    Forced myself to finish the last 100 pages of Atomic Habits yesterday (good book but it becomes incredibly redundant after the first few chapters imo).  Starting "How To Avoid A Climate Disaster" by Bill Gates, the goat, tomorrow because Purdue plays tonight <3<3<3

    Actually, drop your supplement stacks.  My current is:

     

    Vitamin D

    Elderberry

    Magnesium

    Creatine

     

    Sometimes Ghost pre-workout, and sometimes Ghost EAA's intra-workout.

     

    I dabble in ghost alot, they have the best flavors on the market IMO. 

     

    daily vitamin

    creatine (will stop after this rotation)

    pre-workout

    whey protein post-workout

    BCAA (just bought for post-workout as well)

    So we are in this forum chatting most days, is anyone else on the Gym kick at the moment? If so lets share goals and what we want to achieve and try and keep each other accountable for the ones that struggle with motivation/dedication!

     

    I have been really focusing on weight lose since the start of Feb and I am down 8kgs been focusing hard on calorie counting (well Kilojoules but lets not get into that debate) and trying to get to gym at least 3x per week.

     

    What are your goals and how can we help? 

     

    I have a few resolutions this year that are loosely related to working out; getting below 10% body fat, recovering/sleeping better (I quantify this as averaging 7 hours of sleep per week) and not drinking a minimum of 3 days a week.

     

    Focusing on meal preparation on Sundays has gone a long way, and I make sure I grocery shop on the way to work to avoid ordering carryout or delivery during the work week.

     

    Regarding sleeping, this has been getting better however like Bana suggested, I too find myself wide awake in the middle of the night, albeit occasionally.  I have read (currently reading Atomic Habits) that it is good to get out of your bed if you cannot fall back asleep after ~15 minutes and focus on a light task, ie., reading, to wind back down.  If your body recognizes other activities while in bed you are not going to fall asleep as easily, it argues.  

     

    Related to working out, I do about an hour of cardio/lifting first thing in the morning but if I don't recover properly (ie., last night I got 5 hours of sleep and took a nap earlier today) I will be sleeping in tonight to try and get back on the right side of recovering for the next 4-5 of gym or workouts.

     

    The cut-back in drinking I tried to manage by monitoring the amount of drinks per week last year, but found that it did not get me closer to my goal and rather was an excuse to have a drink after work every day.  Strictly stopping (I focus on Sun, Mon, Tues) has been much easier since I usually am busier with work on these days.

     

     

    Season 93 VHL Mock Draft - Presented by frescoelmo (+ JUICY DEETZ)

    in Media Spots

    Posted

    Hello - the frescoelmo agency is putting out their version of a first round mock draft for this year's VHL Entry Draft, also presented by frescoelmo.  This mock draft will draw a lot of parallels to others, with a twist; it is based on member reputation!  We took the top sixteen players currently based on TPE (put it in the airrrr) and re-ranked them based on, basically, how respected they are in the Victory Hockey League.  Also frescoelmo will grade each team on a scale of ten if their latest player in the agency, Forum Content (read; goat), would want to play there.  Here we go (party emoji):

    Round 1

     

    Pick #1 - Davos - @Victor - LW Gianfranco Del Rocco - Davos would be happy to select this fine male with the top pick.  It is basically a flip of the coin between him and Antonia anyways.  WOULD FRESCO PLAY THERE 5/10

     

    Pick #2 - Seattle - @CowboyinAmerica - C Antonia Bucatini - The highest practice hour player slides to Seattle at the second pick?  Bana is sprinting to the podium.  WOULD FRESCO PLAY THERE 8/10

     

    Pick #3 - Riga - @frescoelmo - LW Forum Content - A lot of talent on Riga's first two lines would make this an interesting addition.  WOULD FRESCO PLAY THERE 4/10

     

    Pick #4 - Vancouver - @fonziGG - RW Yermolai Nabokov - Absolute HOTS god who also churns out a good player here and there.  Vancouver could definitely do worse.  WOULD FRESCO PLAY THERE 10/10

     

    Pick #5 - Chicago - @Rhynex Entertainment - LW Miner vHLer - Is there better talent available?  Yes.  Would Cole be upset with this pick?  No?  WOULD FRESCO PLAY THERE 3/10

     

    Pick #6 - Davos - @LucyXpher - D Lucy Leitner - This is a great value pick for Alex.  The first blueliner comes off the board much later than anticipated.  WOULD FRESCO PLAY THERE 5/10

     

    Pick #7 - Malmo - @Crstats23 - LW Chris Reynolds - Malmo lands a good developmental player who should be ready for primetime in Season 95.  WOULD FRESCO PLAY THERE 9/10

     

    Pick #8 - Prague - @Pifferfish - G Jorgen Lovstrom - This realistically could be a play that new GM tetricide could make.  They do not have a future netminder to replace Murdock.  WOULD FRESCO PLAY THERE 6/10

     

    Pick #9 - Moscow - @eagle_3450 - LW Jean-Pierre Devote - Spartan gets what will likely be one of the best value adds of the draft (see: tampering) with eagles.  WOULD FRESCO PLAY THERE 4/10

     

    Pick #10 - Moscow - @Nathan_8 - RW Nathan Ecker - pairing this fine gentleman on the same line for the next half decade?  Sign me up.  WOULD FRESCO PLAY THERE 4/10

     

    Pick #11 - New York - @chikn - C Vanuza Kolesinska - This just feels like a New York pick; they have two aging centers and will need to replace Lecavalier soon.  WOULD FRESCO PLAY THERE 3/10

     

    Pick #12 - Davos - @UghSike - LW UghSike - If the namesake of the player agency falls this far, I think Davos had the best draft in recent memory.  All-star lineup in round one.  WOULD FRESCO PLAY THERE 5/10

     

    Pick #13 - Toronto - @Noodle Enjoyer - RW Annie Oaks - Easily the biggest drop for who is almost assured to be a top five selection, Moon will get giddy and type in ALL CAPS FOR ABOUT AN HOUR.  WOULD FRESCO PLAY THERE 2/10

     

    Pick #14 - Helsinki - @Mutti - G Ondrej Vencko - On paper this makes sense and I could see this goalie landing in Finland as the future there.  WOULD FRESCO PLAY THERE 1/10

     

    Pick #15 - Riga - @Schnee - D Benjamin Abenduct - I honestly don't think as a league we are talking about this guy enough.  Certified banger for 8 seasons.  Great first round for Riga if this happened.  WOULD FRESCO PLAY THERE 4/10

     

    Pick #16 - Riga - @MSouthworth - D Gul Dukat - This name sounds familiar, probably from another league.  Could be talked about as highly as Davos' first round if this guy fell to Riga.  Could you imagine him and Abenduct together?  Jeez.  WOULD FRESCO PLAY THERE 4/10

     

     

     

     

    ps.  if I spelled anyone's player name wrong I did this in about 30 minutes.

    As Forum Content gets ready for the upcoming Season 93 VHL Entry Draft, teams have started to reach out and request interviews with the young forward from Chile.  Looking forward to getting selected to a parent team in the VHL is exciting, and the process during the welfare/pension era has changed from simply "taking the best player available" to something more consistent with hospitals matching with candidates.  Who best fits with what we are trying to accomplish?  What attributes or playing style are you most interested in spending practice hours on?  Maxing out on weekly capped TPE?  Not as big of a deal any more, at least in the first round or two.

     

    To summarize, here is what Forum Content is aspiring to be in the Victory Hockey League:

     - Does he know what kind of player he wants to be?  no

     - Will he be capping out on weekly TPE? mostly (11/12 with pension)

     - Will he be available and active in locker rooms?  I will check daily but it is subject to who else is in the locker room

     - Will he go Eli Manning and not play for your team? no

     - Will be go to the VHLE?  yes

     

    Feel free to PM with any other questions thx

    Forum Content - Weekly Game Manager

    in VHL.com Articles

    Posted

    No, this is not about the next incredibly mediocre player from player-agent frescoelmo, however I should probably talk about him more.  This is about a position I think the VHL should roll out (or bring back??), specifically to discord; hosting weekly games in a discord voice channel.  Remember chat circa May 2020?  Stayed up late playing free or paid games with your fellow VHL teammates and friends?  Whatever happened to that?  Just a bunch of clickers now (yes)?  

     

    This job should be reserved for a member without a current VHL job and would warrant, in theory, 1-2 TPE per week.  Would include setting up and moderating/planning no less than 2 weeknight games in discord, open to all members.  Let's go with one free game and one paid game per week.  Can be voted by members, or picked by the game manager.  Who knows?  The sky is the limit.

     

    Someone tell BOG to implement this thx.
