man i've been watching Ali lately and he's on another level. He re-signed with tna and said it's cause they actually listen to him. you can tell too, everything feels tighter now. He defended the international title against that wwe id Kid Chazz hall this week. good match. Ali even said he wants to fight people from different countries. already beat a guy from Australia, wants to do one in france. Order 4 is backing him up and it just works. He doesn't just want to win, wants to embarrass people, that's the best Ali.

you leave a ten pin and suddenly everyone on the pair is watching. some people flatten their wrist and throw it straight, some hook into it from the left side, some just roll it up the middle and hope it kicks. nobody agrees on the right way. even worse is when you change your release just for the spare and then you can't get your strike ball back for two frames. It feels like the ten pin is just there to ruin your rhythm.

I saw someone mention the capistrano flip the other day and went down a rabbit hole. apparently you can flip a swamped canoe upright and empty most of the water out in one motion. you lift one gunwale up, break the suction, then just throw the whole thing over . sounds simple right? tried it in calm water last weekend and almost knocked myself out with my own canoe. The thing flipped but landed sideways and i ended up with water in my face anyway plus by the time i got it upright i was so tired i couldn't even climb back in.

i've been wrestling for a few months now and i keep getting bullied by guys who aren't even more skilled than me. They're just way stronger. I can get to a leg or get an underhook but then they just stand up or rip their arm free like i'm not even there. my technique feels right but my strength can't keep up. I heard that rope climbing is the best thing for grip strength. I've been doing 5x5 for a few weeks but honestly it hasn't helped much on the mat yet. maybe i need more explosive work.

I've been rowing for a few months now and I need to get stronger off the water. I've been doing some squats and deadlifts but not sure if i'm focusing on the right stuff. also heard that core strength is huge for rowing because it connects your legs to your arms. I've also been trying planks and russian twists but my lower back gets sore after. anyone have a simple workout routine that actually helped them get faster on the water

you can now raise the ball immediately on a free hit. push, flick, or scoop. no more waiting for it to roll five meters first, that's huge. took them long enough. The old rule where you had to tap it and hope no one ran into you was always a mess. this feels way more modern but here's the thing, the new rule still says you can't raise it intentionally using a hit. only push, flick, or scoop. So no slap shots into people's faces. The own goal rule changed too, if a defender touches it in the circle and it goes in, that's a goal now, even if the attacker didn't touch it. Its gonna be some weird goals this season.

you know that guy on your team, the one who gets the puck in his own zone and just holds onto it. Skates behind the net, skates up the wall. circles back behind the net again. meanwhile the forwards are just standing at the blue line watching. By the time he finally tries to pass the whole other team is already in position, turnover. odd man rush the other way and then he wonders why nobody is open. every team has one.

I think Solomon slands could cause problems. They've been solid at the oceania level for a while now and nobody really knows what to expect from them. Teams from that region always play with nothing to lose. also group a in the women's draw is wide open. Senegal will have the home crowd but Colombia and Ukraine are both solid. Ukraine has that European technical style. Colombia is physical. Fiji is probably the odd one out but you never know with these youth tournaments.

Niccolò Pisilli won the Rising Star of the Month award for May and honestly it's well deserved. The midfielder has been on fire lately, he had a goal and an assist against Fiorentina and then delivered the corner that led to Mancini's header in the derby, that's a big game player right there. Luigi De Siervo called him another great talent from Roma's youth system and said he's a true modern midfielder with grit, dynamism and an eye for goal . High praise but he's earned it, 4 goals and 4 assists on the season now for the homegrown kid .

just checked the scores from last night and Avs went into Minnesota and won 5-2, they're up 3-1 in the series now. One more win and they're in the conference final. MacKinnon took a puck to the face and still came back and scored. dude is just different also Anaheim tied their series with Vegas 2-2 after a 4-3 win at home, they were down and came back in the third, huge win for them . Mitch is still leading the playoffs in points though. had three assists in the loss. that guy is carrying the knights right now.

I saw the announcement, the A's broadcaster is gonna be a guest commentator for the sacramento street fight that's random as hell. Fourth generation mlb voice just shows up in a wrestling booth. He said he's bringing a baseball bat for protection lol, calls himself a longtime wrestling fan and shouted out Nic Nemeth. Street fight is AJ Francis vs KC Navarro so it's gonna be a brawl. A's are terrible this year anyway so maybe he just wanted to do something fun.

Lakers got swept and now everyone's guessing. Lebron said after the game he doesn't even know what's next and needs to talk to his family first. Some reporters are saying the lakers want to build around Luka and might ask Lebron to take less money if he stays. Austin Reaves said he hopes he comes back but that's just him being nice. Byron Scott said on his podcast that Lebron should go back to Cleveland or try to play with Steph. Warriors are still interested apparently. Personally I don't think he retires, dude still averaged 21 and 7 this season and carried them past Houston when everyone else was hurt. I feels like he's got one more run left.

The raw from last night was crazy and I'm still processing. Roman beats Fatu at Backlash and you think maybe that's the end for now, nope. Fatu shows up at the acknowledgment ceremony and just destroys everyone, chair shots didn't matter, superman punches? shrugged them off powerbomb through the announce table, tongan death grip multiple times then after they finally pull him off he comes back and hip attacks the whole bloodline through the barricade. The dude is booked like the fiend at this point, unbeatable until he's suddenly not. The Usos looked like total chumps just lying there the whole time.

There's a guy at my gym who is always moving, like never stands still even for a second constantly bouncing, circling, snapping, faking. By the time I figure out what he's doing he's already taking my back or throwing me. if I try to match his pace I gas out in two minutes. if I try to slow him down he just keeps moving. coach says to control the grips and make him carry my weight but he just shakes his arms loose. any strategy for dealing with someone who just never stops, also how do you force a pace that works for you instead of playing their game.

Did the math on what we've spent on club fees, travel, hotels, tournaments, and private training over the last few years. It's more than a year of college tuition at a state school. We're not rich, both of us work full time and we've made sacrifices, skipped vacations, drove old cars, ate at home a lot. Now my daughter is committed to a d1 school but only got a partial scholarship. Still going to be paying thousands out of pocket and i see families at tournaments flying to showcases in Florida and California like it's nothing. Are people just going into debt for this or do they actually have that much money. Also how do you tell your kid to keep grinding when you're already stretched thin. Feeling like we're in too deep to stop but not sure how much longer we can keep going.

every time I start to set up an attack, the guy just backs up, all the way down the strip. I end up chasing him for like fifteen seconds, get tired, and then he suddenly stops and scores on me when I'm out of position. It feels like I'm fencing a moving target instead of an actual opponent. My buddies just tell me to just hold my ground and make him come to me but then the ref calls passivity on both of us. anyone have a way to trap someone who refuses to engage.

i'm honestly stunned. El Torkey is at his first ever worlds and he just took out the number 6 seed in straight games, didn't even look close. Kid is 21 and playing like he's been here before. On the women's side Melissa Alves did something even wilder. She's ranked 20th and she beat the 7th seed in straight games too. That's a huge upset two massive upsets on the same day in the same tournament. Gotta love it when the lower ranked players just show up and take out the favorites.

What's the deal with those gloves ,, kept seeing players in my league wearing those gloves with the little sticky dots on the palm. Some of them swear by it, say they never drop a ball anymore even with sweaty hands, others say it's cheating because the ball doesn't move like it's supposed to. I tried a cheap pair once and felt like I couldn't release the ball cleanly on my passes, everything stuck to my hand. Maybe I just got a bad brand. anyone found a pair that actually helps without messing up your touch.

rewatched Ryuji Ito vs Takashi Sasaki from 2005 I guess. Seconds in and both guys are bleeding from tubes shattered over their heads, broken glass everywhere, suplexes and powerbombs on it like it was nothing. Sasaki's back and arms were shredded by the end. You don't see stuff like this anymore.
