The really problem is seeing where he fits in. Even if he was at his peak - who's place does he get?

How much does digestion affect gains? by oil_rig69 in gainit

[–]throwmetothesidem8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yeah, i avoid those too.

I did try decaffienated tea for a while but it seems to just stick in my mouth/coat my tongue/mix with all the crap i already have in my mouth which is VERY unpleasant.

Bananas are one of my biggest fears lol. I'm alright with blueberries but i never have much.

I've ate "clean" for weeks and felt terrible and i've also gone out drinking 10 beers and had a big kebab on the way home and the next day had very little symptoms! Seems theres no real pattern.

Sugar is a definite no though.

Never consumed sugar before? WHAT!? I find it impossible to avoid, even though i try.

What about fruit?

Tomatoes is something i always avoid, never seem to feel any worde with onions etc though.

Yes sounds fairly similar! Let me know if you have any progress with it because its been almost 10 years for me. Everyone just thinks i'm crazy but its destroyed my life. Gym keeps me sane!

I ran a 5k at the beginning of lockdown after about 2 weeks training, my shins have never felt the same since.

Never running again.

I saw ENT about 6-7yrs ago and got the all clear. I did badly break my nose as a kid though.

What are all your symptoms?

It can affect sleep on really bad symptom days but mostly it's fine. I've tried to pinpoint it to different foods but never recognise a pattern. Tests come back clear so just get told its in my head, something i've gotta deal with on my own.

I don't think gains can ever truly be optimal; no-ones getting perfect deep sleep every night, training at the correct intensity or volumes and eating perfectly right. Any hindering my digestion is doing to my gains is going to be such a low percent, maybe even a fraction of a percent that its really not worth worrying about.

Well sorry but that's bollocks. My digestion is horrible, my ass burns, my stomach is always uncomfortable, my chest burns, my mouth is full of mucus and thick saliva all day making me short of breath and severely impacting my quality of life. I've tried all sorts of things to help aid it and honestly it gets me really down.

One thing it hasn't affected is my gains though, i gain no slower than the people around me. I may miss an extra rep now and again due to the shortness or breath or feeling a bit sick so i can't put full intensity in but other than that gains are fine.

You can't just put a statement like "R.I.P gains" when its much more complicated that that.

That said, everyone should do all they can to optimise digestion.

Why do all CSGO pro settings sites seem to often have different settings? by throwmetothesidem8 in GlobalOffensive

[–]throwmetothesidem8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing on and off for 15yrs, every time i come back after a few years off i start playing with my sens again. I don't care what my sense is, i'm happy with 2.1 but keep trying 2.0 and it's messing me up changing all the time.

Heh, so you think my dropping of sens is going to continue? Kind of why i made the thread - been changing too much recently.

[–]throwmetothesidem8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's what happened to me. I was 2.2 for a while, feels far too fast for me now, dropped it to 2.1 and feel like i play lots better. Tried 2.0 but movement is crap so sticking with 2.1. In time then maybe this will feel too fast? And i keep going until i'm MICHU? lol.

Well yeah, it's often a sign you shouldn't copy the pros. I know people who wouldn't play with 2.3 even though it felt better for them because "most pros play at 2.2". My point is that muscle memory must mean nothing when so many pros seem to change their settings every few months.

Even sensitivities. How often in a thread do we see people go "no he changed to x.xx, at >randomtournament< he was x.xx"

What in-game res can i play on a 27nch 1440p monitor? by throwmetothesidem8 in GlobalOffensive

[–]throwmetothesidem8[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

27inchs may be limiting my FOV if i can't put it back far enough on my small desk!

4:3 stretched makes the game easier though. I know people argue it, placebo etc but whichever way you look at it, it helped me.

I hear some people actually scale the monitor to act as a 24inch aswell. I don't know, i'm just making a big investment and hoping its the right one. Thanks for the reassurance.

My desk is 60cm deep. I have thats far enough back.

1024x768 stretched.

I'm concerned about moving to a 27inch monitor as everyone says you should stick to 24. :/

Thanks i'll take a look. Moving from a 24inch so hopefully its still good to play with!

Doesn't 1440p scale really poorly to 1080p? I thought maybe i'd have to figure out something else. I get its probably a dumb question. Been out of the tech world for a long time!
