No really I've just been drinking water and some vitamin gummies.

And diet hasn't changed at all?
muted fiber
Water can also make your muscles swell due to them taking it up, as opposed to being dehydrated, this could also be a cause
Are you an adult? Teen?
cedar briar
Teen. About to turn 16
muted fiber
Ah. Dude. You're at the peak of your growth, especially muscle/broadening. I'd say it's your hormones/genetics kicking in, very unlikely the water
Although, you should stick to that water and good diet thing. Once you reach early 20s your body will start storing fat differently, so low junk food and water will make you always lean regardless of working out
cedar briar
Really I thought my testerone would boost up or something but I haven't noticed a thing.

Wdym 'tesosterone would boost up'? It's not something you feel persay

My friend thinks he has abs but he’s just so skinny that you can see his tiny muscles 
pseudo crest
i know how it is
its pure pain as u said
but i didnt have it bc bad posture while gaming
i had it bc i was having bad posture while sleeping
violet swan
Me too

oh
i thought that pain it was bc of bad posture while gaming for u
but is bad posture while sleeping
what u need to do is to move ur neck a little bit to left consistent

Sleeping posture? Hmm I'm gonna Google that never heard of it

Currently a college student drowning in work, also working out, and I can't get enough sleep and its slowly killing me
So my energy feels like it progessively becomes less and less over time

The only thing keeping me alive is my drive and work ethic atm
If i was to slack or procrastinate at all i would just die tbh

oh nice
but u gonna be tired anyways
might as well say fuck it

something good will happen eventually
if not go back to working as much as now

lmaooo
Honestly its really just the schoolwork that drowns me, ive got classes until like 4 every day, then i workout, then by the time i start work its like 8
and ive usually got like 4 to 6 hours of work a night
subtle flame
do you stay up late?
earnest epoch
yeah i do

maybe try going to sleep earlier and then waking up earlier, and doing stuff in the morning instead
if you can
earnest epoch
rarely go to bed before midnight
I have class at 8 in the morning
plus the way i look at it, if there is work i gotta do, im going to lose sleep
Whether it be at night or in the mornign

that is a good mindset tho to keep u from becoming lazy

Lived my last 18 being lazy lol not going back to that

either way
talks about taking naps
over sleeping at night
will give u more energy
read article

ye it is
tbh i do the same as u as a hs student
but not to study
i just watch yt videos
and sumtimes i be dropping a sleep and waking up 20 minutes later
and im full of energy
but I aint try to fully implement naps yet
violet swan
For me working out has improved my aim tbf
@violet swan maybe you just improved your overall health and you feel a lot better so you play better.
mabye
i started working out same time i started aimtraining
so mabye its both
oh well
i mean its prob the aim training
but ye lol
nahhh
its both
working out doesnt really improve your aim
unless you're super unhealthy then you improve health
but if you're like normal weight or a bit skinny and then get buff i dont think it would help you. idk which one you are of those though
earnest epoch
My personal experience with working out
is im more steady after that
everything is more smooth
Its like my muscles are relaxed and more comfortable, without a workout they feel tense
stark oasis
lmao no way I drop caffeine for a polyphasic sleep cycle

Yeah i do feel like I can aim a bit steadier after working out as long as I didn't work my grip/forearms

Yeah, as long as muscles aren't too sore, then it's a bit easier to aim after a workout because it's harder to tense up.

I learned in my weight lifting class today that I need 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day. I weigh like 130lbs for example, so I’d have to take in 130 grams of protein. What about other macronutrients like fats and carbs?
Is there a rule for those?
I’m just curious because I’ve never watched how I eat, so I’m not exactly sure.
That doesn’t seem right to me because that’s like
A ton of protein
I could be wrong, but I thought I would be best to ask here
wraith wolf
No that’s correct, for weightlifting you should be consuming 0.8-1g of your body weight
worthy cloud
Its a little complicated
Depends on body composition and goals
130g a day should be fine
wide whale
Alright that sounds pretty good thanks guys
I had 4 eggs just now, and some Breakfast essentials
What about carbs and fats?
Same amount or different?
violet swan
just ask your weight lifting trainer
he/she prob knows better since they are working with you and see you in person

eternal dirge
I just need this space to vent.
I've been playing Rocket League a lot more, and I admit that I'm not as good as my friends. They have a better understanding of hitting the ball in a specific direction and then making plays based off of that. For me, I tend to whiff some shots and some saves I just whiff. My friends aren't huge fans, to say the least.
Whenever I whiff, I usually get irritated at myself and groan "Oh my god." Of course, they start chirping me because I shouldn't whiff easy shots like that. Sometimes I ask "What was I even supposed to do?" because it was such an odd scenario. In response? I might get called "RETAHDED" and stupid because I don't understand what I could've done better. Even in tournaments; in a plat tourney, we got to the final match, and it was 1-1 on a best of 3. Because I whiffed many hard saves, we lost 1-4. It wasn't fun, and I didn't feel good. They didn't like it either.
Recently, while I got back into a discord call, I heard them talking about me, and they were mentioning about how it's annoying that A. I don't admit shit when I do something wrong(to an extent, kinda true in retrospect) and B. apparently don't want to play good, especially in that previous tourney. Like come on.

@placid bison you might be having some hand posture issues. Evaluate how your wrist is positioned, as well as your arm. Think about anything else you do that puts some pressure on ur wrist
@stark oasis we talked shit out and it was heat of the moment stuff
So far things are alright, they were just chirping and being silly, didnt mean anything personal. so all shit so far between us is aside
I might shift my mind though so I start admitting that I make mistakes, and then use that energy to improve myself

storm plinth
If you're looking for a caffeine replacement that is cheap I suggest getting straight up caffeine pills that are like 100mg of caffeine. Here in Aus they sell under the brand No Doz. They're like 15 cents per 100mg which you only need 1-2 of per day so will work out cheaper than any other form of caffeine.
@violet swan
Your wallet and teeth will thank you
Also I suggest reducing your tolerance levels by simply not having any caffeine on days you're not working

I know energy drinks are bad for you but recently my vice has been red bull in the morning

is it likely that gripping my mouse too tight is causing my wrist pains, I've been maining the viper mini but with my grip and how small the mouse is I feel like I have to grip it really tight to aim well with it, is there anything I can do to stop this or is it better to just buy a mouse better suited to my hand size/grip?
somber tinsel
@fading tree bro so cool haha. That sens is perfect man!
muted fiber
@ruby hawk Buy a better sized mouse before the pain becomes chronic. I insisted I stick with a particular mouse that caused me pain, eventually bought the glorious model D. Made it a lot better, but now than damage is done and I get sore very easily
Literally got on kovaaks after 3-4 days rest, 2 minutes of kovaaks my forearm feels like it's gonna cramp
ruby hawk
Yeah I think I will, I've been doing hot and cold therapy which has eased the pain quite a bit but I think I'll probably just rest my wrist until I can get a new mouse so I don't cause anymore damage
mental drift
violet swan
is there anyway to make myself feel refreshed quick? Does a short nap do the trick
wraith wolf
You can try splashing really cold water in your face
A short 10-20 min nap can also work

Im 2nd restday now still hurts
Doing this rn
Desk was also tooo high (table)
And i gripped mouse too hard
muted fiber
@azure dome I've tried his videos, only helps like 5%. Desk is 100% ergo. Mouse grip yeah could be, do you still grip hard?
azure dome
I loosened grip
But damage was done
On day 1
Kovaak
Super tight
Day 2 super tight
Day 3 loose after reddit search and little sore arm
Day 4 loose
Still little sore
But less then day 1 and 2
Day 5 no kovaak just csgo
Cramp at evening so i decided itz time to rest
Desk is trash i have its too high
I have herman miller chair but a facking table as desk...
So i will fix this
I think its mainly from cramping the mouse
Too hard
In stress for gerting good scores
I learned quick smooth and relax is the key
Glad i found out early to not fuck with this
violet swan
@azure dome try using ice where it hurts
it should take the inflammation away
worked for me
idk if it will for u tho
muted fiber
Is that a temporary fix @violet swan ?
violet swan
my doctor recommended me to try ice if nothing works
and it helped me
thing is ice could be harmful too but it depends on the injury
ig its worth a try ice thru a towel
for like 30 mins
it takes the pain away at least
and it kind of helped me permanently as well
azure dome
Okay
Should i stop gaming altogether and rest or what
Or Should i fix posture
Train 3 times a week forearms and wrist and stretch during sessions of gaming?
I mean can i still game on a bit and put focus on being smooth
azure dome
Its a bit of a burning feeling
In my forearm
I read thar can be a precursor of nerve damage omg
Pain is nerve damage
They say on plebbit :p
Just smoothness routine from what sparky routine?
I dont think i can handle this kovaak rn...
Im gonna get a new desk and when i get it ill start out very easy on myself and stretch every hour

I got that burning feeling too. That's nerve damage?!
azure dome
Dude its precursor

I guarantee new desk and stretch won't help. I have a very expensive setup, nothing is incorrect ergonomically. Still no improvement

Past 2 weeks
For couple months
But had no pain or burning or whatwver

Umm I've had the problem for a few months now. Pre covid was fine. During covid is started to develop being inside gaming more. But now it gets irritated so easy. I've tried everything, standing desk. Vertical mouse. Posture. Stretch. Warmups. Warm room. Nothing helps
violet swan
Maybe your endurance isn't good?
azure dome
Yeah must he a contributing factor also
muted fiber
I was lifting weights 5x a week pre covid. I was pretty fit. That also stopped the same time too which probably didn't help. But scared to pick up the weights again with these pains
@violet swan Endurance in general?

wrist and arm

So I should train these up again?

@violet swan I'll Google it
azure dome
Its so much more to what you see someone do
Its about the torque
How do you brace etc
Intentions
Its easy when you see someone do it like boxing is
But the easier and more basic something looks the harder it is to master
azure dome
Haha
Its similar
I jumped in yet again way too exited
Pushing way too hard
Again
muted fiber
Haha worst thing ever. Going for high scores is the death
I think our gripping firm is doing the damage
azure dome
Yes man
Also in game like cs
Ypu have a lot of breaks
But in kovaak tracking especially
Fucking tense
When i smooth my grip i actually got better highscores
muted fiber
Wonder if the strength training will help us not be bothered by this firm grip. Cos I can subconsciously grip soft in kovaak, but once I get in warzone my hands start crushing like a car crusher
azure dome
But the damage was already done
muted fiber
Oh you're totally 100% right
azure dome
You need to actively focus on relaxing in game also man
I find it hard but its a must
muted fiber
You do the same thing right?
azure dome
I try and i notice i must to keep grinding
muted fiber
So difficult
azure dome
I read up on it the last days
Because of my soreness burning arm
Glad i stopped
Instead of pushing trough
muted fiber
Maybe give it a week/2 rest
azure dome
Yeah and review demos
muted fiber
I came back with better scores after rest
muted fiber
Yeah dude, watching streamers etc will benefit heaps too
azure dome
But your still sore ?
muted fiber
Yeah the minute I came back, sore
muted fiber
About 1.5 weeks. I was really sore, at the same time my computer died, I got the 3090, so I took the time to fix and install and rest
Had 1 day kovaaks and the pain was creeping up
muted fiber
Stopped training. Ordered the glorious model D (light mouse). 6 weeks later it turns up, makes it way better! But still get sore from kovaals
Honestly in kovaaks I don't grip hard
I grip very soft
But still gets sore
azure dome
Oke Also when you split the routine over the day?
azure dome
Well i would say its not bad becauze its a burn/irritation
But from what i read
Its bad apparantly
Only in the extensor
Near elbow
muted fiber
When you say burn, do you mean like that feeling when your forearm muscle is about to cramp?
azure dome
Not in my fingers or wrisr
muted fiber
Or literal fire burn feel?
muted fiber
So yours is elbowish? Mines like if you look at your own palms, then look down to your forearm muscle, it's there
Hmmmm numb... Can't say had that
That sounds a bit worse
azure dome
Yeah i need some rest
I dont know
If nothing helps.id advice going to a physio dude
muted fiber
You're right. Just so hard working full time and side jobs etc
muted fiber
Have you been to one?
azure dome
No
Im not worried enough
If my self help does not work
Ill go
Time limit 2 weeks

im not sure, you can try getting a wrist rest

@gritty crest which ergonomic aspect are you looking for?
support for your palm? distance between mouse and keyboard?

I dont wanna pay 120 for a small keyboard
Like a ducky
One hand keyboards are very cheap
Compared to that
So right now I tilt my keyboard

get a womier k66 or if you actually have ducky money to spend, get a leopold maybe a fc660?
ducky is ridiculously overpriced if your getting it for 120

@muted fiber feeling better already a bit sore from training but not burning anymore and not numb
Want to dive in but ill refrain
muted fiber
@azure dome Interesting. Might be the relief from blood flowing to the muscles/general area. Yeah good idea, don't rush. Too early to tell. Don't confuse instant relief for the solution (as you'd know anyway)
I also paid attention to my death grip on the mouse today. I grab it quite firm. Hard not to without losing accuracy
azure dome
I will, you have to man loosen up
"More relax Your hand is, better and quicker your aim will be. Slow down in Kovaak, set the scenarios to almost to slow, train Your muscle memory from smooth fluid movements. Speed the game up gradually. Think actively about your arm being relaxed.
Good Luck!

Yeah the blood flow did some.work

Does anyone ever have problems with their forearm getting hot and sticky to your desk cause it really messes up my aim when I’m aim training and forearm just starts getting hot and starts sticking to the desk making it hard to move my mouse
muted fiber
@azure dome Interesting. I'll try this. Smoothing sounds like a good idea. So you're using those grip strength things? I always thought they were bad for you haha
@warm flare Get a bigger mouse pad and rest your forearm on that (although ideally you should be resting the forearm on the bench anyway, it hinders aim imo). Otherwise get a sleeve, makes it slippery

summer verge
I stretch my body, wrists and do eye exercises every day before aim training but for the last couple of days my eyes started burning and watering. I do not want to, but seems like could be a good idea to take a couple of days of. What do you folks think?
@violet swan first of
the fuck are eye exercises ?
secondly
just like when focusing on anything with your eyes
espeically with something like gaming where you are close to monitor and your eyes are perma heavily focused on smth
you automatically start to blink less
its only natural
so ofc your eyes go dry
hence the watering
get eye drops or w.e
other thing that damages your eyes is blue light
can get glasses to counter that, or take breaks or use this windows night light setting
violet swan
@summer verge set of eye moves to strengthen muscles that move eyes. Looking right to left, up and down. Focusing on a pen and moving it closer then farther etc.
worthy cloud
It is good to focus on things further away from you every so often
Eye excersizes are fine
summer verge
Never heard of those
lul
one of those over specific things
actual usefullness probaply is rather hard to dertermine
worthy cloud
I just try to make sure I don't stare at something close to me uninterrupted for too long
summer verge
but TLDR: while gaming eyes constantly focus on monitor which is close to face > resulting in blinking less so eyes go dry @violet swan
just use eyedrops
if that doesnt help, the other thing causing eye burning is prolly excessive blue light exposure
in that case take breaks and fix monitor settings
muted fiber
I can vouch for the night light setting in windows. I just leave it on 24/7. That blue tinge really affects you

So I've lost 20 pounds in the past 2 months. Started working out a few times a week, started eating less/went on keto for 4 weeks. I started at 213, now I'm at 193. My problem is now that I don't have an appetite during the day. I'm not sure if this is normal, or if I developed some type of eating disorder.
I've had 1 meal per day the past 4 days.
Smaller portions of food than I'm used to eating.
Granted I didn't move from my desk all day and I take multivitamins

Have u ever herd people that fast for a week
The first 3 days are hard with the hunger but as the days go on the hunger gets less and less
violet swan
I don't think it's a good thing
keen estuary
It’s a bad thing when u don’t eat
worthy cloud
Deficit is too big
keen estuary
And it’s a good thing cuz u won’t over eat
worthy cloud
You should force yourself to eat a minimum amount of healthy foods
keen estuary
Yea
violet swan
how many calories
worthy cloud
There are a lot of things that may affect your hunger levels
keen estuary
2k to maintain the same weight
worthy cloud
No
violet swan
I can't eat 2k calories rn
keen estuary
Your body burns 2k a day
worthy cloud
There are general rules you can use to estimate your total daily energy expenditure
Eat 2-300 calories below that
keen estuary
@worthy cloud he works out tho
I would say 300 below if he don’t work out but he does
worthy cloud
Depends how much fat he wants to lose
keen estuary
Yea
That’s why I said 2k if he want to maintain his weight
@violet swan want to become buff
violet swan
Once I lose enough weight
worthy cloud
If you eat enough protein and eat just under your maintenance calories, you should be able to pull off some recomp instead of just fat loss
Especially if you have noob gains still available
Takes a more precise diet though
muted fiber
Yeah what these guys said ^
Do not do extreme fasts like you're doing, you'll shock your body to go into survival mode and it store fat a lot easier. You should be eating a little less than your maintenance calories. If you do it faster, there's been studies that prove you can permanently reduce your metabolisms and forever out on weight/fat easier. Don't be silly about it. Exercise at least every 2 days. Eat reasonable. Don't eat simple sugar where you can. Eat small frequent meals throughout the day, it's like keeping a little fire burning as opposed to dumping 600 logs on a matchstick.
Finally, your lack of hunger is stemmed most likely from not eating at breakfast. Very unhealthy, eat breakfast and eat small throughout the day. You don't want your blood sugar dipping down all the time, keep it levelled out
I don't know 1 person who solely eats healthy food and says it's easy to reach their calorie goal. If you eat what you're meant to, it's hard as hell. Try eating 100 carrots a day instead of 2 chocolate bars
(not literally carrots, just an example)
worthy cloud
It is hard for sure
At one point last year I was on a 3300 calorie a day diet plan
All chicken, white fish, broccoli
Oatmeal, egg whites
I couldn't eat it all

thats why, rest your wrist and get an ice pack wrap a papertowel around it and ice your wrist 10 minutes at a time throughout the day
and take a couple of days off playing so you dont injure yourself more

@muted fiber i tried some csgo and still hurts a little, im going to skip kovaaks now and fix my posture (had elbow on desk because it was too high, waiting on my new desk to allow elbows at side posture)
Played half hour deathmatch only, on the table with my elbow at side, uncomfortable for legs and could just barely get my hand 15 cm over the table to mouse
muted fiber
@azure dome Thanks for keeping me in the loop man. I just had a thought, ever since I got rid of my standing desk the problem has been worse. You should get yourself one of those electric adjustable ones
Hmm that's not good
I'm also in a bit of pain today. Played cod last night a few hours and suddenly out of nowhere it flared. Cramps in forearm and mild pains/aches
Going to rest as Empyrean mentioned

@worthy cloud assuming my hand thing is tendon inflammation what would be the proper treatment?
muted fiber
@azure dome Might not be bad, but personally my wrist would be so much worse moving my arm that much
wraith wolf
Oh right! Do you have any working methods to quickly lose the death grip habit? I find I can play light, but the second I go in warzone and start sweating it, I subconsciously start death gripping when I'm getting rushed/shot at
@muted fiber
I moved the convo here in the appropriate channel so we can continue talking about it, as far as that goes you just have to be conscious abut it and actively remind yourself not to when you catch yourself gripping your mouse hard
muted fiber
@wraith wolf Thank you. Sorry for wrong channel. Okay I'll try being really careful.
wraith wolf
Absolutely no worries, please come back if you have anymore questions. If your pain never resolves you might want to consider making an appt to get the proper care from your physician since they can do a proper diagnosis and pin down specifically what's causing the pain

When i do aim training i'm having arm pain i dont know why but my upper arm is aching after 5-10 mins of aim training in kovaaks, but when i'm playing csgo/valorant i'm not experiencing arm pain.
I can't do training on kovaaks because of it. I want to get better but this problema is stopping me. Idk what the problem is. Anyone here experience this too before?
thorny dew
are you tensing up a lot?

what kind of scenarios are you doing? does it only hurt when doing tracking/smoothing?

are you tensing up a lot?
@thorny dew No

@wraith wolf thingauleteasy only i just started but in aimlabs i do the gridshot and its hurting too.
muted fiber
@hollow vector Stay away from gridshot in aimlab. That crap destroys your arm/hands and you don't get any better at aiming with it imo
Awesome. Kovaaks is worth every cent

@hollow vector Stay away from gridshot in aimlab. That crap destroys your arm/hands and you don't get any better at aiming with it imo
@muted fiber oh really why?
muted fiber
It's a ridiculous amount of clicking in a very short time. It doesn't really challenge your precision, tracking in anyway. The switching is very small and easy. But you'll give yourself RSI in about 5 minutes, so it really ain't worth it man
silent osprey
build arm/hand strength and dexterity
dont need to get ripped or anything, but building some muscle and doing proper stretches gets you a long way as far as avoiding pain/damage
muted fiber
Really? @silent osprey Have you benefitted from this exact scenario yourself?
silent osprey
yes
its not entirely preventative of course, but as long as your actual ergonomic situation isnt appalling, it's generally a good idea
muted fiber
Understandable. Even perfect ergo hurts my forearm
I'm hella sore atm from gaming. Taking a few rest days. Is it a bad idea to do a forearm workout today?
silent osprey
mm if you're still sore, dont do it until you feel better at least
muted fiber
Okay thank you
hollow vector
build arm/hand strength and dexterity
@silent osprey Thanks for this, what kind of stretches do you do?
silent osprey
uh
i just freeball it because i have a good understanding of hand anatomy stuff
i mostly had issues specifically with hand stiffness like a week ago, but prior to that it was just whatever i came up with
better to look up some good exercises if you want broader stretch stuff
hollow vector
It's been 4/5 hrs since then and i still feel a little sore on my upper arm. i tried kovaaks/aimlabs for about 20/25 minutes. I hope that it will heal later when i woke up. Anyway thanks again i will try research on stuff like that.
muted fiber
@hollow vector When you say upper arm, do you mean around your bicep?
remote dagger
hi, im having pain on my pinky and ring finger and spread to the forearm, im using a claw grip on the model o minus, this doesnt happen in the past when i used to play overwatch, i've only been experiencing this problem since i started aim training like 3 months ago and i thought the pain would just go away, but this thing is really killing me. Where should i put my pinky and ring finger on the mouse to avoid this kind of pain
mortal ledge
your hand position might not be the issue @remote dagger as I imagine you've defaulted to what feels most comfortable with your hand shape and size. You probably haven't gone out of your way to distort your hand and cause these feelings
I'd wager your issue probably stems from gripping too hard or just failing to warm up & stretch out your wrists/fingers
muted fiber
I can second that. Read the convo above and you'll see me having the same issue. @azure dome Today I did a forearm workout light. Iced it a couple of times. Playing right now with REALLY light grip trying not to death grip and seems to be okay. My wrist still is puffy though
azure dome
Nice job man i also did the workout again with 5kg olympic dumbells. Im feeling better but hell no fucking kovaak in the meantime. I had some good game after i aplied the aim style of n0thing https://youtu.be/PLvBQx1g1qA
I still feel a slight burn which started in yesterdays morning when i changed posture and let my elbow tuck in side and float. When i rest my elbow its so much better. Also i try to limit wrist motion as seen in the video! @cuttermy forearms are getting thick. I also did some chinups 3 sets of 8 for more bloodflow.
Today i only feel little tingle
@muted fiber
And i do pushups during the day 3x20 reps or something alternating days
And the grippers
4x20 reps each hand
Today a rest day yesterday i played like 5 games of csgo
And stretching before in between and after sessions
@hollow vector how arw you doing?
Flexor or extensor pain?
muted fiber
Haha fuck yeah man
Sounds like we'll make it out of this
I also removed my chair armrests so I can get closer to desk and higher

velvet viper
When im playing more stressful/competitive games, regardless of the temperature in the room, i get very very cold to the point where im shivering in my chair, and that doesn't exactly help with aiming
anybody have this issue?
hollow vector
Thanks. I will just a buy a new chair and fix may may posture and do stretching and all that. The chair i use rn is an old office chair medium size for me i got from my grandma. I'm 6'1 so its not covering my whole back and sometimes i get backpains too.
violet swan
I get cold too
frank turtle
why does my arm start hurting after doing kovaaks after 5-10 minutes? Is it just because im weak or does it have to do with my posture, I feel like my posture is good but idrk
quiet lark
Sinuhe are you doing large movements during kovaaks?
frank turtle
I do routines such as Air, Ground Plaza, PatTargetSwitch, etc. i guess those could be considered large movements, I also have a pretty low sens at 64cm/360
Although I don't feel like it would be normal for your arm to be hurting after doing any sort of arm movement for 10 mins
frank turtle
It starts around the tendon on my elbow and slowly moves up towards my arm, it is more of an ache than a sharp pain.
violet swan
is it normal when my wrist goes up when going to the right during tracking scnearios
muted fiber
@wraith wolf What's your opinion on chair arm rests? I just removed mine as I find they're so annoying and really doubt the benefit of their ergonomics
wraith wolf
It just depends how you’re positioned at your desk as long as your arm/elbows are resting on the desk comfortably at 90 degrees you’re okay I don’t use my arm rests neither but my elbow is supported by my desk @muted fiber

Do you still maintain straight back/proper ergo with elbows on desk? I have to lean in

Salmon is full of Omega-3, a fatty acid known to be highly beneficial to the brain—Omega-3 provides more oxygen to the brain, and allows us to retain new information, while still remembering old information. The best fish to eat for brain health are salmon, tuna and herring.
Would this mean that u can learn faster when u eat salmon
worthy cloud
It means if you're not getting enough omegas your memory and learning ability can suffer
And a salmon is a good source of omega 3
I take supplements for omegas
wraith wolf
well said, I also take some fish oil capsules it helps with inflammation too

I couldn't work out for a month because of my wisdom teeth removal, and right after that I got corona symptoms. I'm completely healthy now, I started working out again this week. I lost around 4 kilos, because I couldn't really eat. Measured my weight when I became healthy after 1 months of feeling bad, and measured it now, and I am 3 kilograms heavier (from 55.4 to 58.4) , and my body fat (probably not accurate, because this is just an electrical shock kinda scale or whatever it's called; from 7.4 to 8.4%) also increased. I know this should be natural. I was actively working out before the month I couldn't train. So my question would be what is a "good" muscle to fat gain ratio, and if it is even possible to gain 3 kilos in less than 2 weeks. (My body also looks a lot better right now than before I got my teeth removed)
worthy cloud
3 kilo in under 2 weeks if you were under eating and probably dehydrated is reasonable
you're probably not 8.4%, those scales can be very off sometimes
gaining between 1 and 2 kg of fat per 1kg of muscle is reasonable
maybe more if you're coming back from time off
@worn sonnet
the quickest gains you'll ever make are coming back from time off
worn sonnet
Yeah, I came back after having 1 month off
And before that I was working out quite a lot
Thank you for the quick answer
worthy cloud
also the ratio of lean mass to fat that you gain while bulking is usually related to how quickly you're bulking
the higher your caloric surplus is the more fat you will gain
but also the more muscle you can gain
violet swan
should i drink milk to help learn faster?
worthy cloud
I think milk is a good source of omegas I guess
I've seen some with added omegas somewhere too
mellow turret
Yeah and studies have shown that people drink milk do better academically, so I think it helps with your overall brain health
In terms of learning better aim I'm not sure. I think drinking more water would be more helpful
mellow turret
Yeah true don't use it as a substitute for water
worthy cloud
that's fine
mellow turret
So uh my question might be more difficult to answer... I was doing really well in aim training and updated most of the scores to diamond, but after I took a 30 min dinner break I could feel my aim is off. After dinner is around the time my prescribed Adderall wears off. What does that mean in terms of my improvement? Am I actually improving or am I just performing better bc of drugs?
Cause so far the only thing I notice after taking Adderall is nausea lol. I just hope I don't have to take medicine to get to the next level
Kinda weird long and specific so anything is much appreciated :D
worthy cloud
It's complicated, I was actually prescribed adderall in university too, haven't used it in a couple years though
I do think you're improving even though you're on it
But once it wears off you're burned out
Probably best to discuss any concerns with your doctor
I used to take less than the amount I was prescribed and only when I had a really rough day ahead, trying to not rely on it
mellow turret
I told my doctor he just told me to keep taking it which is sketch
Feeling nausea for 3 days straight
Probably gonna take it with food and see if that makes a difference
Thanks though. Really hope that I don't need to rely on meds. I was so happy that I am improving quickly then the realization hit me hard and made me kinda depressed. This helped a lot
muted fiber
@azure dome So I continued playing and not resting. But being really careful and grabbing the mouse super soft. Got really painful so just stopped and iced it. I'm going out drinking the next couple of days so I'll use that as wrist rest
Really hard to heal the damage though with a bloody desk job :((((
azure dome
Fucked up man..
I also game on but also feel a slight tingle still. I did some very light grip work and i started incorperating this excersize. Ill complement my training with this: 3x30 sec hangs 45 degree 1 handed each 3x30. https://youtu.be/7kTNk3qEuLM
See where it leads me
Think i have this
Generally, people think to ice their ailments to relieve the pain. However, ice relieves inflammation, and as previously discussed, inflammation is not the cause of pain.
Therefore, ice would not help this condition. In fact, icing the affected area may prolong the healing process.
Heating the area increases blood flow, thereby increasing oxygen and nutrients needed for recovery. For an overuse tendinosis, heat is more helpful than ice.
@muted fiber
muted fiber
Damn. So you're saying don't ice it. I'll heat pack it then
muted fiber
Apparently it's best to ice it for the initial 3 days, then heat thereafter for tendinitis
mellow turret
@worthy cloud performed the same without Adderall today, so I'm glad that my performance isn't completely based on it
worthy cloud
Nice
mellow turret
Still have the nausea though rip
mellow turret
True
worthy cloud
Take it with breakfast, never empty stomach
mellow turret
I'm drinking a lot water just isn't eating nor feel hungry
Well I didn't even take it today
Probably gonna wait til the weekend and test things out still got some coding hw and headaches are not really good friends with hw
But yeah I will take it with more food, thanks for the advice
Really appreciate it

tardy bronze
recently started fundamental aim routines, takes me like 1:30hr and around the same time i noticed relative weakness in my aiming arm, my mouse grip kinda loosened and my aim overall dipped. and im not sure if this started before the routines or after but what could i be experiencing?
tardy bronze
i do a bit more of other tasks too
my right hand feels a bit weaker than my left one, grip wise.
violet swan
how would you know both hand?
@tardy bronze you're thinking too much, give it atleast two weeks before forming any thought
aim training is literally just what you do in-game, but more
so if you had no problem in-game, this shouldn't have anything weird
tardy bronze
my mouse control ingame has definetely changed, its loosened
tardy bronze
i thought of the same thing but maybe other precautions i could take. i use primarily wrist aim and low sens.
i grip it kinda firmly, not too much
violet swan
@tardy bronze try to keep it as relaxed as you can for now, we subconsciously use more strength then we feel, so consciously try to loosen your grip to counter it. See if the problem keeps going.
tardy bronze
loosening it messes with my aim, so i guess i have to adapt to this grip, maybe decrease my sens too
@violet swan thank you for the response
violet swan
Lately i've been having forearm pain, probably the radial nerve i can feel it aching almost all the time and it gets worse if i rotate my hand forward and backward
it came after i played vox TS for like 10 mins and tensed too much
left glade
It goes away. You probably dont use those muscles much
@tardy bronze I think you're holding ur mouse too hard. A good way to test is binding m1 (shoot) to space bar. If your hand doesn't hurt as much after it means you are gripping too tight
That's all I can think of
hasty granite
hey guys I get a lot of tension in my hand from tracking for more than 1 min, usually have to take a 30 second rest which makes me a bit shaky. I stretch at the end of the day and do a lot of grip exercises at the gym. is there anything I can do, I feel like I have a lot of tension in my hands.
i started using spacebar today to see if that can help with the tension
probably good to mention I only feel this when im in Kovaaks and not in my main game
muted fiber
@hasty granite Everything exact same thing as you. Do you death grip?
@gray osprey Just clickbait. Use glasses/blue light glasses if you wanna help your eyes imo
@azure dome I had a friend ask their physio about my forearm/wrist pains. They advised I immediately stop gaming/using the mouse at all and to go see a physio. I will do that and let you know. Apparently only they can diagnose exactly what to train to fix the issue, as Google searches is a dangerous path which can mislead you down more damage. Id suggest you do the same if you can, don't want this becoming permanent
gray osprey
@muted fiber do u have any evidence other than speculation? the video was recommended by this guy (who is not necessarily credible either): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRDtU1PQ8Eg
i have used that video and experienced the benefit of curing dry-groggy morning eyes
and that is about it
well
i experienced more than that but could have been placebo
he claims he experienced improvement after consistently using but he as well could have just been making a clickbait video
muted fiber
@gray osprey I studied science for a year in college, so I'm more likely to believe more credible sources such as articles/studies. YouTube videos are often unreferenced and opinion based from the YouTuber making it (which could be someone no more knowledgeable than you or I). My second point is, usually videos that have stupid images like the eyeball one getting brighter or this guy's laser eye beams are to make people click it.
What you're describing sounds like a placebo of an improvement from your eyes being tired just from the morning as opposed to your standard vision baseline
His anecdotal experience for his own video is questionable as a source. But feel free to try it out and see how it performs
gray osprey
i have; and as i said i did experience some minor benefits, but that also could have been from taking a short break from the screen and drinking water while i did those exercises
muted fiber
Agreed. Just a heads up really
gray osprey
if anyone else could provide their opinions as well, would be appreciated!
@muted fiber do u know of any eye exercises that are legitimate?
i used to take breaks and go outside and look at something far away for ten minutes
that seemed to help
but it could be as simple as just taking a break
muted fiber
Good question. No exercises persay, but taking breaks every 20 minutes and drinking water is a huge one. Also keeping at a healthy distance from the screen and having appropriate room lighting make a huge difference

@azure dome Stopped playing games + kovaaks completely. Forearm/wrist still in pain. Going to see a physio this week. This isn't good.
I really feel like kovaaks needs to highlight the dangers of aim training in their game/app. Just using it has pote tially put me at risk of unemployment if this problem turns out chronic
Not blaming anyone but myself. But a little education and warning on using kovaaks before you start (without having to dig into Reddit/discord) would save a lot of people some serious pain
mortal ledge
Probably not a bad idea
In the same way Valorant warns about the issues it may cause for people prone to epileptic(?) fits, a small message when opening the game at least recommending stretches or something might not hurt
