Warframe. Highly repetitive grind. The results of your grind are satisfying, but ultimately just make you want to grind more.
>>322268181
>Can't English?
No I meant to Type To Learn, a game that teaches you how to type efficiently, increasing finger dexterity and making you a fast ass typer. It was mostly just a joke post though.

Sorry, no.
Shit like this, and I'm not joking:
http://dagobah.net/flash/Cursor_Invisible.swf
Things that work on fundamentals like muscle memory, APM, and reaction times. So... fighting games is probably where you're going to end up practicing, even if you want to do something like RTS/FPS.
>>322269279
>>have to rely on others for 4/5ths of what goes on
If you can't legit carry 4 scrubs against 4 other scrubs and that one guy who's trying to carry them, then maybe you should try button-mashing fighting games instead :^)

fucking retarded
>>322269615
Okay, smart guy. Tell me who wins in a game with 1 masterful player (such as yourself) with 4 retards vs 2 people are are just as good as you with 3 retards? Every game isn't going to be "one real player and 4 retards vs one other real player and four other retards".
The point is, there are too many factors at play for Dota 2 to be fundamental practice. That is like asking someone to improve their individual strength by playing a game of 5v5 tug of war.

what is the SS+GOMAD of video games?

>>322267164
>What is the lifting of video games?
Basically any FPS, RPG, Fighting, or Action game that gets to you to think of the games mechanics.
>What can be done for optimal competitive performance, including diet, exercises, and efficient practice strategies?
For the most part its first and foremost reaching the 3 digits in world ranking. Then from there just keeping at it and trying to improve.
As per food, just a normal diet is fine, relying on sugar rushes is bad since you eventually crash. Anything other stimuli you basically under the equivalent of "PED"s. Which means it ain't your actual skill and you're lying to yourself.
>Also, what are your favorite competitive games?

A guy I know took pills supposedly, and he got huge.
I would rather figure out how to get huge natty gainz than "cheat" though. There are examples of over-doubling T just from diet and exercise.http://www.artofmanliness.com/2013/01/18/how-to-increase-testosterone-naturally/

>>322276141

The problem is doctors don't prescribe often unless it's incredibly low
>>322267164
Sup, OP. I play fighting games competitively (KI and Sm4sh at the moment) and I'll be happy to weigh in.
>Diet
I drink water, green tea, and black coffee. I eat a mostly pescetarian diet with grass fed organic beef twice a week. As far as carbs I eat oatz, quinoa, and legumes, and not much else aside from sugar in fruit.
>Fitness
HIIT cardio every morning, Mon-Sat, PPL Mon-Sat, I never workout on Sundays.
>Personal/social
I date an educated, sane woman with her own life, and have an active social life and a small, but close circle of friends.
>Gaming
I meet up with friends from my local scene at least twice a week, regularly compete in tournaments at home and abroad. I don't play every day; actually I would recommend avoiding online play especially before tournaments because you pick up some bad habits, KI is the only game whose netcode is remotely close to side by side play.
Eat well, work out, get out of the hosue regularly, practice vidya often but always with purpose. (Don't play against people that can't teach you anything, your online stats mean fuck all.)
>>322277972
Green tea can supposedly lower T in some quantities.
How're the competitions?
>>322279205
>Green tea can supposedly lower T in some quantities
I haven't noticed any issues. Then again, I eat a lot of T boosting food.
>How're the competitions
My region (Western NY) has a thriving, growing scene. I usually top 16 at tourneys with anywhere from 80 to 300 people.
I've done very well at some of the bigger tournaments, but I've never won Evo or anything.
>>322277972
diet nearly has no effect on e-sports performance, u only need your brain and not a physically fit body.if u just avoid rly bad foods it shud be fine enough.
look at bjergsen from LoL, he fuckin eats burger king or any other junk food everyday and it doesnt fuckin matter.

grind endlessly and see numbers get bigger
>>322267685
You're gonna get shit for this, but I'd have to agree.
MOBAs are a great all around exercise for situational awareness, build pathing, micromanagement and decision making.

>>322281523
No, I'm just calling you out on your bragging about fake weights. Who the fuck cares about max weight? It's useless.
>>322281651
No need to go hurting people's feelings now breh
>>322281183
>12x4
what the fuck am I reading
>>322281960
4 sets of 12 reps.
>>322276780
>Can't benchpress 22kg
You best be joking. That was my warmup when I started lifting, and I had never done any weight lifting before at all back then.
Do you have any physical conditions?
>>322282004
That's 4x12 you fucking idiot. Go read the sticky on /fit/ and educate yourself.
>>322282004
yeah, what I said
read the sticky
>>322282057
Well, it's that plus the 45 lb from the bar. I can go up to 45 on each side but I can only pull 5 or 6 reps and I don't have a spotter.
>>322282057
Fat fucks need not apply.
>>322267164
lifting is a shit-tier exercise for body health and muscle development.
So league of legends I guess

he's right though, the way most people lift is completely retarded and based on uneducated guesses while also ignoring cardiovascular training
good thing you can also do it properly
>>322282861
t. masterlifter
>>322283231
I don't care what you think, if you don't do cardio you're retarded
>>322282403
you're probably one of those who think you can get ripped just by swimming or playing tennis lmao
>>322282729
>not warming up
I hear action/shooters are the lifting of mental gains.
>In controlled tests, folks who played action games showed “faster and more accurate attention allocation, higher spatial resolution in visual processing, and enhanced mental rotation abilities.” Apparently, the improvement in spacial skills that gamers develop are comparable to those developed in formal (high school and university-level) courses designed to teach the same skills.
>Enhanced cognitive performance is not documented for all video game genres. The most robust effects on cognitive performance come from playing shooter video games and not from, for example, puzzle or role-playing games
>>322282729
that's at least 70kg
>>322283667
>getting ripped
>body health
pick one and only one, faggot.
>>322283789
Nah family. The big plates are 25lbs, the medium 15lbs and the small ones probably 5lbs. Also it's a small and thin bar, looks like 15lbs at most. Okay that's close to 50kg but it's still weak as shit.
I play Yakuza 5 while doing squats.
>>322284240
Who cares about numbers with a body like that desu senpai
>>322267164
I just lift and play Miku or IA between sets.
Playing a song after deadlifts always makes me feel like I'm in the zone.
>>322267164
Depends on what lifting "genre". I am a powerlifter myself and I would say that powerlifting would probably be Fighting Games.
Brosplits would probably be First Person Shooters, Call of Duty etc.
No idea what comp. bodybuilding would be tho.
Any here try a standing desk?
>>322284959
That guy should, if he did he wouldn't be so small
>>322281183
>>322280926
Are you retarded? Who cares about multiple sets, if someone asks you for your stats you state your one rep max.
Also
>doing 4x12
Dyel?
>people who can't 2 plate
1 on each side babies
>>322290042
Uh, there are 2 plates on each side on a 2 plate lift. Sorry senpai.
>>322290042
says the guy who has clearly never lifted in his life, judging by your incorrectness of 2 plate
>>322286024
Oh man I thought I was the only one that played Miku rhythm games after a workout session.
Why is that a thing?
>>322267164
>What can be done for optimal competitive performance, including diet, exercises, and efficient practice strategies?
A lot of sleep and sugar
>>322290765
Refined sugar pulls nutrient stores and replaces them with nothing, which is a main reason why it's worthless intake.
Caffeine is documented as improving performance, mood, and other states by over 10%, whereas sugar supposedly reduces performance.
>>322290530
It's really relaxing and a nice way to wind down. I don't know why other people don't give it a try but they're really missing out.
>Why is that a thing?
Sorry, I'm not sure I follow.
>>322291097
caffeine is so based
i drink like 4 cups of coffee and take vitamin d and fish oil supps in addition to brotein shake with a bunch of random vitamins and whatever
i also put on lotion after showers

Pick three. If you can you'll ever look like them with just diet and training, you're a naive fuck. Roids are what do most of the work, and while you can still achieve a decent body with just diet and training it can take years and years based on your genetics and you'll still never look as good as someone who is roiding
>>322291625

You might want to rethink taking vitamins.
Unless you have a disorder or live in a third world country you dont need them. And too much of certain ones is actually bad.
>>322296019
Mm.. B vitamins are great for energy, minerals are minimal, A and D and E are pretty underfed for plenty of diets, etc.
