« on: November 09, 2015, 12:12:16 am »Jump rope test: Its a nice rope, I just only wish the cable was straight instead of scrunching up but I hope it will go away after I use it a lot more. It looks like that maybe you can put a weight in the handles? I'm not too sure but it has a plastic screw on the bottom and the handles are hallow I believe so even if you cant put a weight in it then maybe sand or something if you wanted. Overall I was able to get more reps in at one time than my other rope. My other rope is a lot thinner and is meant for double unders so this one was slowed down a bit which made it easier to stay consistent with the reps. Beginning rating of 4/5, if the rope straightens out then I will give it a 5/5 even though is not a big deal, I just feel like I gotta jump a little higher to get it started.
This morning
OH press strict: worked up to 200x2x1 with a push press thrown in the last set
bicep work
jump rope work, just didnt feel like doing too much, just wanted to jump rope lol
Since stopping crossfit and going for bro days, I am down 3lbs.....idk how to explain it lol
nice! ya the rope straightens out. mine isn't scrunched.

« on: November 09, 2015, 12:00:48 am »I saw u commented on an article about two black cops gunning down a 6 year old who happened to be white. I havent seen anything about it on the news so do you think if it were white cops n a black kid itd be different? I believe so since the media is out there to serve the government.
yoyo!
I saw something about it on the news once. But ya, i've seen lots of white individuals (young adults, old men etc) get killed by police, yet not hit CNN. There could be a media bias but I tend to think there's just more outrage by the black community when it happens to them, and there's a significant element of race. As far as the community goes, the black community shows their outrage. They organize walks & rallies. Prominent leaders in the black community (gov or church etc) speak out, some of which (like Sharpton) have a large voice.
If the white community reacted similarly, we would probably see it covered similarly. The key difference is that those white individuals being shot are probably by white cops, not black.
I'd be curious to see if Fox News is covering the shooting you mentioned, specifically because it was black cops killing white people.
I definitely think more of these shootings should be covered. Imagine how much worse the problem was before cell phone cameras, social media, internets, body cams etc? eek.. There's this huge surge of visibility now which is making it harder to hide from.

Just lookin to see your opinion on it and if or when i become a cop I wouldnt care if they wanted to hook up gopros all over me.
Nice! Good cops (the majority of them) need to lead on this issue. Hiding is weak; more transparency + more accountability will lead to better training, education, and hiring practices. That goes for pretty much the entire government too, tehe.

« on: November 08, 2015, 11:06:05 pm »hey man
regarding the calf massage, a video would be nice but could explain how do you massage your tight calf muscles, do you separate the calf and massage each one and then together.
pc
yo, I start in the "middle" with my thumbs, basically separating them with pressure and spreading outward with each thumb. I got up and back down. Then i'll work on each gastroc head. I don't do anything with the achilles. If I find a spot that is painful/tight, i'll gradually increase pressure and try to get the muscle to relax. I like to feel it become "jello". I'm not a pro at this though and I don't do it too often. There's a few videos out there by pros on youtube, maybe they would be better to emulate than just winging it.
Just by trial and error, you havn't felt any benefit?

Boxing / Re: Tonight (11/07/2015): Bradley v Rios and Lomachenko v Koasicha
« on: November 08, 2015, 10:43:36 pm »excellent fight from bradley and lomachenko. lomachenko was good as always, the opponent don't know him but he was not at the same level as lomachenko, lomachenko smart, accurate moves alot.
Now bradley, he was very good, accurate, I was sometimes confused by the advice given by teddy atlas, but bradley showed he was powerful and the punch to the solarplex ended it, brandon was good but just not the same as he used to be and he is a brawler, so I think even if he was his old self bradley would have won the movement, the boxing and jabbing and the combos definitely which i loved the most.
but a good night of boxing, I was scared maybe brandon might luckily connect with bradley, but that never happened no opportunities, bradley just doing his thing, I also noticed the obvious of the side step with weave under the right punch of the opponent to return back with a right hook, good idea but never did see it connect much. but enjoyed the fight.
ya that didn't happen (rios lucky connect with bradley) because Bradley's defense and movement were much improved. He barely got sloppy. Normally he gets into these ugly slug fests, punching with no defense. I don't know if it was Atlas or what but, he basically fixed that in this fight, which was a very important weakness in his game IMHO. On the inside he kept his head on one side of Rios; very hard for Rios to hit him with any power on the inside. The biggest issue I saw with Bradley was when he "backed up" and kept his hands down. He always does this & he needs to fix it ASAP. He's lucky he didn't get caught backing out with his hands down or it would have been a massive problem.
From that one fight, it seems that Bradley / Atlas are a perfect match for each other. Absolutely loved the instruction from Atlas in the corner & Bradley's receptiveness to it.
To me, Rios looked the same as he always does. I really didn't see any decline. This is similar to what happened when he faced Pacquiao; Rios is better in slugfests. Pac & Bradley both simply outboxed him. It sounds like a good thing for him to retire though, you can't "lose that fire" and keep boxing, that is when it becomes very dangerous.
Oh I also loved Bradley's side-step move with the body shots/hooks. Reminds me very much of Pacquiao & Lomachenko, they both do that move alot. It was really effective.
Lomachenko looked great, but almost bored in there. People are going to need to step up and fight him. It definitely reminded me of GGG in there facing "subpar" opponents.. Instead of just ending things early, they let it go on a little longer to get some more rounds in and give potential opponents some hope.. HEH!
