nah i'm from maryland, lived in DC the past 8 years until moving to pakistan. sparring with jon jones sounds like a recipe for a dislocated shoulder at best.

this is the gym here: https://www.facebook.com/TeamFightFortress/?fref=ts

-1 for fast does lie for a homophobic joke that makes no sense.

i'm a lifelong duke fan but i can't defend this shit. he's like draymond green but joyless and not funny.

you're still a weird dude. just a decent scorer? he's led the league in points four times and is fourth all-time on the career PPG list. he's ninth all-time in win shares/48 minutes. he's even been in the top-ten in defensive win shares five times in his career.

thanks both, good advice. adarq i'm not talking about actually fighting, i meant more grappling/sparring. if i get into the training and it seems like an actual bout would be fun, i'll cross that bridge when i get to it. no interest in getting hit in the head or hitting someone else in the head. although, from a brain preservation perspective, i also really want a motorcycle.  ::)

obvious photoshop is obvious can't find the one we were looking at now but i've seen a few over the years where he's pretty built.

74 kg !! :wowthatwasnutswtf: :wowthatwasnutswtf:

give athletic anorexia a chance!! :( :(

no.  :P

fwiw I absolutely hate bjj.. when I was boxing at ATT, I tried a few bjj classes (no-gi and gi). In the gi class I had several 250-300 lb. men eventually just lie on top of me while trying to choke me out. In the no-gi class I dislocated my pinky toe completely while doing drills on the mat, oh that was after doing like 10 minutes of chokes. hahaha. At that point I realized, I will do everything to stay on my feet if I have to defend myself. i'll stick2boxing. lol.

If you end up training with some dedicated wrestling/bjj/mma folks, you'll find some great training partners.. Those people are nuts and usually train pretty hard. It's a cool group of people.

pC!

yeah it looks like a recipe for lots of injuries. OTOH, i want to fight someone. the size difference thing could be kind of cool even, at least in sparring, because you have to play to each other: the class i watched in saigon had big dudes grappling with little women and they just made it work. obviously the guy could just crush the woman if he wanted to in a lot of cases, but that's not what the training is about, and people were working together on it. seemed like fun.

many chicks do not dig the huge pec look, in my experience. i was actually having this conversation with my special lady friend last night, looking at a pic of hugh laurie (dr. house) in which he's jacked and shirtless. and i said, if i gained like 10 pounds (or 20 considering i'm way lighter than i though i was) i think this is more or less what i'd look like. and she said, would you want your pecs to be that big, though?

implication clear: pecs not crucial. arms/shoulders and butt, more crucial.

ivan stoitsov's got it down.

Did you end up trying BJJ or not yet? It's an addictive martial art/sport. I am starting up once normal life resumes at the end of Jan.

haha no i posted that update last night and the only things i've done since are watch "tinker, tailor, soldier, spy," have sex, sleep, eat breakfast, and come into the office. i'm on the forum as a way to avoid looking at my email, which is predictably terrifying after two weeks away.

BJJ will have to wait until my finger is well enough to grab with.

got back from my trip last night. ended up being great. only did the one proper workout but not fussed about it. i was looking forward to trying BJJ with my buddy who lives in saigon but ended up mangling my right ring finger my first morning there. gripping is still a bit of a challenge (actually even typing is a bit uncomfortable) so needless to say i did not get to grapple.

today i worked out with my friend, following her plan. next time, my plan.

WEIGHT: 74.8kg (!!!!!!! if that scale is accurate i've lost like 8 pounds since arriving here)
ACHES/INJURIES: knees a little
SORENESS: none

- warm up

- HIIT circuits x 5, each A/B pair 40/20 x 2
can't remember all the exercises. a couple of them were real gassers, though. one where you squat then jump up and do a 180 and squat again, then back, etc.

- yoga x 10 mins as cool down

knees were slightly displeased by the end. also, shit i'm light. maybe i should just do a round of starting strength and eat more once my finger heals enough to hold onto stuff. i don't like feeling skinny. athletic anorexia is not lbss's style. if i could get up to 80kg or so and still as lean as i am then i would feel so good. yes.

also, i really got into the idea of doing BJJ/MMA when i was hanging out with my boy in vietnam. seems like so much fun and such a good workout. maybe i'll start in with SS once my finger is okay and then after i'm a bit back in that groove i'll go try a BJJ class. it's a bit too cold to play tennis at night now; during the day would be fine but i have a job.

Last night:

- AMRAP x 30 mins
-- 200 rope turns
-- 25 BSS/leg
-- 20 push ups
Finished 11 push ups shy of 8 rounds

Push ups def the limiting factor. Also Phuket blows, don't come here.

ACHES/INJURIES: right ankle
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up
getting groove back with jump rope

- plate jump squat 15s x 5,5

- SVJ x 4,4

- paused squat 110 x 5,5
eh, still don't feel that great

- bent over row 50 x 10+3+3+3

- bench 70 x 10+3+3+3

- some other crap that i forget

- hyper machine sit ups + mini BB x 10+3+3+3

- stretch

I think today will just be 30 reps for each exercise so possibly 2x20.  Hopefully it will make the workout go quicker because i just want to go home and sleep right now haha.

2x20=40

???

right posterior superior hip was fuxored earlier today, i literally limped for a couple of steps after getting up from breakfast. loosened up by late morning and i think it's okay now.

haven't logged it because it hasn't been a problem during workouts until i ran a couple days ago (when i think it was linked with the right calf cramp). but the same spot has tweaked a few times this year, during sex. most recently a couple weeks ago. pain always goes away quickly but there's clearly something nagging there. think i exacerbated it yesterday by holding squats too deep. 100 is so light that it feels okay to go all the way down but clearly i should be more cautious, especially if my entire damn purpose at the moment is to focus on form. smh.
