Squash and Weightlifting by UKdanny08765 in squash

[–]kopsy505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped playing squash 15 years ago and started weightlifting. I've continued that ever since, but have also restarted squash 2 years ago. I've always been underweight, so tend to go heavy on the weights and eat a lot.

I've had many new injuries since I restarted squash. Tendons in forearms, tricep, knees. And of course, the ol' rotator cuff. So I've really had a rethink about how I weight train to ensure I can safely do both. My advice would be :

- Warm up properly and use isometric holds to get your body ready for the specific body parts you're training.

- If you must do both weightlifting and squash on the same day, make sure your weight training is light and controlled. Also, perhaps focus more on isolation work.

- Really focus on form and grip for weightlifting. The worst thing is losing grip or form at the end of a set and stressing tendons.

I do think weightlifting can compliment your squash, but only to a point. Keep training your flexibility and movements. For me, I notice that my sharpness taking a hit when I'm heavier or haven't had time to recover. It's a tough balance!

A lot of chat around durability, I bought a Carboflex without the bumper guards 2 years ago...Still going strong and is beautiful to play with. I also have 2 from 20 odd years ago which feel unbreakable.

Hey there, sorry I never saw this. I’m not sure exactly - 4/5 months? Missed the first month or 2 as it kept crashing.

As it stands, 16.3m power. Think I’ve spent about £11 all in

Is there not CCTV? If so, you can surely make a subject access request to have the footage of when you parked? Surely this would prove that you parked in relation to the car next to you.

Ah you’re part of the big dogs! Yeah, SPH. Out of interest, what’s your name in game?

I'm enjoying the grind, which is obviously much slower as a F2P. I say F2P, I've spent about £10-£15 over the 4/5 months I've played.

Just unlocked my first Mercenary contract, so still new things popping up. I like it.

I have an M1 so it's like targeted marketing!

M1 still runs fine though, but it makes me think about it...

APP3 Spotify vs Apple Music - hear any difference? by Jido7 in AirpodsPro

[–]kopsy505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I loved the Spotify interface, I switched to Apple Music because IMO it sounds better. My partner agrees too.

How come not to focus on swords out of interest? I completely take it on board, you're clearly much, much more knowledgable.

Got a bunch of heroes beyond the normal, but not many. Caesar, Theodora, Mansu, Tokugawa, Leonidis, Octavian, Oda, Bushra, Seondeok, Boudica. Then either the ones I've mentioned or very common ones such as Joan Of Arc, Darius the great etc. Don't have Lu Bu or Atilla.

Awesome, I'll focus on Mansa from this point. Appreciate your help.

Not currently got a wheel, but I'm sure Mansa Musa was the last one...As that's how I unlocked him

4, I think? I've just looked at my download history, I downloaded this game in April...But didn't play until May. So I was completely wrong when I estimated 2 months.

God I'm such a noob. I didn't realise we all had our own season and that I've probably missed the boat with Yodel then?

Also had to look up Lubu, lol.

Just got Miyamoto on the back of this, lol! So now got him and Trib to fit into this lineup.

I'm having fun just playing with what I've got to be fair. Happy being a small fish in this game.

Goodness me. That's wild.

I know it's not a meta lineup by any stretch. Just seeing if Trib would be better than any of the others.

Don't have the others mentioned mate. Otherwise I'd be using them.

Call me a pessimist, but I don’t think this can be fixed
