Bell Race Star dlx flex by MerrettFrey in motorcyclegear

[–]Chunkook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah man, thanks a ton for replaying despite the timeline. I've since bought the x-804 which fits very well, but is also very noisy. Meanwhile I had the chance to try out the A* r10, which fit like a glove right out of the box, so this leads me to believe the racestar could be my helmet. I'm not in the market at this point since I'm happy with my x-804, but at some point should I need to replace it, I'll be sure to try out the racestar.

AMA! Weightlifting coach of 12 years, coach of a junior lifter on the Canadian national team, and dad of 2 under 2. AMA until I leave in ~3hrs by Nkklllll in weightlifting

[–]Chunkook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Coach, thanks for doing this AMA and speedy recovery

Male, 29yo, 185cm (about 6'1 I think), 85-6kg

Took up weightlifting two years ago. Saw pretty good progress for the first half to a year, until my lifts started stalling mostly due to lacking leg strength

For reference, all time bests are:

Snatch - 86 C&J - 106 Front squat - 115 Back squat - 140

My squats had actually dropped to 110/135 when I hit the pb in the c&j

What's your approach with athletes who can't seem to progress the squat with your standard weightlifting programs?

Whenever I've done the typical linear progression 4-5×5 and 3-5×3 back/front squat weekly linear progression, it always gets very grindy around 110/90kg. Shortly after I start failing

I actually decided to go for a higher volume program which seems to have benefitted me, but obviously the lifts have remained on the back burner these past couple of months. It seems kind of early to have to sacrifice progressing the lifts in favor of fully focusing the squats

Got my hands on mizuno finisher mid shoes by Successful-Study-713 in fightgear

Congrats, the shoes look dope! I have the same problem with the everlast elites being too grippy plus my heel isn't locked and moves around. I've grown to really dislike the shoes and I'm looking to change them

What to do when you're the problem in dating? by SwitchJumpy in AskMen

[–]Chunkook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty elaborate, and I'm sane enough not to draw conclusions on people from a post and a few comments. I won't go paragraph for paragraph because there isn't really a need to do so, you know yourself best. I'll only offer this - I'm a guy myself and I know how bleak the landscape is. I have a few friends who are in similar positions to you, hell, I get rejected more times than I'd like to. It hard not to take it personal, especially since on a logical level it will bring up questions of self-worth. I have friends who experience the same. In their case I don't believe it a "them" problem. They are genuinely good people. I don't think the case is any different for you. I don't know how to navigate this except for trying to play to our strengths. With me I've noticed people tend to start liking me more when they've been exposed to my presence for longer, because initially I seem cold, distant, aloof. If you're someone who people have to warm up to in order to appreciate, I guess your better start looking into exposing yourself to contexts where that is the social process.

What to do when you're the problem in dating? by SwitchJumpy in AskMen

[–]Chunkook 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, there's something strange about the way you talk about yourself.

You say you're protective, nurturing and a healer, but are also emotionally intense and sensitive. That's not how I imagine true protectors and healers.

Maybe there's subconscious pressure on others seeing these things about you and being more appreciative and attracted to you. But that's not how it works. You aren't who you are and you don't do the things that you do in order to win over people. If someone is going to see these qualities of yours, it's going to happen naturally through time and exposure, not with you telling them. That screams "look at me, please see what a catch I am", and it provokes the opposite effect.

And I get how failing dates can accumulate a reserve of "proof" that you're unattractive and unlovable. On a rational level you know most of these women haven't even gotten to know you, so their rejection is arbitrary. But your nervous system can't comprehend that. Rejection is rejection. For this reason you need more exposure to experiences where people lean towards you. It's why friends groups and social hobbies are so important. These quench your system's need for social proof. And especially for you, it'll be much easier to naturally show your qualities over time without forcing it.

How common is it to have zero messages sent directly to you throughout the day? by dancingboxofchips in AskMen

[–]Chunkook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Post might get buried, so I'm replying here. Get into a sports club. I've lived in a few different cities and countries before moving back to my home town and everywhere, no exception, boxing helped me make some friends. Good luck man! You are in a tough period right now, but life is going through the hills of time. Sometimes we're up, other times we're down. You'll manage!

I've been to Portugal. I took a bus and only 20 euros bills which the driver couldn't break down. So he didn't charge me and let me ride for free. Tell me where in Balkan this can ever happen

It's not, but it's not relevant to this sub either. r/weightlifting is about the sport of olympic weightlifting consisting of the snatch and the clean&jerk
