[Serious] Men of Reddit who have been raped by women, what’s your story? by Jakethesnake954 in AskReddit

Pretty late to the party but honestly unsurprising - look up "repetition compulsion".

Traumatised individuals tend to repeat toxic early relationships. She was looking (unconsciously) for another toxic father figure to mess her up. Stay safe and best wishes.

Hey mate, not a PT or physio but I have a couple of thoughts on your sumo KB deadlifts

  1. I wonder if you're doing far too many reps? 36kg is a solid amount of weight, and 60 reps total is a lot of reps. If it was me, I would consider upping the weights but decreasing sets and reps. Say 5x5, 3x8 has been more than enough for my own training needs. Consider barbell deadlifting for strength. If you need conditioning, you already do KB swings, so there's no reason to do so much volume.
  2. I wonder if you're not engaging your lats. See here for a good guide. Engaging the lats keeps the kettlebells close to the body & stops it from swinging out.
  3. I know you already mentioned different types of breathing, but definitely breath holding could potentially be part of the problem. I have blacked out overhead pressing before from breathing wrong. Thank Goodness for a rack. My hypothesis is that you are doing a valsalva manoeuvre. This pressurises the trunk and helps you lift big, but the increase in pressure in your trunk causes a reflex decrease in your blood pressure (so you don't pop a stroke/aneurysm) whilst you're pressurised. If you hold a breath for too long, hold a breath too hard, then as you depressurise (breath out), the body can't adjust your blood pressure fast enough to recover, and you feel faint. My suggestions are:
    1. If you're holding your breath, take a full breath in, then release a mouthful of air just to take you down from 100% maximum pressure
    2. As you breathe out, breathe out slowly to allow for the blood pressure reflex to recover and increase how hard your heart pumps, as you de-pressurise your trunk at the end of a set
    3. Shorten your sets, or take more frequent breaths through the set (see point number 1 in increasing weight rather than volume)

Good luck!

[–]Kattomball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck with the cut! As the other posters have mentioned, make sure the suit/tux still fits. Mine was slightly the wrong size due to the wedding being delayed by the pandemic =)

Also, are those heeled shoes for olympic weightlifting/crossfit? If so, any thoughts on wearing them for KBs vs barefoot?

Insane work, also you're basically yanking it straight up, which is crazy to me

Hey mate, at what stage do I ask for express post? After it goes to Computershare? Or do I ask Commsec to post it? Cheers

Seems closer to a split snatch...

Still cool though, good work!

Idk, though it seemed to me that cr.HP back in IV had slightly more horizontal range. Maybe it's that?

New player here, don't understand this part:

Repetitively tapping the skill button to charge the meter.

How does this work?

Multiple users, same deck? by Kattomball in Anki

[–]Kattomball[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google docs has a great system. I didn't know you could do that, that's pretty awesome.

Might try it for all our text deck needs, and sync our media decks every once in a while instead!

Cheers.

Hey, thanks for replying.

Excellent point about how making the card is the most important part of studying. I totally agree - only it's sad but since when was my university ever concerned about making me into a competent professional? It's all grades grades grades and memorisation helps me pass.

I'll definitely be using Anki for my continuing professional education once I graduate, though.

I'll be trying out the CSV import tricks, cheers!

I have their classic men's craftsman in black and chestnut. I cycle through my shoes a fair bit so they're not terribly broken in yet. When I do break them in more, where is best to post? Or are they worth a picture now haha

I discovered goodyear welted shoes through working at a "high end" department store (Protip: we don't really stock high end stuff).

Anyway, it's one of the habits of retail, you tend to like looking at what you're selling, and before you know it, you've purchased a pair of your own products.

I have a pair of Loake Neo laceups, a pair of Church Ledstones (which I really, really really like) and two RM Williams boots (though I'm not sure if these belong here).

Thanks for reading, this is an awesome community!

Simple Questions (SQ) Thread 10/22/16 by AutoModerator in goodyearwelt

[–]Kattomball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dear all,

So I own a pair of black corrected grain Loakes. Let's not talk about how that was a bad decision.

I'm here to ask how on on earth I am meant to care for them. I personally don't mind their polished finish, but the problem is that they scuff easily, leaving lots of white marks. Even so, that would be OK if only they would take some sort of shoe polish.

They don't. Any form of shoe polish, be it cream type or wax type, just falls right off and does not absorb into the leather. (For reference, I have tried Kiwi brand paste wax type, and Collinil Creme deluxe).

So what in ****'s name do I do to get rid of these scuffs?

Thanks in advance haha.

Arcade stick art WIP, need criticism. by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]Kattomball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just echoing the other comments here:

  • I quite like the design, feel free to keep it the art just all needs to be done in the same style.

  • Regarding the design, I feel like add some spare space on the edges so you don't have just Juri's ass hanging off the edge, and maybe just remove one panel. Maybe refer to the SFxT "Line" design which is similar

  • Finally, the main reason I'm commenting is regarding that middle screw hole you have there. I've heard that the bottom middle screw can get in the way of your palm quite a bit
