How often should you wash your gi?

You'd have to hit that button a butt load of ties to get 18446744073709551616, lol.

If I wasn't so lazy, I'd dig out my calculator and see.

No, you'd just have to hit it 6 times.

2 squared is 4.
4 squared is 16.
16 squared is 256.
265 squared is 65536.
65536 squared is 4294967296.
4294967296 squared is 1.8446744e+19 or the number he gave.

Whether or not the represents the exponential growth rate of bacteria, I have no idea.

Actually, here is a website talking about exponential growth in bacteria.

Exponential Growth and Decay

It suggests that the number of bacteria would be 16,777,216 after 24 hours of growth, with no accounting for decay or death of bacteria in that time frame.

Still a lot.....still gross.

I just told you that it doesn't.

continuous compounding can be calculated using e^rt. In short, geometric or exponential growth is a doubling interval, not a self-multiplication interval
 
hey dipshits, every bacterium divides as it grows. it's not that two of them have 2 kids six times, each successive generation divides itself into another 2, as does the previous. there's accounting for them falling off, dying due to lack of resources, etc, but there are damn near that many of them on you. some of them, like i said, divide every half hour. your gi is a giant petri dish. you couldn't smell 64 bacterium.

sqr(sqr(sqr(sqr(sqr(sqr(2))))))

you are composed of about 10 trillion cells. 9 trillion of those 10 trillion cells are bacteria.

You didn't tell me jack. I just came into the thread and hadn't had the privilege of reading your post yet.

Regardless, I posted a webpage to a growth algorithm for bacteria.

You are unnecessarily hostile on the internet.

I take this to mean that you are truly a warrior in spirit and I, therefore, afford you the greatest respect possible.

Hell, you can sleep with my sister.

And kid? Jesus. Go ahead and call me boy or son, claim to be my dad or something and we can make the farce complete.

Ah, I see. I was confused by you saying "2 squared 6 times". Not the same, but I see what you meant. I was reading you statement literally. I keep trying to play around I kept getting NOWHERE close, haha. I was scratching my head.

How much do you guys stink? DOnt you wear an deodorants or something? I never trained BJJ but for the few years I did karate and awhile aikido, I washed it approx. twice a month. And its not my subjective opinion that it didnt smell while everybody thought differently. We got along very well and others would tell me in a heartbeat in my face if I smelled bad. When youre a hightbelt theres lots of falling down and catching so it would be noticable. Maybe you should consider why you smell so bad so quickly ?
I guess if you train everday hard you should wash it once a week or so but after each practice? thats kinda excessive IMO

I can't comment on the intensity of your karate class but I've had an Aikido instructor adamantly state that if you're sweating in Aikido you are doing it wrong.

Conversely, in a competitive BJJ class I often drop multiple pints of water out of my skin (and thats with nogi, though it can be 80-100 degrees farenheit at sunset here during the summer).

The amount of sweat produced in bjj is closer to boxing than aikido in sweat producing capabilities.

And if it isn't your warmups may be too weak.

No, you're wrong. The growth is exponential. It's not squaring the number every generation, but multiplying by something, like 2 or 4 or whatever. Think of people: if every couple has 4 kids and then dies, there are twice as many people each generation than the one before. So 2 people, 4 kids, 8 grandkids, 16, and so on. That's doubling, not squaring. Adjust for additional death, or whatever and it's still exponential. There's a lot of stuff that can make it more complicated, like competition for resources which can slow it down below exponential growth, but first thing you've got to understand is the exponential growth. You know a lot about judo, but sorry, not much about math.

If you yourself don't find the stank of your own unwashed gi disgusting you either have no sense of smell or you train like a little bitch. That thing should stink. My gi is wet to the touch due to sweat after every single class.

The only way I get two classes out of one gi, is by doing the class right after each other (begin then Adv).




Vinegar,
I used to use Vinegar in my old washing machine (top loader) but now I have a front loader I haven't bothered because I don't know when to put it in. What do you guys with front loaders do?
Put it in with the detergent?
just pour it over the clothes?
Where the fabric soften goes?

EDIT: Vinegar works for getting a fresh smell into a gi, I have done so many times and 100% support its use. I just don;t know when to use it with my new machine.
 
Just put it in the pre rinse. Also try using odoban or pinesol for a super amazing smelling gi
 
If you are in America you can get a Gi for $60.

So its $60 to not be the stinky guy, to make your gi's last twice as long, to not feel like a scumbag, to not spread infections to your training partners or yourself.

That is value
