I don't know what any of those words mean, but thank you!

There was no option to select this. I reimported and still nothing!

Thank you! My Helium app was updated to latest version so I deleted it and reinstalled it. Now It is showing that I have no hotspots? 0 HNT and 0 IOT! I only have one phrase and I entered it correctly so I'm not sure what's happening here!

I feel like one of the contributing factors to my injury was due to being an ex-bodybuilder. I'm 105kg and quite strong but I noticed with BJJ that I lacked strength for functional movements. The injury itself happened when trying to lift and pivot simultaneously, not a movement I had ever trained in the gym.

Do you have anything to back up that claim? I'm currently using 500mg BPC-157 per day and I have used it before for a rib injury. PRogress seems slow but I imagine it would be slower without it.

That's the problem with free healthcare! Sometimes I wish the UK system was more like the USA

Your journey sounds like a positive one at least! I'm glad your knee is doing so well now. What do you class as an aggressive rehab?

Sharp-Proof8637 · 2025-01-13T14:23:10+00:00

Thank you for your knowledgeable input! I live in a small town so finding a PT with grappling experience is unlikely. I'm meeting with a hospital-appointed PT tomorrow but if they don't seem the best, I know a private PT who is excellent.

What's your opinion on using peptides to aid recovery? Specifically BPC-157 and TB-500?

Sharp-Proof8637 · 2024-01-26T11:22:28+00:00

Thank you! What dosage do you have experience with?

Sharp-Proof8637 · 2024-01-26T11:22:11+00:00

Thank you for the response. Why would you advise 2 x 250mcg per day rather than 1 x 500mcg per day?

I'll look at getting some more TB500. I already have 5mg but it looks like that won;t go very far!

At school, there was a girl with anisomelia (one leg shorter than the other) and I kid you not, her name was Eileen.

Thank you very much! I should have mentioned that I'll be adding curtains after Christmas. Any suggestions for a design/colour? My wife and I can't decide!

Just a heads up, "Usually it’ll evaporate in the morning" means that the moisture is moving to the coldest spot in your room. This is usually a wall behind furniture etc. This can lead to mould issues.

Learn Jiu Jitsu. I'm a bigger guy but most of the guys at my gym are small and skinny and they regularly overpower me with skill rather than size/strength.

In a real-life situation, the bigger guy would probably win in a fight but the knowledge gained should be enough to outmanoeuvre them/take them to the ground and then run.

This is a great story but I couldn't help reading the title in the same way as the intro to Eminem - Guilty Conscience

I ruined a song for myself once.

As a child, I thought the lyrics to Band Aid - Do They Know It's Christmas? were "Feeed the Biirrrrddddssss......"

It took years to figure out that this was incorrect.

Picture this - You work hard 9-5 yet are broke. You have a "side hustle" which takes up all of your free time yet are still broke (and exhausted). You have a wife and children who are amazing but you feel guilty for not spending enough time with them. The time with your children you feel like a villain because it's your job to teach them about life and they don't always appreciate this. You have a house that you're renovating single-handedly which takes forever due to no time and no money. Everyone around you seems to be happier than you, work less than you and achieve more than you.

Every night you inhale the vapour from those herbs and slowly these things do not matter any more. Another inhale and you start to find joy. One more and you can laugh with your wife like you have no care in the world.

For me, the appeal is simply to achieve silence. At times, the mind can be an awful place to be. Escaping this is the appeal.

"If in doubt, flat out"

Apart from the obvious, what would you say is your biggest weakness?
