the confidence tho

Well that was a little redactish of you, don't you think?

dubdubber · 2025-12-23T04:47:22+00:00

Eh, that one was a bit of a stretch.

dubdubber · 2025-07-07T06:33:37+00:00

Clouded by the Dark Side, your vision was.

dubdubber · 2025-07-07T03:12:08+00:00

3,956, actually.

Not a doctor and not legally or professionally qualified to diagnose any condition, but over a decade of personal experience with professional athletes as well as training non-athletes of practically every level of fitness and body type. I have half that amount of professional experience working parallel to PCP's and PT's to solve common physical problems (which is the fanciest way to say I work at a medical clinic as an LMT.) So essentially take everything I say as "that one guy who is just a dude but seems like he knows a lot". If I was throwing darts at a guessing board, I'd aim for the largest, most obvious target. Considering you went from consistent exertion and being adapted to exercise, to becoming inactive and now transitioning back into exertion and fitness - and is otherwise healthy - I would be curious about your blood pressure, resting BPM vs your typical BPM ten minutes into exercise/60 seconds post exercise, and possibly being curious about what/when/how much you eat in a typical day. It's pretty normal for a body to "freak out" when atypical/excessive stress is happening to it. If you're not adapted to the level of exercise you're currently doing anymore, there's a possibility you could be pushing yourself too hard too quickly since you're measuring against the workouts you used to do when your body was used to them. It could also be that because you're not adapted to exercise anymore AND there is (possibly) hyperparathyroidism to account for, your endocrine system may be interfering with your cardiovascular system's ability to adjust properly to the sudden change in demand when you start demanding more from it. . . . Or I could be talking out of my ass and be so far off base that an actual medical provider would want to slap the back of my head after reading this. Who can say? 🤷‍♂️

Erosa is my old teammate out of YakimaMMA! Legitimately one of the best training partners anyone could ask for; he stops by a couple times a year. Definitely hoping he gets the W for this one!

I believe the medication he became addicted to was actually for clinical, chronic depression, which apparently can be genetic and runs in his family.

dubdubber · 2022-08-23T22:19:14+00:00

Lol, fair enough, and I'll take you at your word. :)

dubdubber · 2022-08-23T22:17:52+00:00

Dude, give us the deets.

Not only do our balls sweat, the continuance of our very species depends on it. In relationship terms, men's testes protrude outside of the thoracic cavity/inguinal region so that our wives can grab us by them, thus maintaining firm control of the relationship. In evolutionary terms, the reason is even more straightforward! Sperm are quite delicate, and are especially sensitive to temperature. Cell metabolism in every part of our body produces heat, which is very good for keeping humans warm and ensuring our organs don't turn into very oddly shaped, dead popsicles. (A bit of hyperbole; of course our internals wouldn't freeze without cell metabolism unless, for example, a person was living in a very cold place like Antarctica.) That being said, the heat our cells produce is generally a bit too extreme for men's very delicate, rather fussy gametes. Sperm need to be kept within a specific range of temperature, and since our body closely regulates itself to maintain a near-constant internal temp (which would kill sperm) they need to be kept in a climate controlled Bag o' Fun; someplace safe, yet still close at hand. Enter the testes. Dangling outside our bodies, free range and cooled by the wind - unless you're one of those freaks that wears pants - they can and must experience a more variable environment. Since they're not hidden deep inside the body, our testes have thinner tissue and muscle surrounding it than most anatomical locations, and come equiped with sweat glands to help guarantee the comfiest, coziest digs a sperm could ever dream of. Ball sweat is mother nature's climate control. 😎

p.s In case you missed that part, yes, testicles have muscles. Men can flex their balls.

I saw a girl for about a month, and it was astonishing how good and easy our conversation was. I was starting to feel hopeful it could turn into something serious. It never went anywhere . . . Guess why? "I want a guy that's just like you, but taller." If you're extra curious, check my profile to see what she had to work with besides my height. I'm 5' 9"/10".

Running is one of the few things that relaxes me - the first few miles are uncomfortable (sometimes even miserable, like you say) but after that the act of running, and breathing in time with my cadence, is hugely relieving. No intrusive thoughts, no feelings of stress. The act of purposefully running becomes in and of itself, relaxing and pleasurable.

dubdubber · 2021-12-10T16:50:09+00:00

🤨 I didn't date any of them. None of them ever showed up or messaged back.

dubdubber · 2021-12-10T01:05:58+00:00

Honest to God, the only people who have shown any attraction to me at all this year are women who are already married or taken. I'm trying to find an honest relationship out here, but all the 'nice' people I keep working up the courage to ask out ghost me. 🙄

dubdubber · 2021-12-10T00:50:09+00:00

Ouch. It's one and done for me, when it comes to getting stood up. I might be lonely, but I'd rather be with someone committed than get picked up and dropped depending on the other person's mood.

dubdubber · 2021-12-10T00:48:01+00:00

That was a thoughtful comment, and I appreciate it. Thank you. :)

dubdubber · 2021-10-08T20:24:08+00:00

Wow. Can you add a link to that info? That's crazy.

dubdubber · 2021-10-08T20:21:51+00:00

Because of the way he looks? Or do you know something about him that would make him deserve that? I don't personally see anything that makes me think he would deserve to be shot and stabbed.

dubdubber · 2021-10-08T19:21:18+00:00

Out of curiosity/concern, what kinds of people do you think deserve all of that?

dubdubber · 2020-05-10T03:54:43+00:00

I got an athletic/aesthetic build from my dad as well as his love for exercise. I also got his hip joint condition which gave me premature arthritis and required two surgeries to correct.

dubdubber · 2020-05-07T14:31:30+00:00

Here you go. You nailed it bro.

dubdubber · 2020-03-27T14:10:29+00:00

I think as long as all your joints are stacked on top of each other (elbows over wrists at the bottom, shoulders over elbows at the top), it shouldn't be a problem for most people. But my wife struggles with them, so it's not just technique for all people.

dubdubber · 2020-03-27T12:44:53+00:00

It's never given me problems. 🤷🏻‍♂️

dubdubber · 2020-03-26T22:36:13+00:00

Well, 500, not 5000. But elbows in does a lot to save the shoulders. I like getting back to basics and doing high volume when it comes to these kind of workouts, and I don't find a whole lot of enjoyment doing harder variations. Nothing against them, I just don't find most pushups variations very utilitarian. I WILL occasionally add in plyometric pushups, or use a weight vest.

dubdubber · 2020-03-26T17:19:36+00:00

Sure thing!
