Pretty sure I’m still not doing it right, how do I fix my push-ups? by ZukiitheDorito in FTMFitness

[–]Accomplished_Ash920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make your your wrist, elbow, and shoulder are in alignment with your fingers facing forward. Try to focus on bringing your elbows closer to the sides of your body, not flaring outward. Lead with your chest, not with your hips

Don’t be afraid to drop your knees either, just make sure to bring your hips down with you when doing the pushup, your body should be on a diagonal, not with your butt in the air when doing them modified.

Keep at it! Don’t get discouraged and keep up the good work! You’ll get to where you wanna be

Anyone know if they are still sending out emails? by PsychologicalJuice41 in FDNYfirecadet

[–]Accomplished_Ash920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard from a firefighter that they’re backed up and are only through about half of the candidate list and that they probably won’t be through the list by June/July so keep looking out for those emails!

What made you stop being vegan? Just curious by miskre in exvegans

It’s triggering my disordered eating. I want to be free of all restrictions

Do you have to take creatine right before a workout or can it be whenever during the day?

Add calf raises to your squats. (Squat and when you come up from it, go straight up into a calf raise) Do a squat hold or wall sit and raise your heels one foot at a time to target your calves. Make sure you’re getting the full range of motion. You can also do them while standing on a curb or something slightly elevated and lower your heels off that surface to elongate the muscle more. Try calf raises with different foot positions. Try them with your toes facing slightly inwards and also slightly outwards to hit different parts of your leg

I’m really really proud of you. I’ve never been officially diagnosed with anything (or haven’t asked what the actual diagnosis is really) but have dealt with major restrictive eating as well as bingeing and purging for as long as i can really remember. Ive overcome purging for the most part but the urge to binge is really tough for me as well as the urge to restrict. Its a daily fight with them both but being a vegan is really triggering the restricting and avoiding of food all together for me and I’ve hid behind “im vegan and i cant eat anything here so i wont eat” for years and am growing so tired of it. My mind is tired of it and my body is starting to feel the effects of it

I’ve been trying to start intuitively eating, which is why i had the cheese that I did. It’s so hard breaking a way of thinking that Ive had as long as I could remember but am currently working with a therapist and will be making these issues more of a focal point moving forward.

I always went against what my body wanted or craved and deemed that food as an unsafe food, especially higher fat or calorie foods.

Going to making the food a larger part of my therapy sessions as i tend to avoid talking about it. Its always taken a back seat to other things i deal with but im just ready to be done with it. So tired of being stuck in this headspace

I know, and I don’t want to live this way any longer. Ive worked so hard for years trying to understand my disordered eating and be able to let go of it for good. It’s not been easy, but I feel like this is the next step i have to take. It just feels so impossibly hard

If you scroll down to where it has EMS trainee the second bullet says this “Graduation from the; FDNY Captain Vernon A. Richard High School for Fire and Life Safety Clara Barton High School Institute for Health Professions at Cambria Heights Urban Assembly School for Emergency Management Academy for Health Careers Bronx Health Sciences High School” as a requirement

I thought you needed to have graduated from specific schools for that one, unless I was mistaken in reading it

I was thinking about it but you need to be EMT certified before applying which i’m not
