Yeah you can pretty much go to a tournament any weekend anywhere you are in the US. Getting medals in BJJ competition is easy as poo poo unless you're competing at a really high level.

Yea, if you're an ultraheavy weight[220+], masters 2[35ish], white belt, in the middle of who knows indiana, yea you're gonna get a medal because chances are only two people may show up. If you're a middleweight [~181], Adult, Blue Belt in Atlanta, good luck, because you're gonna have to win like three matches to even have a shot at a medal let alone gold.

There's a BUNCH of gray area experimental poo poo that can cut that down to under a year, especially with the kinds of 24 hour on call physical therapy team he's gonna have to aggressively rehab it.

BPC-157 (a peptide derived from a naturally occurring gut protein) does some loving amazing poo poo, surgical incision from a pec reattachment completely closed in a week had to rip the stitches free after cutting them kind of poo poo. Wife had a pretty serious facial trauma, between the phenomenal on call face team surgeon and immediate BPC use there's no lasting nerve damage and a faint mobile scar left.

If you're immorally wealthy and able to train full time I'm sure you can pick off plenty of low level events. I wouldn't know because I fell firmly in your last category but I always managed to medal.

No worries, I love the forums for the very same reason! If you're into that subject, The Last Place On Earth by Roland Huntford is one of the best reads about that era of Antarctic exploration. It takes a very in depth look at the race between Scott and Amundsen but in a way that is immensely readable.

Crab Dad posted:220 is ultraheavy weight.... well, super heavy cuts off at 220, ultra is everyone above that, absolute is everyone who wants to show up. In grappling imo in terms of prestige, Black Belt Adult Absolute, Black Belt Masters[30 year olds and above] Absolute, then the various adult ranks at absolute, then the various masters ranks at absolute. Similar with no-gi where I'm more impressed if your bracket reads "Anyone who is hard enough have a go" rather than "anyone who is about my age, as big, and doing it about as long".

It takes a very in depth look at the race between Scott and Amundsen but in a way that is immensely readable. I also recommend Endurance: Shackletons Incredible Voyage about the failed Shackleton expendition. Ship sinks and they have to survive Antarctica and save themselves. Was a pretty good read. It also holds a special place to me because I read it to my then 1 year old at night for a bedtime story right after I got home from a deployment.

Good investigative piece from NYT about cumulative effects of firing 10,000 or more artillery rounds on several units sent to Syria to combat ISIS and how most of them got completely hosed by the system because they had huge issues afterwards but had zero medical or service record that their issues could be formally connected to so they were instead viewed as lazy or troubled or unreliable. tldr is that cumulative exposure to blasts really fucks people up and unsurprisingly in retrospect exposure to many, many thousands does a horrifying amount of damage. warning that it discusses multiple suicides and some genuinely horrific mental health struggles https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/05/us/us-army-marines-artillery-isis-pentagon.html It's also kind of interesting just as a window into another part of the war against ISIS which was generally incredibly opaque in how it was conducted. In particular the latter part of it that was focused on mopping up ISIS and especially the efforts wrt removing ISIS from Raqqa was rapidly memory holed because it's basically in no one's interest to go around remembering that or digging into the details of precisely how it was accomplished.
