i dreamt that as i was winding my watch, the knob kept coming out farther and farther, and the back of the watch started to come apart. not fall apart, but kind of expand and rearrange itself like a little transformer. then i couldn't figure out how to push it all back together.
holy crap 15 hours of sleep.
ya, hibernation.
I got 10 today too.. ;fHey, what'd you think of the Ronda fight if you watched it(its been floating around fb) Looks like shes been too cocky that she will beat everyone so quickly that she didn't work on conditioning because she was looking like me after doing a metcon in the second round.
yo, didn't watch it. I saw some gif's though.. Heard she was just outboxed. Holm has waaaaaaaaay better standup. Alot of people seemed to want Rhonda to lose because of her recent cockyness, seems like they got their wish. I didn't hear anything about her gassing though, only that she got taken to school in boxing and then KTFO'd.
Yeah I skipped the first round because well girls fighting is boring when its a sport, when they are grabbing each others hair and ripping clothes thats when it gets interesting. The 2nd round she looked wobbly, could've been because of her gassing or the kicks n punches to her dome. She looked hot in the pretty much nudie pics she took but after that fight eeeek, looked like her face gained 10lbs lol
holy crap 15 hours of sleep.

Hey Andrew,
Just wanted to say thanks for the dorsiflexion advice. Those power skips are great as a warm up before I do my plyo's. I've been wired for so long not dorsi-flexing, it still feels awkward and gotta actively think about it during my plyos and I still can't get it perfect but it's improving. Hopefully I can re-wire myself soon, but it's definitely improving.
I still can't get the heels to touch the floor on my SL bounds but I'm getting around my midfoot now and it's definitely helping me load my glutes/hams better! The key is as you said: focus on cycling the leg properly, getting the heel under the butt (on top of focusing on dorsi flexing of course)
Hey adarqui I've recently started to incorporate hip thrusts into my program and I really like how they activate and work my glutes but even with a padding they hurt my pelvis/pubic bone area quite a bit. Have you done them before? Any suggestions how I can solve this issue?
Yeah well it depends on a lot of things... like how bent the knees are, the stance width etc. Weirdly enough, I feel better activation with the legs straight, but I'm speaking in general terms, not during the hip thrusts themselves (like if I try in bed to activate the glutes, I activate them much better with the legs straight than with the knees bent). Theoretically, the more the knees are bent the less the hamstrings contribute since you're putting them close to active insufficiency, but... the reality is that the glutes really really work well when the legs are straight. Whatever.
