Had a friend who fell into that racket. Right after that whole “wake up now” thing. I think that’s what it was called

If you have a mediocre work from home job, I don't know why you wouldn't move to another country. Particularly if you're on the younger side and a man.

That JRB punt in the 1k/2k/2k Triton NLH game sure is something

Apparently Robl was staking him and you can see his death stare when the cards are turned up

Slightly amusing scenario earlier.

Playing $10/20 NL with a $20 BB ante. With this structure, the SB should pretty much never fold, if folded to.

Hand gets to the SB, he laughs and shows 32o and folds. BB then shows 32o also and wins the pot.

Shipped a legit $10K pot at $5/10. 3-way, 3-bet pot with everyone having more than 300bb. That was kinda fun.

Pretty much the ultimate action flop. I 3-bet pre-flop and the two callers flopped a set and a straight vs my nut flush draw. No one was folding the flop obv.

Yeah it was alright, but I don't really get excited by big hands these days, win or lose.

It's what happens when you are both desensitized to money and dead inside, lol.

So I finished my 13th hyperbaric treatment today. I do 1.5 ATM @100% O2 for an hour at a pop. I originally signed up for 30 but looks like ima need 80 to 120 of these bad boys. I feel like absolute dog shyt. I am tired and feel like general ass. But they tell me that means my brain and body are healing. I am posting this up as a PSA for those of you with kids that are playing football, skiing, lax, or girls soccer (massive concussion rate).

With the knowledge I have now I would not have participated in skeleton. I would not have allowed my daughter to participate in freestyle skiing. Turns out by the time she was 15 she had 10 concussions. She ended up spending quality time at the carrick clinic in texas and is doing great but it took 2 years and a lot of heartache. Many of my former teammates are having very similar issues as I am and it is a real fukken drag.

I have been dealing with pcs issues since 04. I had a really nasty one that took me several months to "recover"from. It has gotten progressively worse over the years and came to a head about a month ago and it finally got me off my ass to get this done.

Head trauma is obviously serious bizzness. It changed me a lot - and not for the better. I sincerely hope u guys with kids or someday have kids see this and steer them away from sports and activities that have high concussion rates.

Squid, do you agree that weight-lifting is probably the safest sport?

If you have proper technique, the chance of injury is minimal because all of your movements are controlled.

I played flag football last week and injured my hamstrings diving to catch someone and had to stop playing and also couldn't go to the gym for a few days. But I've never injured myself squatting 400 lbs or whatever.

I suspect weight lifting is not safe overall because safety requires form and most people's form is shyt.

Swimming has to be up there for most people that aren't an infant.

Biking has far and away been the most dangerous for me with 3 different incidents: broken collar bone, broken tooth, separated shoulder

Baseball is a close second with dislocated thumb×2 and a broken pointer.

Squid: Had to look up hyperbaric treatment, pretty fascinating stuff. I'm glad there's some type of treatment for this kind of injury, and that you're able to take it. Honestly sounds like something I'd like to try once just for the hell of it.

Sabr: recent post from one of the better lifters imo

Quote:

High intensity and consistently going in and smashing high RPE workouts works better than a slow and steady approach for building muscle or strength. It will also shorten your career very quickly. There's a very consistent and easily observable trend of the higher volume/lower intensity/visibly training with lower RPE guys and LONGEVITY. Whether pro or hobbyist, a lower intensity approach and less general training effort may lead to less victories, but you get to stay huge shredded and health by normal people standards. If you push the envelope with drugs/training/food, you may get bigger and get there faster, but you're likely to burn out sooner.

For a jerkoff like me with lots of other interests/hobbies who cares less about winning the show and more about the process itself plus looking big and lean for the non-bodybuilders largely for vanity/neuroticism, the answer is obvious. I wanna be able to do shows and get better every year until my early 40s and continue to do them into my late 40s/early 50s while declining relatively slowly. It's a weird mental battle trying to channel my inner-EV and puss out; too much heart as loco would say. Facking up my knees by just trying to hard even when I'm trying to not try hard. Did that extra rep I knew I shouldn't have taken yesterday on inclines. Just gotta stop thinking about trying to win the show in 2020 and think more about being able to do the show in 2029. If I play my cards wrong, i could be too injured/screwed up from blasting too much ****/mentally tired of it. God forbid I switch to distance running at that time, that'd be the most true defeat. Slooowww and steady. Dexter Jackson, not Ronnie Coleman. No crazy test+tren+anadrol offseason cycles, 400mgs and some peptides. Save the goodies for contest time.

Jordan Peters with crazy high intesity/high frequency routines? He'll be retired by 33 and probably have severe medical difficulties later on. Rafael Brandao who bro splits, has never been seen in a squat rack or deadlifting and does about 70% of his routine on machines? He'll still be kicking at 48. Look at how Shawn Rhoden became mr o.: Just train softer than the other guys until they injure themselves and then outdiet everyone and have no bubblegut and win at age 42 even though you have less muscle.

BGP: very interesting stuff. Intuitively it makes a lot of sense, but as I don't even know if I'll make it to 40 and take it 1 day at a time, I have more fun lifting heavy azz weights.
