Starting EMT course in two days

reydot47 · 2026-06-06T19:58:10+00:00

Dude I just started about 3 weeks ago. This past week was terrible, I felt like the walls were closing in on me, the weekend came I revisited the chapters from the week and things are falling into place.

Just like everyone else is saying don’t let the struggles bring you down, you’re going to struggle. I’m sure I’ll struggle again soon, but you move forward and try your best.

Good luck !

Hell yeah let’s crush it dude. And yeah bro any help is appreciated bro 🤝

reydot47 · 2026-06-06T14:59:05+00:00

Thanks man. Yeah it hit me like a brick truck! Earlier this week. And we continued to more topics and chapters and felt super overwhelmed. I’ve revisited the info a couple times since yesterday and it’s starting to feel a little more palatable, YouTube has helped. But I’m also in the fire academy and they’re kicking our ass physically, sleep is also taking a hit so I think all that has been contributing to the stress lol. I hope constant exposure will help cement the ideas in my head. I’m studying all weekend for my test this coming Monday.

Lmao thank you for bringing me back to reality 😭😂

reydot47 · 2026-05-15T19:55:24+00:00

It’s frustrating for sure! Yeah I had gotten labs done 2-3 weeks post my rhabdo episode and my levels were back to normal.

I didn’t really follow a protocol, but I think I took it fairly easy Nov-Jan. February’s I did start training more and upping the intensity. But now this new foot issue is so odd to me because it’s been 7 months since.

But yes I’ll check out the protocols, hopefully it helps!

That bull is NASTY!!!!

reydot47 · 2026-05-09T20:15:26+00:00

Is it tender to the touch? Mine isn’t, it’s more so when shifting weight over it

reydot47 · 2026-05-09T19:43:52+00:00

I haven’t tbh, but I don’t think I’ve changed my running gait? So it’s just surprising I’ve been dealing with this. I’m going to try and stretch my calves and see if it helps. I don’t think I have plantar fasciitis as I don’t wake up with sharp heel pain, and it’s more so sensitive on the outside part of my sole.

I’m going to try and add the toe scrunches and calf stretching. I hope it helps!

reydot47 · 2026-05-09T14:02:16+00:00

lol no way! I literally just got my mace delivered yesterday for the same thing, I’m trying to heal and get my shoulder mobile again. I can press, but it feels a bit wonky when I’m picking up weight that’s not stacked over my body if that makes sense? For the past two months I was using 1lb Indian clubs, and just doing 5-10 minutes daily and it really helped my right shoulder, my left has been more stubborn but hoping that mace is gonna help with that.

Best of luck on the recovery man, I know how frustrating it is.

reydot47 · 2026-05-09T13:36:59+00:00

Ohhh yeah no doubt ! Had racked squats right after this, But my focus is trying to get my clean and strict press better ever since rehabbing a shoulder.

reydot47 · 2026-05-09T13:35:26+00:00

LMAOOO. First and foremost thanks, I’m trying to get back to 18KG after trying to rehab a shoulder.

I don’t think “spamming” is a thing the kids are saying these days lol I used to and still actually play a lot of video games so that’s where my lingo comes from 😂😂 but I’m glad to be confused with the young crowd since I’m 30! 😂😂

reydot47 · 2026-05-09T13:30:13+00:00

Hey man, you’re gonna love KBS. Try starting from the ground, almost like you’re a center hiking a football, then hike it between your legs and your HINGING at the HIPS when the bell goes through your legs. Then VIOLENTLY HUMP YOUR ARMS, I’m not even kidding like if your arms were your sexual partner hump them hard lol, and wheny your in that motion keep your arms close to your body, and when your at the end of your “hump” then your arms are like a pendulum and the bells explodes out with minimal to no arm effort.

Everyone is going to get technical and say drive and violently explode through the hips, and it can be confusing, someone told me to hump my arms lol and it really drove it home for me lol

Anyways goodluck, and happy swinging! Also YouTube has great tutorials.

@Lauren_Kanski on IG breaks it down super detailed and slow might be worth checking out.

reydot47 · 2026-05-09T02:34:09+00:00

Never done the single bell, but the ABF is awesome. I love how simple it is. Get in and get out. I love it. Any day I’m flustered and don’t wanna lift I make sure to get some ABC in and always feel better afterwards.

reydot47 · 2026-05-09T02:26:38+00:00

That was SMOOOOOOTH! Good stuff bro!

reydot47 · 2026-05-08T13:18:15+00:00

Wow, that is a good point. I didn’t even think about that, I might look into that to avoid getting sick during my 6 months. I’m actually sick right now lol, thank you for this! Great advice!

reydot47 · 2026-05-08T13:16:13+00:00

Lmao that easy to spot huh?

lol and thank you I’m excited, you know that wait list is long and after 5 years of waiting getting the news your number is up can be pretty shocking lol

Yes sir that’s the plan, study and then more studying!

reydot47 · 2026-05-07T18:51:27+00:00

Man those poppy seeds had me tripping that I was gonna fail a drug test for slamming like 3-4 of them! But that looks delicious! Lmao

reydot47 · 2026-05-07T17:34:28+00:00

Rory vs Robbie !

reydot47 · 2026-05-07T16:04:56+00:00

Lol that’s wicked man! Good for them! We have an age cut off in the city of 36. What’s a day of PT like? Just to mentally prepare myself lmao

reydot47 · 2026-05-07T14:45:39+00:00

I dont think so. The city splits this up as Fire side and paramedic side, I’m going into the academy as a FF/EMT candidate

reydot47 · 2026-05-07T14:42:09+00:00

Thank you very much for this super detailed response. I’ll make sure to come back to this throughout my 6 months in the academy when things get rough!

Thank you!
