I made this routine, but I got tired of keeping the file open so I just made it into this nifty wallpaper. It makes me strive to do better, even on games I'm losing. Also with the benefit of keeping my in shape, it gives me a much needed break after each game, albeit a short one. It keeps me from going on tilt, and If I find myself on a losing streak, it's not long before I throw in the towel for the night, keeping me from getting farther in the hole. EDIT: My title writing skills are on point with my LoL skills

"report your team, run 1 mile" Jesus christ that's brutal. i get too many losing games that i do really well, i feel like it'd happen 3 times in a row lol

Maybe it's because I'm not as good as I'd like to be, I can admit I have room for improvement, but I can't even imagine getting an S+ and still losing.

I've done it. I have 21 S+ rankings with Rek'Sai, so at least one was a loss.

How can you check that?

DorkunedAuras1 votes

You can't, I've been manually keeping track. I have 21 S+ ranks with her, and 35 S ranks. Those are the only two I've kept track of.

The thing is that if you were doing good enough to be S+, you could do enough to win the game. If you lose being fed, it's your fault for not prioritizing objectives over kills. Yeah KDA is nice, but wouldn't a victory look better in your match history?

This makes it a lot better to get good at League. Excercising and breaks after a tense game if you have problems with tilt will help you a lot. Get done whatever needs to get done and then your mind will be in the game and you will do better if you're on tilt I guarantee

Why not just go to the gym for two hours everyday? (Or more) I run 1mile treadmill (walk the rest of the ten minute) 1 mile oliptical , 10 minute bike. Then go into 5 sets of: 10 hand elevated push ups, ten dumbbell situps(you count for every time to place the dumbbell so you're doing 20 situps per set) 1 minute rest inbetween each set. Then do 20 4-count scissor kicks right after the last set is finished

That's just my warmup^

After that's done it's free form to do whatever you want

For legs: I do the leg press or squats. For heavy lifting I do seated leg lifts. To increase gains and effectiveness you can optionally run 1/4-1/5 a mile before hand

For chest: bench press, simple enough.

Biceps: take bench press bar, add weights and curl it.

Shoulders: lift bench press bar above head, lower to shoulders. Repeat.

Triceps: Dumbbells, lay horizontal on a bench. Lower slowly to face then go back up

Back: pec fly and reverse shoulder flys on machine or with free weights

Lower legs: stand on toes on surface 1-2 inches off ground. Keep Legs straight and lower heels to Ground and then back up

Forearms: rows(also great for shoulders and back!)

After every workout hit the steamroom for 10-30 minutes, to work up that really good final sweat, then hop Right into the shower.

While that is a great workout, and I'm glad you got a chance to share it here on the boards, the gym is far from most of our minds while playing LoL. Some of us don't go to the gym, or even want to.

Obviously you don't approve of my workout for yourself, you need something more time consuming and intense and that's fine. This is perfect for me and any health nut knows; what is right for you or me may not be right for anyone else. Since this is the place to talk about League of Legends, I just wanted to share my positive experience with anyone else who might also benefit from it.

Maybe one day I'll have a gym membership and I'll look back on this post and see if I can handle your workout. Until then though, you keep being the best you can be and so will I.

I like your workout, nothing wrong with it (everyone has to start somewhere)

But I figure 2-3 hours of hardcore gym = mucho more time for other things (like league) I find that the more intense j workout in those 2-3 hours the less Likely I'll get annoyed or stressed over league!

Anyways good luck in league my friend!

It's proven that serotonin helps with dealing with stress, depression, and improves mood in males (probably in females as well, unsure so don't quote me).

You get serotonin from exercising, even if it is just for 45 minutes. :)

Arcade Andrew2 votes

Seretonin is one of the two that help. Dopamine is the main happy hormone

TallyZrg2 votes

Correct, Dopamine is released through the body when you complete goals, get closer to goals (milestones), and when eating. It makes you feel good about getting things done in an attempt to make you act better, live a meaningful life, etc.

It's the reason that you get hungry when bored, because your body is craving dopamine to try and get you to act better. Unfortunately the easiest access to dopamine is food and the mind is conditioned to get what it wants while expending the least amount of energy.

This plays into the pleasure trap, but now this is completely off topic so I'll stop here. Would highly recommend reading up on the pleasure trap if you are interested. Very intriguing topic.

One final thought: There is a chemical that can top Dopamine, and that is Oxytocin. It's the feeling you get when you help someone without asking anything in return, when you witness someone doing something heroic (or just a good deed, for the younger generation - "feels memes"), it's also the source of the "mother-child" bond as a massive amount of it is released at birth within the Mother. Oxytocin also comes with more perks such as having a stronger immune system and raising self confidence among others.

TLDR: Dopamine is good, gets released when completing goals/eating. Oxytocin is better, makes you feel good, improves immune system, raises confidence, is the source of Mother-child bond.

This seems like a great way for people to avoid going on tilt. I approve!

What if you can't run a mile, what would you suggest in replacing it? Not because im fat like scarra, but because I have a spinal injury?

ravenlockk1 votes

Well since I would have to assume a spinal injury would also prohibit push-ups and sit-ups, you may want to rethink the entire list. I am in no position to suggest exercises to a person with such misfortune.

I'm able to do things like push ups and some sit-ups(I have Sciatica, which is nerve damage in my spine) Your the first person to call it a misfortune rather then a simple injury or question such a possability at a young age and for that I thank you man, really it brightened up my day.
