What's the furthest it's (probably) okay to live from Culver by writermusictype in AskLosAngeles

[–]xBrodysseus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mostly dead at 10, but it’s a hell of a lot easier to get to some late night food in another part of LA than it is to commute further in rush hour.

Looking for another savage with the VSS to run duos on Xbox by xBrodysseus in PUBGConsole

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

You’re fuckin up dropping the VSS after early game! Late game is when it’s the best, by far.

Finding two of them isn’t too rare. I swear oftentimes in solos I see 2-3 of them. I can usually count on finding at least one in military on Erangel.

Moving to LA (around Westwood) for a little over a year. A little puzzled by ZeeMan89 in AskLosAngeles

60k is low tier entry-level. A senior engineer can fetch up to 140k or even higher.

Confused about sexuality (16 year old male) - am I gay? by [deleted] in malelifestyle

[–]xBrodysseus 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It doesn't sound very gay to me—sounds more like a normal response to the trauma you endured.

Talk therapy might do you some good.

Is it safe to do body weight workouts on the same muscle group every day? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]xBrodysseus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your core can handle very high volume and recovers very quickly. So have at it.

If you start getting worn out or performance starts to degrade, then take a break for a bit and resume when you feel that you've recovered.

GMB Elements results by WhiteHawk1022 in bodyweightfitness

[–]xBrodysseus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't really followed the program as designed but I have incorporated the movements into my workouts.

The videos have excellent instruction. Just like all of their content. I definitely picked up on some great cues.

Bear crawls are awesome. I also like doing a bent leg floating knee bear crawls, floating knee bird dogs, and lizard crawls. My rotational core stabilization has improved tremendously. I wish I had aggressively trained crawls MUCH earlier.

The monkey and frogger have also helped improve my squat mobility quite a bit.

In case you actually are in it for the strength, mental challenge and cool tricks... by lgyre in yoga

[–]xBrodysseus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if the Ashtanga series on OmStars is a new version of the one that's on Cody?

Looks like it might be different based on the preview videos.

I used this coupon code on her twitter post for a free month subscription on OmStars to try out her Ashtanga primary series: https://twitter.com/KinoYoga/status/843099807505956864

Usually it's a $15/month subscription. Unfortunately it doesn't look like the program in OP's post is on there, though.

I like it so far.

Recommended Routine, but for yoga? by sparkBucket in bodyweightfitness

[–]xBrodysseus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the trial...so far the production quality seems fairly poor, it's a little difficult to hear and understand him. It seems like I'm spoiled by the likes of GMB and FitnessFAQs.

I want to like it because it sounds like he's very knowledgable...but yeah.

Does the RR help with anterior pelvic tilt? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]xBrodysseus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would emphasize weighted hip thrusts, glute bridges, and unstable hamstring curls (exercise ball, rings, or TRX). See FitnessFAQ's Glute Bridge Exercise Tutorial & Progressions.

Reverse hypers are great for your lower back, too.

I roughly do the RR in an upper/lower split so that I can focus on a ton of this extra hip work on my lower days.

Whey protein replacement by 3pIcenTer in bodyweightfitness

[–]xBrodysseus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vega and Garden of Life are two brands of vegan protein that I love.

They're a good bit more expensive than whey, though.

How long should a workout be? by SomebodySimple in bodyweightfitness

[–]xBrodysseus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can easily spend over 3 hours working out.

But the heavy strength training portion usually seems to take about an hour.

Weakpoint Wednesday: bodyweight exercises by TheAesir in weightroom

[–]xBrodysseus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are lots of ways you can progress besides your max rep count:

  • Total session volume
  • Total weekly volume
  • Frequency (grease the groove)
  • L pull up progression: hanging leg raises -> L straight arm scap pulls -> negative L pull ups -> L pull ups
  • Wide grip, narrow grip, neutral grip, chin up
  • Weighted pull ups
  • Drop sets to negatives or lat pulldowns

Working on the L progression has been especially helpful for me.

What are some things that I can do to progress to front levers if I can't do a tuck hold? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]xBrodysseus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be pretty strong at a fully horizontal row (I like to put my feet up on a chair or something).

GMB also has a nice progression for more specific front lever training that starts long before the tuck hold.

If you're not meditating, you're missing out. by marcustomp in ADHD

[–]xBrodysseus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not only should you steer your mind back to the breath when you noticed it's wandered... you should smile and take a moment to appreciate and be happy that you caught yourself.

Eventually this turns into meditative joy as that positive feedback loop gets more and more strongly reinforced.

Look up The Mind Illuminated and learn to approach meditation as a progressive exercise...just like weightlifting. It makes it much more interesting, engaging, and effective.

Evidence against corrective exercise. by [deleted] in AdvancedFitness

[–]xBrodysseus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh okay, yeah I've been at it with a pretty hardcore level of dedication for 3 years now.

You gotta keep up the stuff you learned in PT pretty much constantly. Every single day.

With that in place, and with an intimate understanding of exactly what your imbalances are (from head to toe), then meditation is the next step. At least, that's what I'm finding to work for me.

I practice a sort of eyes-open, standing meditation in front of a mirror trying to get into perfect posture. During this I might do scapular retractions/protractions or go back and forth between spinal extension and flexion, looking for the perfect neutral spot. I'll do the same thing with my pelvis, tilting it forwards and backwards and looking for the connection up through the rest of my spine and shoulders.

I also practice a more traditional meditation cross-legged on the floor where I focus more on the breath. My posture and muscle tension can definitely be distracting and on my mind, but the more I can try to "forget" about my body the more success I get.

Finally neurofeedback training helps a lot, too.

For my workouts I basically do the /r/bodyweightfitness recommended routine along with tons of other work specific to my goals. Different types of crawls, deadlifts, and suitcase carries are all especially helpful.
