has Ido EVER fought? he has such good movement, nice reflexes, seemingly good strikes.. it's a whole different animal actually fighting, but just curious if he's ever gotten in a cage/ring?

what's his damn last name ffs! it's not portal (Ido's Portal), or is it? HEH!

Did you tip him?  Shoulda just walked outta there.. haha jk

ya i did.. i figured i'd never see him again and just to tip him and get out of there as soon as possible. HEH!!!

I felt bad for him, he thought he did a great job. I'm too nice.

But damn you drink a lot of gatorade throughout the day.  Isn't that not good to do insulin wise or you really need all that hydration from all the running you do?

nah i don't drink much gatorade at all.. the gatorade I had yesterday was just 2 glasses. Most days I don't drink any.

I definitely felt I needed it yesterday though. I forgot to mention I added "extra salt", need to edit the post.

How'd you get in that 24 without membership?  Did you get those 3 day passes?  I remember I got one once and fuck they make you take a damn tour with one of the sales reps or something and they try to show you how nice it is and then make you sit down at the member sign up area and talking about bullshit like "if you sign up today we have a sale for blah blah".  I literally said "I can't decide yet, I'll workout and think about it" and they wouldn't let me leave lolll.  He kept on trying to sell me the membership so hard it was beyond ridiculous.  I only went cause my gym was closed and I needed to squat that day lol

hah I got a membership !! I figured now that i'm under 160 and want to jump more, I should do it mostly on an indoor surface to make it easier on my body. I got the membership simply for the bball gym access. I'll do a few lifts/bodyweight exercises (back extension/pullups etc) in there though.

I think i'm going to go there tomorrow and get some jumps in.

McGregor's prediction for the Aldo fight:

"I felt when we stared down, I felt his right hand was twitching, which was a subtle tell for me. He is ready to unload that right hand and I feel that will be a downfall for him. if he lets that right hand go, I will not be there. I simply enter the way I enter, and that is enough, they either overextend or they shrink away, but either way it is not good for them. I will create traps and dead-space inside that octagon and i will walk him into that dead space, but all of a sudden he will be in danger. We will collide in the middle of the octagon and José will fall on the first exchange" - Conor McGregor

spot on..

I'm digging this thread man.

nice!

I love how McGregor is obsessed with MOVEMENT. It's not something you see much of in fight sports.

I've been doing some yoga movements to open up my body and really get my hips mobile for soccer but this seems a lot more effective in doing that.

ya. looks more effective but i'm no yoga expert. just so much more you can do with "movement training". also makes use of alot more "dynamic" movements instead of static holds.

Any links to simple progressions? I would def work this stuff on recovery days/ use as a warmup. You  can just see the relationship he has with his body by the way he moves and even stands. Awesome athlete

no idea. ido portal's youtube has a ton of stuff, i'd browse there for starters.

Effect of the type of footwear on biomechanical parameters in the foot contact phase in middle-distance runners
Carlos Zingsem, Marcos Gutiérrez-Dávila, Francisco Javier Rojas

Quote
Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of two types of running shoes: standard training shoes and racing shoes, on kinematic and kinetic parameters of the foot contact phase in middle-distance runners. Thirteen male athletes with an experience in national and international competition have participated. Data was collected using a force platform operating at 500 Hz, and three video cameras operating at 210 Hz. An electronic signal was used to synchronize the temporary registration systems. Participants passed through all experimental conditions, one of them using their racing shoes and the other using their standard training shoes. Runners were informed to place their dominant foot in the force platform, located on one of the lanes of the running track. Running speed was stablished at two levels: reduced and competition velocity, respectively. Results have demonstrated that wearing standard training shoes promote a heel strike pattern, whereas wearing racing shoes promote a midfoot strike and a greater angular displacement of the ankle joint. Data relating to horizontal component of the ground reaction forces allow us to state that at low running speeds, standard training shoes are more efficient than racing shoes.

The effects of Plyometric training on Running Economy and performance among middle distance university athletes

Quote
Abstract:    The aim of this study was to ascertain the effect of a six week plyometric training
 program on the RE and 3000 meter time of a group university of middle distance
 athletes. Eight club level middle distance university athletes completed a twelve
 minute sub maximal test on a treadmill and a 3000 meter maximum effort run. The
 treadmill test was completed at velocities of 12, 14 and 16kmph (each for four
 minutes). Oxygen uptake was recorded and their running economy was calculated
 for each velocity. The 3000 meter run took place on a 400 meter outdoor running
 track. Four of the participants (experimental group) then completed a six week
 plyometric training program alongside their usual training while the remaining four
 (control group) carried on with their normal training. After the six weeks all
 participants repeated the tests. A paired t-test was conducted on the results and it
 was found that the plyometric training only had a significant effect on the RE of the
 participants who completed the training at 12kmph (p=0.004) and had no effect at all
 on their 3000 meter time. It was found that six weeks of plyometric training had no
 significant effect on the RE or 3000 meter time of middle distance athletes.

We are all familiar with the negative effects of a diet high in salt — from increased risk of cardiovascular dis-ease to worsening of autoimmune disease — so why have humans evolved to store high levels of salt in the body, particularly in the skin? New evidence points to a role for salt in contributing to cutaneous anti bacterial  defences.
