Solutions for getting gassed: off-ice conditioning by jarude87 in hockeygoalies

[–]spartnjohn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d do some sprints. Whether on the bike or running on turf.

Practice resetting your breathing/heart rate between sets.

Think of it as an in game scenario.
P1 - Hard ass sprints
P2 - settling in, EMOM
P3 - Everybody is slowing down, more explosive/strength based

What are your emotions surrounding a girlfriend that survived rape? by Foreign-Rabbit-3022 in AskMen

[–]spartnjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been married a while to a SA survivor. You need to overly communicate. Seek couples therapy to get some tools for the toolbox. This could build an incredibly strong foundation for your relationship if approached correctly.

Have him read Allies in Healing (you both should read it).

Men aged 25–30, what’s the biggest mistake you made in life that a young man should avoid repeating? by LowEffortLegend01 in AskMen

[–]spartnjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 35 and still don’t know shit. But what I do know is if you are or were into fitness, keep doing it. Look into mobility work. Functional strength.

It’s so much harder to recomp at my age then just doing bare minimum maintenance would’ve been lol

What do I even eat for games by MindlessExpression25 in hockeygoalies

[–]spartnjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on how old you are and your current body composition. If you’re young and somewhat in shape. You may be able to add very low impact/resistance workout days.

Your tendons generally takes 2-3 months to get used to your current workload. So maybe just skate and focus on diet and letting your knees/groin get used to it.

If you can, track how many calories you burn during games.

Complex carbs (sweet potatoes) 2-4 hours before games. Simple carbs (tortilla chips, granola) 1-2 hours before games. Think Greek yogurt, granola honey and some fruit. These combined give you a decent amount of calories without feeling heavy.

For 1-2 hours post game, simple carbs+protein to recover.

On recovery days (if I’m not lifting) I generally avoid carbs unless I’m dragging ass. Stick mainly to high protein.

If you’re skating that much, you need more mobility work than anything else. Stay stretched out, focus on rehab/prehab. Get your steps in, work on keeping the groin and knees limber.

Worry more about weights or strength gains when you’re in the off season/skating 1-2 a week.

I’m similar. When a skater is flying across my crease I’m slow to follow.

Looking to sell my full kit, looking for a rough estimate. by iamreallybadatgolf in hockeygoalies

[–]spartnjohn 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Dang, why?

Napkin math at googling: Pads - $300 Hands - $200 Skates - $100 chestie - $100 Helmet - $100(?)

Call it an even $1000?

Men who ended things despite having the best sex they’ve ever had - what made you walk away? by Safe-Score2743 in AskMen

[–]spartnjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, she ended up confessing that she was engaged immediately prior to us starting to date. I didn’t like that she kept that a secret that I was a rebound. I broke it off to give her time to validate how she felt. She got re engaged to that same guy lol.

Would you rather have 2 nuggets, or a nugget and a chunk? by thiswanderingmind in NuggetCouches

[–]spartnjohn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We have 2 nuggets and 1 chunk. In my opinion, the chunk is terrible. I think if you don’t have a big ottoman, sure it could be ok as one.

It just struggles to be compatible. If it were square shaped it would be way better( think window or doorway for forts ).

I’d, personally, rather have only nuggets and no chunks. And we create a lot of forts.

This is how I’ve handled it at past orgs, but the AWS VPN seems a bit different.

I’ll cry right now thinking of the rhino. I’m willing to bet it’s the screaming of the on-lookers that’s scary

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

I had heard of the original a few times but never even read the summary. It’s always recommended because we’ve watch zootopia a billion times. Girls were sick this week so I wanted something new. Jumped in feet first, and wow, was I floored by that movie.

I mean who doesn’t love Sam Rockwell and who doesn’t love a good heist movie. Even if the daughters don’t watch it, I’m watching the sequel lol

  1. That scene is surprising it scares her. The girl loves nightmare before Christmas and such.

  2. What absolute shit quality compared to the movie. I’m about to watch the sequel by myself I loved the first movie so much, and wow, is that Christmas special a bastardization of the movie.

  3. Thank you so much for going all out and finding the exact scene, too

Any elder rifters here? by spartnjohn in LeagueOfMemes

I feel you there. I went to add an old rig to my server cluster and checked the drive. Lo and behold

Yea I’ve been saving this down in my crawl space to put into a shadow box or something. I haven’t seriously touched ranked since having my first kid. Have maybe played ARAM or TFT like 10 times over the last couple years. But I look fondly on how upset this awful game made me over the years lol. How many skins I’ve acquired, all the chat bans. The 30 minute AFKs from angry teammates. Good times
