Draegon (Liam P Boyle) Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 A bunch of my HEMA acquaintances were recommending this article, I thought it was really good, and I thought the folks here might appreciate it. http://boxwrestlefence.com/blog/2016/08/16/fat/ Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk Quote Race: Dragonborn Class: Druid/Monk The Journey to Force Mastery: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 __ The Legend The Struggle My MFP Profile My Strava Profile Link to comment
Thrillho Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 My coach was a fat little old dude that looked like a cuddly semi-irish Ewok. He was also probably one of the most effortlessly skilled people I've ever met. Grrr. 1 Quote The cancer was aggressive, but the chemotherapy was aggressive, as well.

Frost of the Gloaming Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 People need to realize that people are a*holes when it comes to body issues; I was constantly told that I needed to cut weight in wrestling because my weight didn't match my height even though I had a body fat level of <10%; which trying to make the team lead to anorexia which lead to other fun things (over training, not sleeping, generally being an asshole). Honestly I didn't start to feel healthy until I started sleeping and eating, I actually turned in a few good times during the track season; it wasn't until we started the summer wrestling camp when I didn't have to worry about weigh ins that I realized that a lot of things are just arbitrary numbers and really it all comes down to how you feel. 5'6 165lbs put me at 26.6 bmi which is overweight but with a <10% bf, so fuck the numbers; and right now I'm happier when I have a little bit of weight on me and really that's all that matters 1 Quote Between a rock and a hard place, use our finger nails to climb, it's all we know..........
