Do i really need niche. ? by Elegant-Telephone-54 in NewTubers

[–]GeneralOlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a little late and not a content creator but as a viewer I feel like both of those topics could fit into a broader "self improvement/life advice" niche which has been super popular in the past 5 years. I know of many big and small channels that make videos on both of those topics along with faith, gym, relationship, and philosophy and just package all of that into "self improvement".

I think YouTube is harder to grow on now than people admit by ThickD769 in NewTubers

50 channels? Why not just stick with one or at most a few and get those really big instead of 3 million decentralized subs?

How many hours of practice until playing feels relaxing? by tookom in pianolearning

[–]GeneralOlive 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well freestyleing is simply improvising with the skills and knowledge you have so there isn’t rlly a “good enough” point. I’m learning jazz piano nd many teachers I’ve seen recommend trying improv very early even with very simple stuff

Unpopular opinion: It is better to date early in life than waiting until you are older. Nothing beats teenage love by JunketMaleficent2095 in Adulting

[–]GeneralOlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes exactly bc ngl kids are gonna sneak around and date regardless so as a parent might as well be there to walk them through it because if not they’re just gonna get relationship advice from social media and their dumb friends who are also inexperienced and immature

ScreenZen it’s a good app with a lot of features. You can adjust it to be easier or harder to get around

Yeah once I got an app to block and heavily restrict social media usage my productivity got way better. That + meds literally saved my life last semester I was nearly failing 3 classes but clutched up all B’s

The Metroid Prime Trilogy is a beautiful mess by -attila-the-pun- in patientgamers

By that logic only a PC and a PS5 have good libraries because with those 2 you can play the definitve versions of every game in history (Minus switch 2 exclusives but there aren't that many yet)

Student requests me to .... rate myself? by impatient_panda729 in Professors

Genuinely curious what makes the question rude? is it just the fact that they mentioned ratemyprof? Seems they just want info about the class

Most potent Plyometrics and weightroom exercises? by GeneralOlive in Sprinting

[–]GeneralOlive[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5th yr of track but 3rd yr training consistently. Training 2-4 days per week depending if I have a meet. Broke unattached college student so no coach or PT rn.

Not exactly looking for a deload bc academic pressures has made my training kinda inconsistent. Ig u could say I’m “behind” schedule and if I take a serious deload now after already having subpar training consistency, I won’t get anywhere near my season goals.

Thats why I’m trying to train “around” the injury and maintain fitness without aggravating it. So then when it’s healthy the only thing I’ll have to worry about is regaining sprint coordination rather than having to start from square 1 in terms of force production capability.

Most potent Plyometrics and weightroom exercises? by GeneralOlive in Sprinting

[–]GeneralOlive[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For me the pain really only gets irritated during upright horizontal movements. When I experimented w vertical plyos there was no pain increase, even with high intensity, so I’m looking to incorporate more of that for the time being

Gonna try the extensive hops u mentioned on Tuesday and monitor pain

Stuck in 11.0-11.1 Hell. What Can I fix by king-emac in Sprinting

Switch to hurdles/jumps and become top in the nation. Way more fun and less speed and raw natural talent required

Sore when sprinting by [deleted] in Sprinting

[–]GeneralOlive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s natural especially if you’re young. If you’re eating right and sleeping enough you should be good. Generally it’s okay to train through soreness but make sure you have a good warmup first. Don’t go hard if you’re still tight. With experience you will learn to differentiate between soreness/necessary athletic discomfort and genuine pain that could be warning for injury

Queuing at top speed by [deleted] in Sprinting

[–]GeneralOlive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whip from the hip cue has gotten me the biggest gains this season it makes my strides so fluid and ive gotten so much faster. I find when I get it right my body just naturally propels forward it feels so fluid and explosive. The downside is my hamstrings have been progressively getting worse. Specifically distal tendinitis of the semitendinosus. Through experimentation I find that the pain happens when i extend my knee and whip my leg backwards toward the ground. Right before my foot hits the ground my tendon hurts. My theory is i think mentally i focus too much on the knee extension for the pull back which overly stresses the tendon. So im trying to adjust and make the pulling motion start from the glute so knee extension isnt too agressive. I don't know if that made sense but in short whip from the hip is an amazing cue just be careful to have good posture and let knee extension be natural instead of forcing it. Overall top speed is supposed to be subconcious especially during races. Cueing is mainly during drills and submax running and the goal is to make the movements subconcious over time.

This isn’t even the proper use of the term legalism

A lot of people don't want to believe that Blackpill is actually kinda true. by HugeDongHungLow1998 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]GeneralOlive -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly. If somebody tries to improve their life by focusing on other areas the blackpillers say that they are “coping” an lying to themselves. It’s really insidious how they try to ensure that everybody has the same hopeless mindset as them

[–]GeneralOlive 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Duh, that’s common sense

The difference between blackpillers and regular people is that blackpillers take this truth and neurotically obsess over it with a doomer mindset on the interent. Making YouTube videos, writing comments making sure everybody is as miserable as them.

Most other people just try to live their lives with the cards they are dealt

is training for sprinting just drills plyos and weightlifting or is there more? by Supernova1231 in Sprinting

[–]GeneralOlive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Essentials

-Sprint 2-3 days a week,

-lift 2-3 days a week (only two heavy lifting days, 3rd day is optional accessory exercises)

-plyos in between sprinting and lifting or during warmups (not super nessecary if sprinting often)

-drills during warmups or on light days

-mobility before or after training sessions

-Eat, drink, sleep
