  • if you are looking for volume, research bodybuilding - its a specific approach. strength training is also different. what you are likely experiencing is endurance (muscle/cardio/etc) training in addition to the skill bumps.

    fat wont hold back muscle gain, but it will hide it. good news is that as you more build muscle, you burn more calories. less mass means better cardio, which builds muscle endurance.

    good luck with the boxing! its a fantastic martial art.







  • But hit the gym guys. Be ready.

    absolutely!

    • learn to jab and cross (sometimes its all you need. seriously!)
    • learn a little takedown defense
    • get comfortable in a ground scramble to get upright fast
    • quality muay thai is fantastic for standup and a quick learn for mid/close range striking
    • bjj if you have time (of limited use outside of pure one on one, but good bjj is personal development rocket fuel)
    • learn a firearm if thats your vibe

    no heros needed, but intelligently help to defend youself and your fam as best as you can.





  • “You grew up in South Africa,” Lara Trump, Trump’s daughter-in-law and Fox News host, said in the new interview. “You lived during a period of Apartheid. I’m sure you’ve seen a lot of horrific things. So to be called a Nazi by people, to be made out to be this monster, that must be really hard for you.”

    motherf*cker, you and your ilk were the oppressors. everything pre and post indicates that it was perfectly fine with you and yours. “white” washing at its finest. now, gtfo!





  • what I see so far is a lot of signalling - and thats important for base support. the talk gets refined for palatability to a wider audience as time passes.

    if he stakes out fIrmly articulated progressive positions then I might get slightly interested. until then, he’s just another billionaire that should not exist, rhetoric be damned. gonna take a whole lot to shake the triangulating politico smell.

    we dont need a hero. we need a movement directing a leader.

    edit: anyone able to give some constituancy specific info?


  • I hate to say “I told you so,” but AOC very obviously should have been tapped for this position from the start. It shouldn’t have taken a 75-year-old man receiving a second cancer diagnosis for the party to see that. But at the very least, Democrats now have a second chance to do the right thing—the smart thing, the thing that people who actually want to win would do…

    embrace the hate. I sure as hell do everytime some geriatric dnc cryptkeeper dribbles out another excuse as to why the party has not pushed the next generation forward.

    best make sure the yunguns are put forward with the supporting collective knowledge of the dnc corpses still able to gurgle out historical advice and experience. whatever happens, those who will inherit this mess will need to consider options and make the decisions from now on.
