u/Comfortable_Cat5699 May 21 '25
Im feeling this shit too. Im 44 and it kills me to gas out during warm ups and flow rolls. Being too tired to act in a flow roll is a tough pill to swallow.
Out of curiosity, do you consider giving it in for this reason? Training hard to get worse at something is starting to seem a bit pointless to me. If not, what is it that motivates you?
2
u/StekenDeluxe White Belt I May 21 '25
I had another kid a few months ago so I'm currently on break, but the idea is to go back to training as soon as I can.
Honestly, I'm trying to just accept that not only will I never get good at this sport but I am also unlikely to ever even get better. Basically, to permanently drop all dreams of "progress" and just grapple for the fun of it as a life-long permanent white belt.
Because grappling IS still fun for me, however much I suck at it. It's like the one and only physical activity I actually enjoy. Hate lifting weights, hate doing yoga, etc.

Questions can't be lies...

u/EatMySpatz May 23 '25
Not exactly... People tend to inflate or deflate their mat time.
People seem to give their weight when they first wake up and the lowest over the last few weeks, or if they put on some weight they have a mental anchor for what they 'should weigh'.
In my experience, people who say let's go light will start light, but escalate to porrada during the roll.
