It was an interesting first few rounds, amir khan showed his speed and movement in the ring, but canelo would just break him down to the body, try a few swings but really attack the body, that later on khan started to slow down, defence loosened and canelo with a feint and a knockout blow. damn  :uhhhfacepalm: I KNEW IT, I knew this was going to happen, but khan fought a good fight.

Now canelo has to face golovkin, no diva demands, most of the blame goes to dela hoya he is the one who is delaying and everything. This was dela hoya's plan to promote canelo, he never cared about khan. look at the big green on his face. lol

Now I want GGG to destroy canelo to wipe that smile off dela hoya's face.

hah.. i love canelo though.. i'd love to see him give GGG a good fight.. but GGG is just too big/powerful for canelo imho. Canelo is a beast, but GGG is beast*3, and an even better boxer.

One thing I just love about Canelo though, is he is definitely in it for the big fights. I mean he'll take on anyone. He's fought many of the best, including Floyd, so much respect. Kid has that mexican warrior blood. :F

Khan is just too chinny for 147+.. Needs to stick to 140's :/ Even then, people could KO him.. but at least at those weights, he'll be able to use his length more. sux, but he's def not in the 147+ league.

Cleveland vs Atlanta: Game 2.

wtf?

Such atrocious defense. Guys wide open.

I think they hit ~14/19 wide open 3's (14 wide open/hardly contested, 5 tough) in the first half..

I'd prefer forcing Lebron into shots in the paint, or have him hit free throws, than collapse on him with EVERYONE and leave people wide open for 3. Slow the game down, make it physical, beat lebron up..

(fwiw, i'm hoping for CLE/MIA in Eastern Conference Finals, and GSW/SA in West)

pc

Cleveland are on fire. Will the extra rest hurt them now that they have to wait for Miami or Toronto?

nah I think CLE has found a new groove.. straight up 3 point assassins like GSW. They've got multiple big men who can knock em down`.. just ridiculous. very impressive destruction of the hawks.

I think the rest definitely helps them though.. because the more they play, the more likely it is that Kyree/Love get injured.. very injury prone.. soooo.. every "lack of a game" helps. If they had Love/Kyree in last year's finals, who knows.. I mean they played GSW pretty hard the whole series, but Kerr's coaching genius to go "small" was the game changer. That changed the whole series. Will be alot tougher if a healthy CLE makes it into the finals.



Quote
I'm hoping for CLE/MIA too but want GSW/OKC. If Durant and Westbrook are on it'd be a huge series.

ya if Westbrook would just stop with the crap turnovers wtf? I'd like to see GSW/OKC too.. I love the spurs, for various reasons.. but GSW/OKC has high octane written all over it. GSW/SA would most likely be a better series though.





KD - 41.

That is all.

beast mode performance.

still pretty sore.. calves, hamstrings, shoulders, abs, especially.



05/9/2016

Bio: Morning

last night's sleep: ~7.5 hours
last night fell asleep: 2 AM
wakeup = 9:30 AM
bw = 151
morning resting heart rate = didn't measure
soreness = calves, hamstrings, abs, upper back, shoulders
aches = hips slightly, right hip flexor, left heel slightly
injuries = toenails slightly wrekt
standing desk (when on computer): slightly
feel = good
water = drank normal



Food

9:30 AM

- 2 x wheat toast with peanut butter
- beet + tart cherry juice
- green tea



Food

2 PM

- greek yogurt



Session: Evening

6 PM

warmup:
- arm circles, leg swings, light stretching (~1s holds)
- jump rope: 3 x 300

actually annoyed my upper left back during leg swings.. im so lame.. had this before: rib hurts (significantly), most likely some erector spinae muscle who knows.

i just said who gives a fuck and kept training.. it's more of a nuisance than anything.

run:
- 2.53 mi in 17:45
- pace: 7:01 min/mi
- splits: 6:15, 7:17, 7:59
- emphasis: stride length
- strike: flat foot
- tiring

lame.

walked for a bit, was going to do jumps, but too sore.

run 2:
- 0.16 mi in 54s
- pace: 5:32 min/mi
- speed: 10.8 mph
- max speed: 12.1 mph
- strike: forefoot
- emphasis: stride length

run 3:
- 0.18 mi in 56s
- pace: 5:20 min/mi
- speed: 11.3 mph
- max speed: 12.6 mph
- strike: forefoot
- emphasis: stride length

run 4:
- 0.11 mi in 31s
- pace: 4:54 min/mi
- speed: 12.2 mph
- max speed: 12.3 mph
- strike: forefoot
- emphasis: stride length
- cue: trying to clear ~5.5-6.5 ft steps (they differ slightly, randomly)

experimented with some stuff.. notably, my stride length emphasis but with a forefoot strike. results are decent. They weren't sprints, ie, slower stride freq, emphasizing length, without being gassed at the end..

might play with that again tomorrow.



Food

7:30 PM

- 2% milk
- dark chocolate cookie



Food

9 PM
- Game of Thrones half pint ice cream (java chip) celebration



Food

12 AM

- big stir fry: grilled chicken, tons of zucchini, olive oil, brussels sprouts, salt/pepper, serrano pepper, garlic, olives, balsamic vinegar, small bit of honey at the end
- banana



Stretching

- throughout the day (after training)
- mostly hip flexor, hips, and quads
- about to do some upper, hamstring, back, calves, glutes




decent running experiments today.. especially given how sore i am. My calves don't at all feel like they were wrecked from those forefoot run tests.. I think the big stride length might also help with that.. normally when I run forefoot (when testing it) I run slower and more directly underneath me; might stretch my calves more. dno. regardless, if my calves get wrecked, I can feel it once I stop running.. so theoretically I should have felt it after the first few runs... a burning strainy soreness.. feels fine right now soo.

I like running 'the steps'.. especially these ~5.5-6.5 footers.. just a really nice cue for me to work on stronger hip extension. seems effective.

Are you doing only single leg now?

ya


Quote
And can you still dunk?

nope.. i haven't tried but with a max of 10'6 and avg 10'3-10'4, most definitely can't.



Quote
Wish that I still could jump off one foot too lol, too bad I messed up my knee jumping off one foot while being quad dominant.

damn.. how did you attribute this knee injury to being quad dominant?



Quote
I think my peak jumping off one foot was around 10'6 too, and I was able to dunk, but only kadour ziani style lol

ziani style is with a small ball or with grippy substance for your hand? lool

funny how sore I am from that session yesterday.. figured i'd just rest and stretch/tennis ball. No reason to work through it.

got some programming done today but not enough.. but, partially due to my brain being tired from not enough sleep.. can't code as well with < 8 hours like I used too.. which is good, since I shouldn't be getting < 8 hours sleep.

actually pretty tired right now.. might be able to sleep early.

Props for consistent stretching, i HAVE to do it too. I am sick of myself, i am tight as fuck 24/7 yet i won't stretch more than once a month or so.
Keep an eye on me and call me out if i don't!

ya, will do.

we just need to hypnotize ourselves into thinking it's something similar to plyometrics, advanced s&c techniques etc.. if we think of it as a chore/medicine, we won't be consistent with it. ;f

I've kind of done that recently, by convincing myself I need more hip ROM (and ROM in general) to be able to achieve kenyan running form. ;f

stretching can be dangerous too, i've messed myself up from overstretching (or doing so while possibly dehydrated).. but if I don't overdo it, I usually feel so much better if I stretch.



I also got this pain in my left hipflexor, front area which connects to the quads. It's very tiring to dig deep into that area with your thumbs and the hip flexor contains so many ligaments crossing and everything. spent 30min or so just digging my thumb into it.
just keep at it.  :lololol:

damn

ya that's a hard one to dig in to. I haven't been digging into it, instead just stretching it. Hitting TFL hard with tennis ball the last few days actually makes my hip flexor feel near painless temporarily.

For me, I think it felt better when I was doing calisthenics though.. which is more strength training. Lots of hip flexor training with calisthenics.

My brain is not working anymore. I think my IQ is under 100 for sure, right now. In fact, I don't think it would be quantifiable in any way. If I were to take a psychological test right now I would fail it.

I know people take words on the screen lightly, but trust me, this is authentic.

look on the bright side.. if your IQ dips to ~40, you'd be considered a genius as far as dogs go.. and dogs are happy as fuck.

Pause at Myree's ~1:46 plant, check out the knee bend - how far in front his knee is. Crazy to be able to stabilize and jump out of that position #quadsAreNotImportantToJumping #itsAllInTheHipTendon

for jumping, quad nation 4 lyfe.

:wowthatwasnutswtf:

edit: i've had similar knee bend in my plants.

1 * 150m @ 100% , ~24.5s , lifetime :personal-record:
-Used this arm swing video raptor posted, worked nice, fast arm strokes synced with legs felt right.
Nice to get a PR with just 2 minutes rest from the tempos.

niiice!  :headbang:

I wonder if you had done some of those light tempos before jumping, if your runups+transitions would have felt alot better.

legs/body felt amazing today.



05/7/2016

Bio: Morning

last night's sleep: 10 hours
last night fell asleep: 3 AM
wakeup = 1 PM
bw = 150
morning resting heart rate = didn't measure
soreness = none
aches = hips slightly, right hip flexor
injuries = toenails slightly wrekt
standing desk (when on computer): mostly
feel = good



Food

1:30 PM

- beet + tart cherry juice
- green tea
- 2 x wheat bread with peanut butter



Session: Evening

5:30 PM

warmup:
- leg swings, arm swings, leg circles, arm circles, a few pogos/running in place
- light ~1s stretching

run to court:
- 2.53 mi in 16:57
- pace: 6:43 min/mi
- speed: 8.9 mph
- max speed: 13.3 mph
- splits: 6:07, 6:53, 7:31
- style: emphasizing stride length

first split might have been more like 5:5x .. street crossing took nearly 10s .. only one major street on this route though. so happy with the first mile.. got some serious lung-mucous during this run though, high lactic acid; spitting was "hangers" eek.

jumps:
- first jump after warmups, L-SLRVJ: ~10'4
- max L-SLRVJ ~10'5" or 10'6"
- some high school jits came onto the court I was already jumping on, and basically camped out under the rim.. preventing me from jumping.. so I didn't say anything, I just jumped anyway.. bumped into one of them, almost blocked (over the rim) a 'underneath the basket' lazy shot, and also knocked their ball into the other court. dudes weren't doing shit, made no sense.. need 2 learn how to share.

jumps felt GREAT.

reactive work:
- stiff leg ankle hops: 4 x 3
- double leg bound: BJ to 3 bound: 5 x 3, I think max was around ~24 ft?
- light single leg bound from 5-10-15-20 yard runups: ? x 4 bounds
- single leg horizontal jump from 5-10-15-20 yard runups: 3 x 1 @ 20 yard runup
-- was aiming to jump over 5 yards and land on the same leg, got maybe 4 yards?
- light single leg hops, same leg, sprinter arm swing: 1 x 20 each, 1 x 25 each, 1 x 30 each
- light single leg hops, same leg, double arm swing: 1 x 20 each, 1 x 25 each, 1 x 30 each

felt pretty good


run home:
- 0.84 mi in 8:27
- run slow and then build up and try to clear 2 steps (~8 ft?) each leg



Food

7 PM

- 2% milk



Food

9:30 PM

- mounds bar



Food

11:30 PM

- big spicy stir fry: grilled chicken, mixed nuts, tons of zucchini, brussels sprouts, olive oil, salt/pepper, lemon juice, rice, szechaun stir fry sauce
- 2 x watermelon slices
- amazing cookie
- water w/ lemon



Food

12 AM

- greek yogurt ice cream bar



Food

2:30 AM

- 2% milk



Stretching

- after training, tons of hip flexor, quad

- 1:30 AM - 2:30 AM
- everything, tons of hip, hip flexor, upper, hamstring



Session: Deep Tissue - Tennis Ball

3 AM - 3:30 AM

- went to town on hips/TFL, glutes, quads/ITB
- hit right side more than left; right side is much more painful.
- sooo much pain initially.. did several rounds and held it on spots for a few minutes at a time
- successive rounds were less pain, or no pain at all

got up feeling like a million bucks...................... flexing right hip - barely any pain (up to 10 minutes after, so far)

need to keep fixing my tissues.. this shit is ridiculous.





legs felt amazing today.. hip flexor feels like shit though.. it doesn't bother me when running/jumping/reactive, but when i stretch it, feels like it's thick/dead. hips don't feel so good either when stretching. felt them a bit while jumping.

training will be changing most likely, to what I did above.. need to focus on learning how to run 1-3 miles FAST, rather than putting in tons of volume.. ie, I need to build up my reactive abilities again AND learn to use my hips/glutes better while running.. stuff like that.. also need to improve ROM all over the place. So, volume should drop quite a bit and I should be emphasizing quality over quantity in everything i'm doing.

right hamstring tendon feels a little annoyed from the SL bounds.

this is what wrecked my right hip flexor/adductor several months back (but not to this extent, and lying on the couch relaxing):



so pathetic.. need to keep attacking this shit and try to get the upper hand on my joint mobility/flexibility.

no programming, weird day.
