HI

My arms lacked any muscle definition prior taking in sm, ffr. now I can see 3, 4 different muscles on my arm, clearly defined.

I have actually had an intellectual increase since starting FFR a year ago. It's improved myself reaction-wise, for sure, but it actually proves the point of pratice makes perfect. I apply the same method to my study techniques and BAM, I have a 4.0 GPA.

Because in school, like in FFR, practice makes perfect.

Mathematics and chemistry are perfect examples. To make sure you can do the calculations, you practice. Just like you practice to get good at FFR.

I think that it might help you in some occasions. Now, it can't be good for your eyesight. The way it helped me is that when I started playing ffr. I completely sucked at guitar (I still do). Now that I have skill at FFR, I have gotten better at guitar. If that didn't make any sense, then here is a simplified version. FFR HELPS YOU!!!!

Not sure if this is fake or not. I remember a thread being made about this article not that long ago.

Anyone who belives you is 5% stupider than the average person because you have absolutely no evidence supporting what you say.

Yeah... there are a lot of people I know that play video games ALL THE TIME and they are dumber than the average Joe. I also know some other people that are really smart. I doubt theres a correlation between intelligence and playing video games... this is just a guess though!

Video games encourage procrastination. I would say lazy people who only play video games end up getting worse grades, although I do know a guy who never does anything but play games and sleep in class and still gets good grades in 5 AP classes....

Anyways, FFR has not helped my grades at all. It has helped me put off homework and be slightly more stressed out in the end. It does help with sightreading music, slightly. The concept is the same, but the technique differs.

Overall, I think this game hasn't affected my intelligence. It has made me lazy.

Just for curiosity's sake, name for me what those "5 AP classes" are.

2 are honors classes, not AP classes. I guess I meant "weighted" classes.

He is acing Honors English, Honors Physics, AP Chemistry, AP Calculus AB, and AP US History.

Sounds like hes a junior, however i think its interesting how he can take a physics class and a chemistry class at the same time. I dont think they allow that here...

This game only lets you comprehend information that is worthless in other activites faster and faster.
lol, same here. im less responsible..and my IQ dropped by 20 points.(so i barely understood that paragraph xD)
i was smart before FFR, then i got a little dumber after 1.13 years

Yes, correct.
Well, I take both chemistry and physics, too. We can do that here. It is enjoyable for nerds like me.
