It worked for me better than meditation, but everyone is different. If you do go for it, just make sure that the videos are explicitly marked as for beginners because they can end up trying some intense or weird poses you’re not ready for otherwise. Personally I liked ‘Yoga with Kassandra’ when I was learning, but everyone’s body is different so shop around a bit of she doesn’t vibe with you.

If you’re not used to Yoga lingo:

  • Vinyasa(sometimes called by the more general term, Hatha) Yoga is normally what people think of when they think of yoga. It features reasonably quick pose transitions and usually a variety of poses that hit most of your body.
  • Yin Yoga is a lot slower and more meditative. It usually involves passively holding poses for 3-5minutes each and is meant to improve flexibility and joint health. The stretches are longer but can be as intense as you want them to be.
  • Most others types of yoga are quite a bit more specialized or trendy and you should probably stay away from until you’re sure it’s something you like and want to do.

Even with ADHD I’ve found that if you can push past the initial fidgetyness you can get a lot of good value from meditation.

If it’s really out of the question for you, try yoga. It’s basically just meditation + stretching and gives you something to focus your body on in the meantime. There’s a lot of good YouTube videos and creators out there to do it for free on your own time and at your own pace.

There definitely is a text chat, I’ve seen many streamers use it. It’s easy to miss though because it shows up as small text near your avatar with your callouts.

A root canal procedure requires the drilled cavity to be filled and then a surface filling after the abscess is drained. I think their wording is fine.

Not woke means with huge boobs. Big hair. Big asses and bigger attitudes. To finally show that cute barista with the blue hair that I am a MAN and I will NEVER back down.

I hope that cleared it up for you.

Ideally you would use a freestanding barbell, but a dumbbell modification is perfectly okay. You’ll lose out on working a lot of your stabilizers and will likely have to favor your back or legs with positioning at a smith machine and it makes the overall movement of the exercise pretty awkward and ineffective.

I like to recommend this site as a quick reference guide to find exercises if I want to change things up when planning for a workout. There is a directory sorted by muscle group and articles that are actually fairly well written, including citations usually if that interests you. I linked to the general article because it links to the more specific muscle groups from it because like most exercise focused sites it can be a little tough to navigate.

As another user noted, deadlifts when done with good form will work your traps and spinal erectors along with the rest of the posterior chain. Take some time to really make sure you have good form before you hurt yourself when you try to push higher weights.

I strongly recommend following a more strict workout in the beginning rather than winging it so that you don’t start yourself off with major muscle imbalances. At the very least, add in some bicep work on your back day, triceps on your chest day, and abs and shoulders whenever you can squeeze them in.

I expect them to try harder and with at least 30% more bravado!

Why is Sigma listed higher than Beta and Gamma? Do these so-called alphas not know the Greek alphabet?
