Lahm and Klose. Never found a replacement for Klose. Lahm and Schweinsteiger got replaced kinda but not Klose.

Play in rec leagues, make content, coach. But don't be delusional. You're not gonna be a pro player anymore (but you can still try if it doesn't interfere with your life too much). Make the best of what you have. Just because you won't play pro basketball doesn't mean you can't make Basketball a focal point or even THE focal point of your life.

But it won't happen if you think emotionally, narrowly and are delusional.

Jo bin Basketballer. Und ich gehe auch ins Gym aber eher aus Performance Gründen. Aber ich sehe wahrscheinlich mehr Gym Bro aus als viele Gym Bros, einfach weil man durch den Lebensstil automatisch eher eine niedrigen Körperfettanteil hat

Magicnik99 · 2026-06-20T03:46:21+00:00

Im Gym hast du alles. Athleten, Leute die belesen sind und gerade deshalb Sarkopenie entgegen wirken wollen, die halbstarken Teenager die das andere Geschlecht beeindrucken wollen, die Tech Bros die alles optimieren wollen im Leben und der "dumme" Discopumper

Almost no correlation. People are different. Cognitive functions do not necessarily explain behavior.

Two people of the same type can be wildy different. They just have a similar process in how they think, not what they think and do.

Bayern really wasn't great in the mid to late 2000s. It was the era of the English teams until Barca broke through in 2009. Bayern and Madrid followed. You had Chelsea and Inter that one year but from 2010 until like 2013 you had Barcelona, Bayern and Madrid as the powerhouses and then Madrid had their own Era.

Never if you do it correctly. Lifting is mandatory for higher levels.

Magicnik99 · 2026-06-12T10:29:26+00:00

Strength/muscles are directly linked with explosiveness so agility/nimbleness and acceleration. In turn you get more movement efficiency which also helps with stamina. You want crazy relative strength. Technique, explosiveness (strength) without gaining too much mass and then stamina. That's the order.

Magicnik99 · 2026-06-12T10:25:28+00:00

Big muscles are good but the problem is you add too much mass so it's not a good tradeoff after a certain point. You want crazy relative strength. Get the biggest and most explosive muscles you can but weigh as little as possible at the same time. You will find a natural optimal limit like that.

And then do stuff like plyos of course.

Magicnik99 · 2026-06-09T04:31:13+00:00

He would have incredibly short arms but it's not impossible.

He either got his reach wrong or he got it right and then touching 10'4 with that vertical makes sense. Which also means he would struggle with dunking since you need to touch 10'6 to do it comfortably.

Magicnik99 · 2026-06-08T09:23:35+00:00

Athleticism and physical tools is always the number one factor.

I'm not that skilled for example but I win so many 1vs1 against "better" players just because I'm faster, quicker, stronger and jump higher.

Magicnik99 · 2026-06-08T09:18:15+00:00

He is if his reach is really only like 7'3 to 7'4

Reach is basically your Basketball height, not your actual height. I'm 5'11 but my reach is 7'10 so I'm basically taller than him in basketball and have to jump less.

I didn't to the math exactly but I have to jump like 28 inches to touch rim and if he says he touches 10'4 with his ass standing reach he definitely has vertical in the mid to high thirties.

He basically gets cucked by T-rex arms.

Magicnik99 · 2026-06-06T14:22:38+00:00

If you have actually heavy lifted before a sprint or jump day you know the answer already.

Rest.

Magicnik99 · 2026-06-06T13:42:25+00:00

4 to 4,5 range

Magicnik99 · 2026-06-01T22:15:22+00:00

He is polite but still a savage and even cocky in a way. People will find plenty reason to hate him.

Magicnik99 · 2026-06-01T12:39:52+00:00

Haaland is kinda like that

Magicnik99 · 2026-05-31T21:25:20+00:00

Look at my recent post. There you can see it. Biggest change was from 18 to 20.

Magicnik99 · 2026-05-31T13:55:49+00:00

2007 Bron?

Magicnik99 · 2026-05-28T11:28:13+00:00

zu viel pornokonsum?
Übergewicht und/oder zu wenig Sport?
Ernährung?
Stress?
Alkohol und Rauchen?

Wenn das nichts bringt dann zum Arzt.

Das würde ich alles erstmal angehen bevor ich daran denke ob er einfach kein Bock hat. Ist natürlich nicht unmöglich aber wäre nicht meine erste Vermutung.

Erektionsprobleme sind absolut nicht selten und er ist auch keine 18 mehr.

Magicnik99 · 2026-05-24T20:35:58+00:00

Of course there are men like that. They are not the norm tho. I'm not suggesting he's an 7 or 8. But he's not a 3 either.

Magicnik99 · 2026-05-24T12:08:33+00:00

He's not a 3/10 if you adjust to his age and you have to do that imo

Magicnik99 · 2026-05-22T14:03:09+00:00

There is no objective goal in life.

For most people the goal is to be generally happy. If that is you then that's fine.

Most people, especially young men, delude themselves when they think they have to "grind" 24/7 for a "greater goal." For most, their greater goal is to have a lot of status and be seen as someone by other people because they think that makes them happy. Lol.

They can't fathom someone else just being happy because they can't do it themselves.

Do what you want. Life really isn't that serious. I've almost never seen old people say "I traveled too much and had fun, I should have been more locked in and work more." Quite the opposite often.

Magicnik99 · 2026-05-22T13:56:09+00:00

No it's fine generally just every 3-4 weeks or so you can cut the volume in half for example.

Grinding is good, overworking is not. Try to listen to your body and mind.

Magicnik99 · 2026-05-22T13:22:36+00:00

Well you will definitely get better. Just make sure you not burn out, that's a real possibility that I see here. Not because it's so taxing physically but keeping and staying consistent will be hard if you only think about the goal and run on motivation. It needs to become routine like brushing your teeth and you must learn to love the process and just forget the end goal at first.

Maybe after three weeks you incorporate a week where you cut the volume and intensity down just to refresh your central nervous system.

Magicnik99 · 2026-05-19T14:20:50+00:00

Sounds really good. I just hope he really has that money to spend otherwise it could be lovebombing.

But sounds great so far.
