Thoughts on Krav Maga?

For those not in the know - Israeli "martial art" developed for the IDF in the late 1940s. Obviously the Jews thought "we don't want *that* happening again" and developed a hand-to-hand combat style that is brutal and designed to incapacitate people even if they're armed.

Now I realise it has its flaws - if someone is shooting at you all the moves in the world won't work, but no one is likely to be shooting at me.

I just want a decent martial art (again, I know it isn't strictly a martial art) to compliment lifting and also so I'm a little more handy should trouble kick off. I'm not a fighter, but I am British, and as Doug Stanhope brilliantly pointed out, we're a lot more violent even on a casual basis than the Yanks.

I also know a few of bouncers (door men) who are proficient in this, and while it can be a bit airy-fairy when taught to old women, in the right hands it is pretty impressive.

Also, as an odd quirk, I can't fucking STAND the though of having to touch someone's disgusting bare feet, so it kind of narrows down my choices really.

Thoughts?

I'm 5'11.
There, I've fucking said it.

I'm a professional athlete and I know that 6 foot is the cut off for truly gifted athletes. How many guys over 6 foot can back flip?

I can single arm pull up. I can dragon flag. I've got a legit 7.6 x 6 inch cock. I'm pretty handsome but mostly charming as fuck.

But the siimple fact remains. I still work twice as hard as taller dudes, in every walk of life.

I look down upon taller dudes with disdain. They lack the fire and the motivation that I have... and that motivation comes from a deep seated feeling of inadequacy. I can't help but think 'Imagine if I was that height - what a monster athlete I'd be' and in the back of my mind I know I wouldn't be as good as an athlete as I am now, because motherfuckers don't just 'scale up'. At a taller height I wouldn't be as good. And the worst bit is I'd have that complacency of mediocrity from height.

I'm bitter. And that bitterness drives me to be better, stronger, smarter, richer, than all those tall faggots. And I'm winning. I compete against tall fuckers in every walk of life, and in most walks of life they don't compete, they just drift along. So when I meet one in athletic competition it's time for his lanky weak bones, his anemic organs, his soft loose muscles and feminine posture to be crushed, battered bruised. I take a hold of his waifish frame and I fucking demolish it. We all do. Every man under 5'11 is spending his life crushing the underved, the unknowing.

And yeah, tall fags will say they live their lives free from measuring up to others, free from inadequacy and they're right. Ye know who else does that. Fat acceptance fuckers.

I'm an absolute bitter, short, bastard. I crush pussy. I take the fucking money. I crush taller men. I win. I win. I win. I keep telling myself that and everyone knows I do.

We own the world and it's tall fuckers who drift along like waifish ghouls.

I wanted to ask if there is a shoulder workout move that you can do at home which trains all 3 zones of shoulder at once? Now I am exercising with the move showing on the picture. I have big front shoulder but no muscle on the back. It would be good if you could show some video how to train them all at one move. I wouldn't want to do many moves because I already train 5 other moves on the same training set.

> be me, 17 y/o, been short and skinny my whole life, and one of my legs is shorter than the other.
>bullied a bit, feel real beta, decide I'll lift weights and try to put on muscle mass
>go to highschool weight room, no idea what I'm doing
> go to weight room and do shitty form bicep curls and half-ROM bench press every day, M-F
>one day there is super jacked bro squatting in squat rack. never had seen anyone barbell squat before.
> he approaches me later after a set of my "curls" and shows me proper form: less weight, no swinging, elbows pinned to the sides, scapula retracted
> his name is Phil and he graduated last year, he's working for a year to save money for college and the HS is letting him still lift here.
>Phil says we should lift together the next day. I agree and am starstruck.
> The next day Phil shows me how to squat, deadlift, and bench press. I'm not very coordinated at the lifts yet.
> In particular the squat is hard because of my uneven legs
> Phil encourages me to load up the bar with a plate on each side and find a comfy stance
> I heft the barbell off the hooks. It feels immensely heavy. It's digging into my vertebrae. "What am I doing wrong?" I silently cry.
> I try to step my left foot back and inch and lose my balance
> stumble backwards a few paces and gain moment as I become ... FALLING!
> "Injury ahoy!" I panicked.
>Phil materializes, grabs the barbell off my shoulders with superhuman grace and agility and places it back on the rack
> as I continue my backward momentum, collapsing against his abs, dense as dyings suns they break my fall.
> shaken, embarassed, I mutter "sorry, Phil, I stumbled"
> Phil put his hand on my shoulder and said "Everybody stumbles one way or the other,
so check out my message to you:
As a matter of fact, don't let nothin' hold you back, If the Scatman can do it, so can you
If the Scatman can do it, so can you
> Phil says we should be training buddies. Phil teaches me a shitload

Does anybody have audio books/lectures relevant to knowledge required for training certificates (ACSM, NCSA, NASM, whatever)?

Just something I'd like to listen to during cardio or downtime when I can't physically have a book around to read.

Jeff Seid is truly the king of /fit/. Why does everyone pretend to hate him? Is it just a meme?
