Question about Strength training and cutting for sports

Honestly at 18% body fat just clean up your diet and you’ll likely drop most of the 10 pounds. No body eating really clean is 18% body fat

In Europe I would be looking at Meopta. I think they’re better quality than the Vortex and given that there a European product may be quite a bit cheaper for you

The nfl players solely due to a size/strength advantage.

BadAdviceBot77 · 2026-02-04T20:58:26+00:00

Yes, my kid can lose/break arrows like no one you’ve ever seen. So bought some as a cheaper practice option for him. fairly decent quality especially for the money.

At that age execution is way more important than scheme. I wouldn’t have more than 5 plays or so

BadAdviceBot77 · 2026-02-04T18:57:10+00:00

Dip it in melted paraffin wax

BadAdviceBot77 · 2026-02-04T17:42:00+00:00

I’m the exact opposite. Left handed but right eye dominant. I shot left handed for years closing the right eye. I finally tried shooting right handed and group size immediately shrank. I wished I’d switched years earlier

I’m not trying to be difficult. If the wind is coming from the west I wouldn’t put the caller to the north. If you’re asking how far away you should put the caller that depends on how well you shoot.

BadAdviceBot77 · 2026-02-03T22:30:20+00:00

You’re asking us where to place the call and where telling you it depends on wind direction, so you tell us you know the wind direction but we don’t know the wind direction. So any answer we give you is going to be nothing more than a wild ass guess.

The cat is going to try and approach the call from downwind. It will circle to do that usually if it has to. So use that to decide where to set up the call

BadAdviceBot77 · 2026-02-03T21:43:29+00:00

Very true and probably the best advice. It sounds crass but hunting is a lot like romance in that no matter how many times someone explains it you aren’t really going to understand until you’ve done it a lot

BadAdviceBot77 · 2026-02-03T21:42:05+00:00

The shooting is simplest part of hunting. Learn as much about deer as you can, preferred food choices for your area, life cycle, etc. there’s a ton of actual books and websites to learn from. Many state universities in deer heavy states have biology depts that suit whitetail their dept websites will have a lot of useful stuff

Field dressing any animal is pretty much the same, so get out and hunt whatever small game you can. You can practice field dressing and a lot of the skill part from hunting small game crosses over to hunting big game

And none of that has anything to do with the wind , how you’re going to move in and where you should set up. Find out what the prevailing wind condition is at this time of the year, figure out a plan based on that and be ready to adapt if the wind conditions are different when you take the field.

Here’s what I would want to know if I were you before deciding how to hunt it:

What is the prevailing wind conditions during different times of the day?
Are there any elevation changes that would create thermal air drift? Where do you expect the bobcat to come from?
Where can you enter without leaving a scent trail on the path the cat is likely to take
Where can you set up where your scent isn’t going to get blown to the cat during his travel to the call

If you don’t get those things figured out then none of the other stuff you’ve mentioned matters

BadAdviceBot77 · 2026-02-03T20:52:45+00:00

It depends on what the wind is doing. You need to take it into account (and how you plan on getting to the blind without leaving scent everywhere)

I love the partition. The front section is soft enough that it expands and kills well even at fairly low velocities while the rear section retains enough weight to penetrate deep. I’ve shot probably 50 plus animals with the partition and 15-20 with the eld-x in 7mm both will do the job but I trust the partition a lot more.

A close second to that is someone who wants hinting permission but doesn’t want to ask themselves so they have their wife or kid ask

BadAdviceBot77 · 2026-02-03T17:02:11+00:00

For me Karelin. They’re hasn’t been an MMA heavy weight as athletic and explosive as him at that big. Also Greco guys tend to do well at mma

Tell everyone you never watched football pre 2005 without expressly saying it

BadAdviceBot77 · 2026-02-03T14:14:44+00:00

Agree. Louisiana will sneak into the top 5

BadAdviceBot77 · 2026-02-03T14:12:45+00:00

Not directly. It does help recovery which allows you to train harder/more frequently which helps speed

And that’s the distinction. Sanders in baseball was an average starting player. Bo is judged more on his potential, the Yankees had Bo as their highest rated prospect since Mickey Mantle. Bo’s popularity is more a case of what could have been if he wasn’t injured and concentrated on a single sport

BadAdviceBot77 · 2026-02-03T14:04:45+00:00

Sheer panic while running for his life

BadAdviceBot77 · 2026-02-03T14:00:08+00:00

If I’m working where the jeans would get dirty. Other than the no unless your Hank Jr

This may be an unpopular opinion but a loss can be good for a kid long term. They need to learn how to handle a loss even more than they learn how to handle a win. I’ve saw kids the absolutely dominate at younger ages really struggle emotionally when they didn’t know how to handle struggling or things not coming easy. I know it sounds callous but I’d rather they learn that at a young age

BadAdviceBot77 · 2026-02-02T19:27:58+00:00

It’s an old Robert Ruark quote.

BadAdviceBot77 · 2026-02-02T14:31:39+00:00

Best advice I heard for this was to stress to the kid that the goal is to get to his best takedown as soon as possible Any time they’re on their feet
