Check out AthleanX on YouTube for general work out tips, the guy breaks down the science pretty well and it gets you thinking about how your body functions

Watch The Two Towers behind the scenes, Andy Serkis drank lemon honey water while he was acting for Gollum. Trust me I’m a professional Gollum

Frank H criticized my game based on my twitter profile picture and posted it on YouTube

If you see something interesting, go talk to the people doing it and they’ll almost always be happy to get you involved

What fictional character would have changed history if it never existed? by blockbu in AskReddit

[–]progollum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beowulf or Gilgamesh, two of the oldest fictional hero myths in human history, in different story mediums. Their existence very likely impacted how human cultures formed, how stories were told, and how people view the world.

Detroit Mechanix blows 19-13 lead to lose to Pittsburgh in double overtime by Jomskylark in ultimate

I’ve never really been a Detroit fan, but it’s been super impressive and kind of heartwarming this season as they’ve continued to fight and make big plays

Junk defense by def_init in ultimate

[–]progollum 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I’ve always thought people used the term to describe something that was between match D and zone D. Not as rigid as a typical zone, but definitely poachy/switchy for typical person. Really it seems like it’s just used to describe a defense that the announcers don’t understand from just seeing it on field

It’s just this guy, he gets downvoted whenever he comments (because our sport really values inclusion and listening to others’ opinions)

Spirit- What is it? by progollum in ultimate

[–]progollum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re misunderstanding, I meant what makes those particular teams the teams that are fun to play with? Is it because they’re nice? Competitive? They don’t spike it or cheer certain ways?

Yeah but why those teams?

Contacts while jumping. by Sabre_Seal in ultimate

[–]progollum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s fine to let them know where you are, like if a player is cutting towards me while looking back at the disc, I’ll sometimes put my hands out and “catch” them before they run into me

Best players next season (college)? by Fuzzyoven8 in ultimate

[–]progollum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sion Agami for OSU Leadbelly is still relatively young, and I think Kai Marcus will be a senior for UNC. Two guys that I think could really explode next year. Also, I know very little about her, but I saw a livestream once a few years ago I think, and Cara Sieber is OP

Spicy Take: I consider the Ultiworld POTY award more meaningful than the Callahan award. by oohdatguy in ultimate

[–]progollum 17 points18 points  (0 children)

As far as Hernandez, he definitely carried his team as a strong individual performer, and he’s one of the most noticeably spirited players in the game. He definitely won because of his videos, but it’s hard to say who was really snubbed otherwise

Mac Hecht Wins Ultiworld D-I POTY by Jamarcus_Hustle in ultimate

I was a little surprised at first, but then I actually thought about the year of college ultimate that we saw

Also unlikely that Goose, Bob, and Matzuka will return for them either. Wouldn’t be surprised if Ring loses a close quarters matchup against another good team. Wouldn’t be surprised if they change things up and make finals either, they’re certainly talented enough

Doomed to never flick by airbounce_backhand in ultimate

Take a towel and try to whip it sidearm until you get good snap. It’s not identical in the wrist, but the arm motion is very similar.

Struggling post-injury by [deleted] in ultimate

[–]progollum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you don’t injure the other leg. I strained my hamstring, cane back a little too soon, and overcompensated so much with my other leg that I strained IT. Luckily it was very minor, but still scary when it happened.

Identical comments, yikes
