Boxing / Re: alvarado vs rios 3 - one sided
« on: January 25, 2015, 10:01:42 am »
rios looked the best I've ever seen him. He wasn't smiling/cursing/acting all weird. He was 100% focused. I don't even think he cursed in the interview after the fight. I think he finally realized how to take boxing serious.

He finally had defense. I've never seen him slip so many punches.

very impressive. Really look forward to seeing 'that Rios' fight again.

On the other hand, Alvarado is close to done (if not done already). He's taken some bad losses and he just doesn't have the heart to turn them around, it seems. Rios's losses have never been 'bad', ie, he's never been destroyed/ko'd from what i remember. Alvarado basically quit in the corner. He kept talking about his vision being messed up but it really just seemed like he wanted an out.

some excellent fights are being made.

gennady golovkin vs martin murray
adrian broner vs john molina
danny garcia vs lamont peterson
keith thurman vs robert geurerro
andre berto vs josesito lopez
shawn porter vs roberto garcia
lucas matthysse vs ruslan provodnikov
saul canelo alvarez vs james kirkland (damn cotto for his stubborness for beating past prime sergio martinez)
maybe pacquiao vs mayweather, or pacquiao vs khan or mayweather vs khan one of these is a possibility
carl froch vs bernard hopkins is being discussed and both want it

kovalev/pascal also!

ya 2015 is looking solid. I imagine it'll be pacquiao/khan, that then leaves Mayweather jr with nobody to fight? Looking forward to Wilder's next fight too.

definitely do not want to see froch/hopkins.

Then, as I'm standing there, the bar literally starts to feel lighter on my back, mid set. That has never happened to me before in my life! It was pretty damn cool to ACTUALLY FEEL the effects of adrenaline AS it's happening! So the weight feels light and then I get my confidence to squat even though my legs feel very shaky.
...

damn.. interesting.

edit: Reminds me of how Kingfish squats. Waits quite a bit before his first rep.

lots of glute/hamstring soreness since that last workout.


01/22/2015

soreness: glutes, hamstrings, calf
very sore


01/23/2015

soreness: glutes, hamstrings
very sore


01/24/2015

weight: 180
soreness: glutes, hamstrings
light soreness, most of it went away.


Session: Jog, Jump, Jog, Bodyweight Strength

Jog to court: ~3/4 mi

Jumps:
- tons of SLRVJ
- L-SLRVJ: a little more progress since last session, perhaps 124"? It was a double rim, so it's hard to tell. That particular jump felt the best yet.
- DLRVJ: horrible barely touching rim with fingertips

Jog home: ~3/4 mi

Bodyweight Strength:

S1: Neutral grip pullups: BW @ 3 x 3
- very weak

S1: Single leg squat, rear leg back, heel elevated: BW @ 10, 10, 15
- stronger on these already
- adductors/glutes a bit sore already
- right knee didn't 'collapse' on first rep today, which was good. All of that stretching might be helping. I'm loosening up some wrecked tissue in there near my calf origin/hamstring insertion.

S2: Pushups: BW @ 3 x 10

S2: Single leg calf raise:  BW @ 3 x 20
- need to get more ROM
- need to focus on getting off of my big toe


Getting off of my bigtoe applies to my SLRVJ too.

I don't feel (mentally) like I can even jump off two legs anymore. However, I feel mentally like I can eventually fly with SLRVJ. It's odd.

Had to wrestle a dog from wrecking my dog today. Gizmo is such a little punk. Snapped at a big dog. Big dog went berzerk trying to kill gizmo, had to wrestle him down to the ground by his throat. lmao. I had blood spatter on my shirt, in several spots. I think gizmo got a good bite on him during the fight because he's got no marks. He's 7 lb. Other dog was 40-50 lb. Havn't had to do anything like that in a while, hate it.

pC!

Single leg back squat, heel elevated: 3 @ 5, 10, 15
- sl back squat means off leg goes backwards

How is that? Is it the 'shrimp'?

15 sounds like a lot for SL-whatever squats, very nice.

hah thnx.

ya it's similar to the shrimp. Not holding my backfoot, and not elevated on something to get more depth. I'm basically firing my leg back, straightening it out a bit with some hip extension as i go down. Heel elevated.

i'm wrecked-sore today in glutes/hams. 8|

bw = 179

soreness = not much

injuries: this is going to be ongoing until i figure out how to fix it.. right knee. This is that old injury I got when riding that wrecked bike for ~6 miles or so. I've had this just havn't journaled it. It comes and goes and just makes my right knee feel 'weak', especially on things like single leg squat where some muscles literally want to give out on the first rep, but then after, everything is fine. Need to figure this out.

fatigue: a bit tired, sleep debt catching up

when: morning


Session: Jog & Sprint, Bodyweight Strength

shoes:nbmt

Jog/Sprint: 4 mi
- lots of ~10's
- a few extended 'mid foot jogs'

Bodyweight Strength

Pushups: 10 <- lmao

Single leg calf raises: 3 x 15

Single leg back squat, heel elevated: 3 @ 5, 10, 15
- sl back squat means off leg goes backwards


my glutes are wrecked.. pretty sore. Those sl squats were solid.

One thing i've never been able to do in life is mid-foot jog. Any time i've tried, it's resulted in EXTREME calf soreness (up to a week or more of debilitating calf soreness). I'd like to slowly try and see if I can acquire a midfoot style. If I can, my bounce when jogging would get ridiculous.

The drose5 was a little disappointing. It is still a good shoe but all the reviewers say that the boost is different than the running shoes, less bounce/pop.
Not buying the v-ball ones. Indeed they look like they don't have outside lateral support, i saw the pivot thing at the sole and i thought they did but that is the inside. I am ok with it though, what worries me is that they are designed for indoors so i am afraid the sole rubber will be too soft and wear out very fast. If i had indoor court access for my jumps i would be tempted to get them, but there are no gyms with bball courts here, you gotta rent a bball court for 1 1/2 hours and it costs 80$, FFFFUUUU.
Still, the boost is amazing. There is a very wide range of models now, check the reviews and get one that fits your style.
E.g. , i got those: www.sportsshoes.com/adidas-supernova-glide/ because they supposedly had the most 'firm' feeling boost at the time.
But i was also tempted for this one at the time: http://www.sportsshoes.com/adidas-adios/ lightweight running flats, kinda fits your preferred style.
I am waiting for the bball boost range to expand, the first two models are a bad one ( crazylight ) and a just ok (drose5 ). When they come out with a good one, i am getting it.
:lololol:

ooooh those adios's are nice..

this weekend i plan on getting a few different types of shoes.. i like that those adios's have teh boost.

"The Adidas AdiZero Adios were the marathon winning, record breaking series in 2011, by Patrick Makau Musyoki at Berlin Marathon"

dope.

no worries, b. i got a little jump start on it tonight, see below.  :highfive:

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: right knee a little, left shoulder bugged at one point and then was okay
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up

- DLRVJ submax: one-step x 2; two-step x 2; three-step x 2; four-step x 6
reached with both hands on most reps, but hit a very relaxed 33 on one of the four-step jumps. that's good.

- LTMP SKWAAAAT
-- gentle stretch: hip flexors inside and out, hamstrings, glutes (pigeon), quads, calves, lats x 30s,15s
-- squat 195 x 20
meant to go to failure, per the LTMP volume blog post, but 20 was a lot more than i thought i'd get (true failure might have been ten more reps! who knew i had that in me?) and i'm still a bit concerned about my form, so i cut it off there.

- stretch

nice!

ya, health first. stop if you have crappy reps. As you increase intensities on those higher rep squats, you can take several breathes in between each rep.. It's best to start taking several breathes after rep 10. So you definitely don't have to keep knocking them out nonstop. For lower intensities, you can challenge yourself more by not actually pausing/resting between reps etc.

nice tho, 20 rep on squat can be hard with nearly any weight on the bar.. 195 x 20 first try with more reps in the chamber is good!

pC!

still waking up at 5am.. loving it, even tho it's going to be a while b4 i'm completely adapted. I feel like i'm about to pass out right now and it's only 8 pm ET.

two sessions from the last two days. my last two jog and sprint sessions have been nuts.. brutal. So hard to transition mentally from jogging to 'full speed sprinting'. This is some of the stuff i was scared to commit to back when I was hitting the weights hard for dunking.. I went through a phase of running 400's back then, responded well.. basically trying to focus on that sort of training.

also plan on incorporating some bodyweight exercises after the sessions.. any from dips/pushups/pullups/single+double leg calf raise/sl squat/ball of foot squats/single leg rdl and eventually sissy squats etc.

i've been jumping in lotto quaranta ii tennis shoes. cushioned and structured like bball shoes, low-tops, and lighter than all but the most minimal running shoes, only 7.5 oz. and they're cheap as shit.

EDIT: actually i just bought another pair lol.

damn nice!

If i'm not mistaken, I think ARowe used to jump alot in tennis shoes.

those look solid. I'll probably order a pair.

JUMPING SHOES TALK, HURRRRRAAAYYYYYY!
Tennis shoes have always been a good option for jumping, for the exact reasons LBSS just mentioned.
Low-tops bball shoes like hyperdunks are also the same concept, the last kobes must be awesome from what i read.

ya I feel best in low tops.. even mid bug me. But I can tolerate mid. Can't tolerate high in the least.

I bought adidas boost running shoes to check the hype of that new magic foam, it definitely delivers, love them.

Ya I wanted to try on some drose5's, I think they are 'boost' too. No one had them in my size. I hear they 'feel new' every time you wear them.. dno


Quote
But a VERY interesting option, which i discovered just a little after bying my running boosts is this:
http://www.sportsshoes.com/product/adi6419/adidas-energy-boost-indoor-court-shoes/
Volleyball shoes, how did we miss that! The only sport that is all about DLRVJs. And here we have the most reactive cushion ever made, on a shoe that is made for jumping. The only possible problem might be the outdoors sole behavior ( traction and durability ). Gah, gotta get those babies!!!
PS : For the european fellas, this site is amazing!

never thought of vball shoes either. You going to get a pair? They don't look like they'd support dlrvj that plants hard with a 'side twist' etc.. dno


I'd still like to find some nice outdoor track/cross country shoes that feel like waffle racers. I plan on hunting for some soon.
