Boxing / Lara and Charlo's
« on: May 21, 2016, 11:17:18 pm »
charlo's fought good.. enjoy watching them.

Lara up next.

interesting moment at the end of the jermall charlo fight.. he sees this unrecognizable dude in the ring and immediately snaps on him.

45s in... love that response. he instantly went into defense mode when he realized there was some unknown dude standing right near him. Turns out it's his brother's mandatory opponent.

ATG SQUAT:
5@20kg
5@30kg
5@40kg
5@50kg
5@60kg
3@70kg
2@80kg
-So i decided to relearn squat. Went off the cage, doing true ATG. Damn, it's a looong way down with 50cm/20'' shins and femurs.
Went good, 80kg felt better than the usual little-below-parallel squats that i do.
Also did various quad and hip flexor stretches between each and every set, this is a nice way to put some adequate stretching quantity in my life.

niice!!

 :highfive:

and ya.. it's a great way to get some flexibility training in, while also improving ROM for the lift itself. I've personally never felt any negatives effects from it; ie, some kind of inhibition during reps due to stretching. If you did feel any of that, you can always just do shorter holds (~1-2s) and keep alternating limbs etc, more dynamic but still controlled/relaxed. Either way, i've only experienced positives from it, hope you do too.

45 DEGREE HYPEREXTENSIONS:
15@BW
15@BW
-Focused on driving movement with glutes and hamstrings. Felt it all at the back though, lol.

were you doing them like this?

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh45myksaEs" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh45myksaEs</a>

that's a good video.. basically how I perform them. I don't arch or try to over extend at the top. Instead I really focus on hips and keep my back neutral. You may still feel some of it in your back, those muscles are def working, but, you really want to get most of the tension in the hamstrings/glutes.

800m+ Running and/or Conditioning / Re: breathing while running

some people say breathe exclusively through your nose:

http://www.breathingretrainingcenter.com/blog/elite-athletes-you-don%E2%80%99t-get-more-energy-breathing-through-your-mouth-during-heavy-exertion

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYZq52A5-Qk" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYZq52A5-Qk</a>

the point about being more calm while nose breathing is definitely true from my experience.. not sure if that's mostly due to the fact that people perhaps can't maintain as high an intensity as mouth breathing.. however from experience, i do hate the feeling of high intensity mouth breathing, definitely feels more like a fight or flight response, hyperventilation.

going to keep experiment with nose breathing.. but, mostly breathing in through the nose, out through the mouth.

TLDR, pretty much everyone says breathe exclusively through the mouth.

Active recovery at work today, I woke up and my back was sore as hell and my legs make me feel like forest Gump when he was a kid.

Had a cheat meal of a burger and fries, not bk or any fast food.  I basically started feeling extremely tired yesterday and wasn't recovering very well so I figured I'd take in extra carbs to get me going. 

Going to relax and compex and hopefully I'm home when my new running shoes and watch get here.

which shoes/watch?

What a crazy Lebron travel that they just let slide. I love his athleticism and leadership on the court, a true competitor but I absolutely hate him as a skillsman and basketball player.

ya that travel was bad.. The nba needs to fix it's ref problem. The refs absolutely suck. They've always sucked. They miss such simple calls. They call such garbage fouls. They fall for such lame flops. It's such a mess. Compare that to NFL refs, these guys hardly ever miss calls and there's soooo much going on, on the field, at any given moment.

as for lebron.. regarding skills/bball player; "absolutely hate" is pretty strong.. ?? he's got solid skills, nothing amazing.. but ya combine that with his competitiveness, physicality, athleticism, and he's a dominant force. If he wasn't so unselfish, I think he probably would have developed his skills more. He gives up a ton of shots and is always looking to get his team involved. Regardless, his stats are pretty solid (fg%, rebounds, assists, ppg).

pC!

Don't mind me, I'm a Rators fan (Second to Sixers) and I'm spewing hate. That call just got me heated. His unselfishness is huge and passing is elite I can't deny it. Ughhh this series has me feeling hopeless.

gotcha hah.

Raps have no chance.. man wtf is up with Lowrie? Just get aggressive.. forget shooting.. get to the damn basket. Can't believe he went to the locker room to blow off steam. wtf?

If he keeps this up (which it looks like he will), not sure if people are going to trust him as the franchise pg.. come playoff time he's just collapsing.

dno

Good news is sixers got the #1 pick and Embiid looks healthy. Super excited to see this team play with so much young talent. Who do you like for number one Adarq, Simmons or Ingram? I'm huge on Ingram, I just think he's going to be a fantastic player to build a team around.

ya ingram for sure. he's got all of the height/length + skills + athleticism, and he hasn't filled out yet.. his height/body type reminds me of durant.
