Ok so it's 2016 soon.. hope everyone kills it in 2016.



12/31/2015



Bio: Morning

sleep = 8 hr
wakeup = 9 AM
bw = 158 lb.
morning resting heart rate = didn't measure
soreness = quads slightly, hamstrings slightly, adductors slightly, glutes slightly, calves (left especially), shoulders (especially posterior), triceps
aches = none
injuries = some toe nails, left & right 2nd toenail especially



Food

1:30 PM

- 5 x eggs over easy, hot sauce on the side
- 1 x orange juice
- 5 x banana
- brie and crackers



Nap

- kept dozing off during college football playoffs.. off and on for 2 hours.



Food

- 1 x gatorade



Session: Evening

run:
- 8.32 mi in 1:08:10
- slow
- happy with the time, for going slow
- legs didn't bother me much, just felt a bit tight, but felt bouncier than expected
- strike: mostly forefoot without much heel
- power (stride length): low to moderate
- stride frequency: high
- calories (approx): 1017
- mixed some fartlek in the beginning, held 11mph a few times, but not too long
- mixed up my forms of running, so basically, doing drills for long distances. these drills have more stride length than you would do during a warmup:
-- high knees
-- butt kicks
-- a form of ankling

- calves feel pretty sore + tight.. left especially.

splits:
- mile 1: 7:06.9
- mile 2: 7:05.8

9:00 PM
- was going to eat normal but said fuq it, whip out the ice cream.

- pint of haagen dazs: chocolate peanutbutter
- 4 x banana



Food

- 1 x greek yogurt
- brie and crackers



tmw should be fun.. BW upper (with added resistance for some stuff) in morning, then run + freestyle lower body. Curious to see how I handle freestyle lower.. I think i'll do alot more than I have been doing.

Bio: Morning

sleep = 8 hr
- falling asleep has been tough lately.. FEH
wakeup = 10:30 AM  :raging:
bw = 157 lb.
morning resting heart rate = didn't measure
soreness = quads slightly, hamstrings slightly, adductors slightly, left calf
aches = none
injuries = some toe nails, left & right 2nd toenail especially



Session: Morning

1 PM - 2 PM
- way too late..

upper body calisthenics:
- at the park!!!
- worked on 'move progressions' instead of repping out dips/pullups etc.
- when I go to the park, i'll focus more on trying to achieve various positions instead of repping stuff out. This way, I have more energy/strength for each attempt.
- working on progressions for front level, muscle up, dip L-sit, pullup L-sit, front lever pushup
- almost killed myself doing double leg swings on the dip bars... went to high forward then too high backwards and lost control, almost face planted but I caught myself on the bars and muscled out of it. could have been bad! heh
- supinated pushups (on a bar) are weird, but I like them
- alternate grip pushups/pullups are tough too
- definitely made progress
- lots of core at the end, improving
- also hit dips @ 7 and dead-hang ng pullups @ 7 after everything

so much fun.. next session i'll probably go back to my backyard so I can add more weight to dips/pullups -> work on my strength more



Food

2:30 PM

- 1 x chocolate soy milk
- 1 x greek yogurt



Food

3:30 PM
- WAY TOO LATE.. especially considering I have an evening session to do

anthony's coal fire pizza:
- 2 x pizza slices (tomato, basil, mozzarella)
- a decent sized portion (1/3rd) of a huge calzone
- lots of salad

ate alot but didn't over-do it.



Session: Evening

8:30 PM - 10 PM

run:
- 6.66 (lul) miles in 51:59
- mostly forefoot WITHOUT any heel strike..
- first 3 miles: moderate power, fast stride frequency
- mile 1: 6:23.0
- mile 2: 6:34.9
- mile 3: 6:49.1
- after that I ran miles at 7:xx, 8:xx, and 9:xx .. focusing on stride freq like crazy without any power.. it's pretty tough.
- 5k: 20:37
- 10k: dno how to get it off the garmin site.. I've known these times lately because they are "my best since using the watch".
- legs felt good, stomach felt heavy, mentally weak.

lift:
- felt good, but mentally weak.

bb deep squat:
- 45 lb. x 10
- 135 lb. x 5
- 155 lb. x 10
- 135 lb. x 10
- on a good note, deep squatted my bodyweight x 10.. hehe.

toes elevated bb calf raise:
- 45 lb. @ 3 x 10

bb rdl:
- 45 lb. x 10
- 135 lb. x 5
- 155 lb. x 10
- 135 lb. x 10

was going to do a set of 20 .. then pussed out.. then I was going to do 3 x 10 at my top weight.. then pussed out.

I think on friday, i'm going to take a similar approach (PLAY) to how I do upper body.. going to just have fun and do all kinds of stuff for an hour. expect extreme soreness -> or maybe not.



Food

11:30 PM
- way too late

- 6 x bananas
- 6 x eggs
- 1 x orange juice



Computer Programming

- lots of haskell stuff, primarily server side html rendering from CRUD, php style.




all in all, good day.. but, since I got off to such a late start, everything was LATE.. really annoying.

not going to run tomorrow morning. instead, i'll just run at night. Friday will be similar to today, but, with that "Play" style for lower body. I'm having lots of fun with the calisthenics stuff for upper. I want to have more fun training lower body.

News, Announcements, & Suggestions / Recent lag - Linode being attacked
« on: December 30, 2015, 05:17:22 pm »
sup everyone.. if you've experienced lag/latency on the forum lately, it's because Linode (our hosting) is suffering a major DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack.

http://status.linode.com/

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/12/29/day_four_of_linode_data_center_attacks/

it most likely won't go on for much longer.. but 4 days of sustained attack is pretty serious.

Boxing / Re: Misc Boxing News

Well it looks like it's official accoridng to bob arum, manny pacquiao will fight timothy bradley on 9th April.

http://www.boxingnewsonline.net/manny-pacquiao-to-fight-tim-bradley-for-a-third-time-rubber-match-set-for-april-9th-in-las-vegas/

It's interesting because of his new trainer, but why do I always see atlas finding something wrong with bradley, unless he's just trying to workout all the mistakes, but if teddy atlas can improve on timothy bradley's boxing skills he could upset pacquiao as in his second match with pacquiao I was scared he might actually win because he was boxing him clever and he landed the clever shot that nearly toppled pacquiao but then later on he spent too much energy on hitting the power shot, so if teddy atlas comes up with a good gameplan then it might be interesting but I just think pacquiao will just be his same self and beat him as he always adjusts.

I think it will unanimous decision for pacquiao

whew.. definitely better than pac/broner.

not the fight I wanted to see but, bradley always brings it against pac.. so it should be a good fight, especially with Atlas in bradley's corner now.

Rios wasn't a good 'tune up' for Bradley. Rios is 10000x slower. So it's not like we're going to see the same Bradley that fought Rios.. even so, he did look significantly better. I imagine Atlas can get him firing on all cylinders for the pac fight..... and, in the corner, he can "will bradley to fight harder". It shouldn't be enough to beat Pac, but it'll be a good fight.

nice.

12/29/2015



Bio: Morning

sleep = 6 hr
wakeup = 7 AM
bw = 157 lb
morning resting heart rate = 45
soreness = quads, hamstrings a lot, adductors, chest/biceps/triceps slightly
aches = left medial hamstring tendon (old injury, slightly)
injuries = some toe nails (left second toe hurting bad - completely black, probably going to fall off soon)



Session: Morning

run:
- 5.23 mi in 43:18
- slow, heel->toe, legs wrecked.
- wanted to see how i'd run going heel->toe @ slow pace.. really sucked, in every way (feel, time, mentally).



Food

2 PM

- grilled chicken burrito
- 6 x bananas
- 1 x orange juice
- 1 x peanutbutter sandwich on english muffin
- a few tortilla chips

^^ ate too much tho.. ;f



Session: Evening

run:
- 6.62 mi in 49:19
- midfoot, legs still wrecked - no bounce
- moderate leg power
--> never pushed it.. happy with how I ran, my speed was more consistent because I just focused on stride frequency, shorter strides
--> subverted maximal extension
- stide frequency
--> need to achieve the strides per minute that I did tonight as more of a "reflex".. need this to be my reflexive SPM.. not sure what it was actually, but, I know how it feels.
- need to keep working on my stride frequency.. I think that's my biggest problem.. I need to be turning my legs over fast EVEN when i'm going slow/moderate, like I did today.. then I can just add power to it when I want to run alot faster, and I should be golden.

some more stats:
- mile 1: 6:53.5
- mile 2: 6:53.1
- mile 3: 6:36.6
- mile 4: 8:06.8
- mile 5: 7:57.5
- mile 6: 7:33.5
- rest: 5:15.8

- 5k: 21:10
- 10k: 45:48

so those first three miles I tried to run at the same exact turnover rate/pace.. seems like I did pretty good at it, especially those first two.. then I chilled on mile 4, then did the same thing for mile 5,6,6.6.



Food

9 PM

- 1 x orange juice
- a bowl full of: 3 fried bananas + some honey + 3 tbsp peanutbutter + 1 scoop vanilla bean ice cream + 2 scoops coffee ice cream

^^ that's how it's done.



so.. going to be hard but, in order to "re-program myself", I need to really focus on stride frequency, even when i'm running slow.. that's really how it should be done though, I just havn't been doing it enough. I mean it feels good to run "light with fast turnover", but it's not something I do naturally.. when I run light/slow, my stride frequency decreases. need to fix this asap; if i have to literally run fast in place (basically), then that's what I need to do.

also, my legs are still wrecked.. absolutely no bounce out of them right now. high rep lower really killed me.. I should be adapting pretty soon though. Next HRN (high rep nation) session should be tomorrow night; i'm going to combine squat and rdl into one session - probably also add calf raises. I'm thinking i'll attempt to adapt to this 3x/week in the evening session; m-w-f = morning upper, evening lower.

my goal with high rep lifting right now is to simply adapt, which comes with initial improvements.. then use this as my primary tool to improve lower body strength while also improving local muscular endurance, lactate threshold (possibly), mental strength (willpower), leg/hip hypertrophy, etc.

I'm just trying to find a nice rhythm.. I think i'm finally settling on something.

finally, my toenails hurt. fml

gn!!
