Boxing / Re: Misc Boxing News

Regarding the Kell brook vs GGG fight. I am skeptical in believing in this.

http://boxingbuzz.sportsblog.com/posts/26376766/teddy-atlas-hints-at-possible-foul-play-in-golovkin-brook-bout.html

damn, interesting.. stoppage was definitely weird.

i don't see how you'd even fight with a "barely healed broken orbital" (or not healed completely?) though.. what fighter would even put themselves in that position? I'm sure some very low level fighters might, but not people at the top - that's a serious risk. i dno.. that to me is the hardest part to believe. It's $$ but the risk of being blind etc.

9/26/16 Monday BW=169.6

b-ball 1.0 hour

Feeling a good kind of sore. Deadlifts are still wrecking me.

you use straps? i never used straps.. i think holding onto heavy weights is a bit draining regardless.. i remember farmer's walks with heavy db's (or my farmer's walk implements) would really wreck me.. kinda like a "holding on for dear life" feeling. heavy gripper crush attempts are also tough. lmao.

That change in mindset really seemed to help you very quickly. Congrats on this PR!

thanks alot man!!

ya man so much of this stuff is mental. i feel like I personally have way more improvement to be achieved from mental gains than physical, when it comes to running.. if I was razor sharp mentally but had my current level of fitness, i'd be flying (i think).

i didn't journal it, but about a month ago i saw two squirrels rolling around dying in the road as I drove by (they must have both gotten hit - the odds of that are probably pretty slim).. it actually helped smack some sense into me.. it sounds crazy but, it definitely stuck with me.. could have been two people/dogs/etc rolling around dying, same thing.. they were just done for. it made me really grit my teeth. then when I was training that night, I just thought "man I could get wrecked at any moment, why am i pussing out on these runs".. obviously stuff like that applies to more than just training, but since i'm trying to transform my athleticism again, it resonated alot.

I had another moment like that when I was ~24 or so, getting into boxing.. was feeling bad about some injuries and not having done what I wanted in basketball (play at some college level), and I saw this crow hopping around on one leg beasting the other crows.. it was the alpha, taking all of this food that was dropped.. i remember that smacking some sense into me too.. lmao.



Quote
Had this "mental barrier" today with my squats... even before completing the sets I knew that I'm not gonna be able to hit the amount of weight & reps I wanted to and this definitely subconsciously affected my effort during those sets. Need to change this!

ya.. that's why understanding your "daily fluctuating training max" versus "true competition max" is so important.. your 1RM might be X, but due to fatigue/stress/life, that day it could be much less.. and thus your training max is much lower than your competition max at that very moment. Understanding that stuff can actually help you in those moments..

the same goes for running (which i'm trying to incorporate more) and jumping etc.. I usually like pushing myself hard, so running slow or jumping low can be a drain mentally.. but understanding fluctuations in training vs competition, some of these numbers we hit when fatigued/stress/tired are actually really good.. ie, a fatigued 33" RVJ with a previous amp'd max of 35".. 33 isn't 35, but it's damn good considering the fatigue/mental-state etc etc.

basically, there's no two sessions/competitions that are ever alike.. so many factors/variables (internal/external) can end up changing everything..

i think simply understanding that stuff & reminding ourselves of it, is enough to help us achieve a higher quality session when we are anything less than peaked mental/physical state.

peace!!!

My high school had to cancel a football game due to ineligible players.

The older ones made the younger players run naked and if they didn't they had to eat a cookie out of someone's ass.

whack. the hazing culture is stupid.



Quote
What about football makes players so gay?

it's not really "gay" though, it's really just dominance through sexual perversion. I'm sure most gay people would find that stupid af.

i'd also say it's immature but it isn't, stuff like that goes in on universities (fraternities etc).

i've always hated the hazing culture, never partook in any of it.. would often prevent it (in high school) when i saw it going down.. it's really just an excuse to bully people. such retards.  :uhhhfacepalm:

note to self:
- updating through the day.
- consistency consistency .. consistency.
- stop being a pussy.



09/26/2016

goals:

- wakeup @ 5:30 AM
- improve:
-- 100m
-- 200m
-- 400m
-- 1 KM
-- 12 minute test
-- 5 KM
-- L-SLRVJ
-- half squat, half RDL, calf raises, BW upper

potential run protocols:
- always warmup great
- very light stretching before
- light stretching after
- paced runs: pick a pace and hold it 100%
- hold-on-for-dear-life: pick a pace, try and maintain pace for as long as possible -> measure distance maintained
- 12-minute test
- 200, 400m, 1km, 1 mile repeats
- from salazar workouts slide:
-- 6 x mile repeats with 400m jog recovery
-- 20 x 200m, with or without jog recovery
-- 8-12 x 400m, with x-second (~60s) standing recovery

5k:
- make miles 1 & 2 the same, instead of 2 & 3
- maximally sprint (~160m) at the end of every 5k (from 3.0 to 3.1) -> need to teach myself to always tap into every last MU

future contests:

- 10/09/2016: would need to run ~18:30 5k to win
- 11/24/2016: would need to run ~16:30 5k to win
- 12/14/2016: would need to run ~4:40 mile (holiday 1-mile race) to win

« on: September 25, 2016, 05:17:12 pm »
we've had a few but, related to long duration isometrics (LDISO) and kaatsu training .. nothing really on altitude, masks, tents etc..

here's two:
- http://www.adarq.org/article-video-discussion/ld-isos/
- http://www.adarq.org/peer-reviewed-studies-discussion/effects-of-restricting-blood-flow-on-performance-and-hypertrophy



i'd personally never wear a mask.. if I could push myself to the absolute limit without a mask, i'd consider it.. but until then, I imagine it'd result in a worse training effect because i'd probably push myself even less with the mask on. I've seen a few people around here train with them - and they were just normal people falling for the gimmick. They'd literally use it for like 5 minutes, session done.. probably 0 training effect. Any time I see them I think: "take the damn mask off and run longer ..." :/

I have absolutely no experience with altitude - been in South Florida my whole life.. the only thing I have experience with is heat & humidity :/

we don't have a ton of runners on here .. would be cool if we had more perspectives like that.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm! Your last 2 5k's look great for training runs. I know it's cool to run in new places every time but you should try running a 5k around a track with a watch at least a few times, it might help you better pace yourself and break limits if you know how fast you completed every quarter mile. Also, no variations in ground level might help make your graphs easier to analyze.

ya definitely, I agree.. I tried going to the track last week but for some reason the park was closed. I was thinking about trying to go tonight, but the weather might wreck it. Still might try tho.

Actually looked through some of your earlier workouts and damn. You've been getting a lot of shit done. Nice job

thanks man!

ya i'm trying to push myself alot harder now - I feel like I can.. so far so good.

I really need to figure out how to "run hard every morning", that's big on my TODO list.. That would be an enormous mental improvement. I need to be able to run hard even when I don't want to... similar to jumping good even when I feel like crap - I was still motivated to try and jump during crap sessions & i'd try to jump max nearly every session .... true max is a different story. But if I compare jumping to running, I used to push myself alot more during my jump sessions than I do with my running/speed sessions, and that's a big problem. It's definitely tougher mentally to run hard .... so I feel like I have an enormous room for improvement in "mental gains".
