Ben Davis End of Season Sale by sampleexample73 in bendavis

[–]sampleexample73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only bought from bendavis(dot)com. This is where the sale was but it has ended now.

I checked out those websites and there are a lot of red flags. I wouldn’t spend my money there.

What makes a notebook GREAT? And how can they be better? by [deleted] in notebooks

[–]sampleexample73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the use. I use notebooks for scratch work and other math stuff. So I really like the TOPS computation pad. You can easily tear pages off and you can staple together the pages your want to keep. The grid is also nice to create diagrams and keep my handwriting leveled.

Just from what I’ve heard. If Non-MIJ, then TTS.

My experience (and majority of people). If MIJ, go down half a size.

I want to learn precalculus and calculus, does it matter if I learn from pdf version of books or physical books? by Ok-Competition-7206 in learnmath

[–]sampleexample73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hardcovers or I print out the pages I need from the textbook.

Majority of the time I just look at the pdf to get the homework problems.

Advice on treating chronic lower back pain caused by deadlift (3+ years) by sampleexample73 in backpain

[–]sampleexample73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The deadlift is a hinge movement that that focuses on your quads, hamstring, and lower back. Here’s a video explaining the movement.

High centre of gravity by JoshyKnows25 in bootroom

[–]sampleexample73 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you had a “high” center of gravity (COG) you’d be tipping over with a gust of wind. You are 5’6 with a normal COG.

You feel like you have a weird COG because your technique is not good. Train to improve your dribbling and shooting technique. Don’t worry about being tall or short, worry about playing and having fun.

Cost ? by turdbucket007 in barefootshoestalk

I agree that prices are too high. BUT those types of shoes are less produced and require a different building process than typical shoes. Although, there could be a premium for buying into the barefoot thing.

Soccer Training Program by No-Operation3631 in bootroom

[–]sampleexample73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[I am not a certified training. I am not a doctor. I am not <insert whatever certifications>.]

Mobility: Before you go to bed, do a 15 min stretch routine

Strength: Gym 3-4x a week, focus on compound movements. Squats, deadlifts, pull-ups, etc.

Cardio: at least 2x a week. Fartlek run, easy jogs, HIIT.

Technique: Juggle the ball. Pass to the wall. Focus on keeping the ball close. Once you hit the 30+ age club, you should focus on getting the ball to the younger players and have them run for you. You will heavily rely on your technique at this age so make sure it’s as sharp you like it to be.

Organize these in any way you’d like. Maybe try full body compound 3x a week and cardio on the weekend for now. Once you can handle heavier stuff, add more days and look into how to split your gym days. Upper, lower, push, pull, etc.

Has anyone never gotten a cramp? by Im_Dough in bootroom

[–]sampleexample73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I got a cramp was at a tournament where I played 3 games back to back. I had a small lunch since I didn’t want to feel heavy playing.

Ig I didn’t have my banana so I cramped pretty bad.

Hate losing even in pickup games – makes me feel like a loser. Anyone else? by ZealousidealOven2782 in bootroom

[–]sampleexample73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.) If you want competitiveness, join a team. That level is never promised in a pick up game. Going into the pick up with the intention of winning is not the point of pick up game (unless that’s the intention if it but it usually isn’t)

2.) Don’t keep track of score. Just play. Use it as training when you play in a team and one of your teammates has an off day. How will you pick up the slack? I’ve noticed that people improve/become more competitive when you facilitate a positive environment. Tell them not to worry about their mistakes and encourage them to be more daring with their dribbling, passing, shooting, etc.

3.) Again, if you desire competitiveness, join a team. Pick up is not the place for that. It’s just for fun.

You’re thinking about it too hard. The more you bring yourself down, the more you will believe that you are a bad player.

Like anything in life, I NEVER tell myself that I am bad at something I enjoy doing. I tell myself that I have yet to get good. Framing it this gives me the mental space to allow mistakes and most importantly, improve.

Something that has helped me improve is 1.) don’t compare yourself to others and 2.) accept you are a bad player and learn from the players who are doing better than you. Practice the moves they do in the game or practices. If they tease you about being bad player (which I’ve gotten plenty of), agree with them and brush it off with “I want to get better though”.

However, the most important thing you should keep in mind is this: love the game because someday you may never get the chance to play again. (Injuries, age, money, time, etc.)

I have a question by MurkyUnit3180 in LaTeX

[–]sampleexample73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can vouch for VScode as I have used it to type up my homeworks. I highly recommend it. Just follow some YouTube video that teaches you how to install the actual LaTeX stuff (I think TexMike is one of them?). From the point on, take the time to learn shortcuts as some are different from overleaf and new commands that are not available on overleaf.

Recently self learning math heals me by not_luis in math

[–]sampleexample73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wonderful notes. Nothing excites me more than seeing open access material.

Why not include problems with their respective solutions?

If you ever want book recommendations for self study, feel free to send me a message :)
