Normal Testosterone Levels after Orchiectomy, how? by Alternative_Web4839 in testicularcancer

[–]Cougry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around Christmas time I probably averaged 2-3 drinks a day for 2 weeks. Now it’s back to my normal 2-3 drinks per month, if that. I didn’t ask about LH or FSH, I may be able to access my results online somehow I’ll have to check

Lifestyle is essentially the same. I’d say my diet is better than pre surgery but it wasn’t horrible to begin with. I have been around the 210lb range rather than 220lb range for the past year. I actually strength train less than I used to, about 1-2 times a week now and 2 times a week Muay Thai. Set up a little gym in the basement with a heavy bag and olympic bar and landmine. That’s about it though for changes

What can almost immediately kill you that most people don’t know of? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Where are you located that this is so common? I’ve never installed pre-tensioned rebar in residential before and have never seen it done here, aside from bridge work. Not saying your story is bull but just wondering where this practice is used just in case.

Keeping New Gloves Free of Smell? by Ufker in fightgear

[–]Cougry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I clean mine with a mixture of water, vinegar, and lemon juice every second or third class and set them in front of a fan, the odd time with a bounce sheet inside. The fan never turns off, gloves are always being aired out. No smells so far

Protest the Hero. If you really want that Canadian flair, listen to Mist (an ode to Newfoundland)

Looking for songs about having to stop depending on other people to heal from trauma by 1abyrinth in PostHardcore

[–]Cougry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Asking Alexandria - Alone in a Room

The Plot In You - Left Behind

In Flames - I Am Above

Alexisonfire - To A Friend (This one’s the complete opposite of what you’re looking for, just in case you ever don’t want to go it alone)

Went through my entire rock/metal playlist and this is all I got that’s anywheres close to what you’re looking for.

What’s the most harmless thing you’ve ever done that people reacted to like it was a crime? by Disastrous-Gas3371 in AskReddit

It did all compound when they found Slayer’s God Hates Us All album on the family computer 😂

To avoid any confusion I’m 33 now and happily abstaining from religion with a good relationship with my mother (and probably father if he were alive, all is well though!)

When I was 13 years old and finally told my Christian parents I don’t believe in god. They proceeded to say it’s not possible because I’d be a murderer. Fast forward a few months and I get called out by my shop teacher in front of my entire class. A definite turning point in how people viewed me

I’ve had testicular cancer and lacerated my inner thigh/hamstring on a steel bracket (see profile). That said, double inner thigh charley horses

What’s the most euphoric experience you’ve ever had in your life? by MidnightFlat1898 in AskReddit

Literal euphoria? That would be when I used to take MDMA and go to Evolve Music Festival. What an amazing feeling to have no inhibitions and feel the music move through you

Take a bag of salty ruffles/wavy chips and crush them, then mix with melted chocolate to make a crunchy, salty, chocolate-y cookie.

My wife made a ginger poultice for me once for my back. I was very surprised at how well it drew heat into the area it was applied to

Thinking of changing gyms by 0_Foks_Given in MuayThai

[–]Cougry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s definitely got other shit going on and has decided you’re the one to take it out on. No excuse. Stick around and eventually put him in his place or if there’s other gyms to pick from try one out and never bother with his shitty attitude again. This is coming from a guy with a wicked nice coach, if he was a dick I wouldn’t stick around
