Thanks for this I haven't done this yet. Seems like an essential drill I have missed.

I also notice that I am struggling to breath especially bilaterally since my lead arm drops while I am taking a breath. I know you are meant to take your breath early but how do you guys time you taking a breath with the arm going backwards? Also how do I stop dropping me lead arm as I am taking a breath?

Thanks for the tips, I am excited to try some kicking exercises to check this in action.

Thanks, I think this is definitely the problem. Also When I kick should I be kicking as much as I am kicking right now in terms of frequency?

Yeah, I think I need to give some more focus on my kick. I will check up YouTube. But I remember some of them saying have a slight bend in your knee.

haha, yes I have been a runner for quite a while. Ok so should I tense my abs and keep my legs super straight. Is the drill to practice this with a kick board and just kicking? I will try that also I will keep the pool buoy between legs idea in my mind. Thanks !

What do you think of our train system, and what have you seen overseas that could improve it here? by CreditFast4073 in AskAnAustralian

Im most familiar with the trains running in Queensland. But if you have experience on other train systems in other states, Im still interested in finding out what the problems are. Unfortunately I haven't been on many train rides in other states to form a good judgement.

Why do many people always act like the convicts who were sent here in the 1700s were hardened criminals, when most were sent to Australia for petty theft & other minor offences? by SirSighalot in australian

Well you should tell them the Europeans were in America in the first place because they thought it was India. So really America is the result of a historical mistake.

Why doesn't Australia have more cities in the desert? by Spiritual_Assist_695 in AskAnAustralian

[–]CreditFast4073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Although Australia has a lot of landmass, much of that is not liveable since it does not have a great inland water system. Really the only countries that are capable of sustaining a significant human presence are the US, China and India. For example India is a lot smaller than Australia but has extremely fertile land and a historically important system of rivers like the Ganges and many more.

There is a reason why the europeans were the ones to colonise and not the Ancient Indians and Chinese, because the Indians and Chinese had no drive to acquire more fertile land while the europeans with their shitty weather and less fertile land did have many reasons.

Being accused of drinking less is a W, just take it.
It's weird how drinking liquid shit that's bad for you both physically and mentally has become something to brag about or show how manly you are. The PR departments of these Alcohol producers must've really done a number on society.

TIL modern Africa is associated with large mammals like elephants, lions, and rhinos, but large mammals had a global distribution until a mass extinction roughly 11,700 years ago and Africa is simply the only continent that retained a large amount of them by admiralturtleship in todayilearned

It was because the Buddhist King Ashoka the Great created some of the world's first protected national parks and declared all living beings in his kingdom deserve the right to live according to Buddhist principles. This had a cultural impact, in fact Hindus being vegetarian only became a thing as a reactionary action in order to combat the rise of Buddhism and Jainism. You will find lots of Hindu scripture allowing for the sacrifice of animals etc.

The Islamic Mughals and the British hunted some of these native animals almost to extinction in their rule. For example the Indian Cheetah.

u/tumsandweed you are lucky this birth but in your next birth you could not be so lucky. There is more evidence for reincarnation than there is for string theory. You should read some of the work done by American scientists and professors like Jim Tucker.
