That’s the question

I was loadmaxxing for a while and it definitely worked (at least doubled) but I noticed that the bigger it got the harder it was to hold in during sex.

Like as soon as I got in my wife I could feel it coming up. I started doing more kegels which helped a little bit. Eventually I quit and I’m back to normal fucking, which is to say I can hold it as long as I chills breathe.

Am I the only one?

Good morning - my wife recent filed Ch7. She had her 341 last week and everything went fine.

As the non-filing spouse, I have a credit card with a balance of ~$6500, all of which was community debt from pre-filing.

Our attorney has recommended I just don’t pay this since they cannot collect on it. I’m unsure about this because it seems sure to destroy my credit score. Maybe they cannot collect per se but they certainly can report it as late and eventually charged off.

He said they may also just close the account based on risk but they have not done that yet.

My inclination is to at least pay the minimum payment for now to keep it current and eventually pay it all off to zero if it doesnt get closed.

What would you do?

My HS glove is finally worn enough to replace and both my boys are deep in baseball now.

I don’t play in games but I play a lot of catch and coach as well.

I like the GG Elite - looks like a good mix of price and quality. My 13yo just got an A500 and it’s surprisingly nice for the money but those are youth sizes only. the A1000 is maybe too much glove for me?

44 Pro look nice too. what do you think? any deals out there right now?

Thanks

EDIT: I bought a 44 Pro custom bc the 25% of code was too good to pass up. Will ship in 5-6 weeks. Thanks gange.

Hey gang - my 12yo (LL 13) son has played two years of organized ball (rec only so far). He made his intermediate all-star team this year which is great. I'm very proud of him. He's worked hard to catch up with the other kids.

He's very athletic, very fast, and is excellent in the OF. The thing is he hits with very little power. He has good plate discipline and walks a lot, gets OB from errors, and occasionally puts one through a gap in the air, but most of his hits are weak grounders.

Part of this is partially that he's very small for his age, maybe like 4' 8" 80lbs? - the smallest kid on his team and in the league by a lot.

We've been working a lot on his swing and correcting some obvious mistakes but there's still something missing. I see small kids hit with way more power.

I also wonder if there's something going on between his tee/cage swing and his swings in game. When we're practicing he seems to be hitting pretty hard but in games his contact is often very weak. Even when we're practicing I have to remind him to hit with killer instinct - like put as much mass and torque into it as possible and the change is dramatic when he chooses to fully engage his available power.

So I don't really know what do about this. I know it kind of bums him out that he doesn't hit harder. I'm considering just rebuilding his swing from scratch. He still has some bad habits and quirks that he sort of developed on his own during his first year. I tried gently to coach him out of them but I didn't want to put to much pressure on him while he was still feeling things out.

Can you recommend a program that starts with the basics and works forward? Something we can follow for 4-8 weeks in the offseason? Also considering hiring a coach but want to take one last crack at it before I turn it over to a professional.

Really, putting on 6" and 50lbs would help a lot but that isn't going to happen before next season starts. I'm planning on getting him on some light strength training this summer as well.

Next year he moves up to the full size field and I'm afraid he'll be cooked if he can't start hitting with more power.

I played HS and was always a good hitter but I was bigger for my age and I always went to the plate looking to do maximum damage and he doesn't quite have that in him yet. I don't know what to do here.

My 12yo (almost 13yo) son made our league’s intermediate all-star team this year. I’m so proud of him. He had a good season and definitely earned it.

He’s super fast and a demon in the outfield and on the bases but he’s super small for his age and is kind of a weak hitter although contact is good.

For reference he’s 4’ 8” and maybe 70lbs.

He’s currently swinging a 28” -10 2025 Hype and despite his size I think it’s a little small. It looks like he swings hard but I think it lacks the inertial mass to send the ball farther.

Im thinking he should move up to something like a 30” -8.

What do you think? I realize it’s a physics calculation that I’m not qualified to make. Heavier bat = slower bat speed but greater mass. Where’s the trade off?

He definitely has to move up next year because after Juniors he’ll be in high school and will have to use BBCOR.

Real quick - I’m an AC on my son’s intermediate team and we’re playing in our championship at 3 today.

Our manager is on call for his job and may miss the game.

Our SP is a very talented kid, big 13yo that throws mid-70s to low 80s. Sometimes he can go the distance but sometimes he’s off and gets rattled.

If the manager is away and I have to step in, what’s the best thing to say to this kid during a mound visit to help him get re-aligned, in the event that things take a turn?

I‘m planning to have a good pregame chat with him. What else can I do?

Thanks

I know this has been asked before so forgive me.

I’ve been doing daily creatine for 10+ years and it’s always been very good to me. never understood the complaints about water and bloating.

Then sometime in the last year it’s turned on me and I don’t know exactly why. when I take it, 12 hours later I’m having insane diarrhea.

I’ve tried changing diet, removing trigger foods etc, and nothing helps until I stop the creatine, and the diarrhea always matches the timing.

I’ve tried HCL and Mono and it’s the same. I’ve tried splitting the dose which doesn’t help. Taking it at lunch with food does help but it still bloats tf out of me.

Sucks because otherwise I love it and have for a long time.

Any ideas? Is there another form that is easier on digestion? Take it with digestive enzymes? Gummies instead of powder?

Maybe it’s just time to move on.
