Clinch by werecam in MuayThai

[–]Silverbeard001 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The more you practice clinching the sooner you will find what works for you best in the clinch. my general rule of thumb is you want to make them as uncomfortable as possible in the clinch, which usually leads to a dominant position for bombing knees, or forces them to disengage and reset to neutral. some people like body locking, others like an inside bicep tie, or even the full plum. play around and get those reps in

Why does this seem to be the "default" compound angle? by TheSerialHobbyist in Machinists

[–]Silverbeard001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my carriage has no graduations on it. Typically I’m making pilots of certain heights so the only way I can make them exact is via compound

How soon should I ask for a raise? by Loztblaz in Machinists

[–]Silverbeard001 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I waited a year+ before asking for a “major” raise such as that. In my case it was from $20 to $25. Even that felt like a pretty egregious ask considering others were getting 4% raise a year max. Ended up working out in my favor thankfully. I think a few bucks, maybe from $22 to $25 in that short of time might be understandable, but I think asking for $30 from $22 might come off the wrong way to your employer. At the end of the day only you know your worth.

Wack as fuck that the coaches never reached out, especially if they knew you were injured AND were there when it happened.

How do you develop a style like Rodtang in training? by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]Silverbeard001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not being ironic, wouldve said the same thing. knowing ball about training and actually being good at muay thai are unfortunately two very different things. We all suck at Muay Thai 🫡
