They say the funny poses you see in old timey photos is because nobody wanted to punch heads because you break your hands, so everybody was more interested in body blows. i have also read that the gloves adding so much more volume to your hands changed the best defensive stance from the old-timey prizefighter poses where you keep your head as far away as possible and use your arms to parry incoming head strikes to the modern style where you can rely on the sheer volume of the gloves to collect blows so it makes sense to keep your head close to your hands when guarding. which is the explanation i read for why the old-timey boxing poses look so funny: the gloves themselves made them outdated i wonder if boxing could stand a shift away from lots of concussions, because today's audiences love the big head blows and knockouts

i would be down. it looks more brutal but safety-wise as long as you dont get an infection in your bleeding wound its basically the exact opposite. humans are able to fully recover from cuts, not from concussions

You don't want any separation because your opponent will hit your glove and you'll just punch yourself. You're right that crowds do love a good beating and there are lots of young dudes who seem more than happy to provide it. I'm not sure what we could do to change that. I've personally never had a concussion (I've had multiple scans over the years), but I also just box in a training gym where nobody goes full force.

Mild concussions are difficult to detect using things like MRI. That's why there's a push to use newer tests with more sensitivity and accuracy, like cortical Metrics.

Lifting weights is cool for all peoples, straights and gays, boys and girls and nonbinaries. Yoga is also cool and good and people should stop being stuck up about how peeps get their sweat on. Cardio sucks though. Rarity has issued a correction as of 12:04 on Dec 30, 2018 |

Maybe they reckoned you'd play football on your own time anyway so might as well get you some other kind of exercise.

Cardio is the only exercise I find fun but I have incredibly high arches so it's not exactly easy to go for long runs. And bike machines are so boring. Guess I just need to go mountain biking more often

My arches are also increasing high and running becomes too painful to be enjoyable. But rowing is pretty nice.

The worst thing about lifting weights is that my buddy and I were super diligent about it for over two years, going three times a week and seeing great results. Then I got sick, he hurt his back (playing soccer) and then the holidays happened and now after three months away from the gym it's like we never did anything. Takes so long to build up and disappears so fast.

Scrimp and save and make a home gym in your living room or garage like me then you don't have to feel fatness shamed or jocky or whatever when you're trying to better yourself.

Bareknuckle boxing is way safer. If a competitive fighter hit their opponent's head as hard as they could with no gloves the bones in their hand would shatter. The gloves themselves aren't exactly lightweight either.

Squat racks are good for solo bench pressing. Prove me wrong. edit: My gym didn't have any machines for incline/decline seated press. I'd set up in the squat rack with an adjustable weight bench, set the safety catches and go to town.

I want to put people who don't re-rack their weights into re-education camps. And I want to just execute people who re-rack their weights, but mix them in with differing weights. WHY DO I HAVE TO REMOVE 35lb PLATES TO GET TO THE 5lb PLATE?!?!?!?

There exists a real danger as a fat person if you go to the free weights that one dozen perfect wrestlers will come over and immediately try to be your friend and help you find out how to become very strong. Do whatever strength training thing you have the most fun with, supplement it with lifts. I do dumb circus poo poo and climb rocks so that I can spidermonkey up walls and sneak through lasers like Catherine zeta Jones in entrapment for doing crimes and the revolution. Please Work Out

When you first begin eating right and lifting regularly the gains come very fast and are amazing. The dudes who've been doing it for a long time can only achieve small, incremental gains. So they get really happy when some skinny/fat non-lifting person shows an interest. They want to vicariously re-live their initial gains through you.
