Just watched Joshua vs Parker .. That was a close fight and ya that ref was a wreck. The final score cards were way off IMHO, really it could have gone either way. Wasn't impressed with Joshua, for once.

Joshua was way too cautious with parker and wasn't letting his hands ago lot. But I never did think parker had a chance based on his previous fights, but he did ok in this fight.

But there were a lot of close rounds, but I think the judges based on who is more active, while parker had moments of aggression. But ye I had it about 116 - 112 to joshua.

No problem. If you can get time during the day I can give you link to the full fight if I find it.

thanks!

I heard Perkins/Joshua was nuts and horribly ref'd.

Can watch full fight via this link. Russian commentary but you can mute it if you want.

With the joshua parker fight, joshua utilized his distance effectively and landed the jabs, parker was sometimes frustrated and would run and punch into joshua but couldn't effectively land anything. He was always on the back foot. Parker was not able to land any effective shots. The ref would always break up any intense fights in the close up/clinch.

Price vs povetkin, suprised to see price managed to daze him but povetkin brutally knocked him out, just the more sharper fighter, price is tall as heck.

1 x 1 @140kg Deadlifts

Wasn't planning to deadlift, but just to join this guy he got me to work up to 140kg
which is a lifetime PR.

Are you still training for the 100m/200m? I'm seeing a lot of unusually structured gym programming and sprint start analysis, but not much running at all. The longest I could find you running recently is 4x50m@90% - basically a warmup before a proper session IMO. What's the coaching arrangement? Is he or she actually there when you train?

As of right now, I'm on a strength based workout routine, the speed session is basically just to get my technique in order, drive phase/acceleration, it would have negative impact if I solely focused on a strength routine without adding a speed session in there just to get my body in running form.

He has given me a template to follow and when he is not there, I send videos of my form from time to time to keep him updated.

So as of now the focus is strength and just training the 30-50m part of the race.

you gonna join the team?

nah probably not. who knows tho.

I don't like the idea of tying myself down to one team. I don't respond well to stuff like that. So I need to be careful committing to people/teams, instead of just being a lone wolf competitor - which I feel more comfortable with. Just typing that out, the idea of being on a team stresses me out a bit. The idea of being a lone wolf competitor, makes me feel great. Just how i'm wired I guess.

Def agree with benefits of a lone competitor.

Today morning, I wanted to test out my hamstring just by lifting my toes to my butt slowly and holding it there, a few seconds later I could muscle tightening up so when I tried to straighten it, super sore, too sore to straighten, so I had to slowly straighten a little hold it and straighten till fully straight.

Coach says it could be a lower back issue or maybe because of the weather.

I will ice it and bandage it and see how it feels tomorrow. I am too scared to even test it out anymore because the pain is very severe.

Date: 24/03/2018
Soreness: hamstring, quads, glutes
BW: 66.9kg
Injury: none that i can notice

Condition: It was raining, had to walk for 45 mins to get to the gym, car was unavailable so light spray rain. Track was wet. There was a hamstring pull scare.

Warm up
    ankle mobility
    dynamic calf stretch
    straight legged hamstring stretch walks, each step you lean forward
    high knee holds on my toes 20sec x 2
    lying quad stretch

    lunge position quad stretch where you grab the back leg and pull towards me but before the stretch just bringing my toes near my glutes, I felt pain just gradually increase in my hamstring up to 6/10 so I had to just stand up to try and get rid of that pain/cramp. But once I stood up and straighted my legs the pain in my hamstring shot up to 9/10 so unbearable but then it just gradually died down. I was kinda nervous to go out and run but after a light run I felt it was ok.
Even when standing and just bring my heel to my glutes without my hand, pain gradually builds up in my hamstring and if I straighten it the pain just shoots up exponentially before dying down, never felt a pain that much on my hamstrings before.

    leg swings forward and backward

    seated cross legged iliopsoas stretch

Workout

    Push up sprint starts x 2 - first time doing it so it didn't go well

    Sprint starts x 3 - went well, felt a good lean, head down, covered more ground but didn't get to record it as battery died on my phone.

    50m Sprint @90% x 4

Cool down
   stretch minus quad stretch
   power plate vibration to massage my legs including quads, back
   walk back

Comment
It was a good session, the sprint starts went well, as I have been doing sprint pushes at home to try and extend and drive knee forward. Glutes feeling more bigger when I contract them when walking. Hamstring felt tight, when doing the quad stretch man the pain was too much to bear. The sprints felt good too.

On a side note: I have been looking at stride counts of runners, 40 yard dash, they have 6-7 strides up to 10 yards, which is 6 strides for 10m. sprinters they manage 6-7 strides. When I ran the 10m, I can easily and everyone else can bound 6 steps without effort over 10m, but that would make a slower stride frequency. Makes me wonder about the perfect balance between stride length and stride frequency.
