Ah, the spirit of Christmas is all over your previous post. Nice lit-up Christmas tree you have there!

ha ya



24 November 2015

7 days vertical jump cure routine.
-Weak front plank ( 30s was almost fail ), weak BSS iso hold ( fail 60s, could only hold 45s each side ). All other easy.

DB SHRUG:
4x15@10kg each hand.
-DBs too light so did them paused ( 1s hold on top of each rep ).

Stretch quads, hamstrings, groin, calves.
-So much tightness.


one thing i miss doing is single leg side bridges, those really helped my knees. need to add them back.

have you ever tried the "LTMP" stuff (I forget), or more simply, just mixing in static stretching with lifting? I had some serious flexibility gains back when I did that.

ADARQ..Thoughts on

Akbar jaffar ahbab..idk his real name, the kid who took apart an old clock and put it in a little case is suing the city and school i believe for 15 million dollars.

lmao.. sounds bad if you can't at least spell his name right, you know? That's like someone saying "Barack Hussain Mohammed". 8|

Unrelated slightly, but here's a video of someone making the same 'clock' that Ahmed Mohamed made:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHk_6Vh4Qeo

I'm not really annoyed with Ahmed, he doesn't know how much he "doesn't know". He comes off sounding like a "douche" when he talks about inventing something just by taking it apart; but he's 14, so he gets a pass. His family seems like they are using him a bit. If so, that's definitely a real problem. So many people now hate the kid, his family could be making it worse. dno. If the police did violate his rights, I have no problem with them suing. 15mil sounds like a big number but, sometimes those numbers are important to get law enforcement to follow the rules.

         My thoughts are, some of his teachers came out and said he was a douche bag in school, doing shit just to get attention and to be a prick so obviously my conclusion is he thought because he is a muslim, bringing in a clock that looks like a bomb during the times of all of the school shootings and what not, would cause a national attention.  If they win then I think it's absolute bullshit and they will probably win because PC bro.

I definitely don't think Ahmed thought that far ahead.. He's really young. Seems naive but energetic + passionate. His family may have thought that far ahead, who knows. Or his family may have just played that card once it happened to him. PC or not, these cases reach the masses quicker when it's a "minority" that has been "victimized" due to the possible discrimination/profiling etc. I mean it makes sense..

There are tons of cases that hit the news, of kids being expelled/arrested for bringing water guns/toy guns etc to school. I've seen a ton of em. So it's not like other incidents don't hit the news.

Alot of people are annoyed that Obama invited him to the white house.. Sure, Obama could have been trolled, or ignored it. But, Obama is also probably thinking about the "anti muslim sentiment" in the US. Look at it now.. Politicians talking about monitoring mosques, having muslims "register" etc. It's crazy shit given the principles of this country.. So minorities sometimes deserve a little "extra", given that a majority has so much power. Obama's invitation to Ahmed probably backfired though; Liberals loved it.. Conservatives hated it. Go figure.

Also

An article about someone making a fake FB group whites united NYU or something.
If it was real, do you think it's racist? even though blacks and muslims and what not can form their own groups and be PC bro?

Well it's not racist by definition:

rac·ist
ˈrāsəst/
noun
1.
a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
synonyms:   racial bigot, racialist, xenophobe, chauvinist, supremacist More
adjective
1.
having or showing the belief that a particular race is superior to another.
"we are investigating complaints about racist abuse at the club"



If white people get together and "embrace their white ness" or discuss issues affecting white people, then it's fine as long as they don't identify their race as superior or plot to oppress people of other races.. It obviously seems weird, but, if other races can do it, then whites should be able to as well.

I wouldn't go to such a meeting because i'm not "proud to be white". I'm white, whatever; genetics. I was lucky to be born a human, and an american. So I personally wouldn't be interested.

Like LBSS said, there is an "institutional racism" in the united states. So minorities banding together to discuss a perceived or real victimization based on race, makes sense.

Legitimate concerns ^^

1000 years from now society will be so integrated that people will laugh thinking back at these dividing lines.

I wrote a long ass comment to some jasmin chick about it, basically she said whites are idiots etc etc and she wont apologize for her black pride etc etc.

"whites are idiots" is racist :f



Quote
So I told her that if she and the other BLM people had so much black pride, then they would do what they could to set good examples, clean up their neighborhoods, get kids involved with school instead of drugs and gangs etc etc and to inform her that ignoring black on black crimes that happen daily is worse than focusing on the few incidents of cops shooting criminals.

i'm sure many of them do.. there are probably some great things to come out of black lives matter.. but the news media is going to sensationalize alot of the bad things, such as how some of them protest "disrespectfully" & "irresponsibly".



Quote
I also mentioned the black kids that raped and murdered a pastors white pregnant wife, and a black guy who shot a medical student in the stomach who was trying to stop a robbery and then pointed a gun to his head and tried to kill him but his gun jammed.

ya but, every race has disgusting criminals. You can name lots of white serial killers, even ones who eat people. Then white mass shooters. Asian mass shooters. Black snipers, etc..

Every race is committing heinous stupid crimes.

Before this comment gets thumbs down lol  I just want to be clear that I am not racist.  If you're a good person, no matter the race or religion or anything then ballin, we can hit bi's and tri's.

i don't believe you're racist in the "superiority sense", so no you're probably not racist. These "double standards" and "political correctness" elements bother you, which is fine.. but, you still have to put yourself in their shoes. There is and has been a real problem in this country for minorities in this country, especially blacks.

As for whites not being able to be victimized by racism, i've experienced racism several times (from white & black people). I've also experienced it as a third party, ie, white people verbally/physically attacking me/my friends because they were black. I've had white people try to jump me, black people tried to shoot me. Finally, i've experienced "profiling" and harassment/threats from cops. I have some experience in the race victimization department. It's a big cluster fuck. The real problem is embracing these divisions (by race, religion etc) to band people together to victimize people of another race/religion etc.

dno my 2cents.

surprised, took 5 HR's shortly after waking up:

15s: 11 (44)
15s: 11 (44)
15s: 11 (44)
15s: 11 (44)
60s: 46

promising.

What do the numbers represent? what is HR?

pc

yo,

HR = heart rate. so those numbers are a seated + rested heart rate. The "15s" measurements are heart beats per 15s, then multiplied by 4 to get the total. The "60s" measurements is heart beats per 60 seconds, so more accurate.

peace

sub-optimal sleep will obviously affect you but not as much as calorie restrictions. One day of calorie restriction might not be enough to cause too much of an impact, but subsequent days can kill your will to push yourself. Simply don't have any fast burning fuel in the gas tank. For important sessions where you care about your numbers, you have to fuel up (calories + hydration) good the day before.

I have ALOT of experience with calorie depleted sessions (dunking, running, lifting, etc). The real key is to acknowledge it early and not care about the numbers. You can still work on technique and go sub-max to get some work in. But even attempting max effort can be pretty impossible & take much longer to recover from.

I used to love dunking when very hungry.. I'd go without food for 6-8 hours or so (and just drink milk+coffee 30min before) to get this hungry-light-jittery-ampd feeling. However, the day before, i'd eat ALOT. So there are some tricks you can play but legitimate calorie depletion is only going to make you much less powerful.

you probably know that, but just stating it in case. If fat loss is such a primary goal right now, expect extremely zig-zag performance.

pC mutumbo!

neosporin ftw.

I need to start taking morning HR. When I boxed, it was usually 42-44 when I was completely rested. Don't think it's anywhere near that right now. I used to measure it every morning when I got to "work" (my internship) at this facility that had a cardiac rehab facility. They had some nice toys.

faced off against my mom today while watching jeopardy.. 7-7. lmao :f

once i'm done with this 5k.. it's OPERATION 155. It's absolutely pathetic that i'm still 165. Major failure. I have to be putting in more mileage daily and cutting back on intensity overall.



11/23/2015

sleep = 10 hours
bw = 165
soreness = calves slightly (GRRRR)
aches = right knee slightly, right hip slightly, right elbow slightly
injuries = left 4th finger cut (healing nicely so far though)



REST DAY!!!



Food

- orange juice
- gatorade
- greek yogurt
- 2 x 200mg ibuprofen



Food

- gatorade
- rice and beans with grilled chicken, chopped tomatoes, jalapenos
- 2 pieces of pita bread with butter



Session: "Leg Drain"

- the old school leg drain
- ~10-15m
- weird, barely felt it.. usually my legs start to "tingle" and feel fresh when I get up



Food

- 7 bananas
- 6 egg sandwich with bleu cheese, on wheat
- vegetarian chilli
- 2 x gatorade



Food

- gatorade
- some brookside chocolates.. the blueberry acai ones are good, but these clusters are ridiculous.



Food

- gatorade
- 2 x ibuprofen



interested to see how I run tomorrow.. going to be forcing myself to wakeup at 6 AM, run by 7-730. As soon as I wakeup, it's 3 glasses of gatorade and a "mostly" cold shower. Then a little later it's some jump rope, then run.

Danny garcia will fight robert guerrero on january on pbc but not much detail given.
if robert guerrero brings his aggressive style from the fight he had against berto, his other good fights then he might be a good match against garcia. ruben guerrero vs angel garcia will bring some comedy.

cool. guerrero didn't fight so great against aaron martinez though, so that's a bit concerning for this fight. Guerrero is going to fight Garcia at 140 or 147? I imagine 147.. Garcia trying to get some huge $$ fights, nice.

147 is stacked:

uh-oh, t0ddday is back and calling everyone out on not training hard enough.  :ninja:

nice  :ibsquatting:

No, not really. People should speak after they actually know how you train and know your life, or shut up. You can neg this post all you want, but this is my opinion and in my particular case that shit doesn't apply.

I was just speaking generally.. It reminds me of when I coached at MSC. Everyone was busting ass, training really hard, and in comes Jamie McOwen who would sometimes get under peoples skin by saying we aren't training hard enough, people aren't giving 100% effort etc. He made everyone elevate their game.

Same thing for Bruce Aven (the former MLB player who ran the facility). You could be on the verge of death from training so hard, he'd come in, and make you give so much more. For example, I was training this "minor league" football player who was ~250 lb & Aven was ~220 and barely lifted anymore, and he was trap bar deadlifting around ~505 or something.. So Bruce walks up, no warmup, asks if it was "heavy". No one really knew how to responsd. So he just picks it up like nothing, does a few reps.. drops it.. and goes "nah.. not heavy". Then walks off. Several egos were hurt, but.... People who thought they might be giving 100%, thought to themselves maybe they have been giving 95%.

So i'm saying "nice" from that angle. More of a "group training mindset" where people you train with can make you train harder.
