It’s actually happening! Floyd Mayweather has agreed to fight Manny Pacquiao, a new report claims. Apparently, the two just came to an agreement earlier today, Jan. 30. And Manny tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that he plans to ‘fight hard.’ Find out when and where this epic battle will go down!

So when can we see that weak dunk 

OH SHIT!

hope this is 100% legit.. like my friend just said, "i'll believe it when it hits front page news everywhere". This is great though, that's the fight of the last few decades. This is enormous.

Also, I guess i'll have to try and land a dunk before May 2. lulz! Who knows, maybe it'll be possible as time gets closer.

FLOYD!

TMT!

quick logging, 2 sessions

01/29/2015

bw = 177
soreness = left calf, quads, hamstrings

felt achy today.


Morning: Session: jog & sprint, jump, jog & sprint

3 mi jog/sprint:
- got some nice sprints in

jumps: very light
- did a few slrvj for rim touch but barely tried to jump
- then started doing some distance SLRVJ's not going for rim touch, just coming in from a longer approach at more speed and jumping for distance.. was fun

.4 mi jog/sprint



Evening Session: jog

3.4 mi jog:
- tried to jog at a consistent faster pace, decent
- foot strike was nice.. jumping may be helping with this



pC!

01/28/2015

weight: 178
soreness: right quad (damn wtf), left calf, left bicep

still sore wtf.

Session was pretty good. Eventually i'll get to throw in some hardcore reactive work. I'm going to give myself an incentive and say, no reactive work until I hit 169.


Session: jog, jump, and sprint

shoes: nb xc900 v2

Jog/Sprint: ~0.75 mi
- jog to court
- ~5-10 yd sprints mixed in

Jump: About 10 each leg
- Decent. Felt good in the new shoes.
- Didn't get to do my 'just beyond 3-point line' runups because portions of the court were wet.
- L-SLRVJ: 124-125" on max touch. ~123" avg
- R-SLRVJ: 120" on max touch. 

Jog/Sprint: ~3 mi
- ~5-10 yd sprints mixed in



Throughout the day:
- Lots of stretching. Feeling very light/loose, but much work is left to be done.
- Must be careful not to injure myself stretching (ie rip something). It's happened before.
- By far the biggest problem area I have, are my adductors. Very tight. It's been this way since I was perhaps 11 years old or so. Lost my flexibility 'out of nowhere'.


I'm just going to stick "PR" next to my R-SLRVJ. I've never been able to get too high off my right leg, so i dno, seems like a "recent PR" or maybe a PR historically. which is nutty.

I need to eventually find some measurements for PR's other than jumps, since i'm not going to hit the weights like I used to.


pC!

word. might pick up a pair in that case. i've been enjoying jumping in my super-light tennis shoes but maybe it's time to start experimenting with racers again.

nice!

yea those tennis shoes looked nice, the lottos.. I was on the verge of buying a pair of those and the adidas adios's but I found these and just went with it. uber-light shoes make me want to do athletic stuff. Still to this day, the best jogging i've ever experienced was in vibram's, which was intense as fu*k. Best jumping was/is in NZWR's. Best sprinting in NZWR's. Although, sprinting in vibram's felt pretty dope, could feel myself getting pull with my toes. Just can't be that safe.

i did hit my all-time PR in xc flats.

what kind of xc flats were they again?

but nzwrs were/are too narrow for my feet and not generous enough in the toe box to accommodate my arthritic toes. 

ah.. these may be SLIGHTLY wider than NZWR's. Maybe not too much to be noticeable.

pC!

COLD AS F**K THIS MORNING. For Floridians, 50* F is freezing. Wasn't expecting it so I had to battle it a bit.


weight: 178
soreness: right quad, left bicep, left hamstring
stretching: lots! stretching brings out some old injuries (which are actually stretching related, lmao.. so have to be careful). Feel very loose/light lately.


Session: Jog & Sprint

Run: ~3.4 mi
- Only ~10 sprints mixed in.


Hoping to get some jumps in tomorrow. I have a slight plan with the 'bodyweight training' portion of the workouts. Basically, I'll try to get several jog/sprint/jump days done. Once I feel 100% recovered, following that specific workout, i'll do the bodyweight training exercises (which have wrecked me lately).

So, the other part of that is the combined jog/sprint/jump days. I'd like to get some work in for those 3 particular movements, each session, to varying degrees. One sessions might be more jog dominated than the other.. One more jump oriented etc. But every session incorporates something from each movement.

That will be possible if these shoes I just received, allow me to max SLRVJ.

Sounds fun tbh..

pC!

We want a shoe review as soon as possible

Let's see if those image links work.

NB xc900 v2's feel fairly amazing so far. Immediately can feel the similarity between them & nike zoom waffle racers. These actually seem lighter (feather light, 4-5oz). As to whether or not i'll be able to max RVJ in them, not sure yet. I predict i'll be able too. They are stronger than both of my nb minimus shoes (and i've jumped on the minimus trails). So, I imagine they will feel like waffle racers. They look ridiculous too, love em`. Feel very springy in them. Also, very comfortable just walking around. You get big toe push off fairly ez.

The plan is to be able to jog, sprint, and jump all wearing these shoes. I can't do that in my minimus shoes (too intense) or basketball shoes (too heavy/clunky, hyperdunks).






As for the NB minimus zero v2's, they feel slightly heavier than the xc900's. The sole feels similar to the touch, but once you put them on, it's obvious they are vibram's. They aren't comfortable like the xc900's, but that's how they are supposed to be. Intense shoes for sure. Will be good to walk around in at work perhaps. They feel more intense than my NB minimus trails, so right from the getgo I doubt i'd ever jump in these shoes. It would be like jumping barefoot on concrete.


Also, here are my NB minimus trails that I've been running in:



So far, perhaps the most durable shoes i've ever worn. The build is so rugged. The bottom of the sole still looks fairly new and i've put in some decent mileage on concrete/pavement with them. The fabric seems stitched/sown in durably as well. They are intense so jogging/walking in them would be ideal. Sprinting/jumping is risky. No idea how you would run/sprint on trails with rocks etc because you can really feel it through the sole. Very good shoes though, love em`.

pC!
