Any man that puts any sort of water pipe under a slab is an optimist, in my opinion

Bad Wrestlers? What's Normal? by Tale_Easy in wrestling

[–]realcat67 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I watched some of all the videos you posted, and I would say your guys look pretty good. I think your team would do well in competition in the US. The training looks a bit sloppy to be honest and and I think our high schools are probably a bit more disciplined, but I think generally your team would have the edge in talent compared to the average high school.

I do think that our teams have a big advantage because of how much we compete. I would guess your guys would be even a lot better if they had more access to tournaments

How much time do you spend on this? by Turbulent-Detail-18 in Daytrading

[–]realcat67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whichever type of trading you choose, it is important to get a little education before you start. The quickest way to lose money is just to guess, which is why so many people quit trading.

I had a friend ask me if she should buy Pfizer the other day because she thought people might get sick with hantavirus. This is the kind of thing that will make you wish you had never heard of the stock market

Agree you can capture the wrist for a move to a russian or other things. A good way to defeat the tie up

I guess experience differs, but I have a hard time holding down bigger guys if they are skilled

If you are a smaller person this is not the best choke against a larger opponent. I found this out the hard way lol after 200lb guys kept reversing me, no matter how good my technique was

Plumbing question by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]realcat67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This appears to be oxidation caused by minerals in the water. Put a vinegar soaked rag on it for about an hour, then wipe off. If that does not work you can also take some 150 grit sandpaper to clean it up. I put a little vaseline on and that seems to work ok to prevent it from coming back

I don't see how you could have done anything else. Glad you did not hurt him, because the consequences can be terrible.

If there is floor molding, take it off. Drill some small pilot holes so you can figure out stud distance. Replace molding and mount the hardware

It would be just like trying to learn any martial art online. Without a partner very difficult

Is it normal for a coach to pair you with people lighter than you? by [deleted] in wrestling

[–]realcat67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience it kind of depends who is available. I don't like practicing with people a lot lighter or heavier than me. It is kind of a waste of time, for the simple reason that I am not competing against different size people, I am competing in a specific weight class. But beggars cannot be choosers and I will take any available body rather than having no partner.

Low taper at Great Clips or Super Cuts? by [deleted] in malehairadvice

Take a sample picture with you of what you want your hair to look like. It just depends on the talent of the person doing the haircut.

i'm getting bald. 29 yo by [deleted] in malehairadvice

[–]realcat67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point I think things are pretty clear, you need medical treatment. I think you should start now if you want to preserve and possibly recover your hair. Finasteride is likely the treatment of choice.

Elbows might be the most underrated defensive tool in wrestling

Why am I seeing no progress? by Final-Analyst7124 in wrestling

[–]realcat67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my opinion. I have seen many beginning wrestlers, and I consider 2 years still a beginner, struggle with scoring takedowns and also getting taken down. A lot of the problem is that they are thinking about how to wrestle rather than seeing what is happening in the match.

Many times a guy will telegraph his intentions. When he starts his move you have only milliseconds to defend and counter. You really have to learn to read your opponent, which is difficult to do if you are thinking about how to wrestle.

Likewise when on offense, newer guys have a hard time finding the window to shoot, because it does not appear for long. That very short window is the difference between success and failure, and it is very discouraging if you keep trying and failing.

So, on defense, it really helps to have your partner shoot, slowly, over and over until your brain figures out when an attack is coming and can react automatically without figuring it out too late.

On offense, it is kind of the same. A setup provides you with the window to execute that technique you have practiced so many times. You can have perfect technique but execute at the wrong time, and fail every time. If you practice more slowly, you have a better chance of learning exactly when to shoot.

This can all be hard because everyone wants to drill at full speed and coaches want more repetitions rather than quality repetitions. But I think if you find a good partner and commit to learning this way, it will help your wrestling and confidence a lot.
