A friend of mine trains “traditionally” and has torn his acl and at least partially torn his shoulder. But he’s not on steroids. I actually don’t know anyone on steroids but most of the people I know who train have nagging shoulder and neck pain. I’ve heard conversations between people that train who talk about a time when they strained their neck/shoulder and how it’s never been the same since. I remember having that same pain myself when I used to train “traditionally” about 10 years ago. There are tons of memes about it. It’s not a thing that only people on steroids experience.
The point is, you can train explosively and get good results. Just understand that you are at increased risk for injury.
Regarding recovery, it’s based on genetics, nutrition, and rest. If you are getting the exact same amount of rest, and eating the same diet when training both ways, but still feel like you have more energy and strength during your BJJ sessions after training explosively, then the most rational explanation I can think of is that you still have some muscle fibers which haven’t been fatigued. That’s why I wonder if you are doing it correctly. Do you track reps and time under load?
Idk what oly lifters are. Regarding kettlebell exercises, I imagine these don’t get as heavy as other exercises like squats and bench press exercises.
I don’t think it’s something you can just isolate to one variable. More weight requires less volume. Less weight requires more volume. You can curl a 5 pound dumbbell with a ton of volume without hurting yourself.
“To live the best life you should have conversation with the dead.”
One example that comes to mind is Dorian Yates. He’s one of the best bodybuilders and he did high intensity training. But he did the reps too fast. He tore his bicep because of it.
It’s not about the speed of movement but the sequential recruitment of the muscle fibers.
They’ll probably get to the same strength but one of them will require more time and take on more injury risk.
Most bodybuilders complain about shoulder pain. They almost all have strained a shoulder and it just lingers in pain.
Your mind is always a limiting factor even with explosive reps. The number you choose is influenced by your unconscious mind.
Idk they just signed Adam Thielen they’re pretty desperate lmao
Explosive movements can give you results. The more aggressive you do it, the less activation of all your muscle fibers though. Slow and controlled will progressively recruit all four types of your twitch muscle fibers (progressively from slow to fast twitch muscle fibers). Fast and aggressive reps will activate the fast twitch muscle fibers which are the largest and skip the other twitch muscle fibers. This is why meatheads on steroids can still get super jacked by doing explosive lifting. So it can still work but you risk injuries and damage to joints/ligaments. The reason you may feel better doing explosive reps might be because you aren't fatiguing the slower twitch muscle fibers. So you may have more energy as a result and might feel stronger. It can work assuming you don't pull a muscle or strain something. But over time, the risks compound and then can create a setback. It's a trade off.
Die hard is not a Christmas movie lmao
Until some kid chokes on a home grown pepper and they make it illegal to grow any food without a permit 😂
That’s fucking genius 🤣
Shovel it and send it to the politician’s homes
It’s all shit. Some places are worse than others. But it’s still shit.
nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5 has gotten a lot better. I can see myself shifting all my Bitcoin podcast listening activity to Fountain very soon, if they keep improving.
They have gotten better but the feed downloads are still too slow. Sometimes it takes multiple days for me to see new podcast episodes added to my feed.
Odell posted a stat last week that said the poverty line is not $31k but actually $140k. Who do you know that is making $140k? I don’t even know households making that much. America is a 3rd world country now lmao
True. Progress. Friendship may be possible someday. 👀

The arguments too old I mean. It can’t still be appealing after all these bad years.
I wasn’t around during the ico stuff but I can imagine this shit seems too old
I agree which is why I think it’s important for us to put the blame back on them for making retarded decisions like trading xrp. At some point they have to look at their life and ask why they made such decisions. And if they never do that then why does it matter if they blame me or not?
Too much statism for that to ever happen so I won’t hold my breath lol
