. In muay thai, I like to use it if I see my opponent using his right hand to parry my left teep. To be honest, regardless of the style, it depends on who...

    Do you guys use any adaptogens for recovery?

    I couldn't say if I notice a direct effect on performance. But for that short time, it seems to reduce my overall stress level which helps me train more in the gym.

    Not touching chest on bench press

    If your lifting to get stronger for mma then bench press is a general conditioning exercise. The training for the sport rough on ur body enough, there is no need to damage ur body with supplemental exercises. If stopping above ur chest doesn't make ur shoulder hurt then do it that way. Is it...

    Broke Knuckle (3rd metacarpal)

    U'll be fine, bro. While u let it heal, just focus on working your lead hand techniques. I did the same when I dislocated a finger during jiu jitsu. In the month of healing time, I definitely improved my jab and left hook. When u can use ur right hand again, maybe get those winning...

    Do you guys use any adaptogens for recovery?

    I like eleuthero (siberian ginseng) the best. It makes me really mellow. Effects wear off in like 4-6 weeks tho. I've only used the Now Foods brand and take like 3g a day. Ashwaghandha is good too but it's difficult to say if I feel anything from it. Never noticed anything from Cordyceps or...

    Got a boxer's fracture many years ago being dumb and punching someone in the nose/forehead region. It healed on its own and never had a problem with it since.

    Making yourself throw up at the end of your cheat day

    Binging is disordered eating. It's a bad idea to replace that disordered eating with even more disordered eating like binging and purging. For now, if ur gonna binge try controlling how much u eat. It will be difficult at first, but keep practicing this skill. It might be helpful to figure...

    shadow boxing with small weights

    I like to use 1 lb dumbbells during shadow. Maybe 1.5 lbs max. Higher weights would be good for burnouts or similar conditioning drills but even 2 lb db's would be equivalent to 32 oz boxing gloves and maybe a bit excessive for regular shadow work. I would guess using heavier dumbbells in...

    Sticking to a diet ...

    I've done the only drinking protein shake think for like a month. Lost a decent amount of weight but I can't say it helped with my desire to eat less sugar. It also was not very fun. Crash diets can be useful in certain contexts but to be honest, they have had zero effect on my normal diet...

    BCAAs are made of duck feathers. wtf

    I like me some hydrolyzed duck feathers. But then again, even my rest day workouts are no shorter than 90 min. Not necessary for someone who is exercising a few times a week. But I personally like to sip 15g in my shake during a workout. With pepto-pro and MCT or HBCD, it's great for...

    kicking speed

    I recently have been focusing on improving my kicking speed and I found a few things that helped. It's difficult to describe but I will try my best. One was transferring my weight from my back foot to my front foot as fast as possible. I do this as I twist my hips, whipping my hip on the...

    Wrapping elbows Vs wrapping knees?

    It can help for sure. but is not a cure-all. Using elbow sleeves, ice, massage, nsaids, and backing off on exercises that make my elbow hurt have all played a part in making my elbow less f*cked up. I don't think it will even be 100% tho. Etodolac and curcumin phytosome are also great...
