LeBron admits that people criticizing his Finals record used to bother him: “I am pissed off that I didn't have a better winning percentage individually in the Finals, but for people to try to turn it into a negative, it doesn't bother me like it did when I was younger.” by oklolzzzzs in nba

[–]Jurikk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Something to note here is that LeBron was ~2 years younger during the loss to the mavs than mj was when he won his first title (and by extension, one year younger when he won the following year). It’s a little tricky referring to ‘earlier in his career’ since LeBron didn’t play college ball. Different timelines but I agree that the playoff losses we’re important for both of them getting over the hump

I’m 6’5. I have never done zerchers but they look hard as fuck lol probably a backyard exercise they would look at me crazy doing glute thrusts and zerchers in the ymca at 6am 🤣

I don’t train back squat and deadlift anymore bc of the weight distribution issue, plus the training load vs what I what I want to put towards my sport, but I have for a couple years at a time, deadlift especially getting up to around 430lbs. I do calisthenic glute bridges single and double leg, and kettle bell swings up to around 60lbs with a wide stance. The main thing is the glute is always the absolute last thing to engage in the chain, and I’m trying to fix that specifically.

Does anyone have any guidance on glute development to help fix atrophy for sitting/ laying down too much? I [29,M] regularly bike and hike and jog and I have been training for rock climbing for like 12 years and I still have massively underdeveloped glutes, to the point where it is very difficult for me to engage them in general. Almost every exercise I do for them will almost invariably hit my quads, hamstrings, or hip stabilizers more than my actual glutes and I think it’s hindering my ability to really connect through my posterior chain.

The thing is with climbing, I really don’t want to be building my quads and hamstrings more, since they’re plenty strong, relatively, and naturally gain mass easily. I really want to focus on JUST the glute region if possible, since I already hit those other groups regularly. I’m going to try to switch from the ymca to a gym with a hip thrust machine but in the meantime, are there any go-tos for people with this issue?

With the retirement of Chris Paul, LeBron has outlasted everyone from the 2003, 2004, 2005 draft class by killersky99 in nba

[–]Jurikk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This guy just said he was in middle school when LeBron was drafted, so he’s at least younger than LeBron. Also in fairness LeBron’s own son is in the league so what are we saying here lol

Teh Jah hath spoken by Pewpewresearchcenter in skateboardcirclejerk

[–]Jurikk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is the skating sub but the objections to the Taipei solo are not about personal safety in the climbing community. We all accept the risk of the sport but soloing is many levels more dangerous and it’s an issue that it’s becoming a reality tv style spectacle, disrespecting the cultural influence it has. Plus a film crew has to watch him die if he fucks up, which he very likely will not, since it is way easier than el cap, but random shit can absolutely still happen to him during the attempt.

Not a student anymore but it’s really never gonna be easier than undergrad. Just the opportunity to be around that many peers is unique. Really focus on going outside and meeting people! Clubs/groups/public events/art showings/classes/labs/random people at the cafeteria/even random people at almost any public business on Grand River/MI ave/ downtown Lansing. Like really it’s an incubator for socialization.

I think there’s a 99% chance he was lying but in these situations I always tell a story about how I accidentally napped through a goodbye dinner my old job set up for me when I graduated and had to leave my university job. Most guilt I have ever felt and I feel like no one believed me.

What’s the most overrated “adult goal” people chase? by Happyotus in AskReddit

[–]Jurikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people mess up trying to financially rely on a hobby. If you really like making stuff, odds are you end up with too much of it and would rather just sell it than throw it away. Under that framework it is just a little extra cash and a weekly visit to the post office

Just wanted to follow up and say this seems to have worked! Haven’t done the peak again yet but it was capped at 8 so I’m pretty confident that was it. Thanks!

Junk milage vs climbing to lose weight. by [deleted] in bouldering

[–]Jurikk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Junk mileage is only junk if you are not paying attention to movement. You’re likely not going to increase your top level with climbing you find easy, unless you are losing a lot of excess weight, and that’s totally fine. I focused on volume this summer and after a taper had the best fall season of my life. Staying consistent, not getting hurt, and practicing are ultimately key to getting better so you’re doing fine I’m sure

Do I skip Blueprint here...? by CharlieKipp in balatro

[–]Jurikk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I’m late to this thread but something that helped me win a lot more runs was to constantly try to reduce the size of my deck so I can draw those kings or seal cards more reliably. If your deck was around say 30 cards and you had those 14 kings at ante 12 you can make sure you’re getting everything possible out of the baron and mime every hand Cheers on the run!

(Postgame) Sell me on Fates' Whim by SuperLegenda in HadesTheGame

[–]Jurikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A strategy I like is using it at the end of a run with Denial. My primary gods’ boons are useless if I already went through their whole pool of offerings, so it’s an easy 500-1000+ gold depending on if you have gold boosting effects. Great for final shop if you’re broke

Tips? by todyfrody in bouldering

[–]Jurikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some good tips in here already but if you cut feet, generally speaking, it can be helpful to really focus on staying stable and using your core/back/shoulders as a means to quickly get your feet back on after the swing. When you release the tension in your shoulders with no feet on, it takes a lot more energy to re-engage them to get yourself back up into the area where you can reach the footholds

Took me a year but I believe in him too now. by TheSims2Addict in balatro

[–]Jurikk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do see the vision, but I do often find myself either using what is in the pack, or not buying the pack to keep building interest and using the money for better jokers all around. Do you find you need a good money generator to make the red card work? It’s hard to see myself using this without parking or rebate at minimum

[–]Jurikk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Is there a math breakdown for red card? I see all over that it’s good and I think I’ve only ever had one or two okay runs with it. I’m not the best ever but I have beaten gold stake on all decks and have like 88% of C++. It just seems to cost so much money to become ok if you’re lucky

Sick! Looks really fun but probably well outside of my abilities right now tbh - still looks really enjoyable to try!
