Mat & futon =/= sleeping on the floor. You’re still technically sleeping on padding. It’s simply much lower profile than a mattress (with or without a box spring). I went cold turkey years back-threw out the mattress and slept directly on cold hardwood flooring. The cold felt great. Currently I sleep on an IKEA flat woven rug with a pillow because it matches my room decor better. Plus I didn’t want to throw out the rug I already had.
So using a very thin futon mattress sleeping on the floor compared to just the average cheap spring mattress doing the same no difference to me at all used the mattress on the floor for 8 years these past approx just over a month switched to the futon thin mattress ( maybe 3" thick) sure I can feel the floor when my 188cm 104-5 Kg ( 6'2" 235Lb) body gets on it but once I am laying down now difference at all waking up feel the same as before if I was to tell people to sleep on the floor just put your bed mattress on the floor it's pretty much the same thing ;) ,I still get my average of 6 hours broken sleep either way it is much easier to flip the mattress around through hehe
When our whole-house AC went out during a heat wave, I took a window-unit from my garage workshop and put it in the living room window. My wife took the couch and I slept on I the floor, atop a sleeping bag. After a week, I learned that I loved it. No back or neck pains. My wife tried it and hated it, though. Worse, floor sleeping made snuggling (and snuggling++) difficult on her, and she's athletic. So, no mattress meant no nookie. So I thanked God when the repairmen fixed the AC!
Ty!
I have been sleeping on hard surface for 26 years approximately... Anyway, my hobby is "survival in extreme conditions"... I follow the raw carnivore diet, that is, almost always eat raw meat and raw offal... and drink fresh blood whenever it is possible, it is the natural energy drink...
I love your clickbait thumbnails haha. I wish you had the actual food and ate it after :P
Hahaha, thanks brother! 💪 I could eat it after, but not right after the fast! Ooh boy was it guuuud!
@@BarRookie Aww no recording?
Belly sleeping is actually bad for the hart. It hangs on an artery that way... I heard 't from a cardiologist 🌹
Sounds a bit weird! Does the cardiologist know you have lungs where the heart can rest on?
Going on 40+ years at this point.no clue how anyone can sleep on a " soft" surface
Thank you for this video it will be applicable for many years into the future as I am just now getting this exact pain and popping from doing weighted dips
Almost everywhere i see while doing push-up, going in lower phase retract scapula but going up protract scapula... can we completely retract scapula while going both up and down?
The best Dumbbells? I just bought Nuebells based on price but this video must have come put before Pepins where released...the KING of adjustable dumbbells!!!
You said each of the adder weights are 1 kilo each, this is Not true they are 2.5 pounds or 1.13 kilos each. So 2 adder weights are: 5 pounds or 2.27 kilos so it completely makes sense for American Imperial "Pound: system. Each handle = 5 pounds 1 Handle with both adder weights = 10 pounds then in POUNDS: 15, 17.5, 20, 25, 27.5, 30, 35, 37.5, 40, 45, 47.5, 50 YOU WILL LEARN, I WILL TEACH YOU . . .
Tganks for the in depth analysis brother! The only thing I see is that my adder weights where exactly 1 kg 😅 I even made a video where I weighted every individual part. How Accurate is the Power Block Sport EXP? Lets Weigh them! kzread.info/dash/bejne/dXx6w7GgmqXVftY.html In the end, it is the work you do with it and de progressive overload that will get you stronger. Non the less is fun to nerd out on this too 🤣
I had to stop sleeping on the floor/carpet because of my hips… I still have a firm mattress but if you have wide hips you can’t really have your spine straight on a hard surface
Using pronated grip on full motion (all the way up) pull-ups is a tendon killer if you're 35+. It is actually a super awkward movement though if you're young maybe it doesn't seem so. I finally figured that out after getting horrendous tendonitis trying to build lats and used neutral grip and it goes away. Though it is considered heresy by the full motion purists, now I've come to think partial pull-ups are actually better for isolating lats anyway, which makes grip less important depending on how many pull-ups you do.
Try neutral grip pull ups. Does wonders! Thanks for the tips brother!
Good tips, funny enough when I was younger I was obsessed with bigger forearms and I overkilled reverse curls and hammer curls and wrist curls and neglected biceps. I did have some awkward elbow pain for quite some time but I do more curls now and my elbows are good lol
My pain was never severe but what you explained basically matches up with my experience
Awesome! Great to see my experience with this is not unique!
Tried it last night for the first time. Woke up a lot and it was very comfortable, but I had a lot of crazy dreams.
Tennis elbow is caused by a strain to tendons in the forearm. So you need to rest, stretch and strengthen them. Nothing to do with biceps mate.
Bro, you're mixing things up, I'm talking about biceps for golfers elbow. The main thing is that your forearms get overworked because the bicep is not doing its job, especially when you get injured because of training.
@@BarRookie If you have any sources that show weak biceps can lead to overuse of forearm muscles, I'd like to read them. Otherwise you really should not be giving medial advice.
I'm not giving medical advice my friend, I'm mainly sharing my experience. The reason for that is because I went through it. I know the feeling that some people have where they go to medically trained professionals only to be given genereic solutions to their problems. I just want to come from the perspective of fellow gymbro. I don't have any refernce material, just my own experience of what worked and didn't work. Hope that helps getting things into perspective.
Thanks for the video
What helped me get rid of my golfer's elbow after 5 years and many many attempts. IASTM tool and massage gun to really get deep into the muscles. Chin and pullups with feet on the floor, many reps, different grips, really get a good pump going. Eating cartilege, collagen etc
Thanks for your comment brother! So basically reducing the inflammation and rebuilding the scar tissue. And after that, rebuilding of strength. Would you say you feel your forearm less activating now, compared to before?
I should add that my injury was from work related overuse. Not gym. Yes, just go deep with the IASTM, i was grimasing from tge pain. High rep continuing until the burn gets too painful. Less use of screens etc. Coincidence perhaps but happened same time as i was eating nattokinase and serrapeptase supplements
I recently "upgraded" my full rack to a half rack and I really like it. It's nice to be able to remove the safety bars and have a very compact footprint, but when you lift it's just as stable. I also use monolift attachments and it's nice having more space outside the rack.
Thanks man helps a lot
You are a life saver . So it's normal and I'm not only weird one to be dealing with this. I'm learning back leaver and suddenly I started feeling pain in my chest. I got freaked out and Came searching for probable reasons Just in case if have to see my doctor.
I don’t think I got much out of this video. I mean there just normal average pushups.
Thanks for your honest comment, the main idea is to be mindful of your posture when pushing and using your back as a stable platform to push out from. Hope this helps
Can’t we just do the same mechanics but just backwards. Wouldn’t it work In theory?
You mean like in a row? Ofcourse you can!
When my sternum is hurt i fix it by doing handstand
My God, out of all the videos I’ve watched to try to figure out how the hell this thing works, yours is the only one that actually explains how you get the leverage to work out knots in the upper back. Thank you!
bro i can’t name mire exercises with the z-bar other than bicep curls and triceps extensions , what versatility are you talking about ? , Also the safety squat bar is amazing fir squats and JM presses
The thing about the Z-bar is that it is light, so ideal for the girls to warm up overhead presses with. Also this bar was insanely cheap, so also ideal. JM press with a safety squat bar, I have to look into that! :o
@@BarRookie watch alex leonidas do it
I hope your hip gets better!
Thanks brother! Me too ;-)
Solid video boss
Thanks man! 🫡
Guys it is only due to anxiety
Wat exercise i should do
Bro this video is useful , I’m still feeling pain
Thank you
Have you ever tried grounding/earthing? I find that it improves my sleep - along with floor sleeping Walking on somewhat rough terrain with bare feet seems to do something magical I think it puts the right kind of pressure on the bottom of the feet - like a massage After walking barefoot my feet have a lingering tinckling sensation (which reminds me of the lingering feeling after cold shower/sea exposure). Beware that walking barefoot can take some getting used to - since our feet have probably gone our whole lives without feeling any real pressure from the ground + the muscles and everything needs to get used to this. So go easy in the beginning
Oh haha sleep as the best supplement. I'd have guessed creatine or something! Hehe
Creatine is probably the next best thing
DEEP dumbell pullovers keeping the hips low really helps with this, it forces you into a lot of exstension, and streatches out your sternum! It helped me a lot
I do it every other day, because my elbow would hurt if I did it everyday. I was not able to do pull-ups for 9 months because of my elbow pain.
Can it be fixed between a corridor?
So you made a video calling something a scam without even using it. Immature and pathetic.
Agree, invert the whole tile pullups inverted become push-ups! Simples
Thank you for your review! I'm almost buying the Powerblock Sport EXP 50 because, well, I like the size of these dumbbells, their increment range, and the fact that can be expanded (since I'm probably years away of doing more than 22.7 kg in each hand. I'm struggling though to understand the range , which I would like to because I do a lot of exercises with weights between 4 and 10 Kg. Officially we have this in this dumbbells: 1.1 2.2 3,4 | 4,5 6,8 | 7,9 | 9 | 11,3 | 12,5 | 13,6 | 15,8 | 17 | 18,1 | 20,4 | 21,5 | 22,7 kg Now the thing is, the selector goes 30/40/50 pounds (13.6/18.1/22.7 Kg), and each of the cylindrical weights are 1.1 Kg each. But I'm struggling to understand how can we achieve some ranges. I assume without the selector and the cylinders, the powerblock itself weighs 1.1 Kg, and then it goes to 3.4 kg with the cylinders. But then, how does it go up to 4.5, 6.8, or anything else between that and 11.3, until we use the selector?
very informative video, thank you!
You're welcome brother!
Dude, calm down
Good videos broskii
It's only 20kg
Thank you very much! I just startet my recovery and you gave me some great tips!
I am buying this one Organic Cotton Mattress Protector - Queen , let's see how it goes
With two palettes under the tatami you remove the mould problem and you get to the same height than the matress. If we only look for hard surface and not for earth contact we can just set a board at the proper height.
Very true! But I really like the getting off of the floor aspect too! Also, I have not experienced mold in the last 4 years.
@@BarRookie Good to know, the tatami seems to be a good option to prevent mold. Thanks.
Fun fact rogue doesn’t make the wrist wraps lmao
Ofcourse not! but they can decide the design, so it is a shame they did not thing of that.
