I just wanted to write down on the remarkable present situation where im able to say i squatted a PR while weighing much less (15kg/30lb less) than when I set the record broken and im not even doing them in a high state of arousal (like with stimulants, psyching up, or other such tricks which i'd rather not disclose lol). Im not supplementing creatine. Not using a belt (save for 2 sets of 2 reps per week as assistance) or any other gear (sleeves etc). And most of all, im doing it while playing my sport regularly. Im sure when i set those PRs i was all-in on lifting. So that's kinda cool. In season PRs given all of the above is pretty sweet. This is just groundwork though, the real results/achievements will happen when i use 150kg for worksets of 5x5 and eventually 6x6. That by year end would be amazing.
trying to compare yourself to entropy is a fool's errand.
It is indeed depressing to anyone who respects your truly exceptional talents to see you of late apparently spending a great deal of time on shallow, negative polemics that contribute almost nothing in the way of real knowledge or deep truths to the subject matter they deal with. Instead of utilizing your major talents in the difficult business of discovering new viewpoints, and new understanding and techniques, you make a spectacle of yourself indulging your minor talent for innuendo and derogation. There are occasions on which it is desirable for a person with an outstanding reputation to devote some effort to pointing ·out the flaws ina significant proposal. But it is fatuous to waste time attacking one so weak that it can be demolished by high school debating tactics that avoid serious consideration of fundamental issues and deal only in hostile innuendoes, unsubstantiated arrogant opinions, and trivial nitpicking.
^I have no idea, i'll have to check where i am. I have rowed very little so far, i think one or two years ago trying to do sth similar with now. Lemme check.
Ok, here it is:7 September 2015
ROWING MACHINE:
5 mins, lol. Covered 930m, average 30spm@80W. Shit is hard. Gonna have to build up to 20minutes, maybe cut down on effort a bit, not sure i can keep that pace for 20 minutes.
So it is ~200m/min at steady state rowing, so what, ~250-300@100%? We'll see.
I'll do what you said, makes more sense for tracking/progressing indeed. Thanks!
3 October 2016
Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none
Went to the park.
15-20' dynamic warmup/jogging.
5 minutes rest
1 MILE RUN PR ATTEMPT : 8'20'' , fail.
-First 500m was ~70% , next 500 was ~90% and last part was all out.
Should have gone faster at first part, i supposedly saved energy for the finish but i was way after exhaustion at that either way.
Got to 12kmh speed ( 5 mins km pace ) initially at that last all out part, but couldn't keep it for the whole 500m, it dropped to ~11 ).
Disappointed, wanted to break 8' even if it was 7'59''. At least that is the second fastest ever ( PR = 8' , previous second fastest = 8'30'' ).
Once again, i am interested in adding some form of cardio at gym days. Not for weight/fat control, but for improving my basketball fitness levels. A typical training week for me will have 2-3 days of gym, 1 day of full court bball and 1 day of 'track' training. I need to add a little more cardio training, 1 day of track is not enough. But it is not realistic to expect i will fit a 2nd one to my schedule. So i thought of adding some 10-20 minutes of HIIT cardio work after weights. Options are : treadmill, rower and stationary bike. I would prefer the two latter so i don't need to bring 2 pair of shoes to the gym.
So rower or bicycle? And under what scheme? I was thinking one day rower and one day bicycle , both mid resistance intervals 1 minute 90-100% / 1 minute 30-40%.
Any objections/suggestions?
They do feel new for a long time, one of boost's huge advantages compared to other foams is durability.
As for racing flats ( not track ) i think their prime model is the adios : http://www.adidas.gr/adizero-adios-3-shoes/AQ2429.html\
230g / 8 oz, i guess that is too heavy for you?
Then there are the takumis that LBSS mentioned the other day, those are light ( 175g / ~6oz ). But i think it has boost only at forefoot, that's why i didn't order them as i said that day : http://www.adidas.gr/adizero-takumi-ren-3-shoes/AQ2436.html
If you were to try a boost shoe, id suggest the full length one ( adios ) so you have a complete idea about this hocus-pocus foam.
Tyson fury backtracks his retirement.

Tyson fury announces retirement
He tweeted: "Boxing is the saddest thing I ever took part in, all a pile of s***, I'm the greatest, and I'm also retired, so go suck a d***, happy days."QuoteFury was recently found to have traces of cocaine in a test carried out 24 hours before he withdrew from his re-arranged rematch with Wladimir Klitschko because of mental health problems.
The test was carried out by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) as requested by Klitschko in the build-up to their postponed October 29 clash at Manchester Arena.
Fury, 28, already faced being stripped of his WBA Super and WBO crowns by the two governing bodies because of his second postponement and his failed drugs test compounds his problems.
And now, faced with lengthy bans and the stripping of his titles, Fury has announced his retirement.

Also while people were waiting to hear from tyson fury regarding the rematch, eddie hearn contacted wladimir's promoter to bring up anthony joshua as wladimir's next opponent if tyson fury bout doesn't get made, it seems its heading that way and the titles would be vacated for that fight probably or for the mandatory.
