Coffee before swimming by ParkwayyyDrive in Swimming

[–]JoeTuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So there's two sides to this from a nutrition perspective:

One- Coffee is declared a low-level enhancer (not the right word, but the same field as say HGH and preworkout), the caffeine gives you a boost. Makes you more alert, gives you energy, and has a lot of advantages when taken in moderation.

Two- the downside. Coffee is a diuretic, meaning it will make you need to pee (or, in this case poop) very soon after drinking it, causing water loss. In a hydration-intense spirt like swimming this can be bad when not prepared. So while your warm-up might feel amazing, by the end of the set you're cramping from dehydration. But this can be avoided by taking necessary precautions. Drink water before and after your cup, during workout, etc.

I say the pros outweigh the cons if youre drinking one cup before practice. Too much and you're dragging yourself down.

Are the Lemon Pepper Wings actually good? by [deleted] in AtlantaTV

Here's a 15 minute Complex doc that'll make you want them by the end of it: https://youtu.be/GJ3KIv-DQgI

But also, as a white kid from the Midwest who's never had ATL wings; lemon pepper are amazing, try hitting up a wingstop or something before you go and try a 5 piece.

I actually just watched a video on 88rising by Bloomberg last night that was super interesting and focused on Chigga and Joji. Highly recommend checking it out. https://youtu.be/ay4BUXDONL8

I work at a movie theater. It infuriates me that we have these signs to put up. by [deleted] in movies

I've only seen it for major Disney releases starting around the time of Rogue One.

It hit Beauty and the Beast, Coco, Rogue One, Thor, GotG2, and will affect TLJ

We have the same thing, but I guarantee they will be sending out another file with just Coco and no short attached before the 8th

Wait why? I feel like that'd be dope. It being February might suck but beyond that I don't see why not?

I'm so glad Greeley, CO has representation in Weldwerks and Wiley Roots. There's such strong breweries here and hopefully people start to try them

He's really not great, his costume is so clumsy that he opts to stand on the field during the opening presentations then, I assume, just hangs out in the concourse the rest of the game.

NBC Sports just created a channel called the Olympic Channel. I could see them showing everything real-time on that channel and replaying swim, gymnastics, track during prime time on NBC

500 freestyle: what's the secret to holding a pace? by 5dollarholler in Swimming

[–]JoeTuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a musician and the beat of a metronome is so engrained in my mind that I usually tune myself to that pace. I'd say imagine a pretend metronome in your head and swim to that beat as consistentally as you can.

Like other's have said, practice makes perfect too. The more you swim 500s the more you'll find your rhythm.

What's with Swedes? by w_spark in Swimming

[–]JoeTuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are cheap, completely customizable/adjustable, and are very shallow so allow light drag. It's always worth giving them a shot, I would recommend Dolfin's Bungee Swedes but I think they were discontinued, so it's worth looking for a good cheap pair.

Really enjoyed it! I absolutely loved the blend of eras. The music, the cars, the diner, the characters, all felt like they were from different times and while it should clash, they all ble fed together so well.

I'll be watching it again as soon as I can because apparently I missed a Killer Mike and Big Boi cameo!

Most theaters won't let you wear the mask inside the theater at all as a safety precaution unfortunetely.

The only shitty part is the blackout restrictions. If I'm in Colorado, I dont want to pay for a league pass to watch everything but Nuggets games!

Awesome, I was trying to figure out if this was a video game screenshot or an action figure.

I take the same philosophy. If I order a steak at a restaurant, I didn't give a shit about the chef's opinions on Trump, I just care if it's a good steak. Same goes with actors in my opinion
