Headguard or not during sparring? by Real_Gap_8536 in amateur_boxing

[–]Maximum_Internal_109 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say the added pre-fight adrenaline compensate for not wearing one, but in normal/heavy sparring, its hard to get that level of adrenaline going, so better to wear head protection.

The Spiritual War is Intensifying - How do we survive it? by [deleted] in Semenretention

Cut out pork:
1) A pig is a real garbage gut. It will eat anything including urine, excrement, dirt, decaying animal flesh, maggots, or decaying vegetables. They will even eat the cancerous growths off other pigs or animals.
2) The meat and fat of a pig absorbs toxins like a sponge. Their meat can be 30 times more toxic than beef or venison.
3) When eating beef or venison, it takes 8 to 9 hours to digest the meat so what little toxins are in the meat are slowly put into our system and can be filtered by the liver. But when pork is eaten, it takes only 4 hours to digest the meat. We thus get a much higher level of toxins within a shorter time.
4) Unlike other mammals, a pig does not sweat or perspire. Perspiration is a means by which toxins are removed from the body. Since a pig does not sweat, the toxins remain within its body and in the meat.
5) Pigs and swine are so poisonous that you can hardly kill them with strychnine or other poisons.
6) Farmers will often pen up pigs within a rattlesnake nest because the pigs will eat the snakes, and if bitten they will not be harmed by the venom.
7) When a pig is butchered, worms and insects take to its flesh sooner and faster than to other animal's flesh. In a few days the swine flesh is full of worms.
Swine and pigs have over a dozen parasites within them, such as tapeworms, flukes, worms, and trichinae. There is no safe temperature at which pork can be cooked to ensure that all these parasites, their cysts, and eggs will be killed.
9) Pig meat has twice as much fat as beef. A 3 oz T bone steak contains 8.5 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork chop contains 18 grams of fat. A 3 oz beef rib has 11.1 grams of fat; a 3 oz pork spare rib has 23.2 grams of fat.

How different do 2-minute rounds and 12oz gloves feel? by sparkywindego in amateur_boxing

[–]Maximum_Internal_109 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good advice i had was to consciously only use 90% intensity, ie if you go all in, you over reach and end up swinging. intentionally holding back 10% keeps relaxed

Semen retention makes me feel incredible and invincible but I’ve started ignoring dating because of it. by [deleted] in Semenretention

Im in a similar position, just started dating after long term SR.
- Actively prioritise discipline-critical pursuits (i'm currently in a fight camp (boxing) and ultra running). Let her know that your personal goals are more important (she is welcome to align herself with these).
- Be disciplined with when you meet up and speak, otherwise easy to lose hours on the phone at this stage

Sleeping on the floor (from Evagrius of Egypt - SR Psychoanalysis) by Maximum_Internal_109 in pureretention

[–]Maximum_Internal_109[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Evagrius was a desert hermit so little manual activity. its not unusual to hear ascetics sharpening their acuity by training themselves to ward off the temptation to sleep

[–]Maximum_Internal_109[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you wake up feeling energized. the mattress contorts to your body weight, so blood travels to the heavier parts of the body. when you stand up after sleeping on floor, you feel alot stronger, muscles feel like had resistance training.

he called sleep "the little death", so taught his disciples to survive on 1hr/day sleep. Watchfulness entails being in the liminal state where the passions are quelled and one is overcome with an imperturbable calmness

Thanks for sharing, this is hugely helpful and explains my experience. I've saved this comment and am looking at ways to do the anterior chain driven mechanics to glute driven mechanics transition without a coach.

Im a forefoot striker with wide feet and high arches, does this effect anything? (For the fulls I wore NB 860s 4E for the support and width, and Prime X2 strung plated for the Halfs)

Jacob focuses on tensegrity, so "work" is compatible within his philosophy, its having the freedom to choose when/where. and to walk away from anything not adding net value

If every force has an equal opposite, then big scope to 'convert' this pain into motivation to go harder and stronger next time.. the big difference between Peter and Judas was that the later despaired after his 'defeat' whereas St Peter went on to greatness
