BullDurham's blog
Continuing from my previous blog.
Funny enough I get messages from guys saying my previous blog post is fake, or I’m making things up. The best I could say is: ask the guys I’ve wrestled with. I’ve been on here and global since I was 18…I’m 34 now. Back then I was looking for super competitive matches like the ones I had in school, and there were a few dudes that I had brawls with, however these days I just like to have fun. Throwing on some gear, working up a sweat, testing strength, and seeing where it goes from there. That meant switching from trying to outlast and submitting guys in chokes/joint locks to trying something new. I wanted to be able to submit guys in things like bearhugs, scissors, and other clinches. I also wanted to be able to lift the 300lb guys that haven’t been lifted off the ground before. That meant, trimming some belly, building a stronger back, chest, arms, and I needed stronger legs so I could to lift the big boys…then keep them pinned down when I’m ready to plow.
RE: Bearhugs working - its possible. There are a few ways to make a bearhug effective. If the guy is around 220lbs or smaller, sometimes the traditional standing squeeze works. If he has a weak chest, I can squeeze up high and get a submission. However some of these guys bench in the same neighborhood as I do and you have to go a bit lower to either cause some discomfort or squeeze around his belly button to constrict his deep breaths. With the bigger guys, its gotta be angles. Try different clinches from his side, the front, the back, also with different grips. Don’t get me wrong, its not easy and everyone won’t tap in a hug…especially if I can’t wrap my arms around them. However, I’m a pretty strong guy. My bench/squat/deadlift are all well over 400-450lbs. I can create enough force to make men submit.
RE: Stamina - I wrestle, power lift, play rugby, bike, and lightly body build. You don’t get abs north of 260lbs easy. I work hard, and I love showing off my strength and build with other men.
So long story short, my goal on the site is to wrestle as many dudes as I can, make some friends, and have fun. I can get as competitive as you want.

11/30/2021 6:26 PMThis blog was not written by a man who was trying to pat himself on the back; rather, a reaction to some disbelievers. But, it is obvious that this member is proud of his accomplishments as a fighter, but in the process shared what he has learned about bear hugs. There might be quite a few who didn't know what they learned from reading his blog.
I was reading about the Costa fight that occurred perhaps a month ago; the UFC match that found the Mexican losing to the Italian. In the article the Italian winner indicated that he had Costa up against the cage, but was unable to wrap his arms around him; Costa, a former competitive power lifter was too big. I don't know, maybe it is my sense of humor that is a bit different, but I bet that was a shock to the Italian, and not a bit frustrating. And, to me amusing. Don't you think a guy would consider the physical characteristics of his opponent and adjust what he does in a match?
Well, our fellow member here obviously has had a similar experience, but I bet he took note of his opponents physique before he tried a bear hug and made the necessary adjustment in the placement of it.
No, this member's claim, if you will, rings true to me. But, if I may borrow the approach taken by the 20 century American humorist, "All I know is what I read in blogs."

12/01/2021 10:12 PMI have know this Fellow Rugger / Power Lifter for a while now. I also know some of the guys who thought could take him and ended up shall we say on the bottom of things. When speaking of his tactics to get big guys like me down, are all in check with his years as a rugger, hit low and hard first. As he said not many smaller guys think the big muscle guys have endurance. You try going up and down and tackling on a pitch for two 45 minute half's and see how much endurance you have. Have not been with this Cocky mouth kid yet but can't wait since he will be a real challenge. Any doubts what he can do on and off the mats come talk to me and I will set you "F'n" straight.
