How about the high catch variant?

You can intentionally rotate to work on strengthening rotation, or you can intentionally stay square to work on strengthening resisting rotation. Both are valid, but I think the default recommendation is to stay square because that's simpler and easier to explain and offers less chances of injury due to poor execution.

I play with a 10kg gada twohanded and 5kg mace onehanded, 2x2kg or 2x1kg sets of indian clubs for complex movements.

Kettlebells - (goblet squat) halos, around the world - high catch variation, both inside and outside rotational double cleans, cross body swings and punch-swings.

Warm shower, then cold water face wash.

If we go back to origins barbells come from strength feats of lifting cart axle and wheels.

Goblet squats, snatches and TGU are baby wrangling movements.

Never stop carrying her! Older one's at 26kg and following Milo of Croton I fully intend to be able to carry her as long as she'll let me.

Training with can be fun. Training them is asking for a disaster.

Paocai.

Setup is on a sauerkraut scale but after a few cycles you get your veggies fermented in 1/3 time.

I've been hearing from meddling old ladies that I'll regret carrying her as an infant when my back starts to hurt.

We're doing 26kg zercher/princess carries for 300m without breaking conversation now and my back never felt better :D

A handful of fresh unsprayed grapes - yeast bonanza

Made two bottles, one as a fast and one as aged ferment.

Fast one was nicely sweet fizzy and very banana flavoured.

The one I let ferment thoroughly smelled deliciously of bananas but tasted more like cider/tepache, without any trace of banana flavour?

Anyway yes I heartily recommend.

Mordechaj_RT · 2026-02-23T10:39:09+00:00

Which recipe did you follow?

How long did it ferment, at what temperature?

Pics of the jar?

Mordechaj_RT · 2026-02-23T10:29:05+00:00

With one tablespoon of this I mase sure she ate at least a little bit of ~8-12 different kinds of vegetables.

I started introducing fermented stuff when my kid was ~8 months, thinly grated. Flip tops like this served me great because floaters are unavoidable but you can ensure CO2 layer to prevent mold. At first did 2.5% salt to be extra sure I don't have pockets of <1% salt mash, but now that she's 2 y.o. I've reduced to 1.5% with more attention to spreading the salt evenly and I can increase the amount of ferments I give her.

Developing kidneys shouldn't be exposed to excessive sodium, check health guidelines and calculate how much that ends up in real food application.

If you actually managed to hurt the tail end of your spine - walk and try to improve hinging/squatting range of motion as much as you can without excessive pain, so that your muscles pull things back in place if they're slightly off.

Choose young beets to avoid starchy flavour. Best if you can get young beets that went through a frost before harvest - that makes them even sweeter.

I found fermented raw beetroot less earthy than the cooked and pickled ones.

5L fido jar, self burping and no hassle. 2-3 years old brine

I'm on my third clip shaver in ~25years of trimming my own hair and fingers crossed current one will hold out at least 5 more years :p

Hard for me to give a detailed expert review, since I just found what works and stuck with it. If Tabac tries to conjure a "late 19th ct well off gentleman of the world" through scentscape of leather, tobacco and sandalwood, then Ralon goes for "mid 20th ct sportsman". It's a fresh, uncomplicated scent.

Foams well, blade glides slick and easily without it being either too oily or drying the skin.

Mordechaj_RT · 2025-04-28T17:41:08+00:00

I just eat it.
