didn't expect BKN to be up 10 after the first.
this is great.
hope PHI gets crushed, somehow. BKN is so outsized... but PHI's bigs are slow af soo.. who knows.
Embid is such a big baby.
LEGGO BKN.

« on: April 13, 2019, 02:46:12 pm »Salbutamol doesn't cause long term adaptions, tonnes of people just grow out of asthma. The other mainstay of treatment for asthma is corticosteroids which, unless you actually have asthma it probably isn't a good idea to take. If you actually think you have asthma... Go get tested, young people die of asthma. Also your comment about James harden walking into the doctors symptom free.. You don't have to be having an asthma attack for it to be detected!
David Beckham is another famous pro who has asthma, occasionally see him pitch side with an inhaler. Is it cold where you are? Exercise and cold can both trigger bronchoconstriction which is actually quite noticeable for me (I don't have asthma).
If you don't have asthma as others said, an inhaler isn't going to do much for you other than jack up your heart rate.
FWIW salbutamol is pretty harmless (unless you have an arrhythmia or something) in med school we actually did spirometry experiments and they let us use salbutamol to do experiments on each other.
Talking of PEDs, I'm currently working on a renal medicine ward... Everyone is on EPO. The temptation is strong. (I'm kidding).
good info.
and ya he's had heart "issues", arrhythmias and such. that's why i think it's a really bad idea to play around with, especially to experiment with it during exercise.

it literally only works for ppl with asthma and (see article below) not in a performance sense. simple test proposed here seems to have triggered your kneejerk reflex Anti PED response .. check your assumptions..
to be clear, none of my previous statements took the anti-ped angle (you did). nor did LBSS's iirc. my statements echo'd the bold statement, ie you're considering taking something you probably don't need, in an environment of high exertion.
you're justifying using it to improve performance, because you think you may have some kind of asthma. a doctor will tell you if you do or not.
Galen Rupp is a known asthma sufferer. Surely doctors don't tell him he's too healthy for asthma medication etc.

it triggered my "dont do dumb as fu*k stuff kneejerk reflex".
weird how you say "check your assumptions" when you're assuming (or something?) that we're taking an ANTI PED angle. kinda ironic.
the angle is: find out if you actually have some kind of asthma instead of experimenting with inhalers.
apologies if my replies bug you, just expressing my concerns with going down that road.
brb taking insulin before this long run.

i see the problem with you setting up some cookie cutter hypothetical response from a doc, to justify using an inhaler, rather than seeing if you actually need one by seeing the right people (ie not googling it).
well he'd probably be right. and if that's all he says & you're not impressed, find a better doc.
what'd docs tell you about your heart?
Do you see the problem with that though? In a clinical setting i'm not going to exhibit any symptoms. You telling me if James Harden walked into his primary care physician office and said yo i need treatment he'd get it? Doc will take one look at you and say you're in good shape and healthy and you should get going.

« on: April 13, 2019, 01:43:46 am »I don't disagree. I'm just trying to figure out what's wrong with me. If the inhaler has little benefit then i don't have to persue it any further. If it has massive benefit (to me) then it would suggest i could benefit from treatment. But from what i've read so far (just cursory googling) it has little benefit in terms of performance enhancement.
it's not worth finding out whether or not it benefits you, unless you consult a physician first.
additionally, inhalers can increase heart rate & can have side effects during exercise. IMHO, given your HR history, it's not worth experimenting with unless you are under proper supervision - even if it's just done "once" during some basketball drills. going from <never using one> to <trying it out during intense physical exertion> also seems like a bad way to experiment with it.

and you'd have to go to an optometrist to get "fitted" properly for contacts.
unless maybe you're maxent. then you'd just go pick up a random pair of contacts see if they help.

Squats with green bands
Singles up to 290+ bands. They might put on like 60lbs or 80.
DE deadlifts: 8x2@225
Cable row 3x10
Lat pulldown 6x10
Idk maybe something else, getting a massage in 5 minutes.
Also hammy curls
Also, got a email from work and they want me trained on the only line I'm not trained on. So that means that ill know everything on the back side of the bottle side and no1 will know more than me that will be up for an apprenticeship.
Anyway I'll be day shift so ill be doing home workouts, probably going to buy a 100lb sandbag bag and maybe a exergenie.
Bought the sandbag and when I do stuff tomorrow I will order the exergenie.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A596cForZwo" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A596cForZwo</a>
cool. exergenie reminds me of TRX. can do some cool stuff w/ TRX.
i had a 120 lb sandbag way back in ~2004 or so. left it outside. one day was doing OHP with it. and i started feeling stings. had ants all over me. apparently they got into the bag and i was OHP'n an ant pile. luckily i had a small pool nearby. lmao.
that basketball court really pisses me off. i hate dual basketball/skate-park setups. infuriating. nice hoops tho.

800m+ Running and/or Conditioning / Re: Runners to learn from
« on: April 12, 2019, 09:12:17 pm »Quote[A] Moroccan runner ... completed the grueling Marathon des Sables through the Sahara Desert earlier this week. He is talented and he is also a dog.
Cactus linked up with the race after Sunday’s opening 20-mile stage, sticking around for the next four stages and 120 miles of running. The Marathon des Sables is a famously difficult race, where competitors have to run an average of 23.5 miles per day for five days straight through the sand, sun, and wind of the unforgiving Sahara of southern Morocco. It’s not the sort of thing anyone does primarily for fun, excepting of course Cactus, who seemed to enjoy his time with the race.
