Im so used to the glide ability of the hard mouse. If I get one that’s on the medium side would that reduce the pain

worthy cloud May 10, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

just stick mousefeet on your hands WAYTOOSMART

violet swan May 10, 2020, 3:50 AM

median vigil May 10, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

What

worthy cloud May 10, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

the pads on the bottom of the mouse

#

that help it glide

#

sorry I was just messing around

median vigil May 10, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

Oh

worthy cloud May 10, 2020, 4:17 AM

#

I'm not really sure what to say about your mousepad irritating your skin

#

other than maybe adjust your grip

#

you could potentially try one of those artist gloves too or something, I know I've seen at least one person who games with one

zenith rapids May 10, 2020, 6:17 AM

#

eh personally didnt like it

zealous pivot May 10, 2020, 6:18 AM

#

There's not really any hard and fast rules when it comes to mice tho

zenith rapids May 10, 2020, 6:18 AM

#

yeah true

zealous pivot May 10, 2020, 6:19 AM

#

Just pick a mouse that's good build, sensor, weight, and comfortable to you

#

It's really just an abstraction

zenith rapids May 10, 2020, 6:19 AM

#

yup

#

and u gotta see how the feel is

Anyone know any super basic but good hip + chest stretches?

violet swan May 10, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

there are a lot that are based off floor stretches. try searching on youtube @ebon thicket

ebon thicket May 10, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

Yeah I went through shitload of videos on youtube that claim to be for "beginners" then they proceed to do fucking splits

oblique elbow May 10, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

Yea bro just put legs to the side it's easy

violet swan May 10, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

takes time i guess

#

do it to the best of your ability

violet swan May 10, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

So i have tremors in my hands and it kinda hurts my aim, what would you guys recommend doing

icy portal May 10, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

you are probably tensing too much

violet swan May 10, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

no i have tremors

#

im not tensing

#

like say i put my hand up in the air my fingers shake

icy portal May 10, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

oh

#

well mh, in this case i would consult a medic tbh

#

like, your hand shakes 24/7?

violet swan May 10, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

idk i also have tremors

#

just sleep more

#

idk

#

be more healthy

icy portal May 10, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

because if its not 24/7 its a consequence to bad habits/lifestyle

violet swan May 10, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

im not really sure\

#

i would have to figure that out

pine widget May 11, 2020, 12:31 AM

#

Should i use f.lux

#

it reduces blue light

violet swan May 11, 2020, 1:40 AM

#

i just use night light @pine widget

#

its built in

zenith rapids May 11, 2020, 2:00 AM

#

me too

grand sundial May 11, 2020, 2:12 AM

#

Ive been able to reduce my reaction soeed from 250 to 210, if i continue to live healthily will i be able to lower it more or is that up to genetics

worthy cloud May 11, 2020, 2:14 AM

#

you will be able to get lower

grand sundial May 11, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

this is the fastest ive ever been kinda weird to me

nimble palm May 11, 2020, 3:47 AM

#

is 180 ms good for reaction time ?

#

oh cool

#

i do both

#

can you lower it ?

#

whats a good number to go for

#

that’s realistic lmao

#

alright, how do you train for that lol

#

or it just happens naturally

#

alright

#

alright, i got basketball training later so il do cardio too after

#

ty ty

#

oh also

#

does it slow down with growing or what

#

oh like height

#

or is that just some boomer talk

#

alright rad

#

because i saw this thing where the taller you get, the slower your reaction time gets

#

ah great

#

thanks

dusk grotto May 11, 2020, 4:07 AM

#

i'd say 25-40% improvement in reaction time is generally achievable

nimble palm May 11, 2020, 4:16 AM

#

by doing what

#

aside from the previously mentioned ?

Does weight/bmi effect rt? Quarantine got me a bit heavier than usual

sturdy forge May 11, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

bro if ur thinking about it that hard just give it up just play the game men

violet archBOT May 11, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

GG @sturdy forge, you just advanced to level 4 !

violet swan May 11, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

health and reaction time are indeed correlated, but a few more kilograms during quarantine should have no noticable impact on your reaction time compared to normal lol

#

if you think that hard about it

#

idk

#

ye just play the game

queen sail May 11, 2020, 2:21 PM

stone dawnBOT May 11, 2020, 2:21 PM

#

VRT (visual reaction time) can be improved by adopting a healthy lifestyle and diet

dusk grotto May 11, 2020, 4:22 PM

#

@nimble palm it's a complicated thing that you really shouldn't overthink or worry about. general principles include: adequate nutrition, lifestyle choices, physical activity and such. after these are in check, keep in mind that practice is the most important. a reaction is a chain of events from sensing the stimulus, processing it internally and coordinating the movement/action. some people are more gifted than others, but the fastest reactions times are people who refined this (and often without ever consciously doing so). it is generally lots of fast FPS games and/or sports over many many years. it is a slow process

nimble palm May 11, 2020, 4:45 PM

#

thank you for the insight, also is it weird that my volume in game is absurdly low. i can still hear everything needed but its just super low. i try to keep it low so that i don’t destroy my ears.

#

like 20 windows and 5-10% in game

dusk grotto May 11, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

i do the same tbh

zenith rapids May 11, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

yeah im the same

#

idk how some people leave that shit high asf

#

hurts my head

zealous pivot May 11, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

Yep, I usually have everything low too

#

My in-game is about .08, something like that

#

Youtube is set to like 25%

#

my dac is at 40

nimble palm May 11, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

thanks for the validation, i thought i was insane

#

i only increase it when i feel like tryharding

plain solstice May 11, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

ok guys, what do you think about stretching before gaming?

icy portal May 11, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

It's a good thing to do

#

Especially if you suffer from a arm pain or wrist

violet swan May 11, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

does green tea help reduce shaking

pine widget May 11, 2020, 10:53 PM

#

Hey Im using night light right now on my computer, is it good to use during the day or is it bad, can it ruin the peformance of my gameplay making me more tired.

lavish pivot May 11, 2020, 11:04 PM

#

Reduce shaking, no. What sort of shaking? Blood sugar low from not eating? Or because you're just unsmooth. Depending on how caffeine affects you it could make u more jittery. @violet swan

#

I think it defeats the purpose of night light. Its suppose to come on at like 7pm right? So the blue light doesn't fuck your sleep up.

I don't think it effects performance in any way. Although idk much about how colour difference affects monitors. U could always do the UFO test on google. See if stuff changes.

But honestly I wouldn't worry about it.

#

@pine widget

queen sail May 11, 2020, 11:18 PM

#

wait shaking can result from low blood sugar?

#

that actually makes a lot of sense now

zenith rapids May 12, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

yeah i shake a lot when i’m super hungry as well

#

but once i’ve had a nice meal i’m steady at

#

af

queen sail May 12, 2020, 12:17 AM

#

yea I dont really experience that hunger thing

grand sundial May 12, 2020, 12:32 AM

#

I only shake with high amounts of caffiene

#

usually from energy drinks

latent ginkgo May 12, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

i only shake if i drink energy drinks on an empty stomach

#

drinking after a meal is fine though

#

does anyone here know much about trigger finger? i think i have it on my right ring finger

little holly May 12, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

guys any tips to fix the sleep schedule?

nimble palm May 12, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

get hella tired

#

before sleeping

#

and stop doing anything that you have to think about

#

like gaming or whatever an hour before sleeping

#

then throw some yt vids before 9 pm

#

and fall asleep at 9:30

#

thats what works for me

zealous pivot May 12, 2020, 5:08 AM

#

kinda controversial, but pull an all-nighter the night before

#

so you'll be tired the next night

green furnace May 12, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

That is too risky

queen sail May 12, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

Yea thats the best way to fix a sleep schedule

#

But it only really works if u dont need to be accountable for anything

green furnace May 12, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

Ye

queen sail May 12, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

But on the note of shitty sleep schedules

zealous pivot May 12, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

Yeah, basically...it sucks having to go to work/school the next day

queen sail May 12, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

I think sleeping 4-5 hours/night during the week and 9+ hours/night on the weekends

#

Is not very healthy

#

Which is what I currently am doing

formal lotus May 12, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

queen sail May 12, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

There is worse

#

Def

zealous pivot May 12, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

and don't take sleep-aids

#

unless it's meletonin

queen sail May 12, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

Melatonin bad, unless you know it actually helps you sleep. Otherwise kinda a waste to buy

zealous pivot May 12, 2020, 5:13 AM

#

wat

#

wdym?

#

oh gotcha

queen sail May 12, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

Bad maybe not best word

zealous pivot May 12, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

seen your edit lol

queen sail May 12, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

But

#

It doesnt help me sleep

#

Just makes me feel like shit

zealous pivot May 12, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

I don't really feel that

queen sail May 12, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

So its kinda like person to person basis on how much it helps

zealous pivot May 12, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

ZZZQuil definitely makes me feel like shit the next day

queen sail May 12, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

Any type of medicine that is “nighttime”

#

Usually feels awful

zealous pivot May 12, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

Yep

queen sail May 12, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

Since it just makes you feel super drowsy

zealous pivot May 12, 2020, 5:16 AM

#

Diphenhydramine HCI is usually the main ingredient

queen sail May 12, 2020, 5:17 AM

#

Melatonin prob the best supplement for assisting sleep, but if your body already produces enough and you take it, it kinda just feels like shit (and in my case had no affect on helping me actually fall asleep)

zealous pivot May 12, 2020, 5:17 AM

#

I think it's also the main ingredient in Benadryl

queen sail May 12, 2020, 5:17 AM

#

But ive seen ppl who get like instantly knocked out from melatonin after like 20-30 mins

#

So you know, can be very nice I imagine

zealous pivot May 12, 2020, 5:18 AM

#

That's me

#

that shit knocks me out

#

but in a good way

#

no negative side effects

grand sundial May 12, 2020, 6:05 AM

#

Ive taken melatonin here and there, it doesnt affect me anymore

cedar vector May 12, 2020, 7:06 AM

not really imo

violet swan May 13, 2020, 12:26 AM

#

Room too bright, it takes your focus out. Room too dark, your eyes will get tired really quick. @little holly

#

it makes your eyes work really really hard

#

when lights change rapidly

@violet swan I understand thank you ❤️

how often should i do a reset, like stretching and drinking water

#

what should be in my reset

latent ginkgo May 13, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

how long do you play for on average?

median vigil May 13, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

daily? monthly? hourly?

latent ginkgo May 13, 2020, 2:41 AM

daily

median vigil May 13, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

1-4 hours

#

video games

latent ginkgo May 13, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

take a 5-10 minute reset every 1.5 hours or so and see how it goes

#

i usually reset after 2 hours

#

everyone is different though

median vigil May 13, 2020, 2:42 AM

#

what should be in my reset

latent ginkgo May 13, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

i just get away from my setup and walk around a bit and stretch my fingers and what not

oak orbit May 13, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

you should just drink water periodically throughout your gaming sessions

median vigil May 13, 2020, 2:49 AM

#

yeah ofc

oak orbit May 13, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

i tend to stretch my arms and wrist between games while in q

little holly May 13, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

do you know exercises and stretches for fingers?

violet swan May 13, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

@little holly pins

#

2nd one

violet swan May 13, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

Right now my eyes feel like they're unable to focus properly (not fuzzy vision) on the target and my score seems to be getting worse. Anyone know how to avoid this?

mellow epoch May 13, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

@violet swan I experianced this when I was playing for extended times. I found taking breaks every hour (or as needed) worked for me. I also just invested in computer glasses, and am interested to see if that helps.

violet swan May 13, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

Thanks. I'll try taking a break or a nap or something

#

One more thing, whenever I'm just playing my elbow always tend to feel really stiff. it doesn't have much of an impact on my scores, but it's extremely uncomfortable, also no matter how much I stretch the muscles in my arms, whenever I do a map 3-5 times they start to get really tense and it feels uncomfortable and shaky

#

Like my muscles right now feel really tense and stiff

violet archBOT May 13, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

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

violet swan May 13, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

@violet swan when you say balance out the light for some reason thats confusing me

#

does that mean have the screen bright and the room bright

#

or if the room is dark have the screen more dimmed

#

?

#

@violet swan make the brightness equal

#

if your screen is bright make your room lights bright but a little dimmer than the monitor (in the dark)

#

its all preference because everyone has different eyes/tolerance

violet swan May 13, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

@violet swan alright cool thank you

#

np

violet swan May 14, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

You guys know what to do when your tilted? I've been trying to do my routine this whole day, but I'm performing miserably compared to yesterday, and I've tried to do my routine two more times today, only to get tilted again. Should I just not continue and go again tomorrow? Or what should I do about it?

queen sail May 14, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

take a break

violet swan May 14, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

just played a game of Valorant where I wasnt playing my best so I was already mad at myself

queen sail May 14, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

also if you get repeatedly tilted doing something, maybe you should just stop doing it

violet swan May 14, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

and then one of my teammates started shit talking

#

so I was really pissed

#

I just took a break and meditated

#

basically what aljo said

#

take a break

#

Yeah I've been taking breaks and coming back and shit

#

but I get tilted when I come back due to me performing bad

#

yeah I understand

#

I know how to untilt after a bad performance

#

I'm just doing a lot worse then I did yesterday

#

but I don't know how to untilt like mid game

#

right untilting mid game is tough

#

yeah and its needed alot of the time to bring back close games

#

yep

#

But if I keep getting tilted from Kovaaks should I just stop for the day?

#

What game are u using Kovaaks for?

#

if any

#

Rainbow Six,

#

Overwatch

#

Valorant

#

have you played any actual game today?

#

well not actual game

#

but anything besides Kovaaks

#

yeah

#

did u play poorly in that as well today?

#

I've been playing r6 with OW with my buddies trying to avoid kovaaks

#

I played really poorly today in r6 and OW as well

#

hey man maybe its just not your day

#

yeah

#

be easier on yourself

#

I was thinking that and something is probably just off

#

you have to accept both highs and lows

#

if you focus too much on the highs the lows hit harder

#

Damn man

#

that shit is way too relateable

#

its like grades

#

yeah exactly like grades

#

I used to be a straight A student and then I started playing rainbow six LOL

#

getting a C hit hard lmao

#

yeah

#

Anyways man thanks for your advice

#

Hope tomorrow goes better

queen sail May 14, 2020, 3:34 AM

You likely want to crease your hand to a certain extent

I tilt my arm slightly, yet not so much it makes my aim worse

Not sure if this is the correct channel but I was wondering if anybody had any tips on how to keep a positive mindset?

icy portal May 15, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

Well just don't care about others and see every bad play as an opportunity to self critic and analyze yourself

#

So if you lose think what did you do wrong and if someone tries to start an argument you just ignore him or say sorry and move on

Been tracking and target switching for like 1-2 hours straight. My arm feels pumped like i was in a gym. I did another 10-20 minutes of smooth tracking and started to feel pain. I immediately stopped. Can that lead to injury? What is that? Overtraining? Would appreciate any support.

can lead to injury probably

1-2 hours straight of constant aiming is a bit much

beacuse if you are strong enough all other doesnt matter that much, i mean some people are saying you have to be flexible or so, but then what? :D if I can do splits... and then what

#

tips for tension in the collar bone area when gaming?

violet swan May 17, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

The most important tip is to sit upright:)
I guess you are leaning forward a lot, there are couple of muscles connected if you put some weight on some of them more than it was supposed to be, there can be these tensions, so the most important thing is to sit upright, comfortable
Also drink so much more water, because tension can be explained as slow blood, I mean if blood flows there easily, body will overcome the problem itself, but if it is flowing slow, especially because you are sitting long ours, and not drinking enough water, it will be cause of some of the tensions in your body

#

Also of course i cannot know for sure, but your back muscles might be a little weak, if your free times can you do some pull ups with a desk or chair, it will help in time, if you want i can find some videos about it

icy portal May 17, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

yeah thats what i did as well thnx

dense furnace May 17, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

Flexibility is very important in powerlifting and if you lack it you won’t generate nearly as much force as you would otherwise

violet swan May 17, 2020, 6:32 PM

#

@dense furnace Actually I am not on the same boat with you mate. Yeah that is the general knowledge, but for example, for squat, if you can do the movement, that is enough. No needfor further flexibilty or any extensive work.

#

I mean even some of the Olympic lifter doesnt even stretch, they just warm up with lighter weights, and thats it

#

this was at first called german method, but then russians as well used that, and the resulsts were better indeed

#

i mean of course if you cannot do the movements in a proper way, you need to work on that, but other than that, its unnecessary

dense furnace May 17, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

It’s been reported for years now that doing the you’re warming up for at a lighter intensity is a much better form of warmup

violet swan May 17, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

exactly

dense furnace May 17, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

And what type of squat are we even talking about

violet swan May 17, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

olympic, low bar squat mostly

#

at least, i was talking about it ^^

dense furnace May 17, 2020, 6:35 PM

#

Well most people don’t have the flexibility to do atg so I’d assume anyone who can has decent enough flexibility

violet swan May 17, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

of course!! the full range of motion is the limit, if you can do the movement in a correct way, thats enough. I was only against the people who only does strething like 2 hours a day, wth is that :D

dense furnace May 17, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

but in general for every exercise you want a decent level of flexibility because you shouldn’t be feeling tension simply from the movement itself

violet swan May 17, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

sure, I cannot agree more

dense furnace May 17, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

but yea too much stretching is bad

#

But I feel like only yoga people do that

violet swan May 17, 2020, 6:37 PM

its meaningless, i mean what kind of person need to do splits in daily basis

yes the first step is to take a break, if it continues consistently then you need to understand what causes it, then solve it

Should I train my aim when I'm not feeling it?

violet swan May 18, 2020, 8:56 AM

from what others said, probably not

#

imo yes, because it is not about feeling the moment, its about consistency. You may not push as much as other times, but not doing anything at all is not that great. You can do like half of what you do in regular basis.

restive trellis May 18, 2020, 9:14 AM

IMO, if you are not feeling it, don't do it. It's a sign that you are not enjoying it, and if you do not enjoy it, you may stop soon. Take a break, maybe train less often or for shorter sessions.

latent turtle May 18, 2020, 9:19 AM

Ok then. I'm waiting for my new pc right now so I'm converting from low fps to high fps. My routine will change too since I wasn't able to play deathmatch because low fps. So, do you think a 1 or 2 days break a good idea for that transition?

#

GG @latent turtle, you just advanced to level 5 !

restive trellis May 18, 2020, 9:27 AM

Taking breaks is a good thing when you have no motivation to do your training. I wouldn't consider it when changing routine or PC.

latent turtle May 18, 2020, 9:31 AM

#

Ok, so should I just keep doing what I'm doing?

restive trellis May 18, 2020, 9:38 AM

#

@latent turtle I feel like you are trying to find an excuse to take a break. Maybe I'm wrong but that's how I see it. Maybe you put too much pressure (like training everyday) and you have no motivation left. And that is OK. You don't have to train everyday to get results (that's my opinion). And it's better to train 3hours a week for 15 weeks than 21hours in 2/3 weeks (again, that's what I think). Just take a break when you feel like it, you will get better results. You can even train less often or for 30 min instead of 1h, find what you like. Because when you enjoy doing something, that's when you get great results and don't need so much energy and motivation to do it.

icy portal May 18, 2020, 9:46 AM

#

thing is, if you have valid motivations to take breaks do it

#

if you are just lazy

#

dont take a break

#

if yuo want to see improvements that is

#

you can also quit no one is pointing a gun at you

latent turtle May 18, 2020, 9:47 AM

#

I just want to know which path is the most effective y'know. Is taking a break to "recharge" myself so that I can fully focus on training more effective than consistent training even though I'm not fully focusing? Cause I've heard that if I don't enjoy the training, I won't improve but I've heard that consistent training is the most effective way to improve

icy portal May 18, 2020, 9:47 AM

then you are just lazy

Maybe because for 2 hours a day?

#

People have different views on this. I told you how I think, but I also know most people go with the NPNG way and would tell you "if you are not injured, you should train". But I think it's bad in the long run cause you need a lot of motivation to do things this way, and that leads to mentally overtraining.

more hours dont mean more improvement

Like could you grind 4hrs a day, sure, but if that causes you to fatigue and have to take breaks then you’re prob better off just doing 1hr a day

icy portal May 18, 2020, 9:54 AM

you feel guilty doing only 1h

but then you want to take breaks

#

isnt it better to keep constantly 1h then taking breaks?

Like could you grind 4hrs a day, sure, but if that causes you to fatigue and have to take breaks then you’re prob better off just doing 1hr a day
@dense furnace ^

restive trellis May 18, 2020, 9:55 AM

Maybe take the time you don't invest in training to do other things. PLay the game you like, read, do some body training... Find something that makes you feel good.

dense furnace May 18, 2020, 9:55 AM

Especially cause there’s diminishing returns the better you get so don’t feel like you need to catch up to other people

I don't want to take a break but as I said, is taking a break more effective in the long run? Because I heard that if I'm not fully focused, my training will be not as effective

dense furnace May 18, 2020, 9:56 AM

#

Well personally from the coaching I got from serious he seemed to emphasis breaks because unfocused training isn’t really training

#

I kinda view aim training as weight training where once you reach that point where you are fatigued continuous training has no benefits

#

It may even be detrimental

latent turtle May 18, 2020, 10:00 AM

#

What I'm trying to say is, is taking a break does more benefit rather than consistent but unfocused training for 2/3 days @icy portal

icy portal May 18, 2020, 10:00 AM

#

no

latent turtle May 18, 2020, 10:00 AM

I don't know to phrase it, hope you understand what I'm trying to say

icy portal May 18, 2020, 10:00 AM

#

taking a break is good when you hit a plateau or you arent in condition to train

#

not because you feel like it

#

if you feel lazy take a break but thats not a good motivation

#

you will probably feel lazy the day after and the day after that too

dense furnace May 18, 2020, 10:02 AM

icy portal May 18, 2020, 10:03 AM

#

ofc on evening its harder, the whole day has passed

#

you should train in the morning/afternoon

dense furnace May 18, 2020, 10:03 AM

#

It might be you’re already tired from working out

latent turtle May 18, 2020, 10:04 AM

#

Wake up, eat, shower, play, train, badminton, eat, shower, play, train, sleep

#

Not working out my bad

#

I feel more focused on night though

icy portal May 18, 2020, 10:04 AM

#

night accumulates all your activities

#

therefore youre most likely tired

latent turtle May 18, 2020, 10:04 AM

#

I wasted too much time arguing in the internet, a bad habit I'm still trying to break

#

I don't know about that but I do feel more focused on night. Training wise at least

dense furnace May 18, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

Does aim training feel like a chore ver?

latent turtle May 18, 2020, 10:05 AM

#

Cause I train on evening and night

#

I have mixed feelings about training

lapis summit May 18, 2020, 10:06 AM

#

A fella I respect a lot online has said that discipline is simply recognizing that you don't have to feel good about something to do it. That you can do something, knowing that you'll feel better after having done it.

dense furnace May 18, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

Yes and no

#

There’s physical limits and diminishing returns

latent turtle May 18, 2020, 10:07 AM

#

Thanks though

dense furnace May 18, 2020, 10:08 AM

When you’re most focused and prepared for aim training

#

And go all out

latent turtle May 18, 2020, 10:08 AM

#

Will do, thanks

dense furnace May 18, 2020, 10:08 AM

Then don train again for the rest of the day

Question for you guys, I've heard that a popular style of aiming is to "float" the arm over the desk, in order to reduce friction. I am curious as to whether that would also reduce carpal in the wrist, forearm pain, etc.

#

I play 34.97cm/360 if that would effect the answer.

dusky magnet May 18, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

I think it might be a bit worse for health to float it over the desk

#

you're putting extra pressure on yourself

violet swan May 18, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

yes, wondering this as well, will the pressure on the wrist cause more harm?

also how bad does sleep affect aim
@trim meteor a lot

#

you cant concentrate neither have precision/reflexes to aim if you sleep few hours

zealous pivot May 19, 2020, 9:38 AM

#

Sleep can pretty much affect every aspect of your life

#

Poor sleep = Poor functioning

#

That includes your aim performance

Come to think of it, there should be an in-depth guide on how to get better quality sleep

zealous pivot May 19, 2020, 9:47 AM

#

There's much more to sleep than just that, though

trim meteor May 19, 2020, 9:48 AM

#

i lose 30-60 mins of sleep to grind before bed of kovaaks or shooting range

#

then end up with 6 hours

zealous pivot May 19, 2020, 9:48 AM

#

Yeah, definitely don't do that

trim meteor May 19, 2020, 9:49 AM

#

#

I just wanna grind and be good

icy portal May 19, 2020, 9:49 AM

That's just useless

trim meteor May 19, 2020, 9:49 AM

#

alright I’ll stop doing that

icy portal May 19, 2020, 9:49 AM

#

Grinding while asleep or while your eyes are not focused it's just a waste of time

#

Better take a break and do it later

zealous pivot May 19, 2020, 9:50 AM

Yep, agreed

icy portal May 19, 2020, 9:50 AM

You won't perform good anyway and will just get frustrated

ye I guess better to do it earlier not sacrifice sleep for aim training

#

@icy portal your wrist always touching pad comment, you said if you don’t do that it’s a bad habit?

Sleep and just general overall health should take priority over clicking some dots lul

@icy portal your wrist always touching pad comment, you said if you don’t do that it’s a bad habit?
@trim meteor yes

#

You won't have stability if your hand is not on the desk but in the air

#

Not counting that your muscle will get tired faster because you are tensing them in the air

trim meteor May 19, 2020, 10:11 AM

#

don’t float forearm either then? and thanks

#

@zealous pivot ye true makes what I do sound dumb when you put it that way

zealous pivot May 19, 2020, 10:13 AM

#

Just looking out for you 👍

icy portal May 19, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

i mean not having your arm on the same surface/floating cant possibly give you balance

trim meteor May 19, 2020, 10:16 AM

#

@zealous pivot appreciate it

#

@icy portal I meant arm at the edge of the desk, mine feels like there’s a lot of pressure there even tho everything else is fine

icy portal May 19, 2020, 10:18 AM

#

its just you putting pressure

#

almost everyone puts their forearm on the desk and elbow outside of it

trim meteor May 19, 2020, 10:24 AM

ye it turns into my pivot point instead of elbow sometimes, that much pressure

Hi guys, recently i feel pain in my wrist when I flex(?), for example when I do pushups, any health advice for it?

#

It's not because of my mouse for sure, because I move mouse with my right hand, maybe It's because of keyboard and my wrist position on it

#

But for now, what can I do at home to make it better?

Hi guys, recently i feel pain in my wrist when I flex(?), for example when I do pushups, any health advice for it?
@mossy minnow first of all, which wrist, or both

#

if it's not the wrist that its connected to the hand that hold your mouse then its not related to it

#

if its both then you probably overworked while working out

mossy minnow May 19, 2020, 12:01 PM

#

only left wrist

#

but my keyboard is too high so i think this is the reason

icy portal May 19, 2020, 12:07 PM

#

yes could be

#

also try to place a bit of forearm too even for left arm

mossy minnow May 19, 2020, 12:09 PM

#

but for now, i should try these exercises carefully right?

violet swan May 19, 2020, 12:10 PM

#

why not, can't do harm

icy portal May 19, 2020, 12:10 PM

#

i think that if it hurst badly/medium you should stop for a bit

#

if you mean your workout

#

id also stop stretching since its purpose is to prevent not cure

Wrist stretching is a good way to prevent carpal tunnel however you are not immune from it

Im feeling/hearing (idk I think both) some weird noises while moving my shoulder, while tracking for example WHAT IS THAT?

like crunching I think

#

just sometimes tho

lavish pivot May 19, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

it means you'r dying

#

jk. idk man, is it when you externally rotate? I'm no mathematician but perhaps shoulder mobility stuff can help

thorny dew May 19, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

what is externally rotating

#

Its when I do the tracking left and right movement

lavish pivot May 19, 2020, 6:03 PM

#

like moving your aim arm away from your body. like if you keep your elbow by your side and rotate your forearm out

#

idk. Perhaps take a look at your shoulder mobility and see if thats the problem. maybe you're too stiff idk

thorny dew May 19, 2020, 6:04 PM

im gonna try when it is occuring wait

#

its when my arm is static and im only moving my wrist

lavish pivot May 19, 2020, 6:09 PM

I'm no expert okey, but my joints used to crunch but I fixed it by taking vitamins and stretching/strengthening etc

maybe look up what vitamins are good for joint/bone health etc

same as stretching exc and strengthening exc

Tips for consistently being more relaxed?

#

I do breathing and it works but I can't really keep relaxed consistently

crude blade May 21, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

So this is only my second day using an aim trainer and I can already feel my wrist starting to burn. I've only been practicing for about 20 minutes so far today and already I have to take breaks because I'm worried about my wrist. Is this normal? And is there anything I can do to help it? I've been consciously trying to not grip my mouse too hard and it seems to be helping somewhat, but I still feel like my wrist is either really weak or I'm doing something wrong.

gleaming basin May 21, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

@crude blade stretch before aim training and take breaks in between I would recommend doing 1 or 2 maps in the routine and then take a break for a minute or 2

civic sedge May 21, 2020, 6:34 PM

#

@crude blade what sens are you on and how are you aiming

#

like with arm or wrist only or what

crude blade May 21, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

@civic sedge I play on 0.6 1600 dpi in Valorant, so thats what I have my Kovaaks settings on. I would say I'm mainly a wrist aimer, but for really long flicks I do use both arm and wrist

#

but definitely predominantly wrist

queen sail May 21, 2020, 6:40 PM

#

that is extremely high

#

also do the wrist stretches that are in pins

civic sedge May 21, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

is that ~13.5cm?

#

yes wtf

queen sail May 21, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

yes

civic sedge May 21, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

idk then

crude blade May 21, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

@queen sail yeah it is relatively high, probably because I had a smaller mouse pad growing up and was almost always wrist aiming, so I had to have a higher sens. Now I'm so used to it that lower sens are really really hard for me

queen sail May 21, 2020, 7:01 PM

#

I mean not relatively, it's just high

#

for any game it would be high

crude blade May 21, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

do you think lowering it would help? I just feel like anything lower makes my flicking so slow

#

and like I said I don't use my arm a lot when aiming

jolly kiln May 21, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

lowering your sens probably would help. it will take some time to get used to a lower one because you'll be using different muscles but in the long term it should help both your health and your aim.

When you first start aim training it's important to work on cleaning up your technique, stuff like keeping relaxed

queen sail May 21, 2020, 7:06 PM

#

building speed isnt very difficult, especially on lower sensitivities. Also lowering will likely help you a lot

jolly kiln May 21, 2020, 7:06 PM

#

people under-estimate how intense aim training is. think about how much time you actively spend aiming in a game compared with 20 mins of aim training.

queen sail May 21, 2020, 7:06 PM

#

you are probably over tensing to try and be smooth/precise with your sensitivity and that is what is causing your wrist issues

crude blade May 21, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

Okay thank you both. I will lower it to 0.3 and see if that relieves some of the stress

violet archBOT May 21, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

GG @crude blade, you just advanced to level 1 !

queen sail May 21, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

the reason you wouldnt have the issue normally is you arent actively aiming in game for the most part compared to aim trainers

#

you could try .25 if you dont want to exactly half ur sens

jolly kiln May 21, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

+1 @queen sail people tense because they lack the precision to do it relaxed. when training you need to build up your 'relaxed' precision. then you won't have to tense anymore

queen sail May 21, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

that would be ~32.5 which is generally considered a good sens (tho still a little high for val)

jolly kiln May 21, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

I agree, try that. it'll feel super slow but you can either just stick with it or go a couple cm higher after a few days to get a bit of a faster feel back.

crude blade May 21, 2020, 7:10 PM

will do. Thanks again guys!

so stopping wasn’t too hard

#

i also rarely ever got buzzed so that prolly also helped

i mainly did it cause i liked the flavors

#

for some reason i couldn’t get buzzed for shit

only with like 70+ nic but those were harsh af and hurt my throat

scenic lintel May 22, 2020, 3:11 AM

There's no substitute for a real heavy workout

Gymnastic rings

#

Are kinda op for building strength its weird

#

I did alot of powerlifting and then used gymnastic rings and my overall strength went up way faster while using rings regularly

worthy cloud May 22, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

I can see that

#

gymnasts always have big biceps too

zealous pivot May 22, 2020, 10:29 PM

#

I mean you can get decently toned just from calisthenics

#

Like just regular bodyweight stuff

#

But if you incorporate weights with them, your gains will be much higher

eternal dock May 22, 2020, 11:07 PM

anytone ever get scm tightness when aim training?

the muscle thats in your neck that connects to your collar bones

Corona is a myth propagated by Dos Equis prove me wrong

simple birch May 23, 2020, 2:54 AM

#

@eternal dock yeah because rings train a lot more muscles than using weights

#

Includes way more stabiliser and accessory muscles too, that wouldn't get trained with weights

#

That's what calisthenics is good for

eternal dock May 23, 2020, 2:55 AM

yeh they're nice

i understand it just trying to get other people to try it :p

can anyone tell me signs of overtraining?

eternal dock May 23, 2020, 6:22 PM

as far as the gym or aimtraining?

#

if gym just look up on yt, if you mean aim generally your aim will get really bad and you'll tense up alot

#

pain etc

mystic otter May 23, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

Overtraining is very difficult if you’re getting adequate food and sleep, granted you have a decent routine (assuming you’re talking gym)

violet swan May 23, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

I'm always a bit apprehensive about exercising and then doing aim training, as I don't want my arms being sore or tired to have an effect on my ability to aim. Is this something to worry about? Or if I am going to exercise I should avoid exercising my arms.

@little holly i use the lumbar support but not the neck pillow

dull trail May 24, 2020, 5:55 AM

@violet swan it's not really an issue after you get used to it

#

after a month or a few of consistent weightlifting soreness goes away really quickly and there isn't any DOMS

#

and for proof that weightlifting doesn't harm aim just look at pashabiceps

I had a theory

little holly May 24, 2020, 7:06 PM

guys do you have any exercise routine? I want to do exercises since the gyms are closed in this quarantine but I don't know where to start

grand sundial May 24, 2020, 7:06 PM

#

HIIT home workouts

#

high heart rate the way to go

lapis summit May 24, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

Depends. HIIT causes different heart adaptations than steady state cardio and ideally you need both.

grand sundial May 24, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

^^^ also very true

zealous pivot May 24, 2020, 7:36 PM

Yeah HIIT isn't for everyone

#

Best that you develop a routine that works well for your body and your goals

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:04 PM

#

@maiden frigate there’s really no such thing as bodybuilding on rpe 10

maiden frigate May 24, 2020, 8:07 PM

#

@dense furnace why not?

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

You’re really not entering hypertrophy after 10 reps

maiden frigate May 24, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

Dude

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

Also ur prob not under tension long enough for if ur only doing 10 reps

maiden frigate May 24, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

You know what rpe means right?

#

Tut is a myth

#

Btw

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

LMAO

#

My man said time under tension is a myth

#

I’m shleep

maiden frigate May 24, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

tut doesnt matter if your rpe is high enough

#

so

#

yeah\

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:10 PM

#

False

#

And u can have high rpe and only do 3 reps which is shit for growth

#

But typically no one cares about rpe above 10 reps

maiden frigate May 24, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

sure 5 reps on rpe 9/10 is enough to grow

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

Lmao maybe if u wanna grow into a twig

#

5 reps is great if ur strength training but shit for growth

maiden frigate May 24, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

ok

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

Reason why Phil looks as good as he does but is weak af because he only ever focused on hypertrophy

maiden frigate May 24, 2020, 8:13 PM

i dont have time to educate

every powerlifter is a twig because you say so

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

Look at Larry compared to Andrew lol

violet swan May 24, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

I think strength training is the way. No real strong people is really thin. So why hyperthropy i dont know

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

And Larry is prob more roided than Andrew

maiden frigate May 24, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

genetics dude

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

And then look at Larry next to a real bodybuilding even if retired like Jay

maiden frigate May 24, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

and i dont know if you are educated enough but powerlifters take different drugs than bodybuilders

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

@violet swan usually you’ll do strength training on ur main exercises and then hypertrophy on accessories for powerlifting, or strength train then do a year just for growth

maiden frigate May 24, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

and different doses

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

Google Greg doucette

violet swan May 24, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

Im not talkong about the drugs mate. Yeah that block were a bit ex ideas. Its a bit changing :) in future if you are not bodybuilder it will be obsolute imho

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

And you’ll put on mass for powerlifting

#

But not a lot compared to actual bodybuilding

violet swan May 24, 2020, 8:18 PM

#

I spinted pro for 4 years and lifting for 15 years and if you can pull 180kgs of deadlift you cannot be thin and you dont need to put mass as hyperthropy. That was what i was talkin about

#

Im not experinced in early years btw.

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

Thin is subjective

#

If u have an ffmi under 25 I think ur thin

violet swan May 24, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

I dont know. I really dont care about the look i guess :) just love the deeling of these heavy weights

#

After some time really couldnt care less especially after 30

maiden frigate May 24, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

for a natural bodybuilder it doesnt matter how you train unless you are training hard enough on at least rpe 7/8. If you have no time, rpe 10 is ideal for hard and fast bodybuilding work. thats it

#

4/5 sets on rpe 10 means 6/7 sets on rpe 8

violet swan May 24, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

I see, i am really newb anout bodybuilding :)

maiden frigate May 24, 2020, 8:22 PM

if youa re doing 5+ reps

violet swan May 24, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

Ah you guys also use rpe! I didnt know

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

U do the same thing natural as u do on steroids

violet swan May 24, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

U guys using steroids?

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

Only thing that may be affected is recovery time

#

Nah

maiden frigate May 24, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

check Mike Israetel he has plent of info

#

or eric helms

#

nope

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:23 PM

#

Lol they’re telling u to bodybuilding on 5 reps

#

Honestly anything less than 12 reps is suboptimal

#

And those should be 12 controlled reps

violet swan May 24, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

I guess ive never did more than 10reps

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:25 PM

#

If u did a month of just doing sets of 15-20 slow and controlled you’ll see how much bigger you’ll get

#

You can also throw in half reps at the end for increased time under tension

violet swan May 24, 2020, 8:26 PM

#

I am 187, and 110 kgs i really dont wanna get bigger :)

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:26 PM

No such thing as too big XD

#

But I feel you

#

I think I might just wanna compete in classic so I don’t have to be open big

violet swan May 24, 2020, 8:27 PM

Sonpoor you. There are 2 kinds of them. Compalining and crying ones. Mostly girls

#

And the ones who loves to design, whom family or frineds never see them :) i was one of these

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:33 PM

#

I’d rather take complaining over crying tbh and what got you into architecture

violet swan May 24, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

I love to design mate ive always loved drawing :) so it was the obly option for me. So easy. Ive never complained as well because it was my@choise

#

So how much do you bench bro! Haha

#

Do tou try to inceease the lifts?

dense furnace May 24, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

That’s cool im one of those people who always appreciate art and design but has no skill for it lol and before quarantine 395

#

Funny enough I wasn’t strength training that was just from the extra mass I got from doing sets for mass

violet swan May 24, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

oh i guess its like 180 kgs, really nice mate!

#

i str train like for ever and i can only do 205 before quarantine, my all time best was 215

#

kgs i mean :)
