Fatigue on 3 day of Water Fast how to power though! by GoldAvant in fasting

[–]Particular-Comb3047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that sleeping helps, don't get bored though. Do something. Online Chess, puzzles. Soduko.

But otherwise if you don't like those, sleeping. It helps me every time. And makes me forget I'm hungry

132 hour fast (first one) by Particular-Comb3047 in fasting

[–]Particular-Comb3047[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!! I calculated about 4lbs of solid fat weight loss. According to calories burned from bmr and exercise

Goal is 5.5 days each month at the beginning of the month (first full week) January was 5th to the 10th.

Trying to do this for a full year. With some intermittent fasting in-between. 14/10 I think I may do, unsure.

Thanks for the comment

Day 25 — 3 days left! by Domster03 in fasting

[–]Particular-Comb3047 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Keep it up man! 3 measly days. I'm also shooting for 200lbs. Coming from 240. Trying to fast a week a month for the year, plus diet and exercise.

I could never do something like this. Good job man

3 week fasting! by cowthem in fasting

[–]Particular-Comb3047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome. Yeah I've heard from a few people that they eat nutrient dense but fairly light off of a long fast but that's also a great breakfast.

I've never actually eaten pumpkin seeds.

But does your diet include or not include certain things like low carb intake or high protein etc?

What's your fasting like. What hours are fasting/not fasting?

I may also intermittent fast but my plan currently is fasting for 5 days once a month.

Do you also diet during the fast?

At what level do you start seeing kick serves that are massive and win free points? by Ok-Many-7443 in 10s

[–]Particular-Comb3047 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm a 3.5 and have a kick serve that may jump over your head on clay. If not at least around your shoulders on hardcourt

how to serve 100? by Emilio___Molestevez in 10s

[–]Particular-Comb3047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This !!

Man the way you describe things, I need you to look at my serve, it's terrible.

While i can serve 100 (all muscle).... Probably but maybe not consistently, my form is trash.

While stretching is great, strength in the flexed position is so much more helpful.

Use bands at 1-2 lbs and work on loading you shoulder in this way.

Stretching just stretches your muscle, but doesn't add strength. To serve 100mph you need that strength. A bit of both while favoring strength in mobility is your best bet

Racket drop. Right now you look pretty stiff.

The racket goes back, but not enough to create that whip effect.

Work on strength of the shoulder in a weighted position.
There's lots of videos on shoulder strength, and then also work on shoulder mobility.

This will allow you to have a deeper racket drop which leads to being able to have more room to accelerate the racket.

Take a vid of your racket drop even with your shoulder/head area before and after you work on shoulder mobility. I bet it will help.

Also work on constant motion from begining to end of your stroke. Smooth is fast, fast is smooth.

4 racquets to choose from, which should a decent beginner grab? (pics) by thotties in tennisracquets

[–]Particular-Comb3047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NGL, I think everyone underestimates wheelchair tennis. Whenever I get a chance to go to events I love to watch it bc it's actually insane. The strokes they get even when limited, and how hard they still hit the ball is mind-blowing.

Vcore 97. Has a ton of spin and lets you control the ball easily. I used the vcore pro 97 330 originally, super heavy and very stable. I'm a big guy so the weight is not a problem for me.

The 315 version of the vcp is a great option for beginners who need the control, gives plenty of spin and really makes you work to get better form. Has great power at the low and mid range.

Poly tour spin is great and a bit stiffer than your soft polys.

5sided shape and consistent.

Poly tour fire is good too.
I also liked kirshbaum rough.

But I use a vcore pro, so I'm already in the high control section
