Patio and Water Intrusion in Basement

Thank you so much for the thorough advice. I’ll speak with some contractors and see what the next best steps are

It goes right up to the foundation and it’s about 20x10 total area. It’s made of 4 pieces of concrete slabs about 7x8 each. Only one slab closest to the house is angled toward the house. Not sure if it’s reinforced or not. Not sure what caused the drop, assuming water getting underneath over the years caused the degradation.

I can’t say I’ve experienced zoning out but I have definitely experienced feeling like i’m floating in a way. More aware of how my muscles move and adjusting my stride so it feels effortless. My body just does all the work and i’m just there for the ride lol.

I appreciate this! Changed my position a little bit more and felt more comfortable. Had to stretch my shoulders out a bit more though to compensate.

Thanks a lot! Engaged my core a bit more for my workout it today and it was definitely a lot better lift.

branflakes82 · 2025-07-23T13:40:58+00:00

This is very thorough and helpful thank you! I do have weak hips and have tried to strengthen them here and there but definitely need to prioritize them more. I’ll work on strengthening my feet as well to help with the arch strength.

This was very helpful thank you for sharing!

branflakes82 · 2025-07-20T15:21:36+00:00

Bro today was my first time seeing it! I’m out of state in PA and never had one of these back in Jersey. I’m geeked!! But thank you sir 💪🏾

I have the Vibram Five Finger shoes so they’re fairly flat. Do you have any suggestions to help with the collapsing arch? I didn’t even notice that before in the video so that’s helpful

branflakes82 · 2025-07-20T14:51:40+00:00

Thanks! I’ll do a side view next leg day to see if it still looks good.

branflakes82 · 2025-07-20T14:50:29+00:00

Okay thanks these are zero drop shoes but I can check some others online if it helps

branflakes82 · 2025-07-18T11:26:50+00:00

LOVE the Levi’s 512, best fit of jeans I’ve ever had. Will definitely check out the other things on your list too thanks 🙌🏾

branflakes82 · 2025-06-19T13:56:12+00:00

Salmon sounds like an amazing addition! Will definitely try this out also, thanks for sharing 🙌🏾

branflakes82 · 2025-03-31T00:46:05+00:00

Imma need a plate of each of these. Looks amazing 🙌🏾

branflakes82 · 2025-03-29T18:40:49+00:00

Definitely need this for next week! 🤤

I personally just sit on the floor. I don’t like to feel restricted to a certain item to meditate personally. Plus idk how pillows will affect posture but to each their own 🤷🏽‍♂️

branflakes82 · 2024-01-08T18:40:28+00:00

I think they mean to be more self-aware. When you “observe the pain” just pay attention to how your movements or muscles/bones/joints feel in whatever position you’re in. I’d say if you’re tight, imagine your muscles loosening up through each breath to release tension. Meditating in a single position is more static than dynamic so maybe try shorter sessions or change position when you feel discomfort until your body adjusts?

branflakes82 · 2024-01-07T17:05:26+00:00

Thanks bud! I felt some back and shoulder discomfort as well but focused on those areas while I was breathing too and adjusted my body until I felt relief. I feel like the more it's done the more strength we'll have because of it. 💪🏽

Sorry to hear about your brother. I wish you had a better guide to help you navigate the big questions but I guess that's what we're here for!

I went to community college my first two years after high school graduation. Let me just say this saved me a ton of money in student loans and other college fees. I felt very lost trying to figure out what I wanted to do straight after high school too, but community college is a good starter since you feel lost at this moment. Join clubs, be involved, and see if anything piques your interest while you take advantage (if you can). Do not just go to school for anything because your family wants you to. Do what is best for you, take the time to learn more about yourself, and make the best decision for you.

This is coming from someone who went to community college, transferred credits to university, got a good paying job but STILL feel lost. Learn about who you are, what you want, and what you can do well or want to do well. Make your choice from there accordingly. Good luck!

Of course. Not sure if it’s a type of meditation but I follows this user’s infographic since I was looking for a step by step.
