He doesn't have any pain associated with the lack of sensation, no lower limb pain or numbness. He just can't feel it. Dunno if that's what you meant.

This doesn't deserve it's own thread, but the Pacific Mini Games will run from the 20th-23rd of June 2022. This will act as Oceania Senior Championships. It will be interesting to see what shape...

Sometimes I forget that I'm in a tiny little hole in a tiny little corner of the internet, then I read something that makes me remember that.
I forgot that Starting Strength existed and wondered...

It's been a while since we've had a technical discussion on this forum, it's mostly been news and elite sport competition discussion. I'm looking to gather some thoughts, musings, anecdotes on this...

My local WL friends and I are young (Youth-U23) - we all keep off WLreddit because it makes us mald. Not worth our energy.

Coming back to this, the Commonwealth Games qualification is all wrapped up. We could perhaps use this as the Comm Games thread if thread name changes are enabled? It's been a long time since I've...

I've not tried Weightlifting House's streaming service as they've screwed over a few people in the industry, with those people being in lesser positions of power. They won't try the same with those...

Uh yeah, Urso is well connected. That's how he secured the funding for Italian weightlifting to turn it into what it is now. Aside from that he was also on the IWF Executive Board and was really the...

Best wishes to forum member Hawkpeter and his athlete Jackson Roberts-Young attempting to qualify in the M109 slot for Australia this weekend.
