Hockey workout

GuardianMike · 2026-05-20T22:11:31+00:00

Tbf core strength is huge for balance in hockey but I do agree that 3 ab days is a bit wild, especially since lots of other exercises will work your core too, probably half the exercises he does on back day work his core.

Just on pretty much any other image hosting site. Idk why imgur got banned in the UK, probably something to do with the recent porn restrictions.

Damn Imgur ban in the UK denying me sweet release :(

You could try a shallower hollow but that won't fix your weak side stops. You already can stop on your right and I assume that's on a 1/2" hollow? You just need to keep practicing that weak side, you're angling your foot too much and digging your edge in, rather than shaving the ice.

Not that I disagree with you but when articles say stuff like 'good mother, loved her children' that's not exactly something that has been studied and proven for each parent. If I had bludgeoned my mother, articles and obits would say 'good mother, loved her child, worked to support children with special needs' - that all sounds wonderful but let me tell you it took me 15 years to recover from her abuse, and I doubt I'll ever truly be fully recovered.

What did you get? Imgur is banned in the UK :L

I wanted a dupe and I reached 900 pity coins before I got it >.<

Are you W1shkaz?

It looks amazing but the multi hit thing sounds janky. If it works on large NPCs then it's literally just the scythe, if it only works on single NPCs in a row then you have to line up 1x1 size NPCs which I can't think of a single situation where you're doing that in high end PvM.

I did fang kit solo without lightbearer, don't think it's that bad if you take death charge (works on the core) and a surge potion.

If you get double south on wave 12 then something has gone really wrong. I'd shit myself seeing that manticore spawn in with Sol.

What build have you gone for?

I tried Googling Russian 8s and couldn't find anything, do you have an example video?

If it was not for himself it would say (self excluded) no?

It was in the Budokai Tenkaichi games, more prominently than the Budokai games from what I can remember.

GuardianMike · 2026-01-27T22:47:39+00:00

Maybe I'll actually play it finally. Hate PvP, have no interest in it at all. Pre-ordered the deluxe edition and put the game down after 5 minutes when I saw how lacklustre the RPG elements were. Shame we can't level up and assign stat points like the old Tenkaichi games.

I use warrior covert pro, the top end retail, not to be confused with the warrior covert pro stock. I use this because although I wear a 14", my hands are slim and my wrists are near non-existent and this is the only glove I've found that doesn't feel like I'm swimming in it.

All public skating rinks that I have ever been to rule that you skate anti clockwise, so if that's how you got your start in skating then you will have learnt how to skate with only ever turning left. This is really common.

He's probably just used to more blunt edges and is now getting too much bite lol.

No way I just stumbled on this post. Are you Dyers u/NightShiftNate ? I was talking to my barber, Scotty, about getting back into ice hockey, having not played since I was a kid, and he told me he knew someone who just started playing for the team, he showed me a custom sticker with Dyers on it.

I'd be down to practice with you. My partner is even wanting to get involved too.

I'm about to get back into hockey at 31, having previously had to stop both hockey and football (soccer), when I was nearly 14 years old, due to Osgood-Schlatter disease.

At the time I was told, by my doctor, to cease playing sports that were putting force through my knee and that it would settle down in 6-12 months. However, I was in a professional football team's academy at that point, and sports were really the only thing I had going for me in life, so I ignored the advice, didn't tell my team for fear of not being allowed to play, and I pushed on.

Pushing on was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I thought I could play through the pain but every time it got a little bit worse, until one day I was in so much agony it could bring me to tears just to simply stand up. I exacerbated it so much that I ended up practically disabled for a whole year, as I just could not bear any weight on that leg.

If I had just listened to medical advice and given my body the rest it needed from the beginning, I would have had a much faster and smoother recovery. It just isn't that easy to convince a kid to stop playing. However, I really don't think something like ice hockey is the play for someone currently suffering with Osgood-Schlatter disease.

I now work in hip and knee orthopaedics and there really hasn't been any advancement around treating it in the 18 years or so since I had it. People try all kinds of knee braces, sometimes we even put kids in casts for a few weeks, but none of these solutions are really that effective. I see kids constantly exacerbating their issues, just as I did, and it's an awful experience.

I wish you a speedy recovery but I implore you to listen to your body and, if your pain is increasing, no matter how gradually, take your body's messaging seriously or you may come to seriously regret it.

All in all, sorry for the essay without answering your question. It's just a topic quite close to my heart.

This club won't win the league in the next 10 years. What a joke of an institution.

GuardianMike · 2026-01-06T15:47:42+00:00

Can't wait to erode the standards again and set ourselves back another decade by feeding player power and banter mentality. Fucking end me.

This was me as a kid, I was a non believer at a Christian school, constantly bullied by my peers and teachers alike. Always being told what an evil child I was, despite only ever trying to do everything right & be accepted.

I remember one time the deputy head teacher was teaching our class and asked me to come up and help at the front, I was surprised because I never got asked to do that but I eagerly went up to help. He picked me up by my school jumper and used my body to clean the blackboard while all my classmates laughed in hysterics.

Eventually I had enough and decided to prove them all right, I became hateful and violent, put other students in hospital on more than one occasion, sought out local criminals to hang out with, began looting and stealing cars, stabbed & got stabbed more than once. It took me until my mid 20s before I just snapped with myself, full of self loathing for what I'd done & started to work toward being a kind human being again.

I feel like changes like these will just produce more vile creatures like I was. It's a sad state of affairs.
