Correct, bacta tanks are also used on Vader who was damn near incinerated. It being body temperature has something to do with it though because your body wouldn’t have to work as hard to keep your core temp stable.
I’m not sure there is any temperature that would both allow the body to remain heated exclusively through passive heat generation while also letting the body avoid overheating. Granted, higher thermal conductivity of liquids can make the task a little easier, but still I’m not sure there exists such a perfect temp.
Internet slang isn’t always in the dictionary. Like you could have told us to “look it up sweaty” which is 100% correct mematically but definitely not grammatically.
Dude, I feel this so much today. The week’s been full of exams, cramming for them, barely enough sleep to get through the day, and today was my last exam for the next two weeks. It felt like such a huge relief that it had to be Friday
Legitimately the best sleep I ever got was when I had a hammock. It takes a bit of adjustment, but once you’re used to it, it’s so easy to wake up. I haven’t felt fully rested since I replaced my hammock with a bed
How does one legitimately sleep in a hammock? Ain’t it about as bad as lying on back and both sides at the same time, but also with fear of falling out or hammock itself falling down?
A properly built hammock is sturdy enough that it isn’t gonna fall down, and because the middle of it dips down with your weight, the sides come up sort of like a bowl and hold you in. Sleeping on your back isn’t actually that bad, and once you get used to it, you figure out how to spin slightly to one side or the other for comfort.
For reference, I was sleeping in a travel hammock meant for camping every night for about a year, I weighed over 200 lbs at the time, and even after the canvas started to tear at the seam, it never actually failed. The only reason I got rid of it is because the tear started to grow over the course of about a week.
Edit: also, for safety, I had a couple old comforters under it to cushion a potential fall, and an old pillow underneath my head for more protection. Never ended up actually needing them, but it’s an option
Holy shit that’s the bastard that hurts and tightens when I don’t walk around enough or I lay on the sofa too long on my back.
When I get up my back will be bent forward and tight. It feels so tight round the back and inside it feels like I’m shorter at the waist. Weird, horrible feeling. It goes away if I pivot round on my hips and walk round a bit.
I’ve found what aggravates it most is if I’m on my back and have my legs up. Basically the more L-shaped my body is on it’s side or back (legs up) the worse it gets. If I do lots of walking or running it loosens it up.
Motherfucking QL - I see you now you bastard. I know where you live! I know what you look like! I’m gonna fuck you up!
I’d recommend checking in with a professional (GP, physiotherapist, sports masseuse) if you need to get that tightness worked through. You can try get at it yourself with something small and firm like a lacrosse or golf ball but it’s pretty tricky to get at this muscle yourself given how deep it is. I’ve managed to relieve it on occasion lying on my back with a lacrosse ball wedged under. I move it around the area in a gentle circular motion for a little while, then bring the knee of the tight side to my chest, then extend it again.
Tight hamstrings and sleepy glutes exacerbate the issue, and I’d recommend a short routine of lower body static stretches (28-30s each) for your QLs, hams hips and so on before bed (and maybe some shorter, more active mobility exercises when you wake up too). kinda boring on its own but pretty great with a podcast on.
And as you’ve already found, staying mobile helps a great deal. if you work behind a desk, it could be worth looking into something adjustable so you can stand whenever you’d like.
I’m not a doctor, but some combination of deadlifts and running have saved my lower back. I notice a huge difference in my back pain if I don’t workout for a while – these last few weeks of snow mean I’m not running as much, and the pain of NOT moving sufficiently is different and worse than the soreness from weightlifting! It’s surprisingly noticable.
Appreciate it but I’ve always found “lifting heavy” sssssoooooooooo fecking boring!!! I’d sooner do 30-60mins of intense Ashtanga yoga, a JJ class or even a quick run. The thought of lifting heavy objects puts me to sleep.
I used to own a load of weights and a rack. I spent hundreds on a home gym but after 6 months I wanted to murder everyone and myself! It was SO frustrating. I dunno how people do it cos it just isn’t for me. I’m getting on a bit (40) so I defo need to do something to keep myself active. I may go back to yoga. Ashtanga has lots of static bodyweight holds & lifts so it’s not just stretching.
I hear that, and fun music is how I enjoy it. I listen to a lot of reggaeton and cumbia. Knowing that I’m getting stronger, and improving my future living standard, are also plenty motivating. Like I said, back pain and then no back pain? I’ll do it.
It also scared the shit out of me to realize that some people my age couldn’t do an air squat… I don’t want to get old like that!
But, movement and strengthening in general is where it’s at. This works for me, but whatever keeps you interested. I don’t mean to make this an ad for my exercise routine!
