It looks that way... I really want to play it as soon as they deem it safe to loan out the rackets again.
Apparently water polo is a very tiring game, something about having to constantly battle through the water and keep jumping out like that makes it one of the most physically demanding I've been told.

Wow. Squash was great fun. Was a bit worried that the people who I was playing with wouldn't like either the game or each other but it worked out perfectly. They're all talking about buying rackets now. So that's promising cos I really want to get it rolling so that I can book a court maybe twice a week and then vary the eight or nine people who have shown an interest.
Only thing is, it wasn't that good for my fitness cos for me it was quite gentle (playing with beginners) - and afterwards we went for beers and snails. Lots and lots of snails, both big and small, cooked in wine and onion and garlic I think. With loads of bread dripping in butter to mop all that up... I can see that becoming a tradition so we actually put on weight playing squash...

ok, so you're saying you're a beta male who's too afraid to step up and accomplish something real. something you'll be remembered for. you're not a real man. forget aesthetics, take the bloatmaxx pill.

but this guys even weirder than that because, as you just pointed out @IdleRich, he's not even doing stuff that other people recognize as impressive.

I became obsessed with my running style at one point. Watched loads of youtube videos on it. My mechanics were all wrong.
You get bad movement habits and you have to reset to your natural instinctual ways.

but there's another side to that which is when coaches deconstruct someones instinctive way of moving to make it more biomechanically 'correct' and as a result they lose all their effectiveness. this happens a lot with bowlers in the english sport of cricket.

yes if you have spent years calibrating your aim on certain biomechanics, switching them up is a bad idea

ive been watching a lot of these guys. they all look the same. watching eg westside barbell videos. i mean, it makes sense obviously. its a certain physical type that can lift very heavy things. it requires a particular kind of facial hair, purple or bright red face, crew cut or baldie, no neck, short little dinosaur arms, huge chest and gut etc
