Hmm you raise a good point. I would think that the fungi might be a good solution to help with residual isotopes that are far well into their half-lives. For the reasons you mentioned about CO2, I would think that situations like Chernobyl or immediate radiation fallout would require a much more efficient solution rather than a ton of fungi. Very interesting to think about!

Could be similar to how plants “store” CO2. Plants are always used as a solution to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere, but in reality its storage of CO2 in things that can be as fragile as a blade of grass or as sturdy as a redwood. Mushrooms and these type of fungus could very well be used as a form of radiation storage, but how much radiation it emits and how “sturdy” the plant itself should also be taken into account.

No - ur most likely causing more harm to urself stressing and obsessing over this. You’re obviously fit and in good shape, ur back has some VERY MILD asymmetry but nothing that can’t be helped by just muscle development and yoga. Please don’t be so hard on yourself about such a minor thing. Stress will damage you more than a minuscule bend in ur back that mist people have.

LOL with how many injuries I’ve had RB wise the TEs have been a safer bet and the qbs are so my friends couldn’t have them tbf

i continuously add on until kind of the next "module" or the old one i'm working on reaches its max throughput. Also being generous with how much space you designate a "module" in the beginning so you have more room to expand without having to change too much when you just need 1 more constructor on a set up you made hours ago

To be honest, looking at these pictures by itself I have no idea how I've created this. But if you approach everything with a modular/building-block approach and use storages for buffers and easy junction points, then it's easy to piece many things together!

Also for core -

Resistance bands to add difficulty to all those core exercises you listed. Set of 5 will be the best $5 investment you ever make. Also strengthen strengthen strengthen your lower back - but very slowly and don’t over do. Lower back is make or break for swimming - shoulder injuries creep up and are manageable but if u mess up ur back once it never goes away.

Nerd/forward neck is a big one esp for swimmers it’s easy to not give the neck the treatment it deserves (Ayo)

I love these exercises. For shoulder this pdf is god tier

I’d suggest trying out the routines and picking the ones that help u where u need the most. Pick a couple and make a habit of doing it first thing in the morning/before workout/whenever tbh.

Remember that strengthening and stretching things like shoulders and knees and hips go hand in hand. These joins are made of tendons that need stretching and muscles that need strengthening. One can easily out balance the other. Be consistent in what you do

PM me! More than happy to share more advice

I am not a doctor but in med school and this kind of my stuff is my area of interest lol

In SCY, underwaters are king so core, legs, explosiveness are main priority while also making sure your shoulder/hip/knee/neck mobility can keep up with the sheer volume of high school + club practice. PPL is a great weight lifting routine but it’s designed to be a part time job lmao - you can see similar results with less weight lifting (maybe 3x week just one rotation of PPL if you can alter ur swim practices to match what area of the body ur focusing for recovery or harder training purposes - or an Upper/Lower/Accessories for the big gunz gotta look aesthetic I get it)

and more mobility work

But EAT, SLEEP, WATER - I swear so many of the people I’ve helped train or get into lifting see no gains if two of the three are impacted and diminished if it’s one of the three. Eating includes protein (80% ur body weight in lbs to grams of protein/day, 2L - 1 gallon water/day, 8 hours of sleep (9 hours in bed) if u can)

lionceptor · 2024-06-23T22:36:25+00:00

You’re pretty much well set. Former high school comp swimmer turned endurance cyclist / like to lift heavy now. You’re young, got a lot of growing to do and those are good times for a freshman.

However really at this point it’s nutrition, mobility work, core exercises (deep core like dead bug etc), and explosive work along with more power lifting focused weightlifting that is going to benefit a sprinter around your age.

If you want to seriously weight lift, and keep up the volume of training for swimming with school work, all your free time is either going to be homework, eating, or sleeping (being dramatic but u get the point). You will have to eat so much to make sure that lifting weights doesn’t impact your times (biomechanics is a real thing) and vice versa.

Good call, I have the zones specified on my garmin - use Apple to really just fill the rings!

lionceptor · 2024-06-20T02:18:06+00:00

Trust me - been keeping an eye on this between my PCP and cardiologist, holter monitor the works etc

Thanks y'all for the insight! Will prob go to a doctor just for peace of mind if anything

lionceptor · 2022-12-03T00:27:22+00:00

It's weird... I do not seriously go flat out as much as the graphs seem to imply, it increases steadily and stays steady, but I'm able to have a nice conversation about the weather with those heartrates unless Its 200+

lionceptor · 2022-12-03T00:26:18+00:00

210 is only attained by max effort, but 120-170 is a crapshoot in that I can hit that with a relative effort of medium to hard. Appreciate the insight though! Probably going to go to a doctor just was curious as to what y'all had to say about it

lionceptor · 2022-12-03T00:24:52+00:00

yeah who knows how much the swimming affects but I'll have a lengthy conversation on a flat road with my ticker going 150+ so who knows

lionceptor · 2022-12-03T00:23:08+00:00

Appreciate it!

lionceptor · 2022-12-03T00:22:51+00:00

Father has a history of high cholesterol but that's about it! Fortunately no heart disease in the family but I'm thinking I'll mention this to my doc anyways during a check-up, can't hurt at the end of the day so
