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.

« on: April 13, 2019, 01:34:42 am »just gonna add my $0.02 to adarq about not using an inhaler for short-term athletic performance. the comparison with contact lenses is spurious.
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.

« on: April 12, 2019, 11:16:15 pm »Ran 2 miles or so
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.

i think it's way harder than it looks. especially in game situations. someone throwing it needs decent timing, beyond just good fundamentals etc.
and ya normal people can't throw lobs for sh*t. 0 timing & 0 placement.

« on: April 12, 2019, 05:21:36 pm »Not sure if I've asked this before but is this the Melbourne comp or a local one?
Nah you haven't, Melb. I literally might have peaked a week ago. Now i can barely squat my warmups or dunk. Lol.
Cool. We should catch up while you're here. Even just for a coffee.
Nah man have confidence. I saw your latest IG post. Shot is looking good. You'll be fine.
id like that. i'll send you a dm on insta!
also i did the full court coast to coast dunk drill. i could get 5 reps in before i died of cardiovascular overload. 6 if you include the first dunk starting from half court (i dont!). I did several sets of 5s. Actually a great workout. I wish i started doing it sooner! next time if i hav ea chance i'm going to take a puff of the inhaler .. i have one lying around b/c i thought i might have undiagnosed asthma but i never actually tested my theory out. would be interesting to repeat the drill but with using it.
don't do that plz, thnx. see a doc.
using an inhaler for athletic performance vs saving your life, is.. not a good idea.
2cents.

^^ has some interesting info about how he grew up.. didn't expect that. and he also was a pro poker player for 5 years hah.
he's probably Florida's fastest guy right now, serious range from mile to marathon.
