I forgot to post this. But seems it's legit.

Khabib nurmagomedov will take on tony ferguson on UFC 18th April.

Great fight. I'm not familiar with how good ferguson but have heard that he is the only top contender worthy of a shot against khabib.

IMO you should do your power snatches before your squats

the freshness will help the speed, and they will fire you up for your squats etc

Thanks for the advice.  :highfive:
Will try that.

Soreness: glutes, part where glute meets lower back, hamstring slightly

Condition: I got to the gym at 5:15pm, later then I would like. It was not a good session, it was really a struggle. Deadlift from tuesday had fatigued my glutes and they had not recovered properly for todays session and the reason for the poor performance today. Didn't even get a proper upper body session let alone core work

Warm up
   ankle mobility
   calf stretch
   seated hamstring stretch
   quad stretch on bench
   single and double leg glute bridges
   high knee holds with kettlebell on end of feet
   squat stretch
   back stretch

Workout
   Jumping switching lunges
      - 1 x 3 each leg @bw
      - 1 x 3 each leg @8kg dumbbells in each hand
      - 2 x 5 each leg @20kg dumbbells in each hand

   Half Squats
      - 1 x 3 @20kg
      - 1 x 3 @60kg
      - 1 x 3 @100kg
      - 3 x 7,55 @140kg
         - 1st set failed on the 5th rep so took 1 plate off from each side placed it on the rack and added the weight back on and completed 3 reps
         - 2nd set 5 reps completed
         - 3rd set failed on 4th rep, re-racked it and did 3 reps again
         - Note: every time I unracked i could feel it in my left hip as glutes were not fully recovered.
 
   Calf raises
      - 2 x 12 @140kg

   Pogo hops
      - 1 x 15 @20kg
      - 2 x 15 @60kg

   Deadlifts
      - 1 x 3 @20kg
      - 1 x 3 @60kg
      - 1 x 3 @100kg
      - 3 x 5 @140kg - tough and glutes too exhausted so not as comfortable as tuesday but still doable.

   Power snatch
      - 1 x 3 @20kg
      - 1 x 3 @40kg
      - 1 x 3 @50kg - weight a little too heavy as I do wide grip it is difficult to hold the weight.

   Bent over dumbbell flys
      - 1 x 3 @4kg dumbbells in each hand
      - 2 x 5 @8kg dumbbells in each hand

   Shoulder press dumbbells
      - 1 x 5 each side @8kg dumbbells in each hand
      - 1 x 5 each side @15kg dumbbells in each hand

   Time ran out

Cool down
   stretch
   walk back

Horrible session, glutes too fatigued from Tuesday for me to get a good workout. This slowed me down and I didn't get to do a proper core and upper body, but I gave priority to lower body rather then cutting sets short.

Soreness: glutes are fatigued and upper back muscle sore

Condition: Got to the gym at 5pm, which is earlier than normal times, so I get 2hrs 15min in the gym. Gym was literally empty with only 1 person, who was just using a mat.

Warm up
   ankle mobility
   calf stretch
   seated hamstring stretch on bench and floor single leg
   quad stretch
   single and double leg glute bridges on bench
   high knee lifts and hold while on balls of foot @8kg kettlebell
   squat stretch
   back stretch

Workout
   Switching jumping lunges
      - 1 x 3 each leg @bw
      - 1 x 3 each leg @7kg dumbbells in each hand
      - 2 x 5 each leg @20kg dumbbells in each hand

   Half Squats
      - 1 x 3 @20kg
      - 1 x 3 @60kg
      - 1 x 3 @100kg
      - 3 x 7 @140kg
      Notes: It was comfortable but my glutes were shaky before the last rep but still managed and gutes fatigued, so will see how thursday goes, if the same then will do the same next week. shouldn't think progress is in the increasing weights but also in getting used to heavy weight till it gets comfortably easy.

   Calf raises
      - 1 x 3 @100kg
      - 2 x 12 @140kg

   Pogo Hops
      - 1 x 15 @20kg
      - 2 x 15 @60kg

   Deadlifts
      - 1 x 3 @20kg
      - 1 x 3 @60kg
      - 1 x 3 @100kg
      - 3 x 3,3 @140kg - comfortably slightly difficult - suprised, doing low reps to ease into the weight. but I should be able to bump it up to 7 reps next time I do it.

   Power snatch
      - 1 x 3 @20kg
      - 1 x 3 @40kg - managed to do it, last part was slight shoulder press
      - 1 x 3 @60kg - failed to get it high, wide grips but also heavy so will have to go up to 50kg

   Shoulder press
      - 1 x 5 @20kg
      - 2 x 5 @35kg - hand injured when i hurt it at college and you shake your hand after you hit it but my hand hit the edge of the metal table when I was shaking my hand and bruised back of my hand.

   leaning dumbbell flys
      - 1 x 3 @4kg dumbbells in each hand
      - 2 x 7 @8kg dumbbells in each hand - did 2 variations normal side and also backward tricep extension but also pushing elbows back.

   Cork screw leg raises
      - 2 x 5 each side

   Lower ab work
      - 2 x 10

   ab roll outs
      - 1 x 12 using barbell

Cool down
   stretch
   walk back

Comment
Good session. squats was comfortable but not enough to proceed to 150kg. Deadlifts were surprisingly comfortable. rest were normal.

Soreness: shins a little, glutes and hamstring/quads

Condition: it was cold, track was wet, one of the starts I did was really low and it felt good but I slipped and stumbled, so even though it felt good low, it probably was too low to get max efficiency.

Warm up
   ankle mobility
   calf walk stretch with weight and without weight
   slight weighted pogo jumps
   leg swings for hamstring
   sitting hamstring stretch - hamstring were tight
   single and double leg glute bridge
   high knee hip holds with 8kg kettlebell - lancests calf stretch
   cable leg pawing with 20kg weight cable

Workout
   A walk x 2 x 10m - red and green band
   A skip x 2 x 20m (its more of a rapid switch and hop twice on each leg) x green band
   A run x 2 x 30m - green band
   Alternating double high knee x 2 x 30m
   A sprint starts 1 and 2 steps
   
   10m sprints x 2 - green band
   10m sprints x 1 - without band
   30m sprints x 2 - red band
   30m sprints x 2 - without band
   50m sprints x 1 - slow run from the finish 150m - to make 200m

   leaning alternating knee drills med speed - green and red band - 10 each leg
   leg cycle - green and red band - 2 x 10 each leg

Cool down
   stretch
   walk back
   ab rollout 1 x 10 at home - abs painful when doing them

Comment
It was not a good session, it was cold, the runs felt ok but not explosive, not effect after the bands only you can lift knees high with little effort which you can't feel in your runs, so I guess the runs shouldn't feel much different after the bands are removed. Wet track all day and i'm starting to think that maybe it will effect my sprint start form.

Soreness: upper back a little, glutes fatigued but not that sore

Condition: Raining all night and got to the gym at 5:15 pm later then I would have liked. Biceps were sore at the beginning after doing the jumping lunges holding the weight. Also squats were not comfortable just moderately difficult maybe because I did core work yesterday ab rollout, which hurt my abs like crazy on the first rep so maybe that led to fatigue core and therefore couldn't use it in my squats when i breath and tighten my core.

Comment
I wasn't feeling that strong, slightly a little weaker. Squats were a little difficult but not too difficult to finish but last rep is always most difficult but not grinding difficult. the rest were good too. I also do jumps after every heavy squats with some rest before and they feel good obviously and it helps improve my verts. But today didn't feel bouncy in my jumps.

thanks for not spoiling that. :highfive: that was crazy.

man wilder is nuts. you can outbox him all night but if you slip up for a second you can go lights out.

No problem. That was my main aim. Just post the video.
If I watch a great fight and my adrenaline is pumping, I will probably spoil it but in it in boxing news thread, so you know where to stay away from, but will post the video in this section, so you know where to go if you didn't watch it.

Soreness: glutes sore a little

Condition: Rain, rain and more rain. It was raining when I got there and it was gradually getting faster as the training proceeded. Got to the gym at 10:45am and finished at 1pm.

Warm up
   ankle mobility
   calf stretch
   calf stretch walks with and without weight of 8kg kettlebells in each hand
   hamstring stretch sitting and swinging
   quad stretch bench and walking
   single and double leg glute bridges
   leaning knee drive hold and reps x 5 @30kg - wanted to do something light
   leg cycle with the paw back loaded using cable - need to find a name for this - resisted paw backs i guess
   back stretch

Track workout
   Band workout
      - 2 x A walks with red and green band
      - 1 x A skips green band only
      - 2 x A runs with green band
      - 1 x alternating high knee x 2 drills - so basically do high knee twice then alternate but accidentally did 3 times, felt awkward as it was ruining my mental method of doing once but managed at the end. need to remember to do 2 only.
 
   Sprint starts to 1 step x 2 - without band and forgot to do 2 steps

   10m sprints with green band x 2
   10m sprints without band x 1
   
   30m sprints with red band x 2
   30m sprints without band x 2

   50m sprints without band x 1
   200m sprints without band x 1 - decided to do this from the 100m start line and then finish at the end of the curve, started at 60% effort as I only rested 2 minutes after the last run and was still a little tired but I just wanted to do a 200m run and time was running out, so did 60% at the start and was gradually increasing till I got in the bend I accelerated with 85% effort. so started at 60% finished the 100m at 70% and then ran the bend faster at 85%. glutes get a good workout. feel the burn.

   went inside gym
   
   standing fast alternating high knee - sprinting on the spot with green and red band x 2

   on all 4's and kick one leg back with red and green band x 2

   some jumps

Cool down
   stretch
   walk back

Comment
Besides the rain sidelining any explosive elements to my run, the runs felt good, i like the snap back of the bands when running and when i run without it legs are slower in snapping back but when I put effort into driving leg into ground then it feels better but no where near band snap back. time ran out and still rained and I finished.

      - 1 x 3 @100kg - with jump at top of squat

Comment
it was a good session, got some good lifts, hopefully sore lower back is not due to the jump in the half squat or the pogo hops, just fatigue from deadlifts, which was easy with slight lift of hip first but after both chest and hips coming up together.

Thursday 21st November 2019

Don't know WTH happened to my right ankle while I was sleeping, but the whole joint is inflamed and stiff like I had sprained it!
Maybe I overstretched something in there yesterday - the wall tib raise, ATG split squat and my squat ankle mobility drill do stress the ROM hard
The walk helped, but hopefully it feels good enough to BBall tomorrow - got my Blacknet device, and so keen to try it out...

The usual amount aches post workout day, but much less in my hammie adductor area.
Not particularly drained either.


dry fasted

----

65 min walk/hike

mid way through walk
backward walking up a 20-30 degree sloped path x 2+ mins

stretches

---

16 hours dry fasted, before drinking and then 4 more hrrus of fasting
2600+ calorie burn

plan to eat 1200-1400 calories

I do get that sometimes when I wake up to. I have had a history of a lot of bad ankle sprains, the worst one when my brother jumped on the outside of my ankle and ankle rolled inwards and a lot of time when I am on the balls of my feet like doing calf raises my ankle with bad history sometimes rolls outwards and almost twist it but it's probably flexible enough to go a certain amount without hurting and I quickly bring it back. But when I do wake up the muscle below my right ankle (the one with bad history) gets sore sometimes when i put slight pressure but on it, but goes away after i walk around and get back to normal routine.

hopefully it's nothing too bad
