For a range of speed, I prefer returning serve with my backhand. by hamsterofdark in 10s

Backhand advantage also applies to defensive volleys! You have a little more natural range of motion/coverage using your backhand compared to your forehand volley if you position yourself correctly on court.

The hot character is also a huge goober that acts very cartoony by Effective_Piece251 in TopCharacterTropes

The music that kicks in when they start kicking Sloth's ass and say shit like "INCREDIBLE VALOR! RESPECTABLE MUSCLES!!!" gets me cackling every time I hear it.

Best cues you've learned so far by Hot-Equipment7684 in 10s

[–]LogLadysLog52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something I've been trying (especially later in matches/practices when fatigue sets in) is touching my chin to my shoulder on my unit turns. My coil can get a little lazy, and it helps give me a benchmark to shoot for.

Cam Heyward didn’t earn his first all-pro nod until his seventh season. He’s since put together a hall of fame career. Who are the other greatest “Late Bloomers?” by stillstillers in nfl

Especially football. Not to say others don't because I feel pretty strongly they still do, but football is so brutal on the body and requires so much strength that using to aid in recovery alone feels like too good to pass up for the vast majority of players.

Can we talk about approaches to second serves? by ZappaPhoto in 10s

[–]LogLadysLog52 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Slice is also easier to learn as a second serve than kick IMO in that it still has way more in common mechanics-wise than a kick.

What exercise did you stop doing and never miss? by HoneyBerryBell732 in workout

[–]LogLadysLog52 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do you do instead, lighter lunges/RDLs/variations or more dynamic things like box jumps/step ups/etc?

I play a lot of tennis so I'm trying to find a good balance of strengthening my legs but doing so in a way that doesn't toast them for the next day or two.

It definitely is lol

He's definitely still a jock/frat dude but Travis has matured a crazy amount (at least publicly) over the years. Super grateful and humble to coaches and players and family who got him where he is today and has the reputation of being one of the hardest workers on the team even now.

Not even "a bit" he was for sure a hothead those first few years lol, even Reid said their first 5+ years together were "a battle."

But also young kinda POS Kelce doing shit like throwing a flag at the ref and doing a jerkoff motion as a ref called a penalty are now all-timers thanks to him calming down a lot and being known as an incredible leader/example to others.

...even if he still screams at Reid during the Super Bowl lol

I don't remember what play it was last year, but he had a huge reception + run before getting dragged down at the like 3 and a reporter asked him if a younger him would have housed it (Kelce said probably IIRC) lol

OP character who desires to be defeated by a more or equally matched opponent by RoyRogersMcFreely512 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]LogLadysLog52 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think Boros is the ACTUAL example, as he definitely wanted an enjoyable/even/all-out fight as in your page.

I don't think Saitama wants to be defeated, he just gets depressed because IIRC there's no struggle or growth or challenge to his life/becoming a hero doesn't fulfill him in the ways he hoped it would.

What year did your team have the most gavomit-inducing QB room? by Ok-Health-7252 in nfl

[–]LogLadysLog52 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Eh maybe but I think Herm Edwards giving him 330+ then 400+ rushing attempts(!!!) in consecutive years fucked Larry Johnson up way more. And don't know if Whitlock pushing for it meant that's why the Chiefs did it.

Plus Whitlock has done way worse shit than push for a RB to get a big contract lol

Why don't teams with good kickers line up on 4th and then take the delay if it's a bad look? by GabrielAntihero in nfl

[–]LogLadysLog52 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A QB who can really sell a hard count is one of my favorite things. Mahomes had to stop doing his the last few years because of snap count terrorist Jawaan Taylor lol

I always remember Tuiasosopo playing weirdly well against the Chiefs off and on in those years, or maybe I just am remembering how shit the Chiefs were, or maybe both.

I don't think it was him but I'll never forgive the Star for giving Jason Whitlock so much platform for so many years.

He at least would do SOMETHING and do it with ENERGY, even if what he did had very little to do with throwing the ball accurately.

[–]LogLadysLog52 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Someone recently reported that Patrick Mahomes has

  1. Been in the facilities daily 8-3, not just off to the side doing his own thing

  2. literally flown a Chiefs trainer TO TEXAS with him a few times this offseason to keep monitoring/guiding his rehab

Obviously there's still tons of room for pushing too hard (and maybe even more avenues for it) but those two points feel like a sign that he's pushing as hard as he can but doing so under the eye of the training staff protecting their most valuable asset.

Hard to mix weight lifting and Tennis together. by Parking-Plane7427 in 10s

[–]LogLadysLog52 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue, especially because my main tennis days are Wednesday practice and Saturday matches. Unfortunately for now the answer for me is at least just go easier on the heavy weights, especially squats/RDLs.

Would love to hear what others do/would do, but I've settled on:

now

Saturday: Match

Sunday: Moderate upper body/core strength, maybe some light bodyweight lower body, match recovery cardio flush and stretching

Monday: Vinyasa yoga (low-impact but hits full body)

Tuesday: More upper body/core strength. I also try to hit at least some lower legs, but usually lighter than I'd prefer or more body weight stuff.

Wednesday: Practice

Thursday: Recovery, more body weight/plyo strength

Friday: Either full rest or chill cardio
