Thanks for all your encouragement, have a great day.
Hahahaha why are you locked up?
Seriously bro, if youre learning only for the brain exercise - thats a more legit reason then any. Using hi opt 2 Ace side count will help you most in this endeavor in the same way that if you want to build muscle you lift weights that cause failure at around 4 to 8 reps and max muscle hypertrophy ( hiopt2) rather then endlessly lifting those little pink 20 lb weights and doing karate in the mirror ( hi lo)
Its easy to say you dont have a head for numbers but this isnt a numbers game - its a game of SKILL. It would be like saying youre not going to be any good at baseball because there are too many numbers of bases and outs and strikes etc..you just memorize some numbers the way you would memorize a phone number or address or rules of a game and then you use skill to obtain the right number for any given situation.
Thats where the uncomfortable part comes in and where most people quit - that pain in your head coupled with that gnawing frustration in your soul are the side effects of the physical process of becoming good at something when you used to be shitty at it - as you train, and skip over a card or accidentally count the 4 as 1 instead of 2 or an ace comes up and you add it to the main count like an idiot - its like a tangible feeling of unpleasentness, this is your friend, you must embrace your friend and allow him/her to pull your unwilling, inertia- bound ass out of the easy pit of stagnation up into the light. What is actually happening when you do this is that the inactive neural connections that werent doing anything besides binge watching madmen on netflix in their underwear until you kicked their ass into gear by repeatedly training a skill which engages them are being wrapped in progressively thicker layers of myelin. Which might not sound important until you realize that myelin is the insulation around the "wires" of neural connectivity in your brain and allow for the quicker transmission of the signal that eventually becomes your entire reality of thought, feeling and action - but the degeradation of the myolin sheathing in your neurons is what causes FUCKING ALZHEIMERS.
So yeah, if youre going to learn for brain health go with the crossfit of hiopt2 asc and skip the doing karate in the mirror of hi lo
Much love,
(Oh and any unhelpfuls you see in this post were given by jealous twats who use hi lo because "lifting weights is hard waaaah!")
