I’ve never seen cramps like that

[Rocktheworld]

Well I hope they won't be doing any Chinese cups to the calves or thighs I hope? Lol

You don’t seriously think that blood flow to the legs is impacted by cupping to the shoulders 12+ hours prior, do you?

Would you settle for a world class Olympian example?

Cupping: Why Michael Phelps was covered in red dots

Cameras caught Phelps with dark red spots all over him ahead of his race Sunday night.

Not for nothing but Michael Phelps wasn't swimming for 40 minutes in the pool.

Im not saying I have concrete proof but just saying its a possibility, yes.

Well, we saw what we just saw!!

It's not just dehydration. Not for a 20 year old playing 20 minutes of basketball. It's something much more than cramps.

 

[aburks41]

He was clearly dehydrated. Hook him up to an IV tonight and tomorrow morning and he’ll be fine by tomorrow night

No it's not. He was clearly dehydrated which caused massive cramping.

 

[my2cents]

Good thing he wasn't swimming

An entire day of being amped to the max prior to the game even starting can drain you just as much as exercise can

 

[Rocktheworld]

Then maybe read about cupping, a process that momentarily alters the local blood flow to a small area, and apply some critical thinking, and then maybe you’ll realize how that could not possibly affect systemic changes that would be required for legs to cramp 12+ hours later.

And stop throwing around phrases like “controlled studies” in the mean time

If he didn’t eat or couldn’t keep anything down bc of nerves, he would’ve been running on fumes. Happened to me once at a practice. Didn’t eat or drink and my body started tensing up. Felt like I was running backwards

How does someone spend a life watching sports and come up with this take

Cramps are incredibly painful. I feel for Bouk. But once they are gone, they're gone.

Do you have any controlled studies to support this claim?

This exact scenario came to mind.

 

[UCDaveD]

I don’t remember the specifics, but I seem to recall some epic takes on athletes cramping haven been written on this board.

 

[TRest]

So if I get this cupping, I too can win a gold medal?!

Yes, if you are Michael Phelps

Until they're back.

Because unlike you, I actually participate. Have for 50 years. Hardly ever drink water and never cramp. It's more than cramps.

Kolumbo is a massive tool and a moron. This is actually one of the smarter things he's said on the 'Yard. He's only pretty far from logical here, instead of shockingly stupid like usual.

What, then?

He's clearly never played sports in his life.

Not sure what's worse, these takes on cramps or that you think playing sports and not drinking water makes you seem tough

 

[Rocktheworld]

He's clearly never played sports in his life.

He actually has! And never drinks water! Been killing it for 50 years!

Man with that kind of conditioning how did @Kolumbo not end up a world-class athlete?

 

[Kolumbo]

Here's to the lottery pick.

 

[Rico444]

That's not true, I have footage of him here.

It's like a parody account but he's serious.

Water is for NERDS. Real men drink Jameson before the game.

3:36. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
