Exactly what mutumbo said. The best way to learn when new to running is to do a lot of running.

T0dddayyy mentioned doing 5 reps of 100m everyday until you see an improvement in your time. Also they develop these techniques automatically, but technical aspects should only be done in drills i.e. a walk, a skip and a run, that is a useful drill to follow if you want her to have high knees, arm swings back and forth. But never in actual runs as you don't want to concentrate, you just run.

Drills put the technique in place so when you run, they occur naturally.

They also have a powerplate, which feels nice to send vibrations along the back muscle after the tiring workouts. Don't know how to use it though lol, will research. The progressive squats are easier on tuesday than thursday, so in order to make it easy on thursday I have to pull out a few reps on tuesday and then progress to the next height. When I failed on the first set, I took the weights off to unrack back and tried again after a few seconds rest, bar felt better but still failed at that height, nvm.

Canelo's team is very clever when did negotiations with gennady's team, they didn't have a rematch clause except that if gennady won then the clause would be exercised. But now it's a draw they have to exercise it.

But ye I agree the draw makes the rematch so much more interesting.

It was a nice day, came in early, jump squats felt comfortable, the half squats I did with the pin at half position and put things on the pins to avoid the bounce as adarq suggested with towels, but doing it with pins is harder than without pins, so first 2 sets I did with pins and in the middle reps when going up, around half way up my upper back curves a little, which even if a little I didn't like to see that happen. It is harder because when you place it on pins your body is under less stress then back up it goes back to full stress, so collapse is bound to happen if not easy. The Pin squats was good, felt more comfortable at pin 12, did 1 rep breathing in and other steps when doing normal squats and placed on pin then back up, body leaned a little forward but nothing too serious then I risked to go down for 2nd rep and I failed when lifting a little off the pin but went back down. I have learned that the number failures you have add up to a success later on because of your body being adjusted to it and the muscle growth involved when the muscle is under tension when doing a lift and then failing, and that tension accumulates to strength gains and later on you will see you will be able to make it later on. The RDL's heavy as always, I place the pin at shin high and when I lift it my upper back curves a little, so next time will raise the pin higher just to unrack and then I can do the RDL's, Nice workout.

something I posted in a t-nation thread:

Well that was a lovely scrap.... What a sick fight.

I came away with different take-aways than some of the posts in this thread:
- Canelo's boxing skill is superior to GGG's. He was slipping GGG's punches all night, making him miss by a mile on many occasions. His counters were so sharp. He had GGG frozen for a good portion of the fight, GGG just couldn't unleash his power because he was missing too much & was cautious about what was coming back.
- Canelo's body work is absolutely beautiful. GGG abandoned his body work, for the most part.
- Canelo was way too tight in this fight. He looked nervous from the onset. He was shaking his arms throughout the fight, just didn't look settled. Even with all that, he somehow was able to slip & counter beautifully. GGG looked so relaxed and confident from the onset.
- Canelo's "Floyd Impersonation" probably tired him out even more-so. Just way too much backward movement, dancing around the ring. That's not his style, and I don't think it served his stamina well in this fight.
- GGG's heart is incredible. Towards the end of the fight, between rounds, man was he sucking wind. He looked absolutely trashed in the corner. But once the bell rings, he just comes forward in terminator mode and pushes through it. He didn't let his foot off of the gas, even while being very visibly fatigued.
- GGG's power is incredible, but Canelo can take it. Canelo's power is solid, and GGG can take it as expected.
- In the rematch, GGG won't be able to make as much adjustments as Canelo. This is why, for the rematch, I personally feel more confident that Canelo will win a decisive decision, as long as Canelo stands his ground more and comes in with more confidence. If Canelo has stamina issues throughout the entire fight, GGG will win "again".
- GGG definitely won that fight, but not by much. I can see how that could be called a draw, but 118-110 for EITHER fighter is an absolute disgrace. That fight was very close. I personally had GGG winning 116-112 but that could have easily been 115-113, which again is close to draw status.

I've seen some highlight videos posted so far, and in my opinion, Canelo has the majority of the highlights: slips, counters, combos, movement, all in Canelo's favor. His boxing is so damn sharp it's really impressive. GGG is a true warrior with freak power, but he's like an "old dog" at this point. I don't see him acquiring some of these nuanced skills like Canelo has done over the years. Canelo adopted TOO MUCH of a "Floyd style" in this fight.

IMHO, If Canelo stands his ground more in the rematch, I think he can really school GGG. When Canelo did stand his ground, he got the better of the exchanges. I have no problem with him backing up, but he needs to do it more "controlled" and waste less energy moving back explosively. He also needs to do less of it in general, and just stand in the pocket slipping & countering which he proved he can do against GGG.  If he makes those adjustments, which I think he will because he's that caliber of fighter, the rematch should go his way.

Also if anyone remembers, he stood between rounds in his last (few?) fights. I think he's been trying to improve/address some stamina issues in anticipation of a fight like this. IMHO, he was struggling for most of the fight. To me, you could see him trying to relax, but he just couldn't relax on the level he wanted. I think confidence and nerves could have alot to do with it, or maybe it has more to do with the weight gain, since he looked alot more relaxed when he fought at true welter. This is something they need to try and fix, fast. I don't think it's as simple as more road work/conditioning, there's some other stuff going on there. I mean he's been in so many 12 round fights, massive title fights, etc - at this point he should look way more comfortable throughout the first 3 quarters of a fight like this. The "arm shaking" is a big sign to me.. You don't do it as much as he did it, if you're not feeling very tight. He did lots of subtle shaking of his arms, and some overt ones as well. As a counter example, I can't even think of the last time I saw Floyd shake his arms in a fight.. Floyd's 12 round stamina is absolute god-mode. But Floyd ALWAYS fights his own fight. He doesn't switch it up like Canelo did, and fight with a different style. He just goes out and does exactly what he always does, and he's completely comfortable doing it, no matter the work rate of his opponent.

Anyway, SICK FIGHT.

peace

This reminds me of kovalev vs ward, that like in their first fight, that some people thought (me included) ward would not be able to make any adjustments, what adjustments did he have to make he fought an almost perfect gameplan and that kovalev had figured ward out and would come out and be more offensive and win in the second fight, but ward actually did adjust his gameplan and more better attacking the body more, more composed.

Same with this fight, Canelo is definitely the better puncher and fighter, he has an arsenal of combos and can set up a lot as he did in the last few rounds and if he had done that in the early rounds he would have won easily, but he moved alot and was hoping to counter and knock him out, which he should have realized that was not possible as canelo moved up to 160 and could not wobble julio who also a tremendous chin. So I think canelo if he starts to put pressure and golovkin and make the required changes I also see ggg making adjustments and targetting the body, can absorb canelo's power punches let alone his combos, ggg does have some good defence and if he comes out of his shell and just starts launching more power shots it will be close again, but not counting ggg out in the rematch.

adelayd given temporary break from big title fights  :uhhhfacepalm: basically saying she is good just need some rest before she is allowed to judge a fight and rob it like before.

Canelo disappointed with draw, I don't know why, as he should be satisifed with a draw as there is no way he won that fight as he thinks he did of winning 7-8 rounds. He will not fight until cinco de mayo and it better be a rematch with ggg.

Wow, such a good fight. I disagree with it being a draw I had it 8-4. But some rounds were close and because of that judge made it a draw. But to me I didn't see it draw, maybe 7-5. But wtf is 118-110 to canelo is just BS.

A draw is good in terms we get to see it again but then it would be unfair for golovkin who did enough to win it. I did watch hbo and some score they have I wouldn't I agree. I gave last round to golovkin but it was close.

It started off slow testing each other out, but golovkin was smart to rack in the points while testing him out. Then canelo started to pick up the pace and won round 2 and 3.

Now they both were at their peak and full prepared. But I could see golovkin was nervous because of the hype of canelo and most of the fights golovkin has been against had little hype and golovkin was comfortable to knock them out but once it started to get to people like kell brook, jacobs, who people felt would be challenge or have a few support he's confidence would go down slightly, more so with daniel jacobs, therefore he was cautious, so not really a decline, but also they are boxers making it hard for ggg who likes people who come forward who don't slick and slide. So in this fight ggg was nervous and anxious about canelo's counter punching abilities but later on started to relax, you could see ggg's corner trying to slow his heart beat down.

Now canelo I don't know why, but he had potential, but he relied too much on counter punching and because of that he would tend to move back, would jump in sometimes but most of the time would get himself backed into the ropes hoping to do something but he just was not successful and I think that was his game plan to counter punch and knock him out. So because of that canelo became less active and giving ggg confidence. GGG was flat footed but he also had good defense and showed good dodging. Then this was repeated for the rounds 4-9, round 10 they knew canelo was behind and told him to fight for his life in the last 3 rounds.

Last round was as was expected war and canelo showed his speed and combo, which was a close round, so I think it was golovkin, but not disappointed if they give it to canelo.

So I had it 8-4, no less than 7-5.

Now what canelo should have done, but didn't do because he was anxious of ggg's power. He should have jumped on him throw the combos like he did in a few early rounds and also did in the last round, ggg's power didn't hurt him when he landed, but because canelo relied too much on counter he became inactive instead he should have jumped on ggg and threw combos, that's where I had a feeling if it went full 12 rounds he would have won cos he can jump in land some combo's and jump out.

And what ggg should have done is land more to the body, in that fight he nearly landed almost nothing, 10-20 in the entire fight. If he had more it would have been more effective and canelo's counter punch should be a thing to worry because canelo did not carry his power to the middleweight as well as ggg being effective in defence and have a good chin.

This should have been an all out war as they both were capable of winning this way, no one could really hurt each other but because of being anxious they had to be defensive.

Also ggg landed very little power punches, he almost like just touches them or jabs them alot, I anticipate that when canelo is against the ropes with guard up, I would expect ggg to unleast but he would just tap his head, jab to the side and to the top and that's it move back.

So this makes me remeber mayweather pacquiao, just like this they expected fireworks, but they both anticipated each others power and boxing prowess and they decided to play it safe. But with this fight towards the end they became confident to combat and fight.

In their rematch, canelo needs to jump on ggg at the beginning and shouldn't worry about ggg hitting his as canelo is quick in and then out and ggg should be more confident unleash more, go to the body and land more power punches. But if the rematch goes 12 rounds I give it to canelo is he instead of backing up and trying to counter he should initiate the attack to get the points and get out, don't stand in the pocket longer then you need to, if he did this, then I am confident he would win the rematch easy.

But GGG should have won.

As mentioned above I didn't get enough time to train so I managed to pull in 2 runs, even though the staff said track was not available, but I saw an opportunity that I could use it for 30mins before it was permanently unavailable. So did my warm ups and then did my sprints. The first run was the get comfortable run, felt ok. The second run felt nice and strong and slightly explosive due to the slight cold weather and slight wind, but it was a nice run to end on. Did some entire lower body foam roll help get rid of the back and glute soreness.

Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Guillermo Rigondeaux official for December 9th

They would prob be the top 2 in their weight division even though guillermo is moving up a weight. It seems the people moving up in weight are at a disadvantage as many that have moved have lost only few won won. But It's going to be a great fight.

Even though I didn't succeed on the 12th pin squat, I am confident that I am capable as I did in last workout session, just need to make sure I don't lose focus and concentration, keep my core tight throughout, sometimes when I know I am placing the bar on the pin I go down without any effort and then I find out I am stuck in the pin. Next time I will get a few reps hopefully. RDL still heavy at 120kg, I can lower the bar to my knees midway with wide grip till then my back curves, so don't go any lower, else it will get ugly lol.

I drove most of it and parked so I get benefit of walking  :P 5 min from gym. Managed to pull out 1 rep which was good, only 1 more pin to go to get a full squat at 120kg using pins. the half squat, I was unsure if I was going deep enough so I place pins at around half and squatted down and found out that I could squat a little deeper so I removed the pins. Calf Raises always puts stress on my back, not stress on the joint but just by carrying it while standing and doing the calf raises my back hurts a little and then I rack the bar, that hurts my back more than the RDL's lol, which 120kg is heavy so will take my time on that. But Half squats progressing nicely adding 10kg on to the bar every 1-2 weeks.
 

 :ibsquatting: :ibsquatting:

awesome man! great job on this progressive depth pin squatting technique. it really is a great technique and you are proving it. your body is continuously "feeling 120kg" and adapting slowly as you get lower.

i've done similar things with pin squats, it really works well. I've actually also done similar things with running too, distances are like pins: hit a pace for some sub-interval of the desired length, and work your way back, very similar to this pin squat technique.. also very effective.

great stuff.

pc!

Thanks.

That's quite interesting about the distance thing. I was thinking if something like that would be effective with running. Do you think it would work if I ran 100% at a certain distance like 60m, 80m, 100m till my body is used to it, then bump up the distance to like 150m, then try and get your body adjusted to running the entire distance at 100%, at first you may not make it the entire distance ofc, so run until you get tired, then next session try again and try to get further, and hopefully you will be able to run the entire 150m 100%. ofc you won't be running the competition races entire 100% you would use like in the video you posted of 200m strategy, 100% for first 50-60m, then coast the curve and then slingshot and try and run it fast to the end and the endurance you gain from the above method may be useful towards the end of the race when you are trying to decelerate as least as possible.
