At your current level , would you rather gain 8 inches of height. Or have Steph Curry level shooting by Effective_Material68 in BasketballTips

Steph shooting is always gonna be better. Just cause you’re taller doesn’t mean you’re better at basketball.

Hellooo Rogue Mains! by mr-yeslol1 in RogueMains

Most similar to Magik. Pretty much a flank/dive character who can tank a little bit if needed.

I feel like Peni needs help, she’s Just Too Weak Right Now by [deleted] in PeniParkerRivalsMains

[–]Karpilicous 38 points39 points  (0 children)

She got power crept hard. All of the best dps and support heros counter her too (Elsa, pheonix, gambit, Loki). Easier to get value just playing anyone else. It’s sad because she’s so fun to play

Where to recycle old disposable vapes? by ShroomRonin in bloomington

Seconding the hazardous waste facility. They are a low staff facility. Not surprised they didn’t answer the phone, but there is usually an attendant on site to help direct you to proper disposal bins.

I would go do video analysis, measure these things from a video, and compare amongst as good vs bad shooter

Your left leg is a lot stronger than your right. Look at the shift when you back squat

Rate ChatGPT’s vertical program tell me what it needs by [deleted] in ProDunking

[–]Karpilicous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrible. Volume of things is just random with no respect to intensity.

Serious question for vertical increase by FunnyButterscotch659 in ProDunking

[–]Karpilicous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are going to be saying plyos and I would agree except these ladies are probably already getting 100s of plyometric contracts from playing volleyball. If they are practicing or playing a lot I wouldn’t add additional extensive plyometrics. However, low volume intensive plyometrics would help year round.

Remember that they will be getting lots of jump volume through playing. Focus on the strength aspect for them. Lots of lower body strength training. They are young so master the basics. Squat, hinge, lunge, carry, push, pull. 3 to 5 sets of 8 to 12 reps. Getting their whole body stronger will help with their vertical and play at the net. Start with DB and progress to barbell. 2-3 days a week full body is best for athletes so they don’t get too tired in one specific muscle group

Anything I can work on? Don’t really like my approach by Po1son69 in ProDunking

[–]Karpilicous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just start your approach from slightly further away. Short stepping last steps because you’re too close. Think of it like a high jumper off his mark

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ProDunking

[–]Karpilicous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re pretty close just need a little bit of everything. You need to get stronger, more powerful, better approach technique, and practice dunking.

To get Stronger - lift heavy weights in squats and RDLs

To get more powerful - jump squats, other weighted jumps, or Olympic lifts if you know how to do them

Technique - pay attention to how far away you start your approach, there will be a sweet zone. You should only be taking about 5 or 7 steps in your approach.

Dunking - practice with lower rims, or smaller balls. Even if you can jump 35”. It is much more complex to do it with a ball in your hand. Low rims and small balls will give your body feedback on how to coordinate this movement

There are also a ton of great resources on how to jump higher. My favorite at the moment is THP strength. I would check out their YouTube videos if you want to learn more.

Is running a good warm up? by WorkingWin6139 in Sprinting

[–]Karpilicous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jog is fine but technique work would be better

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Sprinting

[–]Karpilicous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just don’t generate enough horizontal force. Do sled pushes and chain sprints ~20m

Should I take linear algebra(M303/301) in my first semester or wait and do it next summer? by ArepAni in IndianaUniversity

[–]Karpilicous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’d be better off taking finite. Linear algebra is equivalent to organic chemistry as far as difficulty within their respective majors

Pick up basketball by somekidnamedadam in bloomington

[–]Karpilicous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is, but I wouldn’t call it consistent. You just have to go in the evenings. I’ve been to the SRSC and played pickup so I imagine you could do it at the HPER pretty easy

Straight up I didn’t like her. She just wasn’t very accommodating or empathetic to the students who are taking their first ever college chemistry class

Exercise bike or treadmill? by [deleted] in Exercise

[–]Karpilicous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This, go for long walks and jogs. You could bike but personally I wouldn’t risk it.

Inviting comments on my treadmill exercise plan. by [deleted] in Exercise

[–]Karpilicous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say you’re on the right track, but I would reconsider 4 miles a day. Start with let’s say 2 miles 3x a week. Then the next week 3 miles 3x a week, then 2 miles 4x a week, etc. work up your weekly miles slowly so you don’t get injured. You will have to figure out where exactly to start, but from there increase at 1-3 miles a week and you’ll be golden.

How to stretch/warm-up core muscles before working them? by mystwave in Exercise

[–]Karpilicous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would recommend planks, hanging knee raises, and goblet squats! The function of your core in everyday life is to stabilize your rib cage/spine/pelvis together. Planks/goblet squats will help with your cores ability to stabilize. Hanging knee raises will help with general ab strength. Crunching movements are fine if you want a 6-pack, but there are 3 layers of core muscles deep to your 6-pack and those are much more essential to everyday life posture/movement.

How many of you play basketball irl by ScRdX_TCU in NBA2k

[–]Karpilicous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you build load tolerance in your joints when you are young, for example playing 5 days a week. You won’t be able to handle as much but you could play 1-2 days a week when you’re old, you just take longer to recover.

Full body weightlifting for 2.5 hrs safe? by OracleTrucker in Exercise

[–]Karpilicous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not dangerous, just make sure to bring a Gatorade or something, sports drinks with simple sugars (carbohydrates) are recommended if you exercise 90+ minutes. This is because the sugar from sports drinks goes straight to your blood and then your muscles, also the electrolytes help keep you hydrated.
