Epsom salt bath. Use a lot of Epson salt like 2 or 3 cups at least. Make the water as hot as you can take it.. one hour. Feel like gumby climbing out of there.

Does /xs/ prefer step or strap on bindings? Do step ons work in deep powder?
I just gave away all my stuff. Three boards and bindings and all my gear. Too old now :(
I just moved to Alaska and I've been considering getting some skis to cross country up a mountain, then ski back down in the fall/winter. I was talking to a friend and he said I should just get a split snowboard instead to ski up and snowboard down. I've never even heard of a splitboard until now, I have no experience in snow sports. Do you think I should get cross country skis or a splitboard for someone beginner in snowsports but experienced in extreme sports/outdoors. How comfortable is a split board to cross country ski on compared to dedicated skis, because I imagine I will spend more time skiing up the slope than sliding down it
>>271223the big advantage of a split is that you're putting the weight of your board on your feet rather than on your back, which makes a huge difference if you have a 10+ hour hike to deal with. the downside is that splits are just kind of inherrently shittier to ride than a normal snowboard albeit this is generally not a big deal since you only ride them in the best conditions but it does make the price sting abit more because you probably wont want it to be your day to day board.>I imagine I will spend more time skiing up the slope than sliding down ityou can get lucky more often than you might think and cruise most of your return trip without going back to skis
>>271223verts and drift boards are also good options but all three have different upsides and downsides depending on what you intend to do
I have over 50 days on my Nidecker Index liners. I plan to do another 50 days this season. I don't think they're busted yet, but I have the opportunity to go to a shop that sells and heat molds Intuition liners this December. Very few shops here offer Intuition liners and most of them are way out there in other ski resort towns. Anyone here with experience to share?
1) how can i get the best outta my fist ? seems like i can't get "the force of my whole body" or "start from my legs" to land a great shot2) I'm 20 y.o is it too late to start wrestling ?
Do you have places that offer adult classes? If so 20 is fine. I tried in my 30s and survived
>>271046You are probably misunderstanding some body mechanics and/or isn't properly activating some muscles required in certain positions
>>2710461. Fight for good positioning, move your feet, and use your hips. Get them off balance or reacting a certain way via a feint or setup before shooting2. No, most likely you can start BJJ and may have some luck with a gym that offers a few wrestling classes a week. It will probably be more common to find wrestling classes if you join an MMA gym though, but it depends on what you want to prioritize. You may be able to find a wrestling club, such as a USA Wrestling one if you are in the US, where you can practice freestyle or greco. At your age if you are in college you might be able to join a campus wrestling club or even the school's team if it's something like a D3 NCAA or NAIA team where you could walk on.

This is even worse than watching sumo on midnightsumo.Don't be a stranger. Just hit me with your best tachiai. I'm pretty much perfect. I'm Yokozuna, and my uncle is Asashoryu. What sports do you play, other than "jack off to naked drawn Japanese people"? I also get straight rest basho, and have a banging hot girlfriend (She just blew me; Shit was SO cash).

What's the best belt system out there?
>>265516The middle colors mark instructors-in-training who can help teach the white belts. They also help in e.g. judo where the colored belts know they can throw each other safely but should make sure the white belt actually knows breakfalls well enough before yeeting him.
the japs and russians just have white brown and black

You can go to any karate video on youtube and be guaranteed to find at least one unhinged seething commenter saying some variation of>grrrr this shit sucks and would never work in a real fight. The only striking martial art that works is muay thaiAnd they're never by thais. It's almost always an american or a britbong actively seeking out and losing their shit at karate. Makes me wonder just how many americans were molested by Sensei Bob from the strip mall dojo in the 80s. That's the only explanation I can come up with for phenomenon.

What is the best martial art if you are normal sized (5'11/6 foot) but physically weak (110 pounds)? Those are my stats.Eskrima sounds nice but you can't carry sticks or knives around with you like an fighting game character.
>>240453>>t. 110 5’7 manletgay ahh twink build
>>239977Why the fuck are people unironically recommending krav maga? Are we fucking serious right now? Best martial art you could do is MMA, but OP in particular needs to gain weight. OP, you can start whatever martial art you want, but if you don't gain a lot of weight and a lot of muscle it's not going to matter, you're going to get rekt. Martial arts are a physical pursuit. Godspeed.
>>239977>>239982git gud and it won't matter what style or who is your opponent. At worst you will be 50/50 with an opponent who also got gud.
>>239977The arguable goat of muay thai was a turbo lanklet like yourself. Head towards your nearest muay thai gym and aim for sky piercing knees.
>>239977Honestly I'd work on the physically weak part first.And don't forget the cardio.But Wing Chun might be what you want.You don't have to be strong to do it, and I think it provides a good foundation.I think the real answer is the one you enjoy.
Just copped an electric board. What am I in for?
>>264282I'm afraid somebody is going to ask to ride it and then just steal it from me so I'm going to have to awkwardly say no to people or just ignore them
>>264060Some long shred sessions!And by shred sessions, I mean rough, gay, anal sex.
>>264060return it and get a bike. this shit is just autistic af. At least get one of those electronic bikes
>>264567It literally just got here today. I thought about the electric bike because it goes 10 mph faster but it costs $1,000 more so I decided not to. Just got home and put it on the charger right now, will let you know how it rides in a few hours if anyone cares lol
>>264568seems like a cool invention to mewhy not?and why care at all what the bell curve thinks
Started Judo about a month ago and I've been really struggling desu, more so than I feel I should. I'm not out of shape either, I have some of the best cardio in the whole class. It's just that the level of athleticism required for judo is much higher than I anticipated, and I feel I seriously lack the coordination and flexibility to properly execute many of the throws (I've yet to get one legitimately clean throw yet desu). Would BJJ be better for a guy like me? I've only done ne waza like twice but the times I have done it I felt it came much more naturally to me than the other aspects of judo.
>>267125The quotes were so stupid that I thought they might be fake. So I looked them up to see if he even actually said that ridiculous shit and turns out he did. Having said that, the level of insecurity completely checks out for BJJ.
>>261550Just wait till you try to get out of closed guard or pass guard against a blue belt or higher. You will be just as bad as you are now.>>261627You really have to be proactive and not worry about hurting yourself.>>261959As someone that does both Judo is several times harder. Throws hurt even if you breakfall, it's easier to get hurt and trying to drag someone across the mat and throw them is harder than passing guard and sitting on them.
>>265977basically no bjj classes cover much or any takedowns. It's an extra liability it's much harder to drill into people casually.
>>267038Just show up, judo is designed to get you in shape. A judo instructor told me that he's had parents drop off teenagers who needed to be coached through the movement of a situp because they had really been that completely sedentary up until that point and lacked the coordination for that simple movement. If you manage to clear that bar you'll be fine to start.
>>261550There's no way they're teaching you the shit that takes athleticism in the first month as a raw beginner. You're not flipping through the air back onto your feet, doing double-counters, and doing shi-ai paced snapdowns. A black belt in BJJ and a year in judo tells me that 99% I think you just don't know judo very well yet. It's not supposed to come naturally to you; it's a sport and it contains unnatural feeling movements. Either one will make you into a fine martial artist, but if you keep switching around when it gets difficult instead of letting it mold you then you're going to be mediocre in both and everything else in your life until you can focus.
Is in board any freediver/spearfisher constantly doing solo diving? Personally, I don't go more than 7 meters while solo diving. What do you guys do for safety (shallow-water blackout, nets) while soloing, and do you have any recommendations?
>>266634I always go spearfish solo as I struggle to find people available. Best advice is simply not to go alone obviously, look up forums, Facebook groups etc. If anything happens, you are going to die, no way around it.Know your limits and never overdo it, and most importantly, do NOT hyperventilate before a dive (rapidly breathing in and out), this will delay your physiological response to CO2 and may result in a blackout. Simply take a few deep breaths, exhaling more air than you inhale.Lastly, I suggest you buy a dive watch, I got a used Mares Smart apnea for 80 euros this summer, it's great, tells you depth, temperature, dive time etc, it helps you track your performance and know where your limit is.And bring a knife and signalling buoy, the latter is mandatory here and should be everywhere, every year you get people killed by boats.
Hey fellas, so yeahI’m 32, I’ve been training MMA for almost 3 years, usually 5 days a week, and it’s become a pretty central part of my life. I’m supposed to compete for the first time in November.A week ago I injured my foot during sparring. It’s the first serious injury I’ve had, and an X-ray showed a small fracture in my 3rd metatarsal. Luckily it seems stable, and the pain is getting better every day. I can walk for 10-15 minutes, but I’m still sidelined for a few weeks.What makes it especially frustrating is that I feel like I had finally reached a point where I was becoming one of the more competitive and technical guys at my gym. I started out pretty terrible, so seeing that progress over almost 3 years has meant a lot to me I’m not just worried about losing my fitness, but also losing some of that momentum and technique I worked so hard to build.I’m going to use the downtime to focus on my career in video production, but I’m struggling more mentally with being unable to train than I expected.For those of you who’ve had to take time off MMA/BJJ/boxing because of an injury, how did you deal with it mentally, and what did you do to maintain your conditioning and skills without making the injury worse? I can't deny a part of me just says "fuck it just wait another week and train like this" but I’m trying not to turn a few weeks off into a much longer injury because I got impatient.
>>268317>Looks like someone got outplayed too many times and knows he can never git gud at anything
>>267760You can probably still get s&c in. I had an avulsion fracture and I could still squat but I stopped when I realized how compromised my stance was, didn't stop low impact cardio on the bike or any upper body lifting though. Not sure how different metatarsal breaks are but I can relate to the mental pain of having a bum foot. You can probably still stretch pretty thoroughly too
>>267760rub comfrey onto your foot and make surethe nutrition you eat is up to parlentils, pumpkins, turmeric + fresh black pepperthose help somelook into comfrey and if you dont have that aroundor cant get it in time then look in your yard forplantain. they are incredible plants
also nettles urtication and cayenne both helpwith nerve signal modulation
>>267760Vitamin D3 + K2 (10k iu / day)K2 sequesters calcium, and makes the Vit D bioavailable. Master immune nutrient + more harder bones. Magnesium wouldn't hurt for sleep/recovery either. Whatever the injury, you can probably exert yourself more while swimming. And if it isn't a leg or back thing, LIGHT ruck marches are good for holistic endurance training.
Mountain Biking General Guess we should make a new if any of the regular anons still want to post about mtbing and haven't fucked off completely from this website. Spring-time in the NH so I guess those that don't bother riding in the winter will be getting back out now.
>>267187>I wanted to sit further back on it.this is likely a fitness and skill issue. you're too far back on that and as you make progress and try harder features it's going to throw you otb because of that at some point.
Perhaps youre right. I could try removing the seatpost dropback and just change my posture.. its just after it got this bike my ass kept hanging off the back of the seat. Its as though thats where my legs were in the most neutral position. Perhaps its just my shape. I dunno. For whatever reason the bike fits me OK now with the seat moved back. I also have a really sweet polygon Entiat TR8 hardtail. Its a bike from 2019 so its long been since discontinued. Its a plus tire. 3.0" wide w/ 27.5" wheel. I love that bike.. now with that one I didnt feel the need to tweak it. I get a really good fit on polygon bikes right out of the box. Though, its sad that its seen a lot less love since I got GT full sus. Im yearning to take it back out for some rides. It climbes like a breeze. The plus tire allows some seriously low psi. I can usually run 14 to 16 psi on those plus tires. Oodles of grip. Currently, the seat isnt tightened and it has a 60mm stem on it that doesn't work well but im maybe gonna tune it up and put its original stem back on..
Thought I’d post a couple of pics from today’s ride. t. On me hols
