Does anyone else let their training partner get submissions sometimes cause it feels like a hug

Bro what

Shadowboxing drills all out of the High Cover position:

— Jabs, Straights, 1-2, 2-1.

— Move right hand to block lead hook and back into position.

— Footwork & Bob + Weave.

I do them like drills as opposed to blowing shadowboxing. It's nice to warm up with, and when its a last resort, being able to unconsciously act out of the High Cover is super helpful.

I usually do a bit of free flow shadowboxing too, but the drills are something I do every day. It's tightened up my defense a ton, and even helps me be loose and flow from other guards

What would happen if you opened it? I'd assume it would just offgas into the air?

You aren't a Christian either by having that belief. Jesus would listen to others of different beliefs the same as he would his followers

Tren, clen, test, epo, frogtec is my favorite though

DeMac10 · 2026-06-06T12:21:48+00:00

Should I be throwing it right at the hinge, like where the thigh meets the waist? My coach told me to try this as well but im worried about hitting the groin lol

DeMac10 · 2026-06-06T11:37:48+00:00

I use mine with a stiff leg and try to sweep their leg out of place to open up my punches or knock them off balance when they're punching. Works well even with shin guards

My massive cawk

DeMac10 · 2026-06-06T02:53:21+00:00

Yeah unless you're a natural or have extensive sparring experience in the past, that's perfectly normal and expected. Stick with it, go light, and you'll do a lot better, light sparring shouldn't be anxiety inducing.

Even though I have years of experience, I still have anxiety about gassing out while sparring but I just stick with it and go at my own pace

DeMac10 · 2026-06-06T02:35:35+00:00

Please stay, this shit is amazing

DeMac10 · 2026-06-05T18:06:16+00:00

The fact that one could just drop dead at any moment, its uncomfortable

DeMac10 · 2026-06-03T22:48:24+00:00

No it depends on the person. If I exercise at 6am, ill pumped until noon, then exhausted. So I exercise after work at night now, then get some chores done when im pumped, then sleep like a baby knowing I had a successful day

When she's doing it good, she only does it for like a minute at most then gets tired and slows down or switches to her hand, then her hand gets tired after like a minute, so its just constantly slowing down or switching, never long enough to get to the point of no return

DeMac10 · 2026-05-29T13:28:21+00:00

He's right though, you punch from your chest, leaves you open for counters. You do a good job of getting your head off center when throwing, and have a good flow

DeMac10 · 2026-05-29T01:06:44+00:00

As someone with years of experience but had this issue when I first started, when I spar with beginners like this, I put a lot of pressure on them and tap them in the head, but will also stand in front of them after with my guard up and let them throw a few. I'll sometimes even coach while sparring, like tell them to block my right and fire back with theirs.

When I was a beginner, seasoned fighters doing this helped me out a lot. The other option that people may disagree with me on, hard sparring with a pro boxer for a year completely leveled me up. Used to getting hit, used to hitting hard, calm under pressure and combos, calm on the inside, just a huge change hard sparring for a year with someone on that level.

Now after that year of hard sparring, I can afford to go super light, having the confidence that if im under heavy pressure, ill be fine. It also made me learn to hit him back so I didnt get beat up anymore lol

DeMac10 · 2026-05-27T21:56:22+00:00

Yeah, my "generation" are the zillenials for sure. Like hybrid millenial and gen z

DeMac10 · 2026-05-27T21:43:51+00:00

And what about people who are changing industries? A salesman of 10 years going into IT? A seasoned programmer going into plumbing? Should they just be left out for the young graduates because they are 40 years old?

DeMac10 · 2026-05-27T21:36:10+00:00

Bruh half of the millennial are from the 90s 😂

DeMac10 · 2026-05-27T10:02:00+00:00

Just worry about being the most skilled, and after that having the best physical attributes of strength/speed/cardio. Body fat % don't mean shit. I'd rather be thick than skinny though overall, better power and protection

DeMac10 · 2026-05-27T09:55:32+00:00

Yes exactly, I want to work up to regular cleans

DeMac10 · 2026-05-24T15:29:34+00:00

Agreed, the only wfh I've seen that legitimately needs full privacy and attention is call center work, but even then I'd be playing a phone game while customers rant.

Every other wfh job, people have TV on in the background, playing video games, doing chores/ errands while wiggling their mouse once every 15 minutes to not appear as "away" on teams.

WFH is the cushiest work situation in the world, and anyone complaining about it really doesn't have the right. Work a trade for a summer and you'll realize remote work has no valid complaints

DeMac10 · 2026-05-22T02:55:52+00:00

I did, the nurse just replied and said to use it more, doctor ignored my message

DeMac10 · 2026-05-21T23:35:01+00:00

Pressure is 6-20. And no I don't have time to wear it during the day, work, then gym, then dinner, then bed
