Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: Two Hands Two Feet

Found this earlier in relation to the Justa method. What I do is a variation of given the 2 reps instead of just singles.

niice



as for putting on the belt out of nowhere .. dno, i'm not a fan of it. High frequency squatting itself should make the bar feel lighter. Whether or not your lower body can lift it out of the hole is another question. High frequency squatting should do wonders for your back/core/etc.

If your form goes to shit after 110 kg but you still want to go heavier, you can transition into half squats.. but you have to literally change the exercise in your mind. I would also hit a "repeat" single at the last weight you just lifted deep, but with the higher depth (half) before adding more weight to the bar. I wouldn't add more weight until that feels comfortable form-wise, then it is safe to move up. But you definitely don't want to perform heavier half squats if your half squat form is crap too, that's definitely not safe. At that point it's just stay at your heaviest weight with great form (+ ~0-10 lb) and hit several more singles.

my 2 cents

started reading my SSTM For Coaches book today.. going to read all of it over the next few weeks. then i'll probably re-read and it take more notes etc.

I *MIGHT* be handling this lower calorie diet better when running.. ie, I might be making better use of metabolizing fat. That's just a possibility though. No explanation for why I felt as good as I did today. Prior to the run I thought i'd feel like complete crap... perhaps it was just the rest day yesterday, who knows. We'll see as the following days unfold.

Also, i'm going to do some deeper squatting in some of these lifting sessions.. I'm not ONLY going to half squat. Will probably go deep next session with heels elevated.

I'd like to run early tomorrow morning. Probably jump rope in session #2 mixed with dips/pullups and such.

Boxing / Re: jacobs vs quillin
« on: December 08, 2015, 04:58:28 pm »
how wrong was I?

wow wtf?

 :wowthatwasnutswtf:

+1
wtf, I am going to watch that again, daniel caught him badly, I did say that if he found the opportunity he would knock him out, but damn
jacobs was vicious after smelling fear and danger from quillin and was on him, which after quillin did not respond not even once except hold and the punch that knocked quillin dizzy, wow.

I was soo wrong in it going 12 rounds but there was that feeling that there was a possiblity for jacobs to knock him out but at the time of the fight, i saw quillin was big and was thinking there aint no way jacobs is going to knock this guy out. but ... just speechless.

pc

 :o

ya, still shocked at that first round ko.

quillin showed less boxing IQ.. he was very hurt and instead decided to keep trying to trade punches. He didn't clinch or cover up too well. It would have been interesting to see what would happen if he survived round 1, because Jacobs went all out trying to kill him. Jacobs looked fine though, he was in great shape.

Boxing / Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Manny Pacquiao - May 2, 2015
« on: December 08, 2015, 04:53:57 pm »
ya mayweather is so good on the ropes. loved some of the stuff he did in round 6, including his counter uppercut and his taunting on the ropes. it was hard for pac to let his hands go, mayweather does that to you. you can see pac hesitating. If pac wanted to beat pbf he'd have to not care about getting ko'd and put serious pressure on pbf.. kind of like maidana did in maidana v pbf 1, but pac has more hand speed and better accuracy so he could have eventually inflicted some damage. If you have a style like pac's, you just can't be too cautious vs pbf because he'll make it his fight and pick you apart.

nice highlight vid with the slow mos.

Will Bernard Lagat Live Forever?

http://www.newyorker.com/news/sporting-scene/will-bernard-lagat-live-forever

"What explains his longevity? One obvious explanation is that he doesn’t train very hard, at least in the way that “hard” is defined by serious runners. Lagat takes a day off every week, and he takes five weeks off every fall. At his peak, he runs about sixty-five miles a week. When he talks about his training, he sounds relaxed. Cam Levins, who came in third on Saturday night, recently ran a hundred and ninety miles in a week. Lagat does run his workouts hard, and he has perfect form"
