Guyver posted:One of the best videos on the "just learn bjj for all the street fights you obviously get into" crap is the one where the bjj bro gets a guy in an arm bar on the ground and oops guy whips out a knife in his free hand and stabs bjj bro to death. BJJ is terrible for defense against knives. You want JJJ or HEMA for that, or a gun, or just run away like was said.

Dum Cumpster posted:Try starting with the bar in your fingers, not your hands, and use straps to save your hands if your still losing skin until your grip strength catches up. This helped me. Dead lift max now at 145 kg. Of course I slipped on ice yesterday and injured my knee. Doctor said it's not broken or ligament torn that she could see, but still putting weight on it hurts. Have to brace myself with my hands to get up from a sitting position. Oh well, gotta eat lots of christmas ham to make it better.

My knee is ok now, but I tweaked my back a bit, and also went on a cut. So, so far, 145 kg is still my max.

The men's changeroom and shower at my gym is at the rear end-end of a HIIT studio, and i often have to politely dodge through folks in the middle of a circuit. It's not ideal. This morning i successfully navigated through the class. While I'm changing to shower, a dude walks in as the HIIT class carries on in the background. He makes a comment about the class being too intense for him, and I remark about the exercise being good for a person. He says, " I dunno, if I wanted to get yelled at first thing in the morning, I'd have stayed home," and I couldn't help but tell him, "sounds like you might want to reevaluate your relationship, then." He's silent for a beat and says, "Yeah, that's what my parents say, too." I'm 41, and the guy isn't a young man, older than me, maybe by a generation. That was the first "complain about your spouse" comment from a stranger I've gotten in casual conversation. I know, conceptually, complaining about your spouse is a way that some people, primarily men, socialize by, but I never saw it in the wild. Made me realize I'm really lucky to be marrying my best friend. Anyhow I PR'd 225lbsx2 on the bench press today so that rules

Absolutely true. I'm in the best shape of my life and all I can think of is "how can I maintain five days in the gym plus karate plus a marriage plus a job plus plus plus" In the meantime, I'll take my wins where I can, hah.

Hell yeah Switched to almost exclusively using the trap bar for DLs after an injury last summer. I can still get a good hinge but I just don't feel like I'm compromising my lower back when I'm pushing my limits and form starts to break down a bit
