This x100!

I was teaching a class on Tuesday using Silva as an example - although technically proficient (and then some) his real skill is his use of "fighting measure". No one I have EVER seen controls distance as well. He seems to time it to within a literal hairs breadth.

GOAT bar none IMO

He is a genius with his timing/spacial-awareness.

I YouTubed Badr Hari and the first video I watched was Overeem outstriking him. I can't say it's the best first impression.

The field, however, has seen a lot of changing and conflicting pieces of data in recent years, and what is really needed is a large prospective study.

However, Gezere's implication that testosterone use has no health consequences is BS. It definitely causes hypogonadism in young males, which can lead to the need for TRT later in life. Whether that also has further health consequences is the medical question, and since it's not decided, I generally try and avoid taking something where the long-term consequences are so vague, when possible.

Jason, I said no such thing.

Based on what?
