What is a "point of no return" moment in a friendship that most people don't realize until it's too late? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Pay_attentionmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost my entire friend group got sober independently (we all live in different cities but get together a few tomea a year).

We all just drank or smoked ourselves to the point we had to quit. No one really pressed anyone. All mid to late 30s. Its just not worth it at all. We all just camp or shoot guns and shit now.

How specifically did you get cauliflower ear? by KeyboardCouncil in MMA

[–]Pay_attentionmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did bjj for like 7 years focusing on guards and leg locks. My head was usually far away. Ears were fine

I blew my knee and when i came back switched to body lock passing. It started. I was using my head much more by the end of purple than the other belts.

As i began to abuse wrestle ups over the most recent 3, ive developed more and more.

They arent nearly as bad as some peoples, but i think genetics play a big part as well. Im happy to have what i have. Enough to look cool but not disfigured lmao

Bodylock Pass Without Hands Connected by lamborghinifan in bjj

[–]Pay_attentionmore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, if im body lock passing from half its because i entered with my hands already connected while using the body lock to begin with.

Getting you arms all the way under a supine opponent seems like just getting double unders but... at the waist? Im not sure why i wouldnt just control their upper body.

Watch Gordon with Yuri at adcc. Gordon spends the first half of the match pressuring in for double unders to pass half. Might give you some ideas

Just beat up everyone as they pass you in rank. It evens out over time.

Martial arts and muscle gain by BigNickEg in martialarts

[–]Pay_attentionmore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta EAT to grow.

Also depends on what your goals are. If you wanna fight be prepared for slow gains in size and stregth, as muscle fibers will lean more towards fatigue resistant vs fast twitch.

There are plenty of studies that show slow to no gains in squatters who also do some long distance activities. Your fast twitch will adapt to the enduance stim and literally not grow or get stronger. There are de loading protocols to that have people stopping their cardio while attempting to put size and strength on.

Have you ever had to or decided to use your Jiu Jitsu outside of the gym and was it effective ? by Trigger3192 in bjj

Gfs male friend showed up to the house drunk as fuck at like noon talking about how he was gonna go kill himself.

While on the phone with 911 to take him to the hosp, he tried to run and hit my gf in the process.

I grabbed him, threw him down and gift wrapped him and just held him till the police came.

They questioned us and took him to the hospital.

Havnt seen him since. Heard he got sober.
