And don’t forget TUrkish getup, invented by grapplers in Middle East.
@twojarslave im surprised you saying my lifting is all weird but most of my lifts were invented by grapplers.
The origins are lifting is from grapplers who needed controlled environments eg lifting weights to get stronger in vulnerable positions. No benches or racks were there for them and that stuff wasn’t efficient because it’s not hard to unrack a weight. There is more carry over to stienborn squats, Arthur lifts and pullover and press to get stronger in grappling. If you think I’m talking nonsense than who’s George Hackenshmit, he’s a fighter wrestler who invented some of these lifts.
Your body always picks up weights from the front, but never from behind, opponents can end up behind you.
Zercher- carries over to picking a person off the ground, sandbags too.
He got out to settle a fender bender. That’s what normal people do. He or anyone else could not know the other men would get out of his car and flip. A common theme in your posts is putting onus on those being victimized.
Exactly. You never know.
More broadly to the judicious discussion points, I don’t know if I would’ve attacked the guy over a response to questioning loud music (which I fucking hate, as an aside), and standing up to turn the incident from a discussion to a physical confrontation (he threw the first punch) could be problematic.
Often times it seems juries are swayed emotionally. In this case the guy was stabbed repeatedly, and by a repeat violent criminal so they evidently sided with him but he technically started the fight IMO.
In Texas if someone pulled a knife the old adage “never bring a knife to a gunfight” would’ve likely applied.
I would personally be very nervous though.
Yes, he pulled a knife on me, and then I shot him to end the threat (and he died), but I confronted him and escalated. Even in gun friendly Texas this could go very wrong, due to optics.
I’ll never forget my licensing instructor years ago (when licensing was still a thing in Texas) told me to throw away my qualifying target and never post a pic on social media, because I shot too well. It would be a liability because they would ask the stupid ass question “why didn’t you just shoot the big toe” and center mass would potentially be considered overkill.
So I’m not being argumentative to the point in response to Cretin, these scenarios can turn very, very quickly (and this guy got punched by a man multiple times - in the face. Never mind a petite, 5’2” woman) but man that was a touchy scene.
Also a great advertisement for the law group, lol

How many head injuries do you have?
Holy shit man.
Aside from the fact that it was a response to Njord, your interpretation of this is just bizarre.

I stopped a carjacking of an old lady once, and didn’t think about how dumb it potentially was until it was over.
In hindsight, the guy either didnt have a weapon or I put him out before he could grab it. I didn’t check.
Leaving the scene I realized there was a decent chance I could’ve died that day. Over someone else’s car.
I was glad it turned out how it did, the police ultimately took him from me, but man. There’s strong and there’s dumb.
It was honestly dumb for me to do that.
Yeah. I’d have just changed seats. Provlem solved.

It was still a good deed.
For sure. An act without thinking moment and I was simultaneously proud of myself and a little inwardly sheepish given what could’ve been.
On one hand, had it been my mom I hope someone would intervene, on the other if I left my wife and daughter without me for someone else, was it worth it?

Ok. I’ll break it down for you.
Tall white guy took offense to black guys music.
Tall white guy punches black guy multiple times.
Black guy stabs the shit out of him.
White guy amazingly is framed as the victim of this situation even though he initiated violence.
So basically, everything you said is just imbecillic.
Technique, positioning and leverage are all superior to strength for picking people up though.

There’s probably a 160 lb accountant who has never lifted weights in his life waiting to hit a sucker double leg takedown on @Cretin78 if he ever wants to test his ideas out on the mats.

I used to just do a duck under to a throw on the big bruisers that would come charging with their dukes up. 
Worked every time!

Heres a thing you need to understand about moving bodies. Hip elevation.
Look at the difference here between short guy and big guy. Short guy- hips low. Big guy- hips high.
Now watch what hips low does to hips high.
Thats literally everything you need to know about throwing people. Drop your hips, grip & rip.
@twojarslave where did I ever say such a thing that my ideas would hold up against an experienced grappler when I don’t have mat time?
But there is a 160# account fighter who HAS been hitting the weights also out there who’s already as technical as your non lifting account who’s waiting to show him what he’s missing…………
That’s how it goes.
I simply said the origins of my lifts came from grapplers which you seem to be ignorant on that topic?
I don’t do those lifts for grappling, I do them for overall strength power and building.
But the origins came from grapplers.
You seem to compare modern day power style lifting strength when in fact those old grapplers didnt do the lifts that way.
And you are talking about your big 600 pound lift of whatever, well what can do for 100reps??? Twojar, 100reps relates more to a 3-minute round…….Twojar!!! 100reps of cleaning the bar first then squatting it, not having a rack to make it easy to get on the shoulders……Twojar!!!
It seems T3s lifting helps him, I bet he’d give some hard lessons to that 160# account being if their conditioning is close.
You are such a riot Twojar, with every topic I see you are like the forum expert, well, you THINK you are. Everyone can learn something, even me and I don’t need to be told that, but you have done and seen it all, there’s nothing else you need to learn, Twojar!!!
Is that Dave Soytista??

I don’t know? It occured to me that it might be him, but I don’t know what that dude looks like anymore.
Did he get a brazillian butt lift on his face or something?
Edit: He did say “Dave used to be a bouncer…” so, I think it might be.
Its just a clip I grabbed that illustrates an opponent from behind and how to use the hips.
You won’t see me in the steroid forum polluting a discussion with my non-ideas about how one should do steroids, because I have no experience with it. I’ve never competed in bodybuilding either, so you won’t see me offering my opinion on those discussions, either.
If I come across as an expert it is not because I am one, but because I tend to stick to writing about what I know.
Get help dude. Or just go take a grappling class and learn first hand.
He actually is fun to match wits with if you ever get any.
