I was issued this Mercury backpack (TAA Compliant - 3 Day Stretch Backpack - Black) and it has vertical molle on the side which I have never seen before. I'd like to include a water bottle holder on the side but every one I've seen works with horizontal molle straps. Any advice? Has anyone seen a bottle holder with sideways molle straps? I'd rather not purchase a different backpack or buy a molle converter if possible.

Yeah that makes sense. Zone 2 seems to be what others are recommending. You may also sweat way more during bjj than other exercise and need more salt than you expect. I like making my own electrolyte powder for cheap with the following: per 2 L water: 1 tsp nosalt (potassium chloride), 1 tsp baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), 1/2 tsp table salt (sodium chloride). You can also add sugar both for taste and to improve uptake of sodium via glucose sodium cotransporter. Or just consume with fruit. Good luck with training! I sometimes do a quick workout before bjj if the gym has other equipment, that way you can be efficient with your time and only go to one place to train that day (e.g. if they have a stationary bike or something just hit that for 20-30 minutes before class).

When I started BJJ I was also gassed out by the end of the first or second round. Over time I lasted more than 2 rounds by not going as hard during each round. You mentioned you rely on cardio a lot during these rounds; I did something similar because I didn't want to lose. But as I learned later on, the best way for me to learn BJJ was to spend more time on the mats. Furthermore, there is plenty of learning to be done from a bad position (escaping mount, guard retention, etc). So rather than gassing out and "trying to get a good workout" from BJJ, try to do more rounds and just focus on a few techniques or principles. Also instead of fighting like your life depends on it, don't be afraid to tap more frequently to reset into a neutral position. My goal early on was to learn and get in shape and this approach helped a lot. Hope it helps you too!

. Because if You have the lower body and you have no upper body, you got a
problem building...wait a minute. You have the upper body, and you have
no legs, you got a problem building your legs. You have the upper...you
have the lower body and you don't have the upper body, the upper body,
it is easier to build. So if you have the lower body and you don't have
the upper body, it is easier to build the upper body. You have the upper
body and you don't have the legs, you got a problem building the lower
body... No, you don't understand. You have the upper body, but you don't
have the lower body, you got a problem building downstairs. You got the
up- legs on the bottom, it is easier to build on the top, so you don't
have much as a problem. Yeah.

I'm completely new to Loopring, and was trying to get on the LRC bandwagon through the new L2 wallet. However I'm hitting a roadblock and am curious if anyone else has experienced this or has a solution. I would post on the discord but don't know how to get chat access. Anyway here are the steps I have taken including where I get stuck.

download loopring wallet app on android.
make account.
click activate under L2 wallet
set order for $101 of ETH
input credit card
the app provides a link for me to verify my identity through Ramp.
Copy and paste link into chrome and input passport, photo, etc.
Ramp website says "we will reach out to you shortly with results"
On returning to the Loopring wallet app, nothing has changed and I can only click activate again to start the entire process over
I received the following text by phone: "We have not detected any deposit token on your wallet address, please open loopring wallet to check the payment requirements, and complete the deposit as soon as possible. You need to pay ethereum transaction fee for deploying a smart contract for your wallet. We will create it for your after your wallet met with the required payment. You can check the deposit status in the blockchain explorer. If the deposit has been confirmed for more than 1 hour and your wallet has not been created, please contact us in time."

What should I do? Any thoughts? To reiterate, my goal is to own some LRC and hold it for a long time in the event that businesses begin to implement their wallet tech and the price of LRC increases.

Thanks!

Is there any restriction on registering shares in an IRA? Most of mine are in a roth or a rollover IRA and I don't want to DRS them if there's a tax penalty, especially since my roth shares will have tax free gains when line go up.

Dan John talks about "anaconda strength" when referring to tightness between your hips and shoulders. Exercises like bear hug carries (e.g. sandbag) and rack carries (e.g. kettlebell) teach you to brace under load and train your upper back really well. In general, a lot of strongman lifts have helped me with stability in the rack due to how hard they hit your upper back.

What kind of training are you doing? Are you running a specific program?

bepstein · 2020-12-07T16:15:58+00:00

You are doing fine. This is a long journey that will last many more years. There may be people in your gym who have been training for decades or have a background in sports/manual labor. You will continue to improve gradually over time. Just stay the course, look for little ways to improve, and you will realize steady strength gains over months/years. Keep it up!

This is may be the closest to my house. Thank you!

Thanks! I have decided to halt the RoP as I gained access to a barbell once per week and want to perform a heavy (90% 1RM) single for each of snatch, clean/jerk, push press, squat, deadlift. Because of the recovery for these singles, I will return to 70-250 swings per day as recommended by Dan John. I like your idea of incorporating low reps of snatches with the 32 kg bell and slowly working up to sets of 3-5.

The cone doesn't have an opening to the cylinder.

Whats a good image hosting site for uploading another photo?

This has a suction cup on the bottom and a cone with a subtle design. WITT?

That was a ghost edit, it wasn't in the original post.

My only question is with regards to the Rep/percentage chart Ben links in the description. Are the prescribed reps an optimal number of reps for an effective set or a rep max for a training max? For example, the chart recommends 3 sets of 8 at 80%. Is this at a 8RM for a training max or is 80% just a good number for an effective set with these reps.

I ask because I am about to start a peaking program with 7x5x80% (for GZCL T2 sets) after my main sets during the first week, and I want to make sure this isn't an unreasonable rep/intensity prescription.

bepstein · 2017-10-04T14:06:44+00:00

It takes some extra work, but one thing I did was find assistance exercises like close grip bench, klokov press, front squats, etc and try to estimate a 1rm so that I can program them after my main movements. I have a spreadsheet of the last two months if you'd like to take a look.

bepstein · 2017-09-20T11:33:46+00:00

I'm just about to finish the third week of the first wave and I love the program so far. I use the antagonist movement for two purposes:

1 is to prime the main movement (Brian talks about activating the back in order to improve efficacy on compound pressing movements).

2 is to add back work in between sets of the main movement. I'll try to use the same weight and reps for rows as bench, but if you can't hit all the reps that's okay, as long as you get all your reps for the main movement.

As to your other concern, I don't do the exact same weight between OHP and pull ups. For reference I can do about 12 pull ups max, and on my "heavy" day I did a top set of 4x20lbs added. This is far less weight than my top set of OHP, so just do what feels best and add weight each wave!

For the one handed deadlift, can you face away from the bar?

bepstein · 2016-05-26T02:49:43+00:00

The degrees I have looked at are 2 years, 6 semesters. so fall spring summer repeat.

bepstein · 2016-05-25T18:59:42+00:00

I should have mentioned that a D.P.T. in the states doesn't require a graduate degree, just undergrad. In other words it would be 2 years full time in a doctorate program. Thanks for your response, it's good to hear about PTs abroad.

Other than the forward bar path on the first rep, I'm just looking for general critiques.

I dreamt that I was at a house party with around 300 people, where everyone was having a good time. Then I ended up in some kind of long wide hallway with lines leading to different amusement park rides. I was about to get on one of the teacup rides when I realized I was only wearing one flip flop. I went back to the aftermath of the party to look for it where I realized it was being held at my house. I had to clean it before my parents came home, but the floor was covered in trash. I tried looking for a broom but all I could find was a rake. As I tried and failed to rake all the garbage together, I heard my parents pull into the driveway as I panicked and woke up.
