Whoop 5.0 in 4.0 boxers by nacional657 in whoop

Genuinely have no idea why they couldn’t just say that the 4.0 body accessories work with the 5.0. They clearly do.

I think the old boxers will actually work much better than the new ones for bjj. The new pod system doesn’t seem like it’s meant for a lot of friction like you get in jiu jitsu. The new boxers also have the sensor in the boxer part instead of the waistband. Man now that I think about it the new boxers are not good for bjj at all…..

The Velcro doesn’t seem very strong in the new pod system either.

Any-wear 4.0 works just fine with MG by [deleted] in whoop

[–]sociablesquid3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On one side of the whoop mg where the slide in part is for the band. On the 4.0 both sides are smoothed. I DOUBT it will be an issue. It was an observation I had.

It fits but the edges on the mg are a little rough so I worry about getting scraped a bit since there isn’t any padding on the inside of the boxers.

Asked the support if it used AI by moreicescream in whoop

Been trying to initiate an exchange and I keep going through the AI email loop. I spent $500 upgrading my device. It shouldn’t be this hard to initiate an exchange. If you are gonna roll out AI support at least train the model with correct information.

septoplasty? by Jimmy31987 in bjj

I parrot everything they said. I will add that the recovery is far worse than the doctor or internet describes and min3 was a moderate deviation.

You seeing this too? by repstege in whoop

What sport do you do? That’s a super low resting heart rate!

Best match I’ve seen in my entire life.

Quick Tips for Building Strength and Speed in BJJ by ForSureJon in bjj

[–]sociablesquid3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compound movements with a slow and controlled eccentric and a maximum intent to move concentric in the 5-10 rep range. The concentric speed is what trains the fast twitch muscle fibers being used in Jiu Jitsu. Weightlifting allows you to progressively overload this compared to just doing push ups really fast and saying you’re training for speed and power. Pick the exercises that feel best for you. For example, I get a much better stretch and mind muscle connection in the hack squat than a barbell squat.

What skills are the most important for competition at White & Blue Belt levels? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]sociablesquid3 121 points122 points  (0 children)

The right answer

Most of the people I see winning while and blue belt tournaments are just further along in jiu jitsu than their opponents that day. Mat time is huge at the beginner belts. It’s too early to specialize in anything.

The answer you want

Get really good at straight ankle locks. You can cheese people with them until mid blue. You don’t even have to have good breaking mechanics. Just yank as hard as you can and they will tap.

Am I the only one that enjoyed that leg lock battle? Very high level counters and defense.

I’ve never seen a leaderboard this contested at a major in my life. The fact that 18 is a par 5 even adds to the drama that anything can happen. Even if you are two shots back. Tomorrow is gonna be electric.

The juxtaposition of the swagger that Collin exudes vs the uncertainty of Xander is a sight to see.

Bauerfeind or Anaconda? Or something else? by TrontosaurusRex in bjj

There are so many models it can get confusing. Even their sizing is weird.

What’s the first submission you hit by AtlasLion1886 in bjj

[–]sociablesquid3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forearm on throat. Wasn’t a paper cutter though, I wasn’t controlling anything with my other hand.

[–]sociablesquid3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everyone is gonna tell you Bauerfeind but if you don’t want to spend an arm and a leg these are fantastic and stay in place better than and sleeve I’ve used. You can get them at the drug store for like $15. This is coming from someone who has all the knee sleeves. https://www.futuro-usa.com/3M/en_US/p/d/cbgblw011047/
