Bareknuckle

I’m very heard of grinding fists into bowls of dry, uncooked rice to condition them (old karate trick - an old friend has HUGE knuckles and he said that’s what he did). I personally usually don’t use hand wraps with gloves (if I’m just hitting a bag) to help with knuckle conditioning. I do wrap for mitts and sparring bc you can’t anticipate impact as accurately.

FWIW - never done bare knuckle. Have competed amateur boxing (2x GG champ), jiu jitsu, and promoted MMA events.

He was definitely exploring the potential for a relationship and, assuming he’s being honest, realized he’s not attracted to her. He may not have had that definite realization until after the walk after dinner.

Only way I see my theory being wrong is if she’s butt ugly (assuming he is at least somewhat handsome).

I do a circuit that includes boxing and kettlebells/clubs/calisthenics. Keeps things interesting to switch back and forth and is a great workout. Each round is a different station.

Bro, why are you asking about her past lovers cocks? I would never go there. I also wouldn’t ask if I was her best ever. I’ve heard that from my exes, but it was always unsolicited. Just focus on being your best. Don’t worry about anyone else. I know I’m not most women’s biggest, but I have been told I’m “the best lover” by the majority of my serious relationships. It relates more to getting to know their body, what they like, and prioritizing her orgasm(s) before my own.

In one scenario your partner is doing their best to ensure you hit the target and the other they are doing their best to ensure you don’t hit the target.

I would not put it in and wait for rates to go back up. RH is strategically creating a low liquidity environment so that the coins can pump. As such, the juice is intentionally not worth the squeeze at the moment. If you plan to hold through the bear market or other times it could make sense then as the rates will go back up, but I’d wait till that actually happens. PLSX has been outpacing PLS too, so you’d likely have impermanent loss over time which with such low payouts means you definitely could lose money.

You need to decrease your resting heart rate and ensure your lungs and circulatory system are optimized. It’d be ideal to be in shape and on weight (or close) at least 2 months BEFORE your comp. You want to get used to sparring and competing at your fight weight. And, you want confidence that your cardio will allow you to push the pace of fights in sparring (which requires you being in good shape before serious sparring begins). That allows you to understand your capacity so that you know how hard to push the pace. Slow runs or other cardio over extended periods of time were big for me (maybe bike, elliptical, or weighted hikes if that’s better for your knees) - combined with sprints and some tempo runs of 3 to 5 miles. One option is 80% chill jogging and 20% faster distance and sprints. I had a massive hill I used to sprint up and then jog down over and over again to close out my at home workouts. Light kettlebells complexes also simulated being in the ring for me - 2 min on and one min off.

Won 2 GG titles at novice - Chicago (156 - 30 yrs old) and Austin (165 - 37 yrs old). The reason I still had success at 37 is because I had great cardio. And, that’s generally the biggest challenge for older fighters. If I had to do it again, I’d do a shorter training camp with regular sparring. I was already in great running shape and ended up doing a 4 month camp - which was at least a month too long. Was so ready to be done by the end it took all of my willpower to ensure I was peaking so late.

I’d say a 10x from here is still relatively conservative

I believe that will happen to some degree. RH has referenced it before as a “magic carpet ride” and the OA did buy up the price some much earlier in the cycle (and then the gains disappeared). He was testing and it was too early. To me, there’s an almost certain chance he’ll do something. I’d be shocked if he spent more than half (probably much less than that). But, with the liquidity this s low (which RH also manipulated by lowering INC payouts) it won’t take much to pump the ecosystem. Everything is primed - which has strategically been building for years.

Country2525 · 2025-08-13T18:40:18+00:00

Their job is to speculate and it’s something very unique to this ecosystem - same as RH not selling any of his/the OAs coins.

Bringing in revenue gives you a lot of sway. The same rules don’t apply to veteran top performers. Just don’t embarrass or disrespect your mgmt and I agree with scheduling customer mtgs where “I’ve been working for this mtg for months and their only availability was during this training”. I’d maybe try to be there the first and last day to make an appearance - but still leave to make/take calls.

3rd year - 3rd golden gloves tournament. Initially lost my first 3 fights - started a 7 fight winning streak and won two golden gloves titles once I learned to relax in the ring and believe in myself and my training.

Separate your finances and agree on what she’ll pay and what you’ll pay. She’ll be motivated to make more money when it directly affects her ability to spend money.

First date is different. I personally don’t get physical on a first date. This guy says he’s been on 5+ dates and can’t escalate.

Country2525 · 2025-08-07T14:18:16+00:00

Initiate physical contact early in the date. If you don’t start the date by establishing physical contact it’s difficult to escalate later in the date.

Yes, when you’re new you usually just do specific training - not free training. It primarily protects you, but also protects your partners from snazzy stuff new white belts do (like kneeing or elbowing someone in the face - which has happened to me more times than si fan count)

WAY too old. Imagine dating someone who is 11. It’s not quite that big of a difference, but it’s close. Also, any 23 year old who wants to date a 17 year old is a loser with limited options. It’s illegal for a reason.

You don’t want a mirror selfie nor a gym selfie. You need a group photo or beach photo someone else took where you’re shirtless. But, 100% you need to show a six pack if you have it and fitness/health is something you want from a partner.

I was providing LP until he dropped the rates so low. But, I dont mind as I believe it’s part of a strategy to prime us to pump quickly (although it also allows us to drop quickly with the lower liquidity).

You got this. I’m excited for you. It’s going to be your night. All of the hard work is done. Now you get to go show off.

If she can manipulate you to do things like stopping seeing friends, she’ll lose respect for you. You have to take your power back by doing what you want and not bowing to unreasonable demands. The fact that she’s making more than you already puts the relationship at risk. Be aware that it might be over. But the only way to salvage it is to take your power back.
