FUCK! just watched curry potentially wreck his knee.. he's probably ok but he slipped really bad and you saw his knee cave in medially. He limped off the court..

i dno, looked somewhat bad.

someone fell down, with their sweat on the court. a few seconds later curry tries to stop fast and slides on it.

:(

Boxing / GGG vs Wade, Chocolatito vs Arroyo
« on: April 24, 2016, 03:07:13 am »
easy work for GGG. Amazing how bad he crushed Wade's confidence by the end of the 2nd round (and fight). Wade looked ruined. GGG power = nuts.

Hope he keeps calling out PBF, that's the fight i'd love to see. ;f If not, canelo vs GGG will be decent. Canelo should KO Khan.

As for chocolatito, not the best performance.. but man he is a machine. He's just non stop. I'd like to see him vs a crazy skilled counter puncher/defensive boxer with power.. Everyone i've seen him fight is pretty much tailor made for him. He's a damn machine though, unreal how he just keeps coming, doesn't really look fatigued at all, and throws non stop.

well I just saw my first "UFO". weird unidentifiable flying object, not in the alien sense.

so i'm outside late chucking dog toys around.. sky is very clear, can see stars/constellations very easily.. so I notice some "dark red" light moving far off, it wasn't going super fast but it was definitely moving.. The light also didn't blink. so i'm watching it for a minute or so cross the sky, expecting it to eventually look more like a plane at night, and then poof, gone.

I kept looking for it to re-appear, for basically 15 minutes.. nothing.

wrecked toe bros  :highfive:

ya.. 4 black/destroyed toenails, ingrown toenail on left big toe, old left pinky toe which was completely dislocated and now barely moves correctly.. lol

and you got that toe arfritis.

this shit hurts so fucking bad.. HEH.

 :raging:

i had to have surgery on my left big toe in high school because i lost the nail after ripping a chunk off the front, and when the nail grew back it got super infected and produced a huge amount of scar tissue. it was gnarly.

eek. how'd you tear a chunk out?

nail feels sooooooo much better today. but i think there's still a very small portion under the skin. if so, it'll get painful as it grows and eventually i'll need to see a foot doc.


What's up with the toe nails, I don't get it. It's something people have trouble with once they start running or what?

kinda..

black toenails are common among runners, it's basically a dead toenail. usually happens when you wear shoes that are too small, but you can get them regardless if you do a ton of volume.

ingrown toenails can affect anyone. but runners & people in sprint-like/jumping sports are at an even higher risk apparently. During a foot strike, the nail can crush through the skin on the side. That is what happened to me. My toenails were just a little bit grown out, I was planning to clip them but kept forgetting. Somehow during my jumping a few days ago, the nail went through the skin near the side/base.

I tried to just code-rip the instagram mod real fast, and modify it for streamable.. it should work but it's breaking. Since I don't have a dev environment setup for this forum, i'll figure it out later tonight.

I should be able to get it working, doesn't make much sense that it's breaking.

5'9 Chen Dengxing might be the highest Asian jumper in the world when it comes to dunking.

clicked on a related video of him, surprised to see he got up just as good off of two legs. that's very rare.

I just (kinda) tried to fix my ingrown toenail myself.

Sometimes I just don't get what goes on in my head. I'm my own worst enemy.

I temporarily made things better, by getting it out of there.. it wasn't much. My toe does feel waaay better right now. Put hydrogen peroxide on it, now soaking it for the 4th time since yesterday. I could tell it was definitely ingrown because I used tweezers to pull up on the edge where the pain is, and i'd see the skin pop up too. So it was under there. So i slowly trimmed away at it with some sharp tweezers and got it out.

I bet i'll still need to see a pro though.. probably cut my toenail wrong, or several other things, that'll cause this to become a chronic issue.

I guess I just dwell hard on injuries. You'd think by now, over my life span of soo many injuries, that i'd be able to handle them better.. It's actually the opposite.

I figured i'd try to do it myself because if I go to a podiatrist, they are going to go to town on my toenail(s). So if I made sure to avoid any pain and just go really slow, I couldn't do TOO MUCH damage (presumably).

bleh.

also, ultra marathonners are fucking nuts man:

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/22/fashion/22FITNESS.html

getting their toenails removed..  :o

Quote
Ultramarathoners, who number more than 17,000 nationwide, according to UltraRunning magazine — “appear crazy sometimes, but they are great strategists,” said Dr. Robert M. Conenello, a sports podiatrist who tended to contestants of a multiday race in the Sahara. “A lot of them look at their toenails as useless appendages, remnants of claws from evolutionary times long ago. I’ve heard them say, ‘Toenails are dead weight.’

they have a point..

I don't consider any of my wrecked (4 black, 1 ingrown) toenails a badge of honor. I absolutely hate it. I've also wrecked my toenails when dunking and when I was younger playing basketball, so it's not something i've only obtained from running. I still remember the first time I got black toenails .. got them after wearing my new iverson's and playing several games at the park:





i loved those shoes. ;f

Sounds great, thanks for the detailed response. Here's one maybe weird question - I have dental work done, pretty significant - I'm kind of weary to, you know, expose myself to taking punches in my mouth/face, even light ones could do serious damage. How much does that mouth piece protect you? I mean if my dental piece detaches, even a little, it could be a catastrophe.

np

well I have a chipped tooth in the front, which i had fixed. I had a simple mouth piece and it protected it from getting cracked. I thought about it at times, wondering if it would ever crack, never happened. I sparred hard alot, ~3x/wk for a little over a year. So I took my fair share of punches.

you can get some pretty serious mouth pieces, I imagine they would protect whatever you have to a high degree. You rarely see broken jaws and basically never see broken teeth in professional boxing matches, and they hit with much lighter gloves (8-12 oz).

there's always a risk though.

part of slowly progressing is learning how to bite down on your mouth piece when you're punching and/or receiving punches.

here's normal head gear:



hard gear with cushioning around the face probably helps more:
