sore but body feels fueled up.


09/17/2017

bw = 151
- ate a ton / drank a ton of sprite, so very happy that this was my very-fueled-up-weight!  :wowthatwasnutswtf:
soreness = quads slightly, hamstrings moderate, tibs/peroneals moderate
aches/injuries = none
morning quad flexibility = loose
morning hamstring flexibility = stiff
feel = good but tired

wakeup = 9 AM
- slept in koz went to sleep late


diet:
- 9:30 AM: some coconut water
- 10 AM: workout: ~1 km repeats + bw
- 11:30 AM: water + protein, green tea
- 2 PM: 2 x one eyed jack's using (san francisco sour dough bread, large free-range brown eggs), overly sauteed avocado, black tea
-- so good
- 6 PM: water w/ lemon
- 7 PM: workout: speed
- 8:30 PM: water + protein
- 9:30 PM: 3 x fried bananas in olive oil/salt
-- so good

bruh.





stretch:
- 4:30 PM: everything



relaxed 1050m walk back recovery: 3:59, 3:46, 3:43
- 10 AM
- felt crazy fast .. fueling up last night contributed to that
- those last two intervals are ~5:4x pace

damn. hamstrings sore, but felt great. ate alot last night for the Canelo/GGG fight, so I was properly fueled this morning. These were "moderate efforts" but very relaxed. Last ~km could have been significantly faster, noticed my form was breaking down 3/4ths into the run then fixed it. Once I fixed it during the run, I kept looking at my watch and my pace improved immediately. That's good to know.

The form break down was, a "roll from heel to toe", which is more of a slower strike for me. Once I made some adjustments and got back to a "flat foot strike" (quicker GCT), I got faster & it felt more effortless.

Most of the runs i've been doing recently aren't "properly fueled". This is intended, as i'm trying to lean up to the max. So fueling up makes me feel ridiculously stronger.

Plus it's hot af out.. This workout is a good sign IMHO.



bw:
- 11 AM
- ng pullups: BW x 10 @ 8 + 2 dead hang
- full dips: BW x 10 @ 9 + 1 hang
- standing single leg raises: x 20
- standing single leg abductions: x 20



calves/tibs+peroneals/hamstrings sore/tight.



speed work: sidewalk speed - full recovery: ~320m (53.7), ~290m (48.7), ~240m (43.1), ~210m (36.7), 6 x ~177m (30.5, 30.7, 30.0, 28.8, 28.2, 26.4

felt pretty fast tonight!

everything with relaxed acceleration build up, except for the last ~175m where I hit 26.4s (~4:08 min/mi pace). All of the intervals were basically low 4 min/mi pace with running form not sprinting form (like usual), that was the goal. Keep hammering that pace so my body gets more used to it and can produce it more easily.

TBH, i'd like to be able to produce sub 4 min/mi paces easier. Almost seems mental.. like how is 4 min/mi the barrier for me, why not 3:50 or 3:55? Almost seems like my brain is playing tricks on me.









Going to try a new style of progress tracker: monthly, embedded into my journal posts. Obviously this should be something fancy/amazing by now but, will make do with this. Also, going to go "across" rather than down, so it all fits into one small block.

TBH, I really like this so far.. even though I only have a few data points thus far. :D

mo dropping lots of nice videos, love it.

also mo's hamstrings look tight.. but he also looks loose most everywhere else. i'm similar, but less loose in the hips. So my quads are loose & hamstrings tight, like him.

Boxing / Re: Gennady Golovkin vs Saul Canelo Alvarez
« on: September 17, 2017, 03:59:53 pm »
something I posted in a t-nation thread:

Well that was a lovely scrap.... What a sick fight.

I came away with different take-aways than some of the posts in this thread:
- Canelo's boxing skill is superior to GGG's. He was slipping GGG's punches all night, making him miss by a mile on many occasions. His counters were so sharp. He had GGG frozen for a good portion of the fight, GGG just couldn't unleash his power because he was missing too much & was cautious about what was coming back.
- Canelo's body work is absolutely beautiful. GGG abandoned his body work, for the most part.
- Canelo was way too tight in this fight. He looked nervous from the onset. He was shaking his arms throughout the fight, just didn't look settled. Even with all that, he somehow was able to slip & counter beautifully. GGG looked so relaxed and confident from the onset.
- Canelo's "Floyd Impersonation" probably tired him out even more-so. Just way too much backward movement, dancing around the ring. That's not his style, and I don't think it served his stamina well in this fight.
- GGG's heart is incredible. Towards the end of the fight, between rounds, man was he sucking wind. He looked absolutely trashed in the corner. But once the bell rings, he just comes forward in terminator mode and pushes through it. He didn't let his foot off of the gas, even while being very visibly fatigued.
- GGG's power is incredible, but Canelo can take it. Canelo's power is solid, and GGG can take it as expected.
- In the rematch, GGG won't be able to make as much adjustments as Canelo. This is why, for the rematch, I personally feel more confident that Canelo will win a decisive decision, as long as Canelo stands his ground more and comes in with more confidence. If Canelo has stamina issues throughout the entire fight, GGG will win "again".
- GGG definitely won that fight, but not by much. I can see how that could be called a draw, but 118-110 for EITHER fighter is an absolute disgrace. That fight was very close. I personally had GGG winning 116-112 but that could have easily been 115-113, which again is close to draw status.

I've seen some highlight videos posted so far, and in my opinion, Canelo has the majority of the highlights: slips, counters, combos, movement, all in Canelo's favor. His boxing is so damn sharp it's really impressive. GGG is a true warrior with freak power, but he's like an "old dog" at this point. I don't see him acquiring some of these nuanced skills like Canelo has done over the years. Canelo adopted TOO MUCH of a "Floyd style" in this fight.

IMHO, If Canelo stands his ground more in the rematch, I think he can really school GGG. When Canelo did stand his ground, he got the better of the exchanges. I have no problem with him backing up, but he needs to do it more "controlled" and waste less energy moving back explosively. He also needs to do less of it in general, and just stand in the pocket slipping & countering which he proved he can do against GGG.  If he makes those adjustments, which I think he will because he's that caliber of fighter, the rematch should go his way.

Also if anyone remembers, he stood between rounds in his last (few?) fights. I think he's been trying to improve/address some stamina issues in anticipation of a fight like this. IMHO, he was struggling for most of the fight. To me, you could see him trying to relax, but he just couldn't relax on the level he wanted. I think confidence and nerves could have alot to do with it, or maybe it has more to do with the weight gain, since he looked alot more relaxed when he fought at true welter. This is something they need to try and fix, fast. I don't think it's as simple as more road work/conditioning, there's some other stuff going on there. I mean he's been in so many 12 round fights, massive title fights, etc - at this point he should look way more comfortable throughout the first 3 quarters of a fight like this. The "arm shaking" is a big sign to me.. You don't do it as much as he did it, if you're not feeling very tight. He did lots of subtle shaking of his arms, and some overt ones as well. As a counter example, I can't even think of the last time I saw Floyd shake his arms in a fight.. Floyd's 12 round stamina is absolute god-mode. But Floyd ALWAYS fights his own fight. He doesn't switch it up like Canelo did, and fight with a different style. He just goes out and does exactly what he always does, and he's completely comfortable doing it, no matter the work rate of his opponent.

Anyway, SICK FIGHT.

peace

what a fight.  :headbang: :wowthatwasnutswtf:

I can actually see it being a draw. but 118-110 for either fighter is just way off, 114-114 could be possible, alot of those rounds were very close.

I had GGG, 116-112 or 115-113 .. it was real close IMHO. Besides that, if we re-watch just the "highlights", I imagine Canelo will look more impressive. He was slipping and countering hard, all night. He looked really good.

Canelo looked tight pretty much the entire fight, surprised he could even stand up in the last few rounds. He moved way too much, that's not normal for him. By the end he was really gassed. Pretty much the entire fight he was shaking his arms out. So given all of that, incredible how effective he was against GGG with his counters and slips. He should have stood his ground more; he did great when he just stayed in there and didn't back up, he's got much better boxing skills.

I think Canelo wins the rematch .. I don't see GGG improving much in the second fight. I do see Canelo standing his ground more and outboxing GGG toe-to-toe. He just needs to watch the fight himself and he'll realize, he doesn't need to move as much & tire himself out adopting a style he's not comfortable with.

I personally was not too impressed with GGG. I thought Canelo neutralized him really well. GGG rarely could throw his power, he missed Canelo by a wide margin, so many times. I was impressed with GGG's heart though, honestly at the end of the fight he looked even more gassed than Canelo but he just guts through it and keeps coming forward. In the corner he was sucking so much wind, looked wrecked.. but man so much heart to just battle through all of that and keep coming at Canelo non-stop.

After watching it, i'm more confident that Canelo wins in the second fight, than I was that he'd win in the first.

w/r/t avishek mode: cool as long as you don't suddenly start making posts where you body-shame women. checked his instagram, was super disappointed to see all that bullshit on there. it's possible to make a point about the negative effects of unrealistic body expectations in media in general and bodybuilding media in particular without putting "FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL" over a before-and-after pic of a woman you don't know, and then talking about how you're more attracted to the before version.

fuck that.

ya when i speak of avishek mode it definitely doesn't include any of that... heh.

i mostly ignore those (female) body image posts of his, that stuff is lame .. kinda called him out on it in one of his recent posts.
