Juri anon akuma diary day 18
I began the "killer' max damage- burnout combo training yesterday. I waited until now to do it because I wanted to see if something more optimal came up for moderns.
However my training is pretty particular: I had some training in neuroscience, so there a few tips I picked up along the way that can maximize my learning process.
1- The secret to building building memory is in fact, stress. Stress tells the brain: this is important, learn it. This is why relaxed absentminded combo training doesnt work.
So, I find ways to artificial increase stress to make sure I am taking advantage of every second.
I for example do a 20 minute session in seiza: the samurai sitting position thingy. That makes your legs eventually hurt. After the 20 minute session yesterday I told myself: One to get up? Do it right once. I was there suffering for about another 20 minutes until it finally did it once. It was pure pain.
I did the same thing squatting. and with my leg rising in juri pose. Similar deal. After 20 minutes, I would tell myself: " tired? Do it once more and you can leave'.
It might have worked, for when I woke up today, I was doing so great I told myself to do two in a row instead if I wanted to leave, and did those easily. Tomorrow I will be three, and so on until 20.
2- Post training, a good way to make sure memories are consolidated is adrenaline and dopamine. The easiest way to get those is a cold shower, but there is an even more power way: the ice bath.

Research shows it has similar effects in boosts. It was painful, but it also releases ache from walking so at least there is some benefit. I wont get the ones to the rest of my muscles until I can get a full tub I suppose but this will do for now.
And for the last note: I got FUCKING GREAT results with one leg standing. I do better than sitting in what combo effectiveness regard. I would need to acquire more data about it but I recall something about balance training improving motor memory in general. Think about it, normally any aspect of motor memory, swinging a sword, kicking, involves also some sort of balancing done simultaneously. It is logical motor pathways were wired to improve together, even if those motor muscles are those in your fingers.
I think I saw some youtube video about it too regarding learning french faster by standing in one feet but I cant find it now.
In any case you will know its me in EVO: I will be the one standing on one feet if this is not an statistical fluke.
If anyone wants to try this "hack", please report. To get to where no one has gone before , you cant do what everyone else is doing.
