I’ve never seen cramps like that

[Dove]

Somebody said this in the chat too. It's weird.

Fragile =/= soft. Bouk definitely gets injured easily. He is by no means soft. If anything, he puts his body on the line TOO much and too recklessly getting to the rim.

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.

Hmm looks like they thought better of that post lol

Cupping the shoulders impacts blood flow to the legs 12+ hours post treatment LMAOOOO

 

[Chin Diesel]

Cramps??

Get him some Midol and pickle juice.

 

[UCPharma11]

This is a terrible joke I hope

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

 

[RowdyFan]

The best thing for leg cramps is a teaspoon of yellow mustard. Followed by a pickle juice chaser.

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

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.
