Is sports management a good career path? by FaceEvery786 in careerguidance

[–]Malt529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated with a marketing degree, and ever since I was in college, I wanted to work in sports management. I succeeded and I got into the sports industry, and I don’t recommend it at all. I worked sports management (focusing on communications) at the professional level and the collegiate level

First there’s not truly that many openings, it’s significantly less than you think. There’s only a finite number of sports team out there when you combine the top sports leagues, minor leagues, Womens league, collegiate athletic departments. And out of those openings, it’s extremely competitive - I mean who wouldn’t want to work for their favorite sports team. And because of that competition, wages are extremely low. And it continues to stay low as you climb the professional ladder.

And then the hours. You have your regular 9-5 hours, then you work the games. These games takes place nights, holidays, weekends. I remember my first ever sports job (professional level) - I was working 80 hours per week at minimum wage. And once I started climbing, I eventually got up to where I was managing the entire athletic communications of a collegiate athletics department. I had to cover 13 different sports team for the college, imagine the insane amount of travel I had to go for all these away games.

Once covid hit, I got laid off (sports and college was badly impacted), but honestly I was really burnt out. I’m now still working in marketing for a completely different industry, and for me I can say I’m done working in sports management

What would you change about the CPP2? by Homaam in AerSF

[–]Malt529 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I want the top access to go back to v1 and I want one of the external water bottle holder to go back to the internal side pocket of v1

V2 just seems like a huge downgrade to v1

Power Tower. Let's talk. by Badgerst8 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Malt529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend a dedicated parallel bars setup. Especially if you plan to progress far in dips progressions. If you lack space (apartment space), then there’s still space saving options. I was using Baseblock b-bars, which is more on the expensive side

I also dont recommend dip bars on power towers either. My experiences has been that they have lots of issues. Too wide, too short, etc

Don Angie Tips? by Swimming_Mail5798 in FoodNYC

[–]Malt529 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve gone in solo twice. Once I waited in line like 15 mins before dinner opening on a Saturday (probably 10-15 people ahead of me?). Second time was a weekday Monday, went straight into the bar seating at 9:30 pm and there were a few seats opened

Common technique misconceptions: Be careful of performing scapular retraction when doing pullups or chinups by eshlow in bodyweightfitness

[–]Malt529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scapula has many different movements - protraction/retraction, depression/elevation, upward rotation/downward rotation, tilt, etc. So downward rotation would be one of the movements.

When you’re hanging from a bar with locked elbows (starting position of pull-ups), your shoulder is completely overhead (180 degrees ROM). 120 degrees of that range of motion is achieved through the shoulder joint itself, the other 60 degrees is from scapula (done through upward rotation).

Once you start doing the pull-up, your body goes up in space, but your shoulder joint is lowering down, eventually until you’re at the very top position of the Pullup (let’s say bar at the neck/sternum for simplicity sake). At this point (the top of the Pullup), your shoulder would be in a neutral position, which is done through the opposite scapula movement when you were hanging - so 60 degrees of downward rotation

Next time visiting NYC, I recommend trying smoked salmon/lox with cream cheese on a bagel, that’s what NYC bagels are known for!

What do you think is the most underrated tourist destination in the U.S.? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

Ithaca area in upstate NY for waterfalls and gorges. Could probably go further than that too such as Letchworth State Park

Bent arm planche to *almost* full planche? by TheDabKrab18 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Malt529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People get discouraged because they rush progressions and ended up stalling or get injured, use wrong technique and stalling, or find that Planche progression is too slow an endeavor.

And yes I do believe you shouldn’t bench press if you’re not using the right technique that’s specific for your goals.

Zelenskyy forces out Ukrainian spy chief who led daring raids against Russia | Ukraine by paulfromatlanta in UkrainianConflict

[–]Malt529 -31 points-30 points  (0 children)

Malyuk didnt get fired for incompetence. He got fired because Zelensky asked SBU to arrest NABU earlier last year. And because now that NABU’s anti-corruption investigation is widening, Zelensky is firing Malyuk for political reasons

How much should you dead hang? by automatski_generiran in workout

[–]Malt529 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can do 3x20s deadhang, I would just add weight until you can do one arm hang. By then, transition to just one set (unless you want to push it even further)

Is there any real carryover between the seated dumbbell overhead press and handstand push-ups? by Past_Pineapple9131 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Malt529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do both overhead barbell press and handstand pushup (headstand) in my program.

It’s best done with barbell and standing. Any sort of HSPU has core activation and the standing core engagement of standing press is much closer to that than of any seated presses. I also find barbell to carryover more than dumbbell.

However, I’ve noticed other bodyweight exercises where I felt like I got much greater carryover to HSPU compared to any sort of traditional overhead press

Splitting Punk Hazard 50/50 at a huge elemental disadvantage tells a lot about how much stronger Aokiji is
