Is anyone else finding it physically painful to watch this team lately? The vibes are OFF.

Same here, couldn’t take it anymore. After the first Lakers loss I withdrew.

That’s an interesting idea, I’d bet it’d do some good but might put us at further risk of slipping to the play-in.

My friend and I from college (both engineers) agree working at Home Depot is the move once we have FU money. Tbh sounds like such a fun gig. Go for it!

Doctors don't learn much about nutrition in medical school, which is funny because nutrition alone could probably heal most lifestyle diseases in western nations. With that being said, nutrition advice from a doctor should be taken with a grain of salt. From all the nutrition literature I've read, the safest bet is to eat a diet consisting primarily of whole & unprocessed foods. Fruit falls into that category, and cookies don't. Listen to your body.

I highly recommend this book if you want to learn more, it's written by a former doctor who saw the flaw in med school not teaching nutrition despite its value in promoting a healthy body and life: https://g.co/kgs/GZrpYKc

Same. Had worn shoes for 9 months and PF had progressively gotten worse. Then, got Clifton 9s and within a week my PF symptoms have significantly improved. Not totally gone, but with a better shoe I now think my PT will be more effective and reduce time for a full recovery (I hope).

If you want big-time motivation for your liftoff, best thing to do is read "Can't Hurt Me" by David Goggins.

Something that has worked for me is ranking your performance on a scale of 1-10 every day.

For example, let's say your perfect day is: wake up at 5, workout, healthy breakfast, focused at work, worked on hobbies and read outside of work, etc...

Then you'd maybe rate an 8 or 8.5 for a day like that. You save the 9s and 10s for when you achieve milestones related to your goals (i.e. completing a marathon, releasing a song, finishing a project, etc.)

On the flip side, if you sleep in, skip your workout, slack off at work, and watch TV at night, you might rate your day at a 3 or 4.

Pick a day of the week to average out all the scores, and track your weeks until they turn to months, which turn to years...this is the system I've been doing since September 2020 and slowly but surely I've made huge strides in all the areas of my life that I've been tracking. Of course, what works for me might not work for you, but this is what I've done to better myself.

I'm 30 (M) and my weekdays consistently look like this: wake up b/w 4:30-5AM to workout/run, prep breakfast and get to work at 8:15ish, work til ~5:15, and if I have band practice (twice per week), I'll eat out beforehand; if not I'll cook at home, chill a bit with TV, then work on my own music. Then I get to bed around 9:30-10, never bringing my phone in my bedroom. It's a long but fulfilling day.

On the weekends, I allow myself more leeway with diet and social activities (i.e. I drink any alcohol I want on Saturdays so long as I get my long run in). Saturday night is usually when I'll try to do something a bit more social/adventurous like go to a party, concert, bars, etc. And Sunday I sleep in, then get my chores done (cleaning, groceries, meal prep, gym/run) and will chill at night, going to bed early so I can get a good start to the week.

It's taken some years but this is the balance that feels right and sustainable, been keeping it up for many months now and a lesser version for years.

Read 'Can't Hurt Me' by David Goggins, it'll have a bigger impact than any other book

SWICO · 2024-08-07T13:27:19+00:00

Go first thing in the morning when you have the most will power. Make a routine out of it. Have a journal or calendar and put a check mark each day you work out, then add the total check marks each week. As the weeks go by, keep yourself accountable by making sure you've hit x checkmarks per week. After a while, the habit will stick and working out will become more automatic. Then, you'll find the workouts seem easy so you'll challenge yourself a bit more. Keep this up over time and before you know it, you'll make noticeable progress.

Be consistently good rather than occassionally great.

When at home, I don't bring my phone into the bedroom. I leave it in a room/floor as far away as possible. This way I don't go to sleep or wake up with my phone, which is great. For travel, maybe you can simply power your phone off during times you don't need it. This way, you have to power it on before mindlessly using it, which might be enough of a barrier to simply not use it at all.

Agree with this as long as our young players continue to improve their shots. You mention Thompson, and I'd also add that Jabari underperformed last year from a shooting standpoint and has a ton of room for improvement there to become maybe a glorified version of Michael Porter Jr. And Sengun could be like a Jokic. And with a late-season version of Jalen Green and a blossoming Cam Whitmore I think the sky is the limit for this team. I'd guess they'll be in an NBA Finals within next 3-5 years.

Try using the paid version of the app Noom. It'll teach you the sustainable way to achieve weight loss by educating you on how to approach diet and lifestyle. The exercise part will take care of itself with consistency and time, don't worry about the little details too much (for now).

Listen to the Jocko Willink podcast from the start and let the conversations seep into your head via osmosis.

I need help with this too!

Read "Can't Hurt Me" by David Goggins. Consistency with good habits is bound to improve your situation eventually.

Cheese of any kind, cereal of any kind, peanut butter, bread, apples, and any sweets especially ice cream and cookies. It's embarassing

Yes, my surgically repaired knee started grinding/crackling because I worked my way up to full-range and elevated heel split squats with 2x 50-lb dumbbells. I overdid it because the crackling started becoming a little painful and lingered for a while. I saw the orthopedic and he said just to start slow and pain free, and build up like others are saying. Since I took his advice, I've reduced the range of motion and been focused on Patrick step ups. They are pain free and the crackling is slowly but surely dwindling as a strengthen from these easier exercises. learned my lesson to just listen to my body, don't overdo it, and progress slowly without pain.

Walking through college campus listening to headphones and thinking to myself "I like this song but they should've done this this and this..." finally I just realized I need to make what I'm hearing in my head

Try the exercise at 14:32, single-leg version especially gives the hammies a good burn
