60 mins stretches and rolling

07/10
Ultimate Frisbee
Scrimmage: 90 mins
Practice: 90 mins

Feeling really burned out the whole time. We lost 12-15 to a U-19 team. I didn't make any major mistakes, but just didn't really feel like I wanted to be playing. No layouts (dives for the disk), no skies (catches over someone in the air), got a lucky pointblock (knocked down someones throw). We ran some "optional suicides" at the end and I finished last for all of them. By a large margin. One set was about ~800m, one was about 200m. Cramps/hamstring aches after practice.

Could my lack of energy be caused by a high protein/sugar diet? Not very many clean carbs last week, very few fats. Also skipped dinner and had a not large breakfast. I refuse to believe I'm this out of shape, I usually do well at suicides. Also maybe the sprints/PR level squats were a little too much getting back into regular training.

dno, definitely sounds like diet could be the culprit.. sounds like some significant changes out of nowhere, and then not having enough food for dinner and breakfast, all signs point to wreckage.

IMHO, a nutritional rhythm is more important than a training/lifting rhythm.. drastic changes to training/lifting can actually yield some good results (less or more work can give you some short term benefits). Drastic changes in diet on the other hand, can really cause things to go haywire. eating too much or too little can both have a major impact on perception of fatigue, energy levels, strength, endurance, anaerobic performance.

so i wouldn't let it get to you just yet.. just try to get that diet on point and keep it consistent.

t0ddday, help me out here. can't articulate a response to that well enough to try.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left soleus (?)
MENTAL STATE: blah

- warm up

- MB OH toss x 5,5; no step x 3,3

- LTMP squat 155 x 20
weird combination of easy and hard. made it to 20 without much difficult but don't know how many more i could have done. racked it the interest of protecting my back, which felt okay today but which was out of sorts yesterday.

- superset x 3
-- pull up x 5
-- dip x 5
-- TTB x 5

pretty weak workout all around. fuck it.

LTMP or MEBM? seems like beast mode.

confused why you think submax repetitions of an exercise impair movement efficiency. how do you learn a new skill, except by doing it with less than full effort until you're comfortable enough with it to push yourself?

But you're not learning a new skill. You're already pretty far along in your jumping movement efficiency and have done tons of max effort jumps (already comfortable doing max effort jumps). I think a submax jump might have subtly different mechanics from a max effort jump, which is why I think they might be ineffective as movement efficiency work. Once you've progressed past the point of beginner movement efficiency gains, what's the point?

I have seen people on the forum encourage submax jumps and they seem good on the one hand cause you can spare your cns/joints but I don't know how much they actually help improve

one answer could just be 'fun'.. get some jumps in, staying nice and relaxed, just enjoying it. If you jumped submax most sessions, and max effort for only some, then yes I think your point would be more valid; detrimental. Part of the skill of jumping is to learn to focus on producing force 'fast' in the first place, don't want to teach yourself to produce force slowly. But one session, or infrequent sessions, aren't going to be enough to be detrimental imho. I mean just look at it from the point of view of tempo sprints, submax running etc. They can still be used as tools to build work capacity, fitness, movement efficiency, and even qualities specific to max performance (cardiovascular development in running for example). So IMHO, the same applies for jumping.

I've personally been doing lots of submax jumping the last few months for a few reasons:
- i just love jumping, feels good to jump even if it isn't maximal
- want to focus more on 'relaxed max jumping sessions', ie, how high can i get if i don't amp myself up mentally (amping myself up mentally takes a toll on me)? similar to a TRAINING MAX in lifting -> max lifting without psyche ups/amp ups.
- need to improve SLRVJ as a skill in each leg

one thing I try to do when jumping submax, is still get off the ground fast.. For where i'm at right now, It's the difference between a 10'3-10'4 or 10'8.. so I lose ~4-5" when jumping submaximally: relaxed runup, relaxed jump but get off the ground fast/fast but smooth arm swing, no amp up. I can probably perform hundreds of those jumps, compared to only ~10 or so max effort jumps.

I watched his game the other day and he has huge upside if he can stay injury free.

Have been watching Ben Simmons closely too and his passing is just beautiful. For a 6'10/240 guy it's ridiculous.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEfU5aEw1U0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEfU5aEw1U0</a>

Also, can shoot of either hand. He's going to be a handful

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5OzD3ou6pc" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5OzD3ou6pc</a>

man he's SO impressive.. i underestimated him. really looking forward to watching him play.

some of those passes were season highlight level.

I could never understand why tall people are expected to be "bad passers". What does height have to do with an inability to pass? I just don't get it. If anything, it should be an advantage. The only thing that is negative is that big men are usually in finishing positions, so they aren't in a position to pass all that often. That's all. I can't think of anything else.

just overall coordination i think.. big people are usually just slower/more brute-like. less finesse/quickness. I mean just look at heavyweight boxing as an example. The difference between them and welterweights, in terms of quickness, hand speed, endurance, movement, energy is ridiculous.

but that's mostly at the high school/college level. in the nba, the vast majority of these big guys are uber coordinated.

I'm late to teh party but disappointed KD left OKC cause there is no team to compete with that beast team anymore. Guess i have to get used to watching a team torch opponents all the way to the championship just to say i saw the best team ever play?

and then watch lebron beat em` in the finals.  :ninja:

The usual suspects all have DOMS from yesterday. All day I've been sitting in my office looking out the window and it's been sunny. I've been slack with running in the past few weeks so I was looking really forward to doing a few 100m tempos tonight for cardio. 4pm and with 1 hour to go it starts pouring with rain and hasn't stopped since >:( FML

I'll update this post later.

sucks man.

happens all the time in south florida.. hate that. I remember way back, amp'd up dunk sessions getting rained out, always was a big letdown. hEH!!

is your truck 'rubberized'? if so, could you do lighter sprints on it with spikes?

purescript 0.9.x compiles the new forum app so slowly (~8 minutes) that I am going to ditch purescript. I can't develop like that. I'm going 100% haskell and that's it.

it's a really bad feeling though.. i'm actually somewhat depressed about it. I really love purescript, but at this point in their history, they just aren't focusing on compiler optimization which is something you need to be able to support large projects.. and our project is LARGE. So I just can't wait for them.

;/

well that just delayed the F out of everything.

really bummed about it. It's all a big learning process though so can't let it continue to bum me out for much longer.

Kell brook vs Gennady golovkin finalised for september at middleweight of 160lbs. Another ballsy from a boxer.
He is a good overall boxer, he has power, boxing skills but ggg will def be too much for him. but if he does pull it off, without holding and hitting like he did shawn porter, then he would have gained my respect.

nice! I wouldn't even mind if he held + hit though.. as long as he's trying to beat GGG without being 'cross-the-line dirty', i think we can't blame someone for doing that. Kind of like when Maidana held/hit mayweather in the first fight. He roughed PBF up like CRAZY.. it made for a great fight.

fighters are going to need to pull everything out of the bag if they want to able to beat GGG.
