TRT and Bicep Tendon Injuries: What the Latest Science Really Says

Hey guys, Gert Louw here, and today I want to tackle a really important topic that’s been coming up in the fitness world – especially for us older guys on TRT. You all know I’m a strong advocate for testosterone replacement therapy, but there’s been some buzz around a potential link between TRT and tendon injuries. So, let’s dig into it. TRT: The Benefits Are Real First off, let me make one…

Distal (Crystal Fighters) 2nd Gen Guide

Thought it'd be easier to compile random oddpet stuff on tumblr instead of insta

I dont own any other distal vpets (didnt interest me enough) so unfortunately no guides for the others, but they should play pretty much the same without the extra connectivity and download features the 2nd gen has.

It seems kind of weird from the vantage point of the 2020s that an original movie could ever get the same degree of cultural penetration as 'Star Wars' or 'Jaws' or 'Alien'. What do you suppose was the last original movie that came out such that everyone was kind of familiar with it, its characters, its settings, it plot beats, even if they hadn't personally seen it? When will we ever see the like again?

10 + slow horses (or fandom of your choosing!)?

Ok, I realize I already PM'd you about a different number since I did 10 for Outer Banks in another ask, but I decided to challenge myself:

“I can’t find a pulse!”

Someone not so gently tapped his cheek, rousting him back to awareness.

“River – can you feel your hand?”

He didn’t want to think about it. If he thought about it, the pain would no longer be distant, it would be all he could feel, and right now, numb was preferable.

“Talk to me,” Louisa demanded. “Say something.”

No words came, and he could feel the pull of blissful oblivion as his eyes slid shut again.

“River, darling – I know it hurts, but try...” Catherine was harder to ignore, and harder to refuse.

“Not anymore," he admitted.

runs back into bromantic flight. eyo does that mean Lloyd has a saddle (not actually a saddle, but something that connects to both him and Kai that is) that Kai can use to move Lloyd's arm in dragon form while traveling around on him?

I made a doodle just for you, dear anon

(lloyd is extra noodle-y now)

(also not tumblr eating the quality again god im so sorry)

Anyway what you're seeing here is that, yes, Kai has a saddle that he uses to connect the prosthetic to. The little glowing yellow things around Kai's leg? They're supposed to represent the straps that Kai fastens around his thigh to connect him to Lloyd's prosthetic (but i grew lazy and did not draw them in properly lmao)

Kai's thigh would be strapped to the radioulnar portion of the prosthetic, and the "stirrup" Kai's foot rests in is bolted into this sliding piston in the carpal portion of the prosthetic (which i also did not draw (forgot to) so you'll have to imagine it).

The main idea behind the self-regulating pistons is actually based on a real-life phenomenon called the perching reflex, which is found in birds! A series of "flexor tendons" are attached from the bird's femur and stretch all the way down to the back of the leg and the underside of the toes. When the bird extends its legs, the toes extend as well because the tendons relax; and when the the bird flexes its legs, the toes curl up because now the tendon is stretched around the bones and prevent free movement. This is actually how birds can sit in trees and sleep all night without falling.

(from Bird Vet Melbourne)

Similar thing is happening with the prosthetic, but instead of tendons it's pistons. When Kai flexes his leg, his thigh draws up the upper portion of the prosthetic and his flexing ankle (dorsiflexion) curls up the prosthetic's fingers, so to speak; and when Kai straightens his leg, his thigh pushes the upper portion downward, and his foot extension (plantarflexion) also extends the fingers.

I know this sounds like an absolute workout for Kai, and it is, and you may think by the time he comes back after numerous test flights everyone is very aware of his bulging quads, but it's not that obvious; it's like riding bicycle, if you think about. a really long bicycle. with one leg. while flying in the air. It's pretty much the same thing.

TLDR: there is a saddle that connects to the prosthetic. Kai sits on the saddle and uses his leg to adjust Lloyd’s prosthetic

"when he shoots what I imagine is his tibia out the top of his knee" look i know thats what it is but for the love of god word it differently that is so disgusting 🤮🤮🤮

That kekkei genkai's level of disgusting increases a lot more than you'd think when you start using the actual names of the bones he's forcing out of his body and using like weapons, huh? :)
