Almost posted this in the salty thread but now that it's almost 13 pages I figured it would get lost in the hustle. Was discussed in earlier pages about how I learned to deal with not breaking controllers and other salty behaviors, but I figured I would post this and see if any of you guys would like to try it as well.
Here is how it works, all you need is MK9 and online. Any game will however work. You play until you get salty as shit, and I mean madder than hell, but instead of yelling, or breaking something you pick an exercise from this list and do the number of reps given. I do not recommend doing reps to failure. Heart rate that high, and muscle fatigue will lead to dropped combos and more saltiness. Also make sure your form is decent while doing these don't wanna injure yourself. Do them in any order. I'll post videos on the more complex ones. You can do more or less of the reps than I have posted. I figured these were good base numbers to start with, if it's not wearing you out, add a few.
Push ups = 50
(do what is comfortable for you until your chest gets tight, not what brings you to failure)
Crunches = 50
(Basic crunches, do any form you feel most comfortable with, can alternate obliques)
Jump Squats = 30
(Start in squat position, and explode into the air. Try to land softly back into squat position
)
Jump Lunges = 30
(15 each leg alternating) (Start in lunge position on one side and explode into the air landing on other side alternating each side on jump.
)
Level 1 drills = 4
(Start standing in neutral position, drop down into burpee or plank position and do 4 pushups, followed by 8 mountain climbers on ground, Hop back to neutral,
)
Power squats = 30
(same as jump squats but no jumping, you power down into squat position then hop back up to standing)
High Knee Runs = 30 seconds
(run in place bringing knees up past your waist, keep core tight)
Ski Abs = 8 sets
(hold pushup position, hands at shoulder width. Keep core tight and spring feet toward chest working obliques on right side, then spring feet back into neutral position. Alternate both sides. Do a complete left and right alternation to complete 1 set.
)
Now most of these are high intensity exercises to sweat the salt right out of you. But it all depends on how much you get mad at the game as to whether or not you are going to get a good workout. If people start doing this, and posting their play session results I might add different exercises to try, or others can add some to the list. Let me know if it helps any of you maintain composure and pissed off levels like it does for me. Been doing this for a bit now and I'm less likely to break a controller after i'm tired as hell. These are a few of the exercises i've been doing when I get mad. Like I said though, if more people do this I'll add more and beef up the list. If General isn't the place for this I can move it to off topic. Figured it would be a nice companion to the salty thread.
