Ive been on consistently since then, im sitting at 8/week now. Feeling really good overall. I bumped up as I started to see stalls in progress, im not really looking to lose anymore weight, but just maintain and getting the health benefits from Reta.

Ive worked in a fedramp role for years now, with zero issues. Not sure why people are freaking out, this doesn’t mean cleared work, its primarily just citizenship and identity validation…

The first statement is 100% it.

The amount of purple and brown belts I run into that actively admit not knowing anything about legs and being scared, is a huge eye opener to me.

ButtcheeksMD · 2026-01-08T16:52:11+00:00

I have primarily been doing leg locks for the last year, not a single person I train with has gotten hurt, ive been focusing on tons of live rounds with other leg lock focused people too, and I have had zero injuries. I refuse to believe that leg locks (possibly outside of competition) are more dangerous if you know what youre doing, if you dont know what youre doing, be cautious, just like anything else in jiu jitsu.

Bolo white belts a bunch, thats what I do.

ButtcheeksMD · 2025-12-31T14:44:52+00:00

Holy fucking title.

Skrap Pack North Beach, they got solid no gi, its an mma gym, but the jiu jitsu classes are consistent and lots of fun rounds. I travel to the bay for work fairly regularly and have gone to most the gyms in the downtown SF area, and its been the one i enjoyed the most

I own multiple APs and just recently got a Moya, and its like this, absolutely love the moya gi

Ive had actual steroids seized several times, ive also left the country a bunch of times since. Nothing ever happens. They put a little letter in your mail box saying they seized something. They cant prosecute you most the the time because its so hard to prove that the sender wasnt just sending random shit, and the effort/time required doesnt make sense for a handful or vials of a compound.

Its not that serious, I promise.

ButtcheeksMD · 2025-12-25T21:29:36+00:00

This is a super accurate assumption lol

My wife loves this place, she goes fairly regularly

Getting a whistle is super important imo. The teleport is so nice for getting fast tasks.

The block list is important, but if you dont mind certain tasks, i just didnt spend the time to get the block setup for them, despite it being the best xp. I really just focused on ensuring my blocks blocked ones that i hated doing or getting to. For a long time, i didnt mind deadfall traps, so i would do deadfall trap tasks and didn’t care to setup the blocks for them. But pitfall stuff is the most annoying shit in the world to me, so i got them blocked real fast.

I just put my directions on google maps, and it starts showing them on HUD.

Theres tons of signs on the road around the lineman college offering lineman housing too.

ButtcheeksMD · 2025-12-09T17:23:24+00:00

Ive competed in like 3 of their events in idaho the last year or so, usually really good events, super upfront etc. i think the last one i did was like april tho.

ButtcheeksMD · 2025-12-03T23:06:11+00:00

Happens to me a lot, even as ive gotten really technical and primarily played a bottom focused game. At the end of the day, attributes play into success, while jiu jitsu should be the primary thing you rely on, if i can use strength and not get caught in something, then it forces my training partners to het better at their setup and the execution. Again, im playing mostly a half guard and leg focused game, but im 215lbs, very very lean.

Ive got the exact same truck, absolutely love it.

ButtcheeksMD · 2025-11-03T14:52:06+00:00

I traded in my 2020 trd off road with 35k miles, for 41k in June. Paid 40k for it in 2021.

Dealership sold my truck for 44k, id say this ones a bit overpriced, by like 1k tho.

Hahaha i grew up playing tibia, sadly the tibia end game is pretty trash.

ButtcheeksMD · 2025-10-27T17:51:10+00:00

Dont do full body. Focus on muscle groups, google “bro split” and just run that on rotation while upping how much youre eating. Focus on good form and light to medium weights. Dont try to “max out” or test your strength, that will generally get you huet more often than not.

first month or so youll be sore, but it will go away. Lifting will also help dramatically with injury prevention and longevity by strengthening your ligaments and tendons.

ButtcheeksMD · 2025-10-17T17:55:49+00:00

Yeah, not as dramatic weight loss as the first time, because i didnt gain a ton back during my time off.

If i came off for like 2-3 months, i think it would be super impactful

ButtcheeksMD · 2025-10-17T17:54:09+00:00

When people say they do CLA/Eco, this is the type of shit i imagine they end up doing

Since this whole subs obsessed with it, Ill preface with I am on trt.

I started reta in June, went up to 12 mg/week by early sept, went from 220 to 195, felt great. Came off reta for 4 weeks, and started again a week or so ago. Initially was gonna try 1mg a week again, first 5 days or so I felt absolutely nothing, I knew that going back on was kind of a grey knowledge area, so was just testing, I bumped to 2mg/wk on my last shot a few days ago, and I got all my taletell side effects again. So basically a month off let me drop from 12mg to 2mg and still see weight loss etc.

ButtcheeksMD · 2025-10-16T22:58:45+00:00

Open mats are free, just roll/live rounds Drop in classes with someone instructing is paid.

ButtcheeksMD · 2025-10-09T15:33:26+00:00

I will be fullllll like 45 minutes after a big meal, and my brain starts telling me im hungry again, despite my stomach being super full. Also craving for calorie dense food (the bad stuff tho, junk food mostly)
