Oh shit .. bogut injured :(

looked bad.. if he comes back out to play, shame on GSW.



damn CLE is opening up a lead. Lebron isn't as aggressive as he was in the first half, he needs to get back in this.

igoudala could start on most squads heh.. he's playing gr8.

dammit, haven't slept yet. brain racing. brain-dumped a bunch of stuff into my ideas/notes files, did mockups etc.. brain won't calm down so, just going to stay up for now :/

Ayeeeee me too! I'm trying to reset my godawful sleep schedule so I'm only gonna sleep 4 hours in naps today and hopefully go to bed at a reasonable time that isn't in the 3-5am range. I always feel like my brain works optimally the 3-4 hours after an all-nighter before the fatigue sets in.

daaym. insomniac club. my brain is working good but it's starting to get tired. fatigue is setting in hard right now.

i'm such a night person, it's a battle to try and sleep every night before 3 AM.

how long have you been sleeping in the 3-5AM range?

Boxing / Re: Lomachenko vs Martinez
« on: June 13, 2016, 08:10:01 am »
Damn this is why i like to watch lomachenko fight he has as you mention angles and throws punches in bunches like pacquiao defense like mayweather as in hits and is able to get out of the way of punches, moves his head when necessary and he adds his own confidence and style of fighting as he can beat anyone and is energetic and thats what i like about.

that ko, damn was brutal and the way it was set up, uppercut to lift the head followed by the hook to knock him out, very calculated.

ya, that KO is serious skill.. he pulverized a damn legit champ.  :headbang:

quickest 2-time world champ ever, too.. 2 titles, and he's only 6-1.

man I love how Lomachenko, he's pure balls. He just wants to fight everyone, doesn't give the least of a shit about 'working his way up the ladder'. I respect that alot.. i mean he has the skill obviously, but, it's a huge difference going from amateurs to pro.. Just because he has 2 gold medals, doesn't mean he'd be able to hang in there with these rugged, beastly, money-on-the-line professionals.. but he stepped right in and is cleaning up division after division. He's SERIOUS.

Also notice the similarity to Golovkin .. country .. olympics ... but... 400+ amateur fights. These guys are machines.

:D

awesome fight. the ruslan provodnikov fight i watched the highlight, it was a good fight also a brawl like ruslan enjoys and molina's tall build and his durable chin as you can see from his physical jaw he won unanimously.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzHqZ8LYpig" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzHqZ8LYpig</a>

ya i watched that too.. man both of those guys are straight up slugfests. Ruslan is almost done, unfortunately. You can see, he's lost alot of his fight. He's not the same guy who fought Bradley. Molina is pretty awkward, but has a solid jab.. very solid jab. He can really crank out a stiff/fast jab that did lots of damage to Ruslan's face. He can take a damn shot too. Both guys have huge chins heh.

Just had a rest day today.
My groins were feeling very tight from the sprints yesterday.

ah so you went hard on those 4x100m's? I figured it would be from the 3 hours of basketball, but I read that yesterday as "jogged 4x100m", oops.

tbh.. i'd love to see GSW close it out without Draymond. The suspension makes me want them to win ever more ;) Lebron was instigating a ton of stuff at the end of that game (even ragdolling Curry), he was clearly frustrated. That "step over" is uncalled for IMHO, that's definitely not a "normal game move"; it's more of a hostile act. If Draymond was smart, since he loves attacking people's nuts, he would have gotten up real quick as Lebron was over him and speared his sack with his head.

So here's the nutshot:



It happened after Lebron walked over Green. I personally think that's much less blatant than the nutkick on Adams. I mean, he could have just been swinging to hit Lebron regardless of where it landed.. I guess that is flagrant material but, given the "walk over", I think that really should have been a whistle -> offensive foul on James. I mean James was basically preventing Green from getting off the floor. The refs inaction, by not making a call, led to that incident, the face off, the further jawing etc.

weak.

Green suspended for game 3. How much of a difference does that make?

definitely gives CLE new life.. green is such a big part of GSW's success. I still think GSW ends it, but, this definitely makes it harder.

as for the suspension.. i'm so confused. where exactly is the groin hit retaliation?

http://www.si.com/nba/2016/06/12/draymond-green-suspension-lebron-james-stephen-curry-warriors-cavaliers-game-5

I don't see it..

If it's AFTER the Lebron step-over, I can't find it. The NBA actually let that situation get worse. I mean, these refs allowed Lebron/Green to confront each other face2face, while everyone else kept on playing.

horrible suspension, IMHO.

Well these things usually come in threes...both knees (left chondromalacia/right tib-fib/peroneal nerve pain) felt mostly back to normal, had just been going to the gym everyday and doing the upper body/core exercises in Gym 1/2 alternating, with the ADEs as warmup. Then a couple of nights ago I woke up and felt like I'd got whiplash or something...both scapulae had seized up, tight AF and killing. Could barely turn my head. Next day was an absolute battle, wanted to stay home but had to go in to do animal surgeries that were finishing that day, worst day of the year by far. Really weird, pretty sure it wasn't anything I did in the gym the day before, was really just one set of pullups to failure and not much else. I think it was simply just sleeping wrong  :huh: .

Couple of days later and they've finally calmed down, can finally look up and down without pain...bizarre. Anyway I leave in a bit over two weeks so going to stick to the damn program for a bit I hope.

damn sucks.. stuff like that happens to me too.. one of the worst ones I have is, somehow an erector gets "wrecked" if I twist, or hang from a pullup bar and breathe wrong, etc. When it happens, it hurts for a few days and I can feel it every time I breathe. These are some of the most annoying issues, I must say.

I might strap a rabbit's foot to the weight vest though.

lmao.. somehow that will end up causing injury though; ie, the added 1 oz to one side of the vest, making your body compensate. don't do it.  :ninja:



Yeah as I have now gathered a bit of data on vested training I can say...

1) Worst idea ever for sports.  Eg good luck making a layup when the vest comes off!

...

absolutely amazing though how something like that can temporarily cause these "ripples" in our CNS, which almost seem to require a sleep-reboot in order to reset everything back to the appropriate state.

on a side note, since getting back to utilizing multiple sessions per day, there's one thing i've always loved about it; it's almost a vest-like experience. I always feel so much lighter/stronger in the evening session. If I don't over-tax myself in the morning/afternoon session, the evening sessions "feel" so much better. I don't really know yet whether the stats will back that up. But I should be able to get an idea of whether or not I run better during the second session, now that I have the GPS watch. As for jumping, I can pretty much say without a doubt, that I jump better at night - if I perform some kind of light yet explosive work in the morning/afternoon. For jumping, the time of day definitely helps alot too though, i'm usually stronger in the evening.

That's one thing we don't see alot on here; multiple sessions per day. Obviously work/life/school etc interferes with that.. but, even just ~30min of some light explosive work in the first session might be enough to "wake us up" even more, come evening. During my peak dunking, I was squatting several times per day - very high frequency, very short sessions.

The "multi-day effect" could potentially be a useful tool in itself.

high tops are dead weight. why wear such a heavy shoe? that is the question.

If I didn't have high tops on I'd feel like I was gonna rip my ankle off my leg and it'd hop away...never to return.

eek.

low/mid tops + ankle supports though.

Also, on strava for that 10k challenge, some guy logged in a 106km run in like 5.5 hours.....I'm guessing he used a car or dirt bike lol

ya some people cheat on purpose, it's odd.

I need to run a 10k this month in order to get some stats for that challenge.. eventually I need to try and push for a sub-40m .. I've never gone under 40 minutes. I'd need to be consistently hitting low 19's in 5k though first.





journaling early, because i might fall asleep early again  :headbang:

wakeup = 11 AM
bw = 148
morning resting heart rate = didn't measure
soreness = quads slightly
aches = none!
injuries = previously ingrown big-toenail slightly (weird sensations)
standing desk (when on computer): none
feel = good but, eyes tired at times, probably from that caff up/PR jumping a few days ago
water = alot



Food

11:30 AM

- greek yogurt



Session: Afternoon

1:30 PM
- ~85F
- shoes: NEW nb 5000v2's .. feel so good when they are brand new ;f
- breaking them in

runs:

1. warmup: 0.15 mi in 53s
- 10 mph, 6:01 min/mi

2. warmup: 0.25 mi in 1m:30s
- 9.9 mph, 6:02 min/mi

temp: 4 x ~400m
- rest: walk back
- strike: midfoot, active dorsiflexion
- breathing: in:nose, out:mouth
- goal: every 400m in ~1m:29s

3. 0.26 mi in 1m:29s
- 10.5 mph, 5:43 min/mi

4. 0.26 mi in 1m:29s
- 10.5 mph, 5:43 min/mi

5. 0.26 mi in 1m:31s
- 10.1 mph, 5:57 min/mi

6. 0.25 mi in 1m:28s
- 10.4 mph, 5:45 min/mi

breathing in through nose, out through mouth is a good way to hold back on the 400's, but still go intense.. it's a good gauge at whether or not i'm at my goal tempo pace.

felt good, other than quads being tight/sore.

right big toenail feels weird.. it doesn't hurt, I can just "feel" it.. i've had this off and on ever since I "fixed it". hope it's not the nail growing underneath !! HEH !!



Food

3 PM

- 2 x wheat bread with peanut butter

Food

5:30 PM

- almond joy
- beet + berry drink (premade)



Session: Evening

7:30 PM
- shoes: worn out NB XC900v2's (submax jumping shoes)

run:
- 3.16 mi in 21m25s
- 5k: 21m03s
- 1k: 3m46s
- 12-minute-test: 1.85mi
- 3mi: 20m20s
- splits: 6:17, 6:43, 7:23, 53s
- left rib cramp crept up @ 3/4ths left in the first mile, toughed it out through the end of the 2nd mile, basically disappeared come the 3rd mile, but was spent
- thought my 2nd mile was closer to 6:17 .. wanted to do 3 x 6:10's, fail

jumps:
- submax
- ~30 each, L-SLRVJ & R-SLRVJ
- easy 10'3"s - 10'4"s off L-SLRVJ
- hit a few 10'7"s on some harder jumps

run home:
- 0.5 mi in 3m:16s
- worked on arm action.. first time really doing this, believe it or not.
- need to practice this more, especially on my warmup/practice runs

here's an example of the arm action I was working on:
- http://www.adarq.org/800m-running-andor-conditioning/gait-analysis-videos/msg120947/#msg120947




quads dead.. left achilles area a bit sore.

happy about the 5k though, with that cramp still got 1.85 mi on the 12-minute test. I was aiming for near 2 mi, because soon I actually want to hit ~2m in 12 minutes.

i'd need to run 2 x 6min/mi for that.. that'd be a PR. my best so far is 1.96 miles in 12 minutes.. need to break that soon.
