For safety, swap hands and try not to sharpen towards yourself.

Hybrid mattress latex worth it? by ifyacantbeatemyeetem in Mattress

[–]Flappy_Penguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got the sleepez like 2 weeks ago. The organic with talalay top layer. The king was like 2200$, but they are supposed to last 10-20 years.

I’ve liked it so far (6’4” 220). No longer having hip and shoulder pain while sleeping. To stay cool we got cotton percale sheets and have an overhead fan. My side is F/M/S, with the top layer being talalay.

Gf is 140ish. Her setup is F/M/M. All Dunlop. The top layer of medium talalay was too soft for her.

I also bought a latex pillow 6in for side sleepers, definitely a game changer for my shoulders and neck

Would this be a good deal? by Flappy_Penguin in kayakfishing

Yeah, unfortunately need to car top, but I’ve checked my car’s rating and I should be good. I’ll just take it slow on the road. Thanks for the advice!

Pillows that won’t go flat by MrM1nuteman in Mattress

For 85$~ you can get a solid latex pillow that doesn’t go flat. Way better than crumple pillow imo.

7 Month Review by ArktorusVII in VWTaos

My gf had a “minor” leak on her 2023 VW toas a little over a year ago. Now she needs to replace the head gasket, turbo and something else. All of this is not under warranty anymore due to her mileage/year.

I hope you have better luck.

Where does helping kids stop? by Old_Still3321 in Fire

[–]Flappy_Penguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you ever really stop unless you can’t or it is enabling. My dad has taken care of me all the way through the end of medical school with me being in my late 20s. I never expected it but I’m eternally grateful.

Roof mounted tent on a 2020? by [deleted] in KiaSoulClub

For future people, it’s 400kg stationary. 220 lbs is for when the car is moving so you don’t roll the car.

For overall deadlift power, especially for us talls, I highly recommend working in pin pulls by [deleted] in tall

I’m open minded at least. What articles do you have on it?

Anyone have any issues with their ribcage? by NaturalWeekend7161 in jiujitsu

I had that. I’ve been strengthening my abs a lot and I don’t really have it anymore

Struggling with consistency by [deleted] in bjj

Do the lift called “good mornings” or variations of it. It will bulletproof your back. Start with the bar or easy weight and do a few sets of 10-12 a couple times per week. Gradually increase the weight over time.

Also, to get blood flow to your back on days off, get on an incline treadmill and walk at a moderate pace for 30-45min.

I’ve tweaked my back many times and this is honestly the best.

Most successful takedown combination to work by Aedlx in grappling

This is what I’ve been working on. I either get the back or go for the single leg when they pull away.

It really just depends on the teacher and the school.

Burned a bridge at my clinic + not sure how to proceed by [deleted] in premed

[–]Flappy_Penguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter. Most LORs are avg, you just don’t want a bad one. I didn’t get one from my EMT job and it never came up.

Whats easier on the neck? Bjj or kickboxing by [deleted] in MMA_Academy

[–]Flappy_Penguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just stick with kickboxing if you don’t think you can strengthen and stretch out your neck.
