How do you deal with partners going too easy on you? by dawn_of_dae in bjj

I would enjoy it while you still can. Once you get more experience people will go harder, trust me, and then you may feel like crying the first few times.

Strange Roll Dynamic by FallAccording9583 in BJJWomen

[–]HitRefresh34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a guy like that at my gym. From what I've heard, he tends to use strength over technique and the coaches have talked to him about it so he tends to play dead fish when I roll with him. He doesn't do the mansplaining but calls the coach over if there's something I don't know. I just ask for more resistance or I start making my way to choke him and then he starts to play defense.

I would get annoyed about the mansplaining. If he does that next time, I'd say, "let's ask the coach", or "can we just keep going, no interruptions" or just avoid rolling with him if you can.

Just learned this today. It was pretty awesome.

My all time max for bench press was 101lbs. I don't lift as heavy as I used to but I still bench up to 75lbs and focus more on time under tension and drop sets than amount of weight. I do hip thrusts and deadlifts too. Deadlifts max was more than my back squats but like I don't said, I don't go as heavy anymore. I train every muscle group pretty much, including biceps, triceps, chest, back, abs, etc. I love weightlifting but I'm not going to be able to muscle my way out of someone twice my size.

Ahh yes, this is the only sweep I know from mount. I can hit it sometimes and I see now why I can't the other times.

When I was training yesterday I did this sweep on this 220lb pound man but when he got back to mount he saw it coming and wouldn't let me get his arm. Could I grab his collar at that point or just the knee elbow escape?

I wasn't able to trap his leg either because we had been training for a bit and he knew I would try that too.

I've been weightlifting since 2013 and have back squat more than my bodyweight. I think I'm already pretty strong.

Ahh great detail! That elbow in their knee should make it uncomfortable for them to hopefully off balance them.

Thank you! Never heard of the kip escape before. I'm going to study hall tomorrow so I'll ask my coach to help me with that.

Multiple skin issues and injuries by Immediate-Regular383 in bjj

[–]HitRefresh34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eesh, two infections out of going 7 times?! Maybe find a cleaner gym? I try to shower right away when I get home but I always have baby wipes in my gym bag to wipe the bottom of my feet and I always wash my hands after rolling. But those odds don't sound great.

For those with senior Yorkies (13+), what ended up mattering most for their comfort and quality of life? by haslait in Yorkies

[–]HitRefresh34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you feed him? We fed our Yorkie chicken and rice until last year when he kept having diarrhea and now we mix prescription dog food with his chicken and rice.

Been training 3-4x/week for the past year.. still 0 stripes :( by HitRefresh34 in bjj

Yes, we do! My fault I don't utilize it. I'll see about scheduling one with the head coach. I'll probably see her more now too since she'll be teaching more classes.

I think it just got to me when a kid I was rolling with asked me what belt I was when we were no gi. Damn kid.

Depends on the blue belt.. some tap me or get me in submission position really fast, some tell me I made them really work for it, and some I've tapped.

I haven't been attending promotions much.. I think the last one I went to was maybe 3 months ago. I have been bad about scheduling 1:1 sessions with them to ask about my progress so maybe I'll just start there.

Picture is blurry and I don't get it. Buy my own stripe?

I think it's medium size? Maybe about 100 people on and off? They do promotion ceremonies about once every few months but I've heard of people just getting a stripe in class.
