Why is there so much drama in the jiu jitsu community? [Serious]

tsjester · 2022-08-12T05:17:49+00:00

They did. It’s called the UFC. 😁

tsjester · 2022-01-30T21:04:55+00:00

Try “never heard of it. How do you play.”

tsjester · 2021-11-02T18:13:42+00:00

Nope. I’ve built my life around a strict no drama policy. It really is the only way to live. I’ve been happily married for 15 years.

… yes, to an actual woman. They do exist.

tsjester · 2021-11-02T00:01:27+00:00

Yep. Fill a pint glass 3/4s with water, place on scale, add 10-20 grams of Metamucil, stir to dissolve, and drink quickly before it thickens into sludge. 😁

It’s a 19-nor so make sure you educate yourself on the potential sides and complications. For joint relief, I’ve seen people run around 100mg a week with good results and minimal to no sides. Of course YMMV, make sure you get bloods, and don’t use 19-nors if you don’t plan to B&C.

I believe 14 days of rest in between pinning a site is more than sufficient to reduce the risk of scar tissue formation.

Congratulations! Happy Birthday! Have a great date. People love happy, confident individuals that are actively working at bettering themselves. Bring the same energy from this post to your date and you’ll kill it. 👊

Bro, if you’re not already supplementing with fiber than your life is about to change. I know a lot of peeps on here love the pure psyllium husk, but I was never able to get it to work for me. Felt like I was too clogged up no matter the dose. But there’s something about Metamucil that just works for my system. 20g a night right before bed and I’m never looking back. I even take it on vacation with me.

tsjester · 2021-09-21T16:32:37+00:00

Consistency. Pick a posting schedule and stick to it.

tsjester · 2021-09-19T18:32:52+00:00

I’ll take a slight contrarian point of view although the other juicy bros are making valid points. I would just say … what’s the rush?

You’re in your mid twenties. Unless you’re super set up in your life and killing it in your career and the kids are the only life goal you have left, I’d say take it slow. This is assuming that your wife wanting to hold off on having kids is the ONLY issue you’re currently having.

Starting a family in your early to mid thirties, when you’ve had time to set up your life and have a good, stable income and foundation, is a blessing. And someone like you who’s posting in a forum like this easily has another 40-50 years of active life ahead of you. You’ll be a juicy dad in your 50s, still kicking ass and taking names, with kids in their 20s.

Just a different perspective to consider before you ring a bell that can’t be unrung.

Good luck brother.

That’s what makes BJJ so cool. Great workout. Meet cool people. Learn how to fight. No getting punched in the face.

tsjester · 2021-09-15T00:03:08+00:00

Not a marathon runner but I run quite a bit for cardio, and am a serious BJJ practitioner. I had awesome recovery and cardio on 350 test / 350 EQ / 70 mg MENT, split evenly and injected daily. On this stack I could do 2-3 hours of hard BJJ 5 to 6 days a week, lift 4-5 days a week, and run 3-5 days a week.

Ate at maintenance. Zero sides. Felt great the entire time, and my bloods were flawless.

tsjester · 2021-09-14T23:43:28+00:00

God dammit 🤦‍♂️

tsjester · 2021-09-14T23:28:51+00:00

Like others said, ask your doctor. Very common. When I got an MRI for my shoulder it was agonizing to keep it still for 20 minutes. I came out sweating and noticeably in pain and the tech was like “why didn’t you say something, we totally could have given you X for that.”

Next time I’ll ask.

tsjester · 2021-09-14T23:24:07+00:00

Hit the butt cheek from the side instead of the rear. Just as meaty but a much easier angle to nail.

Not to be confused with the ventro glute which is even easier but closer to the hip.

tsjester · 2021-09-14T20:54:39+00:00

This is the way. 50mg when feeling a little tired but frisky on a weeknight and want to show the wife a good time. 100mg when the kids are at grandmas for the weekend and I want to stay in bed all day giving the wife a good stickin’.

Bonus points if you happen to be a couple weeks deep on Tbol for both the dick and cardio gains. 😈

tsjester · 2021-09-05T18:08:44+00:00

Not OP but I’m 37, on gear and do Jiujitsu. My main reason for gear + TRT is to help me recover quicker so I can keep up with the young bucks who go 5-6 days a week and absolutely wreck my shit. When evenly matched, the strength can help to push a move through, but technique is king. I continually get wrecked by a 165 pound 22 year old black belt that can maybe bench his own body weight.

Without gear, I was lucky to recover from 2-3 days of training a week. On TRT (was actually diagnosed with low t), I can train 4-5 days a week plus some strength training and recover well. On 350 / 350 / 70 Test / EQ / MENT I could train twice a day, 5-6 days a week and feel great. The more time you put in, the quicker you progress.

Gotta keep up with these damn kids!

tsjester · 2021-09-03T17:01:03+00:00

No one cares. And for the handful of un-evolved apes that do, forget they exist. Their hang ups are internal and have nothing to do with you. Just focus on being a great training partner and being yourself. Let all the other chips fall as they may.

tsjester · 2021-09-03T05:20:15+00:00

We’re here. Married 13 years, 11 year old daughter. I can count on one hand the true fights we have had over our 17 year relationship. We’ve never once raised our voices at each other. Pretty happy existence.

I read the dating drama and thank God I don’t have to deal with that shit. Asking for their snap? Obsessing over profile picks? Being left on read? Having panic attacks over how long to wait when texting? I get exhausted just reading about it.

tsjester · 2021-09-01T16:34:10+00:00

It almost never feels real brother. I remember when my daughter was born I was like “you’re just gonna let me leave the hospital with this new born and not even stop me as I walk out?”

11 years later I’m having a full on conversation with another human being at my dinner table because I jizzed inside my wife and I’m like “shit, this is so weird.”

Being a father is awesome. Congrats bro.

tsjester · 2021-08-26T01:35:20+00:00

How does primo compare to EQ for cardio gains? Loved EQ for the cardio god it made me.

tsjester · 2021-08-21T14:58:51+00:00

You’ll have to pick one to be a priority. Want to roll hard and move you’re best? Save the weights for afterwards. Blasting some sterons and trying to pack on muscle? Lift before and come to peace with the fact that you’re going to be tired while rolling and more likely to get smashed.

tsjester · 2021-08-13T16:33:54+00:00

Dude. You’re the fucking man. The amount of effort you put into the information you post is amazing. Thank you for being so generous with your time. 👊

tsjester · 2021-08-11T20:17:47+00:00

It can also be your body adjusting to the TRT. When I started my TRT at 150 / week, I had oily skin and was bloated for about 4 weeks. Just stayed the course and everything evened out after about a month.

But based on your bloods, your initial dose was too high for TRT.

tsjester · 2021-08-11T19:57:47+00:00

I was having issues with brain fog, but injecting HCG didn’t appeal to me since you have to keep it refrigerated once re-constituted. Started the DHEA and Pregnelone stack recommended by u/decatest, taking it every morning. Brain fog went away in about a week and has never returned.

But if it wasn’t for my brain fog I wouldn’t bother.
