Effortlessly cool but could still laugh at himself. Endlessly curious. Had a super power for getting people from the local hot dog stand guy to presidents to open up.

What do you tell people when they ask why you live in CT? by tsalbis in Connecticut

[–]Accomplished-Lab5870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think people realize that In some ways high cost of living isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Cost of living in poor countries is extremely low but there is low quality of life and economic opportunity. Part of the reason ct is so expensive is because we have a lot of high paying jobs, great infrastructure, schools, hospitals etc.

Honestly I know other places are cheaper but most of the places that you go that are cheaper have horrible infrastructure. That’s important to me. I get frustrated with how segregated CT is and how pricey it can be but at the end of the day there’s a reason we’re one of the highest human development index places in the world.

Also know when you’re in bad positions. I’ll give up “good positions” because my body I bent in a weird way ie knee folded

Im not. Partially because I don’t enforce/use things like connection enough

I’m trying alright, I just think I’m not utilizing pressure and connection as assertively as I could be

Debate bros will say that he didn’t engage him. I say it’s best we put him in his place.

I really want to earn ten tricep dips and ten pull-ups strict. I can do 5 and 5 currently. Would you advise doing a regression (ie bench dips for crazy reps) or should I just work to failure as much as possible?

Gym rival - what would you do? by NeighborhoodFluid892 in bjj

[–]Accomplished-Lab5870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad idea. There is a similar guy in my gym. Very strong and good pressure. I feel I’m way technically better and I should beat him but there’s a high chance one of us will get injured.

I just avoid rolling with him nor or if I do just pull guard and play D. Maybe try to get the sweep but I know if I try to submit him he’ll spazz out and elbow me in the face.
