wanted to do 3 miles light on tarmac, then 4 miles light on grass .. settled for (2,3). Focused on posture alot. Lots of forefoot striking mixed into my normal midfoot.. The taller my posture gets, the more I seem to shift to forefoot striking.

light workout again tonight.

Deontay wilder just runs all over bermane stiverne, complete wreckage and domination by wilder. Wilder controlling with powerful jabs disturbing bermane's rhythm. Bermane I think landed around 1 or 2.

savage af.. damn.. destroyed him.

Kipsang lost by like 2s .. awesome finish. Kamworor had a big gap on him, and Kipsang slowly closed it in the last mile, and was very close to pulling it off at the end.

Kamworor pulling away .. he's Kipchoge's training partner, he's a beast from all accounts. Kipsang trying to catch back up to him.

Shalane Flanagan just shocked the marathon world .. I mean she finished #2 in NY in 2010 or so, but hasn't competed in one for quite some time.. And she just beat Keitany impressively.

Incredible.

That's two major marathons won by Americans in a row.

The men's race is going strong. Kipsang/Kamworor/Desisa and one other battling it out.

For discussion: easier to change plants or change hands?

plant probably, but not easier to jump as high when changing your plant - I think actually doing it doesn't feel that bad though for most people, so initially they may go "I can do this!!" then months later you see they still can't get up in that plant

Changing hands is easier from the perspective of actually landing dunks, if the vert is the same.

If you look at it from the perspective of someone short with a low reach, who needs a serious vert to dunk, changing hands seems 1000x easier than changing plant, in my humble opinion.

peace!!



If you HAVE to change something, change the dunking hand, seemed easier to me and helped sooo much. Left hand is so much better/natural for LR plant. T0ddday took this advice and found it very helpful too. But take it with a grain of salt, i am a little bit ambidextrous so it came rather easy to me to dunk left-handed.

yup, I tried getting good with my left, but didn't try hard enough. I had some really solid misses with my left - had they gone down it would have been amazing. But I could never really land one of those.. to top it off, i'm a natural lefty. I broke my left arm at ~age 6 or so, and became righty .. so I still write/eat/brush my teeth/etc lefty, but everything sports related is righty. So changing hands for dunking should have been even easier for me, but it wasn't, because I was just so locked in to that LR-R power dunk.. it definitely gave me "more room in the air" to land a serious dunk, due to how we basically twist counter clockwise with the LR plant and rotate right into that left arm... but still couldn't pull it off properly.

For an "elite level" LR-R dunker, Golden Child was LR-R if i'm not mistaken.



fwiw, this is one of my best lefty attempts. you can just see I have so much "room", looks way different than my RH attempts:

http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/adarq%27s-journal/msg41378/#msg41378 (lmao :ninja:)



it's funny, I remember so many of my dunk sessions & various dunks.. so much adrenaline, permanent memories. lmao.
