[violet swan]

Congratulations nevz!

Your Torracat is now level 32!

[naive valley]

[naive talon]

more practice =/= better performance

[violet arch]

GG @naive talon, you just advanced to level 1 !

[naive talon]

Gotta be good practice

[naive valley]

practice half dead is bad i think :/

[novel whale]

What if it's more GOOD practice?

[naive talon]

hard to do when you're tired

[pliant aurora]

Deep sleep helps you learn

[dapper solar]

damn

i cant get to sleep till 3 am after being in bed for 4 hours

and then i wake up

and im tired

and im like

bruhhhhhhhhh

[naive talon]

Try going to sleep earlier @dapper solar

like get in bed 2 hours earlier than u normally would

and fix your sleep schedule

[dapper solar]

i have tried going to sleep at like 6

and i end up sitting there until 9

and then i go to sleep for a certain time

but its always different

[naive talon]

I don't feel like blue light affects me like this but I read somewhere that it can cause people to take longer to fall asleep. But I don't think it was hours but maybe try putting your phone down before you get in bed

Might be your health

One of my friends take melatonin but some people say that stops working

[dapper solar]

ill try not touching my phone for the rest of the day and try to get to sleep as soon as im in bed

and

thanks for the advice cole

i dont know yet but it could be a life changer

[naive talon]

I haven't had any issues with falling asleep so maybe someone else could be more help but I'm always happy to help, if it works lmk!

[dapper solar]

ill update you in the morning, thanks again man!

[chrome kiln]

@dapper solar

Try melatonin

Like the dissolve tablet things

Take it like 10 minutes before bed, I use them to fix my sleep schedule. And it's suppperrrr helpful

[dapper solar]

gattcchuu

thanks amar

[oak orbit]

This is my specialty

[loud plover]

@dapper solar Try to consult medical specialists as well. Make sure you know what you're putting in your body at all times. Being conscious about your health is a vital step in improving it, as opposed to going on autopilot

[arctic moat]

Yeah relying on supplements to fix your sleep schedule isn't exactly healthy imo

[strong mason]

yeah if ur having trouble sleeping just watch sini's stream ROFLMAO

JUST JOKING! GOD

[oak orbit]

F

[violet arch]

GG @oak orbit, you just advanced to level 33 !

[violet swan]

Having a more consistent sleep schedule helps with staying asleep during the night as well as falling asleep. Also try to eliminate any light in your room. Also don't eat right before bed or atleast make it something small like an apple or something (I think I read that 2-3 hours was a good time to have a last meal). I'll link the article in a sec that goes more in depth. Oh yeah, and make sure you got the temperature at a cooler temp (like 67 (Fahrenheit) or somethin, i personally set mine to 65 at night)

https://www.sleepadvisor.org/eat-just-before-bed-risks/

Something that helped me stay asleep in the night was a weighted blanket. It's worth looking into, a lot of people see big improvement while using one

Congratulations bin!

Your Espeon is now level 55!

[tulip perch]

67 fahrenheit = 19.4444444 degrees Celsius

[violet swan]

ye, my bad

[slow kelp]

16-20 degrees are fine:)

[rose gale]

I eat around 695 calories on a usual day give or take some other variables

[violet swan]

What are some good snacks so I don’t eat icecream everyday

[naive talon]

Protein bars, protein shakes, yogurt, nuts, fruits & vegetables @violet swan

[violet swan]

But it’s all nasty :(

I only like strawberries

[naive talon]

Protein bars and protein shakes can taste good depending on which ones you get

there are almonds and other nuts that have seasoning or something on them that taste great

try every fruit again bc you will like more than just strawberries

https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Diamond-Gluten-Almonds-Smokehouse/dp/B0034KN2KS

https://www.amazon.com/Premier-Nutrition-Protein-Shake-Chocolate/dp/B00AINLC60/ref=sr_1_6?crid=37WAPDJ0NE9RE&keywords=premier%2Bprotein%2Bshake&qid=1578515210&s=grocery&sprefix=premier%2Cgrocery%2C184&sr=1-6&th=1

[violet arch]

GG @naive talon, you just advanced to level 2 !

[naive talon]

Premier protein shakes taste great and are amazing for you

they have a ton of flavors

and those almonds that I linked SMACK

Just dont eat too much of them at once lol

@violet swan

[loud plover]

Fruits are good snacks, in moderation of course

Protein shakes are good snacks. Could add fruit and TBSP honey

Bananas work well with mine

Portion of a bowl of cereal

Sandwich with most healthy things you can think of just to make them more delicious

Mini-salad of your choice

Even ifit's a caesar salad you order from somewhere

Small bread sticks are pretty satiating and good

Especially those with thyme

Everything in moderation is fine

Even ice cream

My experience with protein bars is limited. I never liked them, but surely there are some decent ones out there

Again, always in moderation

[tepid oracle]

most protein bars are really high in sugar and switch it up with the serving sizes just research protein bars and fidn the ones that are actually good for you and not a half a pack of oreos

[oak rapids]

imo protein bars are just disgusting

[tepid oracle]

In my personal experience if you want/trying to diet switch things up and find what works best for your body following one certain diet may not work for you

[zenith badge]

i eat rice cakes covered in choclate

^^^^^^^^^^^^

[naive talon]

Or just get flavored rice cakes instead^

Toast w/ PB is a great snack aswell

[rose gale]

Just eat 4 bananas

[violet swan]

Congratulations ScrubsFight!

Your Charizard is now level 95!

[rose gale]

Easy

[violet swan]

or toast w/ peanut butter and slices of banana (or banana chips)

[violet arch]

GG @violet swan, you just advanced to level 3 !

[rose gale]

What about toast with butter

[fathom juniper]

[worthy cloud]

[weak oxide]

@naive talon isnt protein shake boost your metabolism though

[violet arch]

GG @weak oxide, you just advanced to level 10 !

[weak oxide]

You constantly feel hungry at one point. Ofc it is good since if you combine with workout diet and resting you can push muscle but still.

[violet swan]

[violet swan]

what nutrition is good?

[arctic moat]

These are actually pretty good @violet swan

http://bit.ly/32Chxnp

@violet swan so you get an understanding of what can be considered 'healthy' https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/eat/calories.htm

[violet swan]

omega-3 is great @violet swan

[ebon thicket]

Nobody reacted to the dude eating 695 calories a day? Probably dead at this point

[tulip perch]

Let him life his life. Like damn

[worthy cloud]

I have to squat today but I'm still sore from rack pulls on Monday

[ebon thicket]

No pain no gain

[tulip perch]

Carpaltunnelsyndrom hurts aswell

[violet swan]

Congratulations reqq!

Your Charmeleon is now level 28!

[tulip perch]

Yet you don't gain

In short

Living life is a hell of it's own

[worthy cloud]

Yeah wrist pain sucks

No gains from it

Prevents aim gains too :(

[tulip perch]

I hope they fix that in the next version of life

[worthy cloud]

Yeah

Maybe next patch

10/10 should pin again

[violet swan]

700 calories a day for how long

Im inclined to say thats more than enough but Ive never restricted long enough

to really say if thats livable

[worthy cloud]

Take 1 day off maybe

[limber nacelle]

700kcal deficit or total?

[ebon thicket]

700 more then enough? You do realise you burn 1500+ calories a day by doing nothing? That would put you in a huge calorie deficit. If hes not obese its actually dangerous for you.

[reef elbow]

700 calories is way too low, and I dont think thats too sustainable over time

[pliant aurora]

A overweight man fasted for over a year. Didn't eat anything just water and electrolytes.

[solar marten]

that guy was like 600 pounds

so

not a great point of reference

[wooden gazelle]

bold of you to assume im not 600 pounds

[solar marten]

@violet swan try 1500 i would say

[wooden gazelle]

what if i am 600 pounds?

and this is the best advice ive heard

[solar marten]

ben unmuted

[wooden gazelle]

haha ye

[pliant aurora]

I did say overweight no?

[violet swan]

wait 700 calories a day?

that's a yikus

you already burn around 2k calories a day

by doing absolutely nothing

[pliant aurora]

I probably ate like 1000cals per day for like 4months

[violet swan]

ye your metabolism slows down after a while

but 700?

that's a bit much

[pliant aurora]

not really

[violet swan]

wdym not really

[pliant aurora]

My metabolism wen't back to normal after like 3 days of eating regularly

[violet swan]

hm

nop

cat pfp was better

what does that have to do

with anything

?

[pliant aurora]

talking to kelos

[violet swan]

i am kleos

[pliant aurora]

ye

[violet swan]

it's best just to workout

and stay a small calorie deficit

not starve yourself

[pliant aurora]

what is starving to you?

[violet swan]

where you eat 700 calories a day

[pliant aurora]

If I get nutrients and after your body gets used to the eating windows so you're only hunger around them its not that bad

[violet swan]

If ur eating 700 calories u need to eat more

[violet arch]

GG @violet swan, you just advanced to level 4 !

[violet swan]

Give it a google and u can find what u need calorically to maintain lose and gain weight

The protein carbs and fats are the not as necessary part

But u need more than 700 calories and can lose weight more efficiently while still eating more

Consider eating more protein

[pliant aurora]

1000per day about

and this was a few months ago

[unreal citrus]

Any weight gain tips for high metabolism people? I weigh 135lbs and literally cannot gain weight. I was eating twice as much and drinking 1200 calorie protein shakes for a couple months and never gained a pound

Actually lost 2lbs

[arctic moat]

How old are you

[limpid finch]

yea i have a really high metabolism as well

you have to just bulk up and workout

[unreal citrus]

21 @arctic moat

Yes I need to work out. I feel like I could get jacked pretty quickly as well

Considering i did a couple weeks in grip strength training and people noticed the difference in my forearms lol

[limpid finch]

i worked out for a bit and gained weight but i can't stick to it

it's way too much time / effort for me to put in with school and other stuff atm

[unreal citrus]

I would prefer to do basic at home shit instead of going to a gym

[limpid finch]

yeah that's what i did

i just have a set of dumbbells and a pull up bar

i stopped doing a full routine kinda thing and just now do push-ups / pull ups everyday

keeps me alive and well

[arctic moat]

It's not just working out though, your nutrition is even more important

[limpid finch]

he's trying to gain weight so you literally just gotta bulk and build muscle

[arctic moat]

You have to eat the right foods and get the right nutrients to effectively gain muscle, it's even possible to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time

[unreal citrus]

I shall just switch hands when I masturbate ez

[daring zenith]

good macros good workouts good sleep

to bulk btw

[limpid finch]

i have the same thing where my metabolism doesnt give me any weight

even if i eat a proper diet

[unreal citrus]

i have a pretty poor diet tbh

but I dont gain weight from it so I dont really have a reason to switch it (not saying its right, but I dont have the drive that some people have to make the switch)

[limpid finch]

i usually eat pretty well

drinks on the other hand

i need to lay off the bevs

[wooden gazelle]

YO THAT LOOKS HELLA DRY

LEMME GET YOU A BEV

[limpid finch]

dude that stuff isn't even sarcastic

that's literally what we do here

[ebon thicket]

Basically, if you eat "alot" and dont gain any weight, youre not eating enough

[arctic moat]

I forgot what it's called but the method I was talking about gain muscle but lose or even out on fat, is the best

[ebon thicket]

Simple as that

[unreal citrus]

jolly idk

[limpid finch]

no jolly i've eaten quite a lot before

i just don't gain weight at a rate an average person would

[arctic moat]

It's on Atlethe X's channel

[limpid finch]

i'm assuming same goes for taz where even if you try to eat more you just end up the same

[ebon thicket]

I used to be extremely skinny, I had to go over 3K+ calories a day in order to gain weight

I thought I was eating enough for years, but nah not enough

[limpid finch]

idunno when i was working out to gain weight i was eating quite a lot

[arctic moat]

Why would you work out to gain weight

[unreal citrus]

I mean I was taking in maybe 1500 plus 1200 calorie shake with 70g protein, plus physical job and side jobs, then lost some weight from it

[limpid finch]

i would just nonstop have eggs for breakfast and then chicken / rice / broccoli for my lunches and dinner

and then a shake

yea

[arctic moat]

Work-out to gain muscle

[limpid finch]

sini i don't weight anything

[arctic moat]

Not weight

Muslce will give you weight if you care about the number

[limpid finch]

muscles give you more weight than fat

[ebon thicket]

Come on now.. You barely gain any muscle if you dont eat enough

[limpid finch]

so i worked out so i wasn't sub 100 pounds

[arctic moat]

Yeah but most people refer to gaining weight as fat

As well as muscle

[ebon thicket]

You cant just go to the gym 7 days a week and then eat 1K calories a day and wonder why the fuck youre not building any muscle

You might get lean, but youre not building any muscles.

And people with higher fat % build muscle faster compared to people with low %

[arctic moat]

Know your body, contact nutritionist so you get an idea of what you need to eat and stick to it. Get the right nutrients everyday and work-out properly you'll see results.

[ebon thicket]

Its simple, if youre eating alot and not gaining any weight youre not eating enough.

[unreal citrus]

While I agree, I think the issue is that high metabolism dudes like Tony and I have to go to extremes for that. I mean I was eating until I was almost sick. I doubled my calorie intake and was drinking shakes and saw nothing. Its difficult to eat a lot.

[arctic moat]

That's actually not the right way to go about it jolly, you have to eat the right food for it to be healthy just going after calories will not yield results

[unreal citrus]

We cant just eat an extra egg in the AM and maybe an extra plate of dinner. We have to literally eat like 6 meals a day and dont gain anything

its insane

[ebon thicket]

Depends on what youre aiming for

Dirty bulk, clean bulk

Both work

[arctic moat]

It's health

So no dirty w/e, that's up to the person themselves

[ebon thicket]

https://youtu.be/vQVl4b-HHfY

Thats 3K calories, pretty much what I ate when I tried to gain weight

[unreal citrus]

dudes a chad

[violet arch]

GG @unreal citrus, you just advanced to level 17 !

[ebon thicket]

I'm not saying that you should eat like him, but if youre on a calorie deficit for months, try eating more and you'll feel so much better.

[unreal citrus]

Ill try to eat more Jolly. Need to find a way to quickly absorb it though because I physically have issues eating a lot

I mean I get sick if I eat too much

It sucks

[ebon thicket]

Yeah it takes time to get used to eating more

Its a struggle

[unreal citrus]

Well when I did it for a while I began to get used to it but the only thing that happened was I shit more

lol

my body just sucks in any and all calories then promptly shits it all out

basically to get to 150 I need to take in 3k calories and around 150g protein according to a calc

[ebon thicket]

I started at 2K a day

Then 2200, then 2400

We're all different

3K worked well for me

[unreal citrus]

what was your start and end weight and in what time frame?

roughly?

[limpid finch]

dude if i wanted to get to 150

it'd take me a millennium

[unreal citrus]

i mean I was at 2500 and lost weight so idk if that extra 500 calories would make me gain or not

[ebon thicket]

Roughly 3 months from 6'2, 143 pounds to 185 pounds

[unreal citrus]

yeah but youre 6 foot 2 tho

im 5'7

im a little boy

built like my grandfather

[ebon thicket]

But I did cardio + weight lifting and my exercise was all over the place

[unreal citrus]

dude i work with when from fat to jacked in like 6 months and now hes addicted to working out and is running some crazy obstacle course

[weak oxide]

Same with a friend of mine now she is a bodybuilder took her more than a year though

[unreal citrus]

a chick i went to school with was like that. shes jacked af im scared of her

but shes so nice

so its weird

[limpid finch]

i am also 5'7

but i'm also 105lb

stick gang

[unreal citrus]

bruh 105 you are actually underweight

im like borderline

at 130

@limpid finch do you have a gf/mom?

just tell her to cook her ass off for you gg ez weight gain

[limpid finch]

nah i don't really need to gain that much weight

my doctor always tells me im underweight but it's not something to really worry about

cause it's not like im unhealthy underweight with an eating disorder or something

[oak orbit]

Holy fuck 105

[zenith badge]

im 120

14 yo

[oak orbit]

I don't think I've been 105 since like 6th grade

[zenith badge]

damn

[zenith badge]

47 kg

dude ur some thick ass 11 year old

105

hollllllleeeeeeeee

[unreal citrus]

[unreal citrus]

[zenith badge]

[violet swan]

110

close enough

[hallow cobalt]

dang

[violet swan]

rice cakes are op tho

[vapid hawk]

rice cakes with peanutbutter also 10/10

[frank dragon]

Im 114 5’9

[violet arch]

GG @frank dragon, you just advanced to level 35 !

[violet swan]

My doctor tells me im obese lol

[vapid hawk]

Does anyone have a really short and simple stretching/mobility routine for before a workout? I wanna go heavier but already had a small hamstring injury like a few weeks ago and I'm afraid that if I go any heavier I will get injured again

[violet swan]

Should I do a stretching routine before I play?

[arctic moat]

@violet swan Yes

@oak orbit Help fir out

[violet swan]

What's the benefit of that though?

[arctic moat]

Good wrist exercises to prevent injury
https://gmb.io/wrists/

Prevent injury

[violet swan]

Not the whole body?

Or just wrists only.

[arctic moat]

You ask before playing so I would say wrist

Exercise in general obv helps staying healthy

and getting up to stretch etc

[violet swan]

I would say read through this @vapid hawk https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/stretch-before-exercising/

[limber nacelle]

@fir What lift dou you want to stretch for? When going heavy you should do dynamic stretches before starting each compound lift.

[vapid hawk]

thank you @violet swan

im 16 and 168 lbs (6'0) if that is relevant

[violet arch]

GG @vapid hawk, you just advanced to level 7 !

[limber nacelle]

Stretching does little to nothing in terms of injury prevention tho you just increase your range of motion

If you wanna push for PR's just do your warm-up and that's it

[vapid hawk]

i usually just hold a squat on my lowest point for a few secs with bar only a couple times

and just bar only squats for warmup, then gradually increase weight

[limber nacelle]

Also are those calculated 1RM?

[vapid hawk]

yes, but in theory since I'm still only 6 months in. I'm adding about 5/10kg to deadlift every workout and 5kg to squat

[limber nacelle]

How many reps/sets?

[vapid hawk]

got a 110kgx2 deadlift yesterday so I'm hoping to keep getting PR's until I stall

my 1rm is probably higher, but most of the time it's not really realistic

[limber nacelle]

Seems like a good progression tbh

[vapid hawk]

I was on SL 5x5 for 8 weeks which was a huge mistake. And probably on Reddit PPL for about 4 months.

Now I'm doing PHUL since I have school again and can't go 6 times a week

[limber nacelle]

5x5 is a good program if you opt in for the assistance

If you do it right it'll get you to a good base

[vapid hawk]

It was easy and simple at the start

but squatting everytime

zzzzz

[limber nacelle]

True dat

But it's made for dyels they need all the core they can get

[vapid hawk]

also, idk why the fuck but I can't do a pullup

am weak in back

ive always trained it but not strong in that department

[limber nacelle]

Anyways dude I wouldn't stress about your 1RM too much it's not bad ... When you plateu you could get the 1.25kg plates and stretch it out a little further or just decrease reps etc

[violet swan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfGNjYogpiE watch that fir

[vapid hawk]

ty

[limber nacelle]

Or bulk harder

[vapid hawk]

i have a problem with not eating enough lol

[limber nacelle]

2 scoops in the morning 2 in the evening

[vapid hawk]

i ate 1500 calories for a few months, thinking it was good

[limber nacelle]

1500 isnt even my tdee

[vapid hawk]

now I average 2600 calories with a 2800 tdee

[worthy cloud]

Just run smolov

[vapid hawk]

ive heard of smolov, never really knew what it was tho

[limber nacelle]

Are you cutting?

[vapid hawk]

im trying my best to eat maintenance but i have to force myself to eat some of the time lol

[limber nacelle]

Yeah well then no wonder your approaching a plateu

If you really can't get yourself to eat more you can go for a mass gainer

[vapid hawk]

ill stick with greek yoghurt, bread and chicken for now xd

[limber nacelle]

Milk + Whey + PB + oats

[violet swan]

264kg dl is ur max and u did 110x2?

[limber nacelle]

Is a quick easy shake that's great on abulk

[vapid hawk]

lbs

264lbs 110kg

[violet swan]

Oh

Oops

[vapid hawk]

sorry my fault for mixing them up xd

@limber nacelle my breakfast is always greek yoghurt + protein powder + banana/kiwi

its godly

plus coffee

[worthy cloud]

I feel like a lot of beginner programs neglect bench and ohp

[vapid hawk]

those are my weakness tbh

[limber nacelle]

Bruh OHP is my nemesis

[vapid hawk]

i have to wear a belt for 30kg OHP because my lower back dies

[worthy cloud]

I love ohp

[limber nacelle]

I hate that exercise with a passion

[worthy cloud]

I wear a belt for ohp too

But

Only if I'm doing 225 or more

[vapid hawk]

wtf

are u michelin man or something

100kg OHP

damn

[worthy cloud]

Ya kinda

[violet swan]

Id only do a seated ohp tbh

[worthy cloud]

I weigh 266lb

[violet swan]

Fuck standing

[worthy cloud]

I do both

You tend to use chest more in seated ohp

[vapid hawk]

i weigh 168 lmao

[limber nacelle]

I skip both

[vapid hawk]

is it true that if u are younger but the same weight as someone older that ur still weaker by standard

[worthy cloud]

I peaked at 245x3 on ohp

But I'm fat and old

[vapid hawk]

what if u fail

ohp with 245lbs

u die right?

[worthy cloud]

Just dont drop it

[vapid hawk]

4Head

[limber nacelle]

He dies as this is the rule of fitness

[worthy cloud]

You just lower it in a controlled way

I mean

[vapid hawk]

Gym fails are the funniest, people doing 1/4 squats with super heavy weight

[worthy cloud]

Dropping 100lbs on your head can kill you too

Or 50

Or even 15

[limber nacelle]

Speaking of dropping ... Some dude dropped a dumbbell on his spotters foot today and broke his toes 😂 👌

[vapid hawk]

When I first started I did squats on the smith machine (idk why), and I lost balance and almost got 70kg barbell on my head lmao

it was fkn akward

because so many people were staring

[limber nacelle]

Also no clue what they were doing ... Like why did he even have a guy spotting dumbbell incline bench

With 10s

[worthy cloud]

Wat

[violet swan]

Lol

[vapid hawk]

interesting lmao

[limber nacelle]

And how the fuck can you drop it so far behind you to hit another guy's foot

[vapid hawk]

how do you even spot that

elbows?

[violet swan]

My only powerlifting meet i was 16 and my coach flaked so one of his guys wrapped my knees and he fucked up the wrap

It came undone while descending and i went straight down

Spotters barely had me

[limber nacelle]

One dude asked me to spot bench for him ... 190kg ... was my second week in the gym and I was solo

Dude died last year due to heart failure

[worthy cloud]

[limber nacelle]

3 guys taped out last year .... They all were big as fuck and they all had heart problems

I wonder what happened

[mortal marsh]

is there an optimal posture for aim

[buoyant onyx]

run

competitively

[violet swan]

Congratulations bad!

Your Persian is now level 61!

[gritty crest]

guys do you guys have any teqs to release pressure when playing

[violet swan]

Pressure as in what like when people are watching you? Or like for smoothness

[gritty crest]

@violet swan oh i mean mentally like pressure in your chest ik weird question

[violet swan]

So anxiety probably

I know the feeling for sure

Deep breathing can definitely help. You could also try something like this https://www.anxietycanada.com/sites/default/files/MuscleRelaxation.pdf

Or this one https://www.healthline.com/health/breathing-exercises-for-anxiety#long-exhale

Congratulations bin!

Your Espeon is now level 56!

[gritty crest]

ah ty @violet swan it reminds me of teq i forgot where you make your body tense when breathing in and release when breathing out thanks man

[violet swan]

Yes!!! I do this kind of stuff to help me fall asleep sometimes as well

[warm loom]

i love the fact that sparky has a health channel now, this is so sick

get multivitamins, omega3, and L-theanine (or drink green tea) to help not feel sluggish all the time, the l-theanine (min. 20mg) is to help with relaxation and anxiety

imo l-theanine works best when taken before tournaments, otherwise it starts losing it's effect.

GG @warm loom, you just advanced to level 1 !

[hoary ridge]

@limber nacelle Imagine being stupid and thinking that steroids are gonna kill you if you use proper dosages and go to your doctor for regular check ups

Using 3 gym rats as evidence

🤡

[rugged night]

nice roid rage

[hoary ridge]

lol bozott is here

haha

[daring zenith]

l theanine tolerance shouldn't be a thing

[hoary ridge]

is l theanine goated or n

[limber nacelle]

@hoary ridge nice implying ...

I never said that roids are going to kill you when used properly but ok ... It's obvious that they didn't use them right ....

Also imagine insulting other people because you don't get sarcasm 🤔

[chrome kiln]

@arctic moat

Regarding what you said

All it does it just boost what your body naturally does

Doesn't negatively effect your body, much if at all

From my experience anyways

It's not addictive either

Which is a nice bonus

[worthy cloud]

If used properly melatonin supplements are a healthy way to regulate your sleep

But you could also do what I did and just build tolerance to it

And never sleep again

[limpid finch]

^^

[chrome kiln]

Bro what

How TF

[worthy cloud]

I haven't slept since 2004

[limpid finch]

you'll get it eventually

[chrome kiln]

My mom has taken them for 1-2 years and hasn't had a problem

[limpid finch]

there's gonna be nights where even after taking it

you're not gonna fall asleep

so you're gonna need higher dosages

[chrome kiln]

Been 1 month

And it's been fine

[limpid finch]

yeah a month isn't enough to build a tolerance

[worthy cloud]

I've been using it off and on for a lot longer than 2 years

[limpid finch]

it's similar to caffeine

[chrome kiln]

A literally can't sleep without it

[limpid finch]

you'll start to develop a need for it

[chrome kiln]

I get like 2 hours of sleep

[limpid finch]

after a few months

[chrome kiln]

Well I'll let you know if eventually any problems occur

[limpid finch]

just don't get a dependency on it and you'll be good

[worthy cloud]

Let me know I 5 or 6 years how it's going

[limpid finch]

also regulate yourself

[chrome kiln]

I legit take 1

[worthy cloud]

You should be fine

Dont worry about it

Just make sure you take it when you're lying down to sleep

[chrome kiln]

Generally am super anti drug, so me doing this is a crazy turning point

[worthy cloud]

I would take it then get distracted and stay up for a few hours

That's why I ended up needing more

[chrome kiln]

Ah

[limpid finch]

yea take it right before you go to lie down to sleep

[chrome kiln]

I have been

[limpid finch]

usually it takes like 15-30 minutes for it to kick in

[chrome kiln]

So far

[limpid finch]

so when i took melatonin i'd take a shower and do my other nightly stuff and i couldn't fall asleep as easily

though now i don't need it cause i'm pretty good at controlling my sleep habits it's just whether if i want to sleep or not

[chrome kiln]

Fuck just realized I didn't shower yet

Thanks for reminding me

[violet swan]

bru h if I take melatonin does that break my 5 days of sobriety

[violet swan]

i use melatonin every night

helps me fall asleep in like an hour

but the cons to it is, it makes you sleep for fucking ever

[formal lotus]

sleep is good

school is not

[rose gale]

@ebon thicket bruh I realised that 1800 calories is the minimum maybe I should eat more bread

I feel like I've seen way crazier burgers

[trail lantern]

@formal lotus Did you try it? I wanna try it 😄

[chilly badge]

Hey I’ve been getting some pain recently after playing and aim training. How often do you guys stretch and what stretches are you doing?

[arctic moat]

Do it in between runs and before playing

[fathom juniper]

Search for dr levi harrison on yt

[arctic moat]

Dr Levi stretches are decent I think

Good wrist exercises to prevent injury
https://gmb.io/wrists/

[pliant aurora]

@arctic moat if you're going to add in the apple cider vinegar we talked about then you should also include the mother which has proteins in the vinegar

[worthy cloud]

[fathom juniper]

Vinegar

[pliant aurora]

yes

I'll fix that for you king

[chilly badge]

Thx @arctic moat @fathom juniper

[violet swan]

[lone willow]

https://youtu.be/_tIXWC3m5Os?t=11

this guy has good stuff

[violet swan]

Thanks! gonna do these exercises for sure

This one as well by him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYGfDCGrJ4A covers wrists as well

interesting

[chilly badge]

thx!

[violet arch]

GG @chilly badge, you just advanced to level 1 !

[violet swan]

So, who here has attempted / finished a 48h no sleep run @ any % glitchless ?

[unreal citrus]

can anyone explain why a different mouse pad gives me wrist discomfort lol

[arctic moat]

Odd question, maybe the thickness of the pad or the fabric

[violet swan]

I'm scared of getting RSI

might need to learn how to operate OS and browser without mouse

even then

ergo keebs : /

are a thing

[wooden gazelle]

touchscreen monitor

op

then use onscreen keyboard

[arctic moat]

@violet swan you're probably good if you do stretches

[violet swan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXkSDfgAHGw&feature=youtu.be this is what I've been referencing for hand stretches

I should do it more

[arctic moat]

Kastor is also

writing a guide

so

that may help as well

[lofty blade]

is it better to workout/do cardio after i aim train or before?

[lone willow]

doesnt maatter im my opinion

I always aim well after i workout so its good for me

even when my grip strength is fried aim is the same

[cursive hemlock]

For beeing focused and have a steady and high energy level throughout the day, should I quit caffeine completely or is it fine to only have one cup in the morning ?

[wild grove]

generally people have crashes when they consume caffeine

are you regularly drinking water?

[cursive hemlock]

yea, but my coffee intake is high i guess, 3+ cups of it everyday, and I get more tired if I drink more

[violet arch]

GG @cursive hemlock, you just advanced to level 1 !

[stark fiber]

2 should be fine imo. The effects subside in 4-6 hours afaik so I drink 1/day on weekdays and 2 on weekends. Coffee naps are next level tho. Feels like irl cheat codes.

[cursive hemlock]

Do you experience some sort of energy crash after only 1 cup ? @stark fiber

[stark fiber]

If I drink it on an empty stomach/don't drink enough water then yeah. It has the opposite effect basically. Otherwise not really.

[cursive hemlock]

ok thanks : )

[reef elbow]

@violet swan My guide has some mobility excercises to warm up and stretches. Ill be returning home on Monday so ill be releasing it this upcoming week

Should help you a lot

[violet swan]

sweet, was wondering when that would be releasing

keen to see you get back on the grind and climbing back up to beat my scores :p

[reef elbow]

I took a two week vacation so I couldnt finish it

Haha ill do my best

I wasnt grinding too much before I left but I wanna play more and more efficiently

[violet swan]

a guide would be really appreciated at this point, some days I'm grinding at an intense level for hours without much of a break and want to make sure my wrist isn't going to give out in a year (or less)

kovaaks is so fun, I don't touch anything else at this point tbh

[reef elbow]

Yeah Im not interested in anything else either

@wild grove I used to drink 5 or 6 coffee cups a day, and yes I experienced crashes

So I stopped, now I only drink one in the morning, and I feel much more energetic than before

[wild grove]

yeah more than like 1-2 cups seems like overkill and just ends up being worse

[hallow acorn]

my balls are uneven.

[violet swan]

unfortunate

[upper copper]

uneven balls = normal fyi

[violet swan]

i would play kovaaks it might help

[upper copper]

anyway

yeah

anyone have a nutri bullet?
just found the best healthy smoothie that legit tastes like a milkshake
but with no sugar

unsweet soy milk
1/2 cup or cup frozen chopped kale or spinach depending on size of blender
handful frozen mango chunks
handful raw walnuts
sprinkle of chia seeds

is actually so good

and is fairly sweet

[cursive hemlock]

too much work

[violet swan]

it takes about 3 mins aha

to make

[wild grove]

i thought that said handful raw walrus

[violet swan]

😍

wait

woops

[wild grove]

was like wtf thats a beefy

smoothie

[violet swan]

hahaha

[arctic moat]

haha

what if I just mix

almond milk and banana

🙂

I prefer that

[violet swan]

yumm

that sounds pretty good too :D

[limber nacelle]

I have a small mixer similar to a nutribullet really great investment
-250ml milk
-2scoops whey
-15g peanut butter
-some chia seeds
-little bit of frozen strawberries
is what I do

[limber nacelle]

Since we're on nutrition ... Does anybody mealprep here and can share some ideas for breakfast? I need something that I can pop into the microwave and preferably eat while I drive to uni...

[violet swan]

toast

[arctic moat]

I just microwave chicken and rice

xd

[violet swan]

nice i just got a nutribullet, gonna try that smoothie

hard boiled egg/s maybe @limber nacelle or yogurt or somethin

[short cave]

hardboiled eggs are great in the morning

[violet swan]

https://carmyy.com/perfect-hard-boiled-eggs/

This has some good ideas and stuff on it like: storing them, other recipes with them etc

[violet swan]

Yeah breakfast or food in the morning is different for everyone. Some people it works well and is beneficial, others not. Just sort of experiment with what works best

[astral stone]

tips for fixing my sleep schedule? i keep going to bed at like ~5am and waking up at around 3pm on weekends, and on school days as soon as I get home I pass out till around 6 to 7:30

[novel whale]

exercise and when winding down turn off every blue light like read a book or something

take a bath too and keep room temp warm

or supplement yourself with melatonin ez fix

[limber nacelle]

@bin thanks for the link ... I somehow never considered making eggs in advance

Always thought they go bad quickly

[violet swan]

Devil eggs are good snack

[frank dragon]

Cold hard boiled eggs as snacks

Made me vomit a lik bit

[grave temple]

this could also be in advice

but this is kind of mental health

the more I worry about and train my aim, the worse I do in games

I cant aim for shit in fortnite now

idk why

[frank dragon]

Well

Training 2d and 3d is naturally different

You won’t see that good of conversion

Remember youre doing it to improve

Mouse control

Aim in game is probably more affective

More boxfighting etc

[loud plover]

Asking about forearm placement. The general consensus is, forearm on or off desk doesn't matter. More importantly, 90 degree elbow and tucked in a normal position. Is that correct?

[frank dragon]

I mean

[loud plover]

I was surprised, for one, seeing Yu in his latest video having such good posture. But it's to be expected I suppose

[frank dragon]

Tucked in normal position

Im confused

To that imagery

[loud plover]

Your arm isn't fully extended, basically

Your elbow is close to your torso where it normally would be if you were standing up

[frank dragon]

Hmm

I have

It

Way out

[loud plover]

Fair

[frank dragon]

I always felt that

Having it tucked in

Would reduced movement to the left

Maybe because of my mouse drift

When I track going left

[loud plover]

That's true

Even sometimes going right if you tuck it in too much, elbow makes contact with your body

I don't think it's a cause for concern either way tbh, fully extended, or partially bent

Sometimes when I fully extend I rest my forearm a little toomuch on the desk (desk is abnormally high, working on getting that fixed)

[frank dragon]

Actually

If you

Try to turn your aim 180

While tucked

Its worse than untucked

[loud plover]

Yeah ofc

[frank dragon]

Feels weird

[loud plover]

It should never feel forced, whatever position you're in

Unless someone's posture sucks, then of course work on improving that

[frank dragon]

Probably with it not being tucked

Is that you lean in

A bit

[loud plover]

Yeah, as long as the neck is in a good position, and you're not making out with your monitor

[frank dragon]

xantares

[loud plover]

Oh jesus

Why is he so close to his monitor

[frank dragon]

His kbm on the monitor stand

And mouse is behind

HAHAHHA

[limber nacelle]

when @4:3 fov is stil too big

[frank dragon]

Too big?

I play 32 inch 4:3

[loud plover]

Hahaha for xantares, I think he means

[limber nacelle]

yeah

[frank dragon]

And as close as xantares

[limber nacelle]

was joking about him sitting so close

[frank dragon]

o

Dont mind me

[violet swan]

[modest raptor]

I thought my fhand and finger hip strength was low so I did some hand grip excersizes and my muscle between my thumb and palm is now sore

Is there a stretch for that area

[rose gale]

should i get a more light weight mouse, every time i use it for a long time my should starts to hurt a bit, my mouse weighs like 126 grams

[violet swan]

Maybe there is a posture issue if your shoulder is hurting. Any of you guys recommend any ergonomic chairs? Preferably ones that arent crazy expensive

[violet arch]

GG @violet swan, you just advanced to level 5 !

[violet swan]

In the pinned messages there is a diagram/picture of tips for good posture, I can dm you it if you cant find it @rose gale

[rose gale]

Found it

My chair has a inward curved spine or whatever you call it

Something like this @violet swan

[limber nacelle]

lumbar support^^

[fathom trench]

my back hurts after playing 1 hour of kovaaks and then i do streches is there any good gaming/office charis to 150$ that would help keep my back straight and not hurting?

[rose gale]

150$ for good chairs

Wow

I'll just use my dining room chairs then

[limber nacelle]

you could scoop local office clearance sales (idk if thats the right word)

[fathom trench]

kinda short on cash rn

[limber nacelle]

like there are comapnies that sell used high end office chairs like steelcase etc for cheap

[vestal pumice]

also thanks @rose gale how long are you usually sitting per day and does the chair ever cause discomfort

[rose gale]

Well now that school has started I would say 2 hours, on weekends doe I will Inconsistently sit for 5-7 hours a day

[heavy dew]

Quickest way to fix sleep schedule? I sleep at around 5am everyday and feel like shit .

[strong mason]

Wake up earlier

[short cave]

dont sleep one day so you can go to bed at any time, sleep at a normal time and then set an alarm to wake up at the time u want

and boom its fixed

[heavy dew]

Lmao I’ll do that

What’s the recommended amount of sleep? Is 6 hours enough?

[short cave]

7-10 for kids

/like teenagers

and for everyone else like 9 i guess idk

[pliant aurora]

For teenagers its like 7-10 and for adults its 5-9

[heavy dew]

I’m 17 so hopefully 6 is fine

I’ll go for 6 see how I feel

Maybe increase if I feel tired

I’ve heard not exposing ur self to blue light for 1 hr before sleeping really helps, is that true?

[short cave]

yeah

[heavy dew]

K I’ll try that too

[rose gale]

I've been searching Google for a while but i cant find anything about this, randomly my entire body will twitch, like a 1 second seizure if you want to call it (bad analogy I know)

[violet swan]

5 is never fine.

https://www.sleepfoundation.org/press-release/national-sleep-foundation-recommends-new-sleep-times

@heavy dew "Younger adults (18-25): Sleep range is 7-9 hours (new age category)
Adults (26-64): Sleep range did not change and remains 7-9 hours"

So depending on what works best for you get somewhere between the 7-9 hours

Congratulations bin!

Why do i feel tired after 9 hr of sleep

only after 13 hrs of sleep i dont feel tired but i feel like

[weak oxide]

@trail lantern diet, activity?

[trail lantern]

imo good diet but idk i dont really do any activities

[violet swan]

Try some exercise during the day, it can help you have good quality sleep. I think the quality of sleep might be the issue if you are eating healthy

Try some of these as well. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/17-tips-to-sleep-better

Asking your doctor this question would be very beneficial as they can run tests and other stuff to ensure there isn't a sleep disorder or something like sleep apnea @trail lantern

Oh yeah and also do you wake up a lot during the night? Sometimes people don't know whether they do or not

[trail lantern]

no but i never wake up when my alarm goes off

its almost every time 1h-30 mins before alarm that i wake up

but not get up from bed ofc

[weak oxide]

@trail lantern that is actually good imo

i mean if you wake up 30 mins before the alarm

mean you wont get sudden wake

or panic wake up

[trail lantern]

true but its still weird like i wanna get a good amount of real sleep 😄

[weak oxide]

it more natural wake up that what i mean

i mean you would technically otherwise you wont wake up natural like that

if it 7-10 hrs sleep i assume

[trail lantern]

ye

sometimes i wake up even bef 7 hrs of sleep which makes me go full tense1983 mode

when i just want + 7 h of sleep but no 😄

How do I get smaller appetite

Like

I'm trying so hard to get fit

I'm running 20 mins everyday

Plank everyday

Weights every second day

But I just eat so much

[violet swan]

Eat more fiber, also you could try out eating almonds or peanuts they are very filling. I can find you a source for more tips and other foods that are filling

Fruits and vegetables are the same way. Low cals but very filling

Oh eggs too this site is incredibly helpful https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/15-incredibly-filling-foods#section1

Oh and drink a glass of water before every meal. And possibly increase your water intake. like 2 liters a day I think is a good amount @nimble cipher

im guessing osu players get that problem a lot as well

Nah they click with keyboard

well yeah, but if you think about it, it is a similar movement that uses those tendons or whatever just on the non-mouse hand. especially if you use z and x (i think thats default)

@chilly badge careful with numbness cause it can be related with nerves

it can be bad blood circulation too, depending on the situation

[chilly badge]

What would you recommend doing?

[trail lantern]

gimme some exercises to do now to perform in couple hrs

How do I fix eating like once a day. Lol I have no appetite ever. And when I do it’s just snacking. Is this depression? 🤔

[trail lantern]

exercise? that'll make u hungry for sure

[midnight rock]

I feel wrist pain. Feels like it’s located on the palm side right in the middle. Any help is appreciated.

[violet swan]

Stretches @midnight rock what kind of pain? Like sharp or

There are some wrist stretches linked in pinned

[midnight rock]

Basically I’m at work rn and had to take a break because I couldn’t support the 7ish pound air tool in my hand

Idk what’s considered sharp and dull tbh

[violet swan]

how do you hold the tool like what kind is it? the position you hold could probably give an estimate of the exact muscle or tendon that is being strained (i think )

[midnight rock]

My left hand goes where the handle is.

Area where pain is felt

[violet swan]

I would say ice it and/or take anti-inflammatory medicine like ibuprofen

[limpid finch]

^^

probably just overusing you're wrist

your

@violet swan 1200 ibus

And 1200 is the strength

[sour hamlet]

Yall know how to actually repair sleep? I cant find shit on it

Currently going to sleep at like 3 - 4 in the morning and waking up at like 1 - 3 in the afternoon

[violet swan]

"One approach to reverse temporary sleep clock setbacks is to stay up one full day until the next normal bed time. This method is essentially planned sleep deprivation, so it is best done under doctor supervision.

There is not a lot of specific research on this method outside of anecdotal accounts for overcoming sleep clock problems, but it is a clinical part of chronotherapy and has been researched for depression treatment.

If you have been going to bed at 4 a.m. and waking at noon, you would wake at your normal time (perhaps on a Friday) then not sleep again until perhaps 10 p.m. the next day (Saturday). Light and mild activity could be helpful for staying awake.

Be aware that you should expect to be tired, and that you should never drive or perform any other dangerous tasks when sleep deprived." - https://amerisleep.com/blog/reset-sleep-clock/ A lot of people do this and they say it works

[short cave]

idk about the doctor supervision part

but thats what i do if my sleep schedule is ever messed up

it works for me

[sour hamlet]

Okay, basically just stay up all night then go to sleep at a normal humane time?

[short cave]

yeah

[sour hamlet]

I may try that tonight then

Does it actually work for you?

[short cave]

yeah

i do it to fix my sleeping before school after breaks\

[sour hamlet]

Alright thanks, I'll give it a try tonight and see how this self torture experiment goes

[violet arch]

[sour hamlet]

Thanks, i'm gonna need it

[violet swan]

I recommend not driving while sleep deprived, its actually super dangerous. Good luck, try upbeat music or something like that if you get too tired

[sour hamlet]

Thank fully i dont really leave the house or drive

[wild grove]

water is really good to drink a lot of when ur doing this since it forces u to get up to pee a lot

[novel whale]

when i need to reset my sleep

since studying makes me sleepy i do it : )

[worthy cloud]

I've tried that a bunch of times

it works for a couple days

[sour hamlet]

👀

Does it only work for a couple days cause you start to get lazy with it or is it because sleep debt finally kicks in?

[subtle flame]

cold shower is op

[worthy cloud]

I think it's because I get lazy

I need to force myself to sleep early

Even if I woke up early

[sour hamlet]

What I hear actually matters is that you leave the alarm on and just wake up at the same time every time NO MATTER WHAT

even if its only 3 or 2 hours of sleep

[novel whale]

ruining your rem sleep is bad

[sour hamlet]

Just dont sleep so you dont ruin it 🙂

[loud plover]

Think about it

Your body needs rest
