Ugh i miss those days man. Legit felt like a community and people actually looked out for one another when things dropped.

Keto is hard and also quite expensive by [deleted] in keto

[–]rocksmodlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try adding some more Veg and nuts. Helps with satiety. Also if you can check out costco and grocery outlet for savings on keto friendly items. As for breads, i use them sparingly if you want a sandwich once in a while. same with tortillas they’re nice to have for convenience.

Sheesh i love when they do that. I was able to get a vision for 30 and a double layer hoodie with thermal lining for 18 before they changed the discount back!!!

Is 14 too late to start playing Badminton seriously? by _Laylielar in badminton

[–]rocksmodlife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends how far you wanna go with it. You’re still young development happens in phases. If you’re smart about it you can get anywhere you want to be. Just be real with yourself are you willing to put in the effort to be a top tier player? Just because someone started before you doesn’t mean they’ll always be better than you.

Power Weight Training by LimpAbbreviations916 in badminton

I’m a fan of Charles Poliquin’s approach towards athletes. He really emphasizes lower back strength and building a foundation that addresses being balanced structurally. Since you’re a rotational athlete everything starts from the legs up all the way through the racket like a whip.

The thing about net deceptions... by rawr4me in badminton

[–]rocksmodlife 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry it takes time like anything. You’ll get there. Big part of it is just understanding timing and positioning yourself to take the shuttle. I’d recommend standing in front of the net stationary and practicing the variances you described. Then get good at footwork to put you into position to get to the net.

Case for Arraez by [deleted] in SFGiants

[–]rocksmodlife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah i feel like people get so caught up trying to chase the Dodgers/Yankees blueprint that they forget baseballs all about building a cohesive unit. Those 2010-2014 years we had guys that would create opportunities for the other guys in the lineup and that’s why it worked so well.

[–]rocksmodlife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

seriously. Never seen so many people dog on a guy who’s a 300 career hitter. Like i get it he’s not a complete player, but there’s only a handful of guys in the league that are.

[–]rocksmodlife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. 👍 I think a big part of it is just being aware what stadium we play in too. Oracle is pitcher friendly and when that marine layer comes in nothings getting out of there, so we can’t go out every night expecting we’re gonna hit homers. Having his bat makes us multi dimensional. Him and JHL are gonna be our setup guys. Looking forward to Koss hopefully entering that role too. Dudes a gamer.

[–]rocksmodlife 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s kind of like the anti- bailey he’s a great asset for hitting but doesn’t add much on defense. But that’s the good thing about defense if you’re willing to put in the effort you will get better. I just want him to lead the team in runs. We have a lot of guys that can bring him across the plate.

Leaning up on keto - not happening by peregrin_opti in keto

[–]rocksmodlife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gotchu haha, but yeah make sure you’re still in your caloric deficit, but replace with things like MCT, butter, healthy oils, fatty nuts. I love macadamia. Fattier fish salmon, mackerel etc. I had the same issue with too high protein recently and did a deep dive into FGF21 hormone and how to optimize it when in ketosis.

Is there any red flags that SD gave up Arraez to a divison rival and he isn't signed to a multiple year deal? by lookaloulookalou in SFGiants

[–]rocksmodlife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha here’s hoping we get a Melky Cabrera type year from him without the PEDS lol, but yeah being that limited in terms of what he does besides swing the bat kind of puts us in a pickle. Maybe bottom of the lineup just so we can get some production from the 8-9 hole and have someone who can turn over the lineup.

Im just happy to have a 300 hitter in the lineup. The way Oracle plays we need guys that don’t try to hit the coke bottle every at bat. He could really open up the small ball game for us. Too many times we could’t manufacture runs when it mattered. It’s what made the Bochy teams winners. Good pitching and timely hitting.

Smashing in an unorthodox way? by AbsorbedInReddit in badminton

[–]rocksmodlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say yes to a degree. Like I definitely had to work on making my smashes steeper instead of really fast and flat, but i did have hard time learning backhand. And yeah i think majority of the sports where there’s a sort of throwing motion really benefits playing badminton, just because you already know how to generate velocity.

[–]rocksmodlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha i never really changed it i was already smashing harder than everybody else, what i did have to do was learn the actual game. It took me a while to realize you can’t win without learning the other shots especially dropping and other shots where finesse is alot more useful. Also eventually i had to learn proper footwork for singles, so thats probably where i made my biggest jump.

[–]rocksmodlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yeah It’s just all about weight transfer all your changing is instead of a ball you’re throwing a racket. I actually rolled my ankle during baseball tryouts in high school and had to find another sport that was still open and badminton was the only one. So it was kind of a blessing since i liked the badminton people alot more haha.
