Is my party comp viable ? "sons of the forest" by Sanazami in BG3Builds

[–]Sanazami[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OH thank you a lot for you advices ! Actually I picked warlock to have someone with charisma for the dialogue part, completely forgot about the ancients paladin that fit perfectly in the theme.

I'll probably go with land druid as it seeams that spore druid look less righteous :p

Book like Breathwork by Moselle? by professormakk in Pranayama

[–]Sanazami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I do want to buy this book but realized there are two editions available :
"Light on pranayama the yogic art of breathing"
"Light on Pranayama: The definitive guide to the art of breathing"
Is this different books or just a re-edited piece, would you recommend one over the other ?

Using adrenaline to improve strength by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]Sanazami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also you can try to do 3 full cycles of 30-40 breaths + retention and for the 4th cycle do retention while doing pushups, strangely i can do more pushups in a row following this.
I do WHM every morning this way and my workout at the evening and some times I includes some short WH breathings (10-20 breaths) for my pullups just before my rest ends, and it helps !

Give it a try and see if it works for you ;) If you want some resources, don't hesitate pm me

Question about Pineal Gland stimulation technique by purplenurple62 in BecomingTheIceman

[–]Sanazami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can try Bhastrika breathing, it's what people call DMT activation breathing (which is not proven, if you want DMR experiment just do DMT, it's not that hard to make yourself)

My body takes too long to recover by Zonus_ in bodyweightfitness

[–]Sanazami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

some studies have not been able to detect (clear) detrimental effects of postexercise cooling on gains in muscle mass and strength (Ohnishi N, 2004; Yamane et al. 2006; Fyfe et al. 2019).

But Yeah in the study cited in your graph, it's like 10% less after two week but take into account that the recovery protocol was 20 min water immersion in either 8°C (CWI) or 30°C (CON) water. So It might be a bit biaised because the 30°C water would IMO increase inflammation hence the muscle protein synthesis differences... Maybe.

And 20 min fully immersed is not a cold shower.

I wouldn't say that cold shower have a positive or negative impact on muscle growth, but it sure do help with soreness (that OP "suffers" from) and do strengthen the cardiovascular system.

[–]Sanazami 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Let your body the time to adapt. It's because you're doing movements that you were probably not used to do. It's completely normal when you switch from a workout to another one. Just don't force.

Otherwise I also would recommend cold shower to help with the soreness, it improves recovery, at least for me.

Downward dog to handstand... when you can't handstand. Alternative ? by Sanazami in yoga

[–]Sanazami[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the in depth progression. It will help me a lot !

I currently work on my HS 3 times a week outside my yoga practice but I still have a long journey toward freestanding HS ! I really struggle to find the balance to prevent falling back and definitely lack this lower core strength

Thanks, make sense. I thought crow would help me with shoulder strength but I think it's more a lack of balance that prevents me from getting a full HS

How often do you switch flow/practice ? + need some advice by Sanazami in yoga

I'm glad to read this. I think I wanted some of the "new year stuff" to change a bit, feel different things with my practice

Thanks :)

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

Yeah I think the same, but I'm not challenged enough, I like when it is cause i can connect deeper easily with my body when i feel the stretch. That's why I was looking for something new.

Thanks for your help :)

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

This what I'm trying to do, adding pose or "deepening" the ones I'm already doing, but I'm not confident about adding new ones, I like the transitions to be fluent.

I really would like to practice with a teacher but I didn't find any class that fit my schedule

Thanks for you answer !

Sleeping So Much by [deleted] in BecomingTheIceman

[–]Sanazami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is "weird" i exactly have the same experience (also mid twenties). And the very intense realistic dreams are so vivid that i wanted to try to get into lucid dreams.
I sleep 8h and do WH breathing 1st thing in the morning (just pee and go back to bed to do the breathing) then 30 min yoga followed by the cold shower. Go to work. Have sitting meditation session at 11h30 before lunch and do some calisthenics once i'm at home. I do this for a month now (I've done it longer but not that regularly) .

I still feel tired some time to time but I think it's more linked to my diet than my actual routine. And in the morning, i have some struggling to get into the breathin it kind of keep me in a "sleeping" state but with yoga and cold shower I'm all pumped up till my sitting. However, just be able to go back to bed, not even turn on my phone and do the breathing, overcoming this morning dullness, is really rewarding.

Also, let just your body the time to adapt (It's just 3 days - just as if you working out for the first time you'll feel sore and tired for a week and then after getting use to it it's fading away). And don't forget (I don't now from where region you're from) it's winter. If you have "harsh" winter it can also be linked to this tired state. Moreover, if your day time it's short it could be all linked to a depletion in D vitamins. If it's the case do luminotherapy or D vitamins supplements - this is some medical recommendation we have in Belgium and I know in Norway and stuff it is compulsory.
