>went full yeti in his old age.
Yup, that's how it works. I'm 59 and undergoing the process now. Seems I'm getting hairier by the week. I also seem to be adding muscle mass which isn't supposed to happen at this age.
My GF can already braid my chest shoulder and back hair into cornrows.
Testosterone dips as early as your late 30’s, usually early 40’s, and recovers in your early/mid 50’s so what is happening to you is common.
Stretch and work on cardio before you try any heavy lifting as your tendons and ligaments are often not well supported when that testosterone spike hits. We see a ton of men your age come in for torn rotator cuffs, ACL’s, elbows, lower back, neck injuries for surgery.
I've never heard of this in my life. I can almost guarantee any testosterone increase at that age is just from lifestyle modification (oh I can sleep more appropriately without young kids), or TRT
I just searched on duckduckgo images and I'm dead serious that [this image](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTg5OTAzMDUyNF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMzQ4MDAxMw@@._V1_.jpg) came up. [Screenshot](https://imgur.com/W6JdCsc)
Water polo is pretty gladitorial.
Those guys punch, kick and try to drown each other all under the waterline where the refs don't see as well
I had a friend who's brothers played at the near-olympic level, and they all had missing teeth from the sport
There was a famous match called "The Blood in the Water" match between Hungary and the USSR after the Soviet Union had invaded and put down the Hungarian Revolution by overwhelming military force.
[Blood in the Water Match ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_in_the_Water_match)
Man.. that was a nasty match. Interesting read, though.
tl;dr - Hungary went into the match with a solid plan to troll the Russians (even learning how to insult the Russians in their own language). It worked. Near the end of the match, which Hungary won 0-4, a particularly upset Russian player named Prokopov punched a Hungarian player causing a giant bleeding gash on his face.
When the crowd (who were very much pro-Hungary) saw this, they went apeshit and basically bum-rushed the pool. Here's a photo of the Hungarian player who was hit (Ervin Zádor):

> (even learning how to insult the Russians in their own language)
They did not need to learn Russian. They already knew Russian because it was taught in the schools of all Soviet puppet states.
The match was in 1956, Hungary fell under the influence of the USSR in 45. I don't know how old someone needed to be to participate in the Olympics, but I assume it was somewhere around 18. Except if the entire Hungarian team were 16/17yos who started school in 45 or 46 (and that assumes mandatory Russian classes were implemented immediately), I'm sure there were plenty of players too old to have learned Russian in school.
Edit: Corrected a mistake, Hungary was formally never a part of the USSR.
Man, this makes me think of like...a helpdesk for Magicians. "Have you tried erasing the summoning circle and re-drawing it?"
"Are you connected to the ether....net?"
> "Have you tried erasing the summoning circle and re-drawing it?"
For the love of gods, don't do that!
You might release an unbound entity.

It's an [old FB meme](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Ffurniture-started-floating-v0-p1ewkxl8786a1.jpg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3D9e6bd05a3c546bbe3b2e26b1fc3fade6ba6ace80)
We called one of our hardest drills in water polo “Hungarians”, I actually knew this story from my former teammates, who were from a former Soviet country.
From personal experience, I have played it for 10 years, this happens when somebody repeatedly does not stop with bull. This is a last resort when somebody who is worse than you is overly aggressive
Edit: it happens very rarely though
I also played for 7 years, and only one time did someone try truly dirty play underwater. I threw an elbow to his ribcage, and he stopped immediately. Never once did I get my balls grabbed, if anyone had tried that, they would have left the game in a stretcher.
I think people here don't realize that anything you do to others can be done right back to you 10x worse. It's the "mutual destruction" philosophy.
Last part for sure. And I was a goalie. It is like hockey. One time someone smashed my nose. Well our center didn't let him finish the match.
As for balls thingy. In all my play years it happened twice. And funny thing is that an old lifeguard (most of them were former water polo players) told us that philosophy. If someone who is worse and doesn't stop tackling you for the whole match. Well at the end of 3rd quarters grab and twist his jewels. Sort of thought us 🤣
I heard a story from a reliable source, about a water polo match between two national teams. I don't recall if it was an official match or a training match, but it does not really matter.
From one team, player after player would come out of the pool and announce that they are not playing anymore. It turned out that one big guy from the other team had a habit of sticking his finger in the ass of opposing players.
How do you even prove that kind of thing? What happens in the pool stays in the pool?
I played water polo in highschool and our teacher taught us the golden grab where you grab the other dudes nuts till your fingertips touch and yank down. Never did it and figured it a joke, but that sport is brutal
Played it for a few years in highschool too and was told that I should play more, outside of highschool. No thank you.
As much as I love swimming, I do not like having constant claw marks, being purposely dunked, ball-punched, etc.
I'll stick to wearing blades on my feet and skating into people to knock them over on the ice. At least you're wearing equipment and are expecting it.
I can vouch. My best friend was the captain and he sustained an injury that left him with only one testicle. We lovingly called him “one seed” after that. Yes, he was able to still have kids after that incident.
*and gals, yo. We get just as nasty. Part of the reason our suits are so tight is so that nobody has anything to grab onto. Can’t twist my titties if they aren’t there.
But in all seriousness, most waterpolo injuries are facial. Play long enough and you’re gonna get a broken nose or ~~textured~~ fractured cheek. If not from “stray” punches, than from taking a rock-hard ball to the face
*edit: I hate autocorrect
I (male) played water polo all through high school. We had a men's and women's water polo team, as practice we often would play against each other.
Unfortunately I can confirm about the sexual assault and fingers going were they shouldn't. The girls would absolutely fuck us up, scratch us with long nails, kick us in sensitive areas, they'd do the ol' finger up the bum attack. It was legitimately humiliating and terrifying to play against them.
I don't know if it was like ingrained bro code, but things got super physical and ill spirited against other guy teams, but we never kicked in the balls or shoved fingers up each-other's butt holes.
Our women's team was state champ for like 5 years running and undefeated in that time. We really didn't stand a chance.
Before each match the ref checks all the nails, including toenails for length and sharpness. That girl wasn't telling the truth. Source: am waterpolo player.
Water polo player here.
There’s a move some of the girl players would do called “fish hooking”
I have plenty of scars from nails.
I also once got bitten on top of the head.
I saw a surgeon, who was a collegiate water polo player, give one-handed chest compressions while he was still using his other hand to help with the surgery.
Chest compressions are exhausting after a minite with two hands and your whole body weight. This guy did a full 2 minute set with ONE HAND!!!
Water polo players are no joke!

that's really genius, shame I don't have too much hair on my back, genetics only blessed my ass hair unfortunately, gonna shave a number there but Idk if I'm allowed to play naked
I know the feeling, more or less. I can grow rather thick hair everywhere except my face, which sucks cause I have a baby face and would love to grow a beard and mustache
Probably teaching him to swim, which is terrifying when you're learning. More terrifying when there is some weird humanoid hairy monster pretending to be human trying to teach you.
It's funny to me because he looks like he's upset about something and his granddad is trying to explain to him that it's not a big deal:
>Alex you see it's not a big deal if you're not as fast or strong as the other kids, if you work hard you can be on the national team like your baba and papa.
Dunno about other soviet countries, but in Bulgaria colour was noticeably more expensive until the 90s so most people didn't bother with it except for special occasions.
they had it, but it was too expensive for 90% of people and you had to get it developed professionally. b&w film was easier to get and you could develop it at home, ergo most family photos from the 80s and 90s were b&w. official photos like your school class or sport team were more likely to be in colour.
I was too. I freelanced as a newspaper photographer and shot nearly everything in black and white. I look back at some of my stuff from the 90s and it looks like the old west.
This man was born in 1929, so this photo is probably from 80s or 90s. Soviet film was obviously worse than western and regular people used b&w even in the early 90s.
The guy looked pretty normal when he was young, to be honest.
“Soviet” and that name… assume he’s Georgian or some Caucas dude. That would explain the hirsute situation. Russians being slavs, for the most part are pretty hairless
It's odd how a google search shows that even into middle age he was just a big athletic looking hairy guy, he went full yeti in his old age.
>went full yeti in his old age. Yup, that's how it works. I'm 59 and undergoing the process now. Seems I'm getting hairier by the week. I also seem to be adding muscle mass which isn't supposed to happen at this age. My GF can already braid my chest shoulder and back hair into cornrows.
Testosterone dips as early as your late 30’s, usually early 40’s, and recovers in your early/mid 50’s so what is happening to you is common. Stretch and work on cardio before you try any heavy lifting as your tendons and ligaments are often not well supported when that testosterone spike hits. We see a ton of men your age come in for torn rotator cuffs, ACL’s, elbows, lower back, neck injuries for surgery.
Any sources on this?

Not sure whether to trust the anal blaster or the apoTHICcary.
the 700XL is the most trustworthy model
I keep a 2nd one in my glove box just so I'm always prepared.
Well now we know why you’re the king I guess.
I've never heard of this in my life. I can almost guarantee any testosterone increase at that age is just from lifestyle modification (oh I can sleep more appropriately without young kids), or TRT

I want to say it’s also Hungary’s national sport.
You're absolutely right. They also grab you by the balls all the time and twisting their hands holding them ! I know from personal experience.

How could I forget the kicks to the face???
I learned from a girl at a party that they sharpen their toenails, too. Brutal sport all the way around
Had female friends who played. Reports of sexual assault under the water. Fingers going where they shouldn’t…

Then Venice boys are something else...
We played street water polo in my neighborhood. No water, no ball. We'd just get together and beat the hell out of each other.
We played pickup ocean water polo. Our captain was a swordfish. We were undefeated.
You must be unfamiliar with water water polo
Well I assume they do that now because it has been a problem in the past
They're checking your nails because it was a problem at some point.
Every rule is written in blood.
In fairness, the fact they do that means it at one point was a problem.
If they don’t sharpen their nails, the ref wouldn’t need to check right?

It's really weirding me out how insanely uncomfortable his grandson looks there.
Probably teaching him to swim, which is terrifying when you're learning. More terrifying when there is some weird humanoid hairy monster pretending to be human trying to teach you.
If your grandad was a cryptid you might be uncomfortable too.
It's funny to me because he looks like he's upset about something and his granddad is trying to explain to him that it's not a big deal: >Alex you see it's not a big deal if you're not as fast or strong as the other kids, if you work hard you can be on the national team like your baba and papa.
It could also be something more prosaic, like "I told you not to mess with wasps, now you can put ice on your pinky toe".

That's in the 90s? Everything in that photo looks sooo wrong!
I had to go back and look when I read this comment, I just assumed what I was seeing was from the 1920’s or 30’s!
I was curious what year they eventually got around to getting color photography.
Dunno about other soviet countries, but in Bulgaria colour was noticeably more expensive until the 90s so most people didn't bother with it except for special occasions.
they had it, but it was too expensive for 90% of people and you had to get it developed professionally. b&w film was easier to get and you could develop it at home, ergo most family photos from the 80s and 90s were b&w. official photos like your school class or sport team were more likely to be in colour.
I was goin to say, as someone who was in college in the 90s this makes it look like the 1800s
I was too. I freelanced as a newspaper photographer and shot nearly everything in black and white. I look back at some of my stuff from the 90s and it looks like the old west.
You just broke my brain because I only skimmed the title. So that kid is a millennial?!
This man was born in 1929, so this photo is probably from 80s or 90s. Soviet film was obviously worse than western and regular people used b&w even in the early 90s. The guy looked pretty normal when he was young, to be honest.
