Badminton and futsal here!

My badminton partners put in much less intensity than me... so I can vape without worry before my sessions...

for futsal, it's much harder! my partners put in intensity and it works the cardio!
I get called a bit at the last minute.... it can be very hard if I've vaped too much... but so far my fitness work of the last 2-3 years has worked well!

I hope to become a "starter"/regular in soccer...

In any case... I love my session after sport so much... shower, couch, goodbye!

Badminton is my go-to for sports too. Accompanied with some squash and pickleball as well.

I also love to vape after sports because the high feels awesome and really helps with stretching and recovery.

@fangorn - I forgot to mention that I love your avatar 😍. Did you work on that game? Ever had an Amiga computer back in the day? 🤔😃

Playing all three disciplines must be interesting!!
I like badminton... but soccer is way ahead on my podium!
Having the chance to do both is a luxury!!!

And for "Under a killing Moon"... I had totally forgotten about this game... I don't remember what detail reminded me of this game but it was a hell of a trip down memory lane!
My father was a computer engineer... I just enjoyed playing!
The atmosphere, the scenario, everything was incredible!

Glad to find someone for whom this game counted!! :cheers:

New Bike Day!

In my ongoing search for a dopamine bump, mountain biking been a constant. The climb up floods my system with endorphins, the safety break at the top adds THC to the mix, and adrenaline kicks in as soon as I point the bike downhill. It doesn't hurt that Pacific Northwest riding tends toward winch and plunge--all up, then all down.

Admittedly, I've been one of those mountain bikers who've engaged in a little trash talk (https://velo.outsideonline.com/road...you-and-your-adorable-baby-steps-into-gravel/) regarding the modern trend toward gravel bikes, which evolved from road bikes as roadies have become dirt curious. So I even surprised myself as the drop-bar, smooth-tired bikes started to grow on me. I hope I'm not over-romanticizing the aesthetic appeal of rolling deep into the forest just for the sake of covering miles, but as I age I'm realizing that exercise and time in the wild is doing more for my overall well-being than the adrenaline side of riding (though I'm certainly not giving that up). So, I built this:

I'm still not sure where this impulse originated, but this may have had some influence:


Now that the new bike is done, I'll be able to afford my VAS again. That new Simrell sure looks good for the safety breaks...

High Everyone! I'm an avid endurance athlete--triathlons, endurance runs/challenges and the like. Not pro, just a hard-core amateur. I've often wondered if there are any others out there like me--serious endurance athletes that also get baked regularly. I've never had the forum to ask, until now thanks to FC. :tup:

I was a long-time combuster and recently converted to vaporizing at the end of January. I fell head-over-heels immediately, thanks to the taste and brief education I received about the health benefits versus combustion. The dude that turned me on had an Iolite and was patient in teaching me about draw speed, etc, which helped.

I now consider myself an obsessed vapor enthusiast. I've purchased two other vapes since getting the Iolite the day after I tried it (ordered my first higher-end glass piece last week and am waiting for the VXC and HI). I've not combusted since I converted, and I feel great. I wasn't a cig smoker before--just sparked herb via bong--and I never thought smoking herb hindered my training/racing all that much, especially since I'm not competitive anymore and do it because I like it and want to stay fit. But now that I've nailed my vapor preferences and routine (both portable with MFLB and at home with viVape), I certainly feel better and especially notice it when out for longer workouts (I like to get baked before long training sessions). I'm anxious to see what the next few months have in store as I further hone my vaporizing skills.

So, anyone else out there like me? Or am I a total loon as I've feared all along? :mental:

I lift weights, a joint always helps me get the food in, been smoking J's for 3 years and I can feel it in the lungs. I really wanna make the switch but I'm afraid I wont be able to find something that can really replace it.

It's been a long time!
The approach of spring makes me want to get back to running. I'm going to take it very gradually to get my knees used to it again.

But futsal is really cool!

However, it's funny how I can be in good shape or not from one week to the next...

Generally, I try not to vape within 2 hours of starting, to sleep well, to eat at the right time...

Tonight... I had slept less than 4 hours, I vaped 1 hour before... and I had a great session...

And... I scored the same half-volley as Zidane against Bayer Leverkusen in the 2002 final... (I've never played as a striker... more of a defender/midfielder).

It was a really, really good thrill! 🤣

I do a lot of Kettlebell work 5x a week (doubles, singles, clean and press, strength endurance focused complexes, loaded carries) and I love having a vape before hand. I feel it really helps me get this innate feeling of how the form should be and when there are any deviations. I don’t find it makes any difference to the endurance aspect of complexes and such, which combusting used to do.

I do a little bit of boxing for fun too, nothing serious.. I’m too old to get whacked about in a serious way! I’m already drain bamaged enough :lol: One thing I’ve noticed with having a vape before hitting the heavy bag is that it helps you get a real feel for the mechanics - power coming up from the ground, through the hips and shoulders as they rotate, and that nice schnaaaapppp on the bag when you get the whip of the arm perfect. Something about hitting the bag with perfect kinematics while you’re baked is just SO satisfying to me.

I also enjoy long cycle rides with mates on our 26inch BMX style cruisers. The bike of choice for skate park rats that had to grow up. We don’t do anything too intense but it’s a nice steady cardio with pretty scenery, just a fun day out on a sunny day really. I enjoy this a lot after a vape and we will often pull up when we find a nice stop and have a session. Cycling high is the shit man. Just don’t do it on the road!

Back when I combusted I’d feel very groggy and lethargic and I’d always save it for after I’ve done my athletic endeavour of choice. Vaping is something I find very athletically compatible. While a very conduction biased vape can sometimes sit me down, the temp control lets you find that sweet spot every time.
