Box stand sitting on a couple shooting lanes.
A light drizzle started up before shooting light as I poured a cup of coffee out the Stanley. Goodness that was a satisfying moment in the stand.
Rut is starting up. Young bucks harassing does, couple 2.5 year olds are starting to follow. No shooters on camera, hoping one of these does getting fat off the Athletix Soybean welfare program attracts a good one.

I’ve seen holds called on the opposite side of the LOS from where the ball is. I’ve seen them called 5 yards behind the ball carrier.
It’s rare.. idk why today I decided to argue over this. I’ve played and coached ball at a high level, I KNOW they’ll hold onto flags depending on moment and where it’s at on the field. Most calls are subjective, so I guess we can find the middle ground and say they let them play more depending on situation.
Are you saying that’s not how it should work or are you saying refs call every single hold/pi etc they see. I’ll answer for you. They don’t.

That’s not how it works
You can laugh boss, but they’ll absolutely hold onto flags for penalties that don’t matter and they should. There’s penalties and almost every play. Gotta call the ones that matter.

Meh they missed the call earlier on the hold for the TD that had Kirby going nuts. Not a big deal.
Lacy was getting the edge with the initial block the hold didn’t matter.
That Facemask absolutely mattered. May cost them the game

That’s a BAD no call. Others refs can make that call, not just the back judges. BAD
Genuine question for those confused. Y’all from Louisiana?
I LOVE real emotions! Your boy poured it out, that’s who he is. If he doesn’t fit into your perfectly scripted box, well you can FLIP right off!

Something else that piqued my interest: what are you thinking entering volleyball tournaments if you only work out 2-3 times a week?
Im in my prime bro. Volleyball tournament is easy activity. Or at least it should be
The knee injury/surgery has screwed me up pretty good. I waited about 4 months to do the surgery, and I was inactive during that time. Came back and have picked up more minor injuries on much lighter weights.
Butt wink for sure, always had it, and it never was a problem. I’ll clean up the technique on the squats or drop them until the lower back feels absolutely solid. I can’t live like this. Immobile and moving around like I’m in assisted living.

Thanks for all the info guys, gonna drop in to a local PT and go from there.
Strength exercises for the lower back? I never really gave it focus before. Between my normal routine my lower back got plenty work. I took about 8 months off with the knee injury and surgery, came back tweaked my back squatting. Took time off tweaked it again on hack squat. Took more time off than this most recent injury. I’m hoping to have a plan in place soon to rehab then strengthen.

Lower back pain - what to do next
Posted by Athletix on 10/12/25 at 12:46 pm
I'm in my mid-30s, in decent shape, and was exercising 2-3 times a week. Over the last year, I've strained my lower back muscles a couple of times. I had a knee surgery and pushed too hard and fast on leg exercises and "tweaked" my back a couple of times. I was pretty sure it was muscle issues, not the spine due to localized pain. I didn't experience any tingling or sharp shooting pains, just pain in the lower back muscles.
Fast forward to about 3 weeks ago at a volleyball tournament. I felt the familiar "tweak" while jumping, and played the rest of the day on it. I knew I was gonna hurt, but 3 weeks later I'm not better--I'm worse.
The lower back on the right side has a steady pain level of 2. When bending or putting the lower back under load, it's about a 6 or higher. The problem is, the pain is starting to travel. It's wrapping around my right hip and starting to hurt towards the butt as of this week. I'm losing mobility instead of recovering.
My job is a desk job, no heavy lifting required.
Next step? Go to a GP? Go straight to a PT? See a specialist (recommendations BR)?
Kinda freaking out, I'm active and healthy 95% of the time. This shite is hobbling me bad

re: Mass casualty shooting in Minneapolis at a church school 20 victims

Absolutely tragic - I pray that their deaths lead to changes that will save more lives in the future.
Our local school already has contacted and implemented an escort for the kids to and from mass, and for officers to stay detailed outside the church. Figuring most departments should be slow mid day/ early morning, this would be cheap for schools to get police departments to pick up the detail. Most departments would probably offer the service free of charge.

Bumping this to say his walk up song lights that fire in me every time. We live in a secular world that promotes and values everything that Christ is not. Money-fame-B*tches-me-me-me. To hear "Worship Christ with the best of your portions" blaring over the speakers as a walk up song is some good stuff for the soul. Ya boy is deep in the stands - hands raised - belting out each lyric - everytime.

re: The great washing machine debate: UPDATE: I gave up.
Posted by Athletix on 6/5/25 at 10:23 am to SlowFlowPro
Basic repairs on washers and dryers should be a must have skill for functioning men. Can you turn the water off? Can you unhook the hoses? Can you turn the washing machine on its side? If yes to all, here’s the hardest part. Can you YouTube and find similar issues with the model you have? If so >90% chance your issue could be fixed with basic tools and <30 minutes of work. Hardest part was unhooking everything and moving the appliance to a workable spot.
I’ve extended the life on my washer and dryer many years with basic repairs. Thanks YouTube and basic common sense

Love threads like this! Keep working at it - you’re doing something that is truly life changing in the best kind of way.
Thoughts on taking the next step - imo.
*Weigh yourself daily - get a good trend over weeks and months. Don’t let day to day or even week to week swings slow your momentum down. You’re knocking out the “low hanging fruit” and losing weight will be easy at your current weight. It will slow down and that’s ok. Trend it.
*Take pictures monthly - as stated above the dopamine hits of weight loss will go away. Take pictures because your body type will start changing as you build muscle, but the scale may trend flat.
*Eat more protein - .8 to 1g per pound of your desired weight. I used a simple rule to look at labels and decide if that food is worth me eating. For every 100 calories is there 10g of protein. 2000 calories - 200g of protein. Grab a bag of pasta serving size 200 calories and 6g of protein - it’s a no go, I’ll never hit my protein goals eating this. There’s an exception to this - fruits and veggies. I eat them as much and as often as I want.
*Eat all the *fresh fruits and vegetables you want. No processed or canned stuff (added sugar)
*Track calories - do it. This will show you more than anything the importance on food choice. After a couple weeks it’ll take next to no time tracking - and you’ll know without doubt why you are or aren’t seeing results. Tracking gave me more freedom and less chance of just giving up on my good eating habits because of 1 or 4 bad days. For example I eat pizza last week, and I knew I was going to. I went light on lunch and gave myself a 1000ish calorie cushion to absorb that dinner. I ate like 1800 calories of pizza. Yep - it was awesome and I overate my *target calories for the day. This took me from cutting 400 calories for the day to a surplus of 400, and it’s ok…. I had extra energy the next day to hit the weights and got a solid workout with added volume for all my lifts. A lot of people will give up after binge eating for a couple days. Track it. Then get back on the plan. All is not lost.
To me incorporating these things will take you from another fad diet fling to building a healthy lifestyle.
Edit to add one more important point.
*Track and progressively overload your lifts- it is very easy to underestimate your reps in reserve and get into the habit of pushing the same weight on bench press for example week after week. If you track, you can add a rep or 5 lbs or even a set. Don’t do cheat reps though. Good form - nice and controlled
Apps I like - MacroFactor for food tracking. Push for workout tracking
