that reactive/explosive p-chain power.

Thanks! Yes , my pchain is definitely much stronger than my quads, always have been.

it's the weirdest thing when they "don't feel good" but you still PR. maybe our perception of "feeling good" is just wrecked.

Well, you know, it's kinda fake. You get a PR which was not feeling PR-ish, you hype thinking what will happen if you felt 100% too, but it doesn't happen, PRs happen when they are to happen, doesn't matter how they feel.

damn nice. that's good stuff.

tbh, seems like your body is loving these sprint/reactive/jump assistance sessions.

Mind is loving them too. Constant progress, new technique stuff, lifetime PRs etc. Plus the extra motivation of body composition benefits.
With jumps and squats i am stuck at a well-below-PR level currently, it is very demotivating honestly. I am fighting through it but i am not enjoying it.

i definitely understand you on the new-pr's stuff.. feels good to have more stuff to PR. I personally feel better PR'n a run/sprint than a lift, because it just feels like more of an overall athletic/health improvement. i personally love the idea that I can now attempt to PR my 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1km, 5km, 10km etc.. out of everything though, jumping definitely is my favorite activity.. on a great day - running fast, is no comparison to having a great day and jumping your best, IMHO.. either way, i'm enjoying seeing more people sprinting/running and such on here, it's pretty cool.

ATG SQUAT:
6@20kg
4@40kg
2@60kg
1@80kg
1@90kg
1@100kg
4@80kg
7@70kg
7@70kg
-Was supposed to do 4-7-7. Got greedy warming up and decided to max-out too.
Got 100kg ( 2 plates ) after 6 months.  Was not ATG like all the others, but was below parallel.
Kinda depressing how hard it was ( RPE 9.5, 1RM = 105kg tops ). Still motivating that i got it, progress is progress.

nice!!

80kg before maxing flew up. 80kg after maxing felt like 95%RM. Got all reps though in great ATG form.
Also, I am logging this 1.5 days later, legs are annihilated , cant believe this, mostly glutes but also abductors, hamstrings, quads ( in and out ). Pain even when walking. Crazy.

Good session again, good week overall.

ya great week for sure!

dude wtf is going on in this ARG/CHL game???? wow.. both teams playing with 10 men now.. two crap red cards.

this ref is a bit... hm.. garbage.

The halestorm is back!
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-06-26/jack-hale-breaks-australian-u20-sprint-recored/7544566

nice! glad to see he's still beastin`.

we've got a guy like that in the US that you probably know of: trayvon bromell. he set the world junior record in 2014 for 100m, and now he should be competing in Rio @ 100m & 200m, i think.. very unassuming build as well (like hale).

rest.

feel pretty good other than the soreness.. should be able to train tomorrow, but, not sure yet.. tomorrow would be 12-minute test and submax jumps.

got alot of programming done.. but mostly, setup local environments for better testing on my laptop instead of through my VPN.. and some refactoring.. also need to figure out a background job/work queue system.. leaning towards rabbitmq for now, but, also not sure how I want to even code out the jobs themselves.. dno, should just try to keep it crazy simple for now though.. whatever i design right now will need to be re-designed eventually anyway.

watched lots of sports: boxing (thurman/porter), futbol (croatia/portugal, usa/colombia).

pc!

great fight! definitely a war..

Thurman definitely showed his boxing skills imho, very slick counters and movement.. Also tons of power, but Porter is just a beast. He's got heart & chin, too hard to get him out of there. Thurman had him rocked 3 times.. he also hit him with KO level shots and Porter just ate them.

Biggest worry for me, with Thurman, is his conditioning.. Seems like every time he goes 12, he's fading in the later rounds (10-12). He looked very tired come round ~8 or so, but he just gutted it out. Porter on the other hand looked fresh.

Thurman should have avoided the ropes.. I understood what he was doing, basically rope-a-doping, but it just made Porter look like he was winning rounds. If he avoided that all-together, he would have won by a bigger margin.

Really good fight.

I'm not eager to see a rematch though, i'd like to see Thurman take on some 'bigger names' but also more KO'able names. He throws some massive shots, it's fun to watch.

Porter is very solid, but Thurman is that "next level guy".

pc!

Wow the switzerland vs poland match was awesome, the goal by shaqiri was awesome causing it to go to penalties.

should be a great fight.. people have been looking forward to this for a long time.

not sure how Keith will look considering he's coming off that car accident and some prior injuries.. but, if he's in top form, I think he's winning this fight. Porter is no joke though, he's a bull.

top form Thurman = decision win... anything less, dno, could definitely go to Porter, he knows how to grind out fights.

i'll be hoping keith thurman wins though, big fan of his.

the PBC card starts around 9 PM ET i think.

I think you mistyped the date it should be 06/25/2016 not going to be picky about the name spelling lol

haha.. thanks. sorry i was getting ready to make food and was posting it real quick.. wow typo & incorrect-date fest.

but ye it is an intriguing matchup, keith thurman has had a longer lay off then shawn who had a stay busy fight even if it was in his gym. and as you mentioned keith thurman's car accident.

keith had problem in knocking bundu out because of awkward (this spellings looks wrong but meh) so if shawn porter boxes moves he has good chance, keith relies on his power punch too much and shawn porter showed some flaws when he fought kell brook and got knocked down by adrien.

but intriguing to see what happens. I am a fan of both but I think porter maybe able to pull if off with a majority decision

keith has good boxing too though.. he definitely has serious power but, i wouldn't say he relies on it. he can box if he has too.

should be a great fight.. very excited to see it. both guys are elite young fighters.

emphasis:
- afternoon session: 1 mile sprint
- evening session: 1km sprint, jumps, 5k jog

runs:

1. 0.15 mi in 44s

- deliberately slowed it down slightly

- 1KM: 3m:19s


wore my xc700v2's instead of nb 5000v2's.. the xc flats always allow me to get onto my forefoot easier, and, perhaps feel better.. dno yet.

body feels light/snappy.. legs a bit achy.. need to make sure i don't eat any ice cream in the near future. I have a mounds bar waiting for me, but that's much less of a problem. Would like to lean out a bit more, which might sound crazy.. but, I actually have quite a bit of room to lean out, even though i'm so light. I'm an alien.

got tons of programming done. getting close to the end of the month, might be able to showcase some of the forum i've been working on.. this thing is a major work in progress but, it's going good. i'm happy with it so far.. seems like I should be further along by now but, all good.
