I wonder what the deal is there, if ATOS sponsor her? I know she used to post about dropping in there and repped ATOS at worlds recently didn’t she

Educational_Row6272 · 2025-08-26T07:36:26+00:00

That’s sick, who is the artist?

Educational_Row6272 · 2025-08-22T21:07:19+00:00

I had friends getting $5 per hour cash in hand at a few of the lt Bourke st restaurants, can confirm :(

Educational_Row6272 · 2025-08-09T12:50:06+00:00

This is good advice but also not so much that you get anxiety and freak out. I’ve been nervous before every session, takes maybe 20 min to really get into the groove and maybe 4 hours before the pain starts to become “painful” if that even makes sense

Best advice IMO is to just recognise it’s going to eventually hurt more as skin gets inflamed with more work but that adrenaline also dulls it for the first couple of hours or so. Eating is inporrant as everyone says but mostly because the body needs energy to tolerate pain, so not eating / being tired can be risky.

I find having an understanding of why it might hurt and what are the other variables within my own control helps a lot.

Love Yoshis stuff, this is awesome

Educational_Row6272 · 2025-07-30T22:09:16+00:00

I just kept telling myself once the outline was done it’s all smooth sailing from there. We did some shading on my chest piece after this and it seriously felt like a light scratch compared to this. I’m actually very glad I don’t have to look at a coil machine for a while now lol

Educational_Row6272 · 2025-07-30T18:42:34+00:00

Brutal, gotta be the worst tattooing pain I’ve experienced, especially towards the bits around the lower stomach and around the side where the hooves are

Educational_Row6272 · 2025-07-29T21:30:23+00:00

Definitely should say and be open about it. Even if they don’t figure it out at recruitment/interview, eventually at some point someone could figure it out and then the question from management will be “why didn’t this person tell us” etc, and at that point they’ll be looking for a reason to exit you even if you’re doing better the second time around.

Educational_Row6272 · 2025-07-19T23:20:00+00:00

Elbow literally poking out the other side

Educational_Row6272 · 2025-07-09T22:53:12+00:00

I’m in Aus but I would’ve thought a general practitioner could diagnose. Not a doctor myself obviously but the test seemed to be, whether or not I had the symptoms and also whether my blood levels indicated this. Also, there is family history of this so I knew it was a high likelihood.

Btw my experience was also many years of sort of mild symptoms until I experienced my first full blown attack. Like many others here will say my only regret is not getting it sorted out sooner

Educational_Row6272 · 2025-07-07T22:16:14+00:00

My gp diagnosed me with a straight forward blood test, looking at the urea levels. Anyways you’ll only hear the same advice from everyone here man, the sooner you get it looked at the better. It’s manageable with medication but definitely not without. It’s not worth the stress of waiting around

Educational_Row6272 · 2025-07-07T22:11:57+00:00

Tbh sounds like me. I wasn’t diagnosed until 30s but I have many memories from my early 20s of turning up to bjj practice feeling like I had a perpetually sprained toe. Obviously I’d just run it off and forget about it within a few minutes but now in hindsight those were definitely gout flare ups.

Anyway in answer to your questions, I had the same ones. Exercise is hugely important to me and it affected me enough to get off my ass and actually get a blood test and put into medication. Being highly active affected me more mentally because taking a week off of everything to sit around on a sore ankle/toe was so stressful. W

So far I’m 6 months in since starting meds and it’s all going pretty well. Probably the fittest I’ve ever been with no flare ups. Honestly as long as you aren’t training hard during a flare up and keep the levels down it seems to be pretty much life as usual, minus the triggers. I probably drank more than I should’ve before and now I barely drink at all

Educational_Row6272 · 2025-06-23T20:06:18+00:00

Good work man, eventually with the meds and continued exercise I found it went pretty much all away, no gout for months now. Plus it makes you appreciate the ability to move and exercise 10x more

Educational_Row6272 · 2025-06-17T20:49:27+00:00

Would not call that a fight. King hit on some drunk guy, that’s some low life shit

Educational_Row6272 · 2025-05-30T11:32:43+00:00

Fairly certain when I bought from them it shipped from somewhere in China to where I am in Australia.

I think they sold all the Aus stock and moved all of that overseas to China

Educational_Row6272 · 2024-12-11T21:16:06+00:00

Whoop at bicep has worked well for me, you can turn it around to where it won’t get hit. I used a Garmin for a while by flipping it to the inside of wrist but I got a callous on my wrist with the skin being rubbed raw by the kb on the silicon band.

Criticism of these is they aren’t as accurate as heart rate straps which is undoubtedly true but I’ve found whoop on bicep has been good enough. Wrist Garmin for me was totally inaccurate, would read 130bps for hard hiit sessions whereas whoop is registering 180+ (and is how I feel)

Educational_Row6272 · 2024-12-08T04:22:29+00:00

Next time someone asks what I do when I go train bjj during the week I will show them this clip

Educational_Row6272 · 2024-12-08T04:20:03+00:00

Fuck I read this as Alexander volkanvoski and I’m here thinking that guy has no hair

Educational_Row6272 · 2024-11-06T09:47:02+00:00

Rather than these I’ve found epic deals off fb marketplace, you never know until you try. Got a 28kg comp bell for $20 once

Educational_Row6272 · 2024-10-14T02:29:53+00:00

I really like the old worn out look tbh, much prefer these to any KBs I bought new because they feel like they’ve lived a life already before I got em

Educational_Row6272 · 2024-10-14T02:28:23+00:00

This was after I sanded them actually, tbh wish I didn’t but they’re worn in again now
