Final Day - Didn't record it just got it timed, it was as bad as I imagined it it to be.
Warm ups A skip B skip Butt Kicks Lunge walks Light warm up
Dreaded 1200m I started the 1200m at a good pace and then thought I was not at a good pace, so increased my pace and maintained it nicely until the 400m stretch I was tired and was thinking 'oh man I started too fast' and I was slowing and was thinking stop and start again but I wouldn't let my body follow and I actually just continued running past the line, it was soo cold, I was already tired and I just started the second lap and I was thinking a lot of things, what if I stop and then rest continue running, they won't blame me, but I just would not let my body listen to my thinking, I approach 700m bend and I don't pay attention I am just running in a dead state trying to not let my body slow down just continue at that pace, then I am approaching the final lap and am struggling to find a way to keep going so I just blank everything out and just run, tired, dead and just dragging my body and my hands are becoming numb my mouth becoming numb, its freezing cold, I approach the 1000 straight and saying let me just get to the bend and then after once on the bend I am excited I am not going to give up and sprinted the final straight up to 1200m, after I was dead my entired legs was aching, glutes, calfs, quads, hamstring, feet my hands are numb, lips cold and numb but am soo happy that I just ran 1200 without stopping and at a constant pace, I don't know how but my body would not let up would just continue dragging the dead body but will not stop, it was very very hard, I had to rest for a long time and then after since my brother came as well I gave him a race after, was fast and beat him to 70m, did a stand start.
I just cannot say it enough, I was soo tired after the 400m I don't know how I dragged myself continuously the rest 2 laps, but happy I did.
Measurement:
1st Lap: 1:24.96 2nd Lap: 3:12.24 Final Lap: 4:53:54
No, more, next time I will run it slower start pace, lower intensity.
I heard of this because jones is good, last fight he was widthstanding a submission move and still won that fight. but i don't really watch it either. but congrats to jones for winning.
V-Sit ups: these are hard in terms of bring my leg while keepit straight above while at the same time bring my arms straight towards my legs as well, so sometimes my legs would not be straight enough and 45 degree to the floor: 30
Squats (little brother on my shoulder, it was heavy): 3
Bodyweight Hamstring Curls Unassisted: 5
RDL (Avisheck style, I used a folding bed, with my brother on it): 5
It was very cold and the track where I ran the 180m had frost on the ground until 3/4 round the bend and it was icy cold and windy.
I did my regular warm up I normally do but with the addition of tuck jumps and ankle hops before running, the warm ups felt good.
Warm Up same
Flying 60m did exactly as acole prescribed I had cones at 20m as there was a line for 0m, cone at 50m and then at 80m, my aim was explode out accelerate up to 20m mark and maintain it all the way.
Measurement:
1st Run: 50m - 6.45m 80m - 11.38
2nd Run (according to video, as my sister had to do recording instead of measuring) time from video, which is quite hard because of angle. 20m - 2.97 50m - 5.90 80m - 10.8
The 2nd run gives me a flying 60m of 7.83s, which I am quite happy with.
As you can see that my start is very slow it's more like I get up from the start position and then run instead of exploding out and running. So if I had a proper start it would be 0.5 seconds faster.
But with 180m as you will see, I was fast on the go as it was from a stand start rather than from a 3 point start.
180m Sprint As it was icy cold with frost on the floor, 3/4s of the bend and the entire 100m on the other side is covered in frost, but I checked there was not alot of slipperiness on the frost. I think that's why there might have been apprehension with my flying starts because it was wet the floor because of the frost.
So, I am sort of happy with the timings and my performance considering it was in the morning with a lot of ice and frost on the floor and it was a little windy and very cold, icy cold.
I couldn't do the gym as when I went there they said they were closing in 10 min because it was new years eve so I will do the bodyweight workout on saturday.
A day of failure, everything just went wrong, today i had a meeting at 9:30am so I decided to go there and wait for my sisters there but at 11am they were still asleep had to come home and go with them, we arrived it was closed until 3:30pm, so we arrived late.
So have planned to do 2 tomorrow, no meeting so will make sure they wake up and go to the track and then after go to the gym.
fwiw back of foot is the standard, front of foot doesn't matter. good on ya for getting to the track. not much to say about the vids except that you are, unsurprisingly, even less explosive than i am and i'm toward the bottom of active posters. looks like you need more power, more strength. you definitely need to change up how you approach working out, you've been doing the same thing forever now and it's not making you all that much faster.
thanks for the feedback, this is what I was thinking from the videos also, less explosive. will see my flying 60m sprint to see if it has improved my speed.
Success, I finally got to a track, I had to pay £3.60 and since it was icy and cold the track was empty and all to myself lol. So that was good and also the sand was only covered by some material, which I could unravel to get to the sand. When I arrived I brought my sisters to do the filming, the track guy at reception said no photography or filming so it had to be secret filming lol But it was at a comfortable paced and the guy only occasionally over looked us to make sure we didn't do anything wrong and left, so I told my sister to film in a place that was hidden from the cameras.
Test Day 1 - Power Test
Warm ups: Just did some mobility stretch i,e, ankle, hip, glutes, hamstring
Broad Jumps I tried my best, on the second jump I tried so hard landed in front of my body and the floor was a little slippery I slipped. I did the jumps with my front of my foot behind the measuring line.
Standing Vertical Jump Since I had the camera had to be out of view of the surveilance cameras the videos is quite far but I did it in front, all you have to know is that the top of the bar is 9' 7 as a reference point, I recorded my first jump and the others I had my sister go up and hand a measure tape down and measure my reach when I jump.
Measurement:
1st Jump: unknown as was recording 2nd Jump: 9'1 3rd Jump: 9'2 4th Jump: 9'2
5 Consecutive DL Bounds I could remove the covering for the long jump pit, which made my jumping more safer and less painful so I could jump all out in the pit. I recorded both attempts as I wanted to try better in the next attempt.
Measurement: (from the start of the sand pit, back of foot - front of foot)
I suffered something similar quite a while back, I was walking back home with my brother younger than me by a few years, in his teens, he stood on a wall tried jump and attack me with his hands, but ended up landing on my foot in a twisted position, first it didn't pain, but later on it got worse and worse even a blanket on it would cause it pain, so I let my father apply heat rub and it is a deep tissue massage style application, bear the pain, place compression socks, get weight off it for a bout a week, probably every week reapply heat rub on it and place compression socks and that made it better in about a few weeks, didn't have to go to the hospital to get crutches just hopped around, but you need to rest your feet and elevate.
Yeah so much talk happening with may weather, but I feel its a trick may weather is pulling because canelo vs cotton happening on cinco de mayo and sees only pacquiao can steal show from canelo so he is putting bob on tight spot take pacquiao fight or cotto fight he will have to give one up and if he decides to remain faithful to dela hoya people will feel arum is stopping major fight, very shrewd
Oh yeah forgot to mention andy , he was quite impressive.

Did you notice that, everyone who fought 'backing up' won? Something to be said about that..
That's true.

I always jump as high as I can wearing rubber slippers, but only using my ankles, without knee bend, I bounce as high as I can on every jump using my arms and decided to measure it and it was 21", which is not that bad. It wasn't an official test just a random measurement as I was close to hitting my head on the ceiling which is 27" from my head.
Wow what an excellent night of boxing, loved the hbo fight and showtime. firstly bradley vs chaves
that guy is tough, but bradley had a good gameplan of boxing and trying to power punch the other guy is good aswell, he was good counter punching and can take a punch and that guy was swinging and countering, and they both were trying to knockout each other from round 1 without any signs of tiring, but when I heard one person gave it to chaves, i was like what?, second guy gave it to bradley was good than i was thinking the third guy is a good judge and he gave it a draw i was shocked. man bradley's eyes swole up, on the cheek aswell lol.
the thurman fight was good, but the 40 year old fighter was good also, he would not go down but he was also undefeated, but he was very awkward for thurman, thurman was not able to do much, so funny everybody boing thurman because he didn't knockhim out, pathetic, but he said I will fight the way i want to fight lol, they are not the ones boxing.
finally, khan vs alexander, a favorite fight, i like this khan more, very minimum holding, this is the khan i knew and liked, he was fast and he doesn't have knockout power so khan didn't have to be very cautious but sometimes he would jump in but it was a little and go caught but composed himself and continued, he was very good fast and would love to see khan vs mayweather.
so an excellent knight of fighting, the first fight on the hbo broadcast, the decision was outrageos, i heard, saw highlight, can't believe they gave the decision to benavidez, lol, cost him the title.
