Sorry to hear that @Mark Vandal

@Mark Vandal Aye but now you can think of your current physical state as a challenge to overcome. If there's one thing I've learned about IE guys, they love overcoming challenges.

challenges exist to be overcome

Using indoor resistance machine, which forces you to output a set wattage. If you pedal slower, the intensity automatically ramps up to maintain the same wattage output, you cannot rest, you cannot escape. Just like how 300 lbs in the gym is always 300 lbs, 300 watts is always 300 watts, no matter how fast or slow you go.

@Robtheroman where was that filmed?

17 months later, got blue.

@Deleted User Well done!

@shyguy you can take a selfie without making a bugman face

@Tanner - SC implying thats actually a picture of me

nuttin personal kid

You post a picture with no context, it’s misinterpreted, and you call me “kid”?

😎

I would love to learn the art of Swordsmanship but I'm not sure where to start. Is that actually a thing you can get lessons in now days?

I'm really glad that isn't you @shyguy

Thanks everyone!

@Warren H I would check out the hema channel on the server, and try to find an hema or sca group near you.

@Tanner - SC I think “kid” is just a turn of phrase that I’m hearing more and more again these days. Used to be popular around my way in the 90s, and isn’t demeaning or disrespectful.

@Warren H I enjoyed shinkendo.

Not many locations. The one in PA closed up when the teacher moved.

Ayyy Nebraska

>no Texas

"Nothing personal kid" is an internet meme

Example:

@everyone Hey! Bodybuilding.com has a lot of their supplements and powders buy one, get one half off.

tfw i just bought creatine today

@Jbieszczat1031#9679 Buddy all the supplements and powders I need are contained in O N I O N S

after not going to class or working out for a few months, I worked really hard at my martial arts class tonight and now my knees hurt

any advice beyond ice/heat?

called into work too so i can take it easy and not risk further damage since my job is 6 hours of walking

@Gaius Mucius Scaevola NSAIDs, Tylenol, Advil, etc. If it gets to a point that it impairs your ability to walk or specifically hurts around the back, go see a doctor. Your knees and ligaments in 'em aren't something to fuck around with.

the pain wasn't excrutiating, just very uncomfortable

didn't wanna fuck around and fuck them up for life

What motions seem to flare it up/make it hurt? @Gaius Mucius Scaevola Also, what motions/type of martial art were you practicing?
