Mayweather vs mcgregor smashes the may-pac ppv by 2 million ppv buys. I have mixed emotions about this, disappointing to see that a fight lopsided/onesided like this would generate that many interest but then I realize that it's not a boxing match it's a fight which we all know mayweather would win, so it's more of a exhibition, wwe wrestlemania, circus show fight to entertain the people rather than the best fight the best and therefore you attract non boxing fans because it's a theatrical fight on mayweather's part and then a chance for mcgregor to try and upset it.

So it is what it is a theatrical exhibition fight to entertain the masses.

i dno.. that's to be expected.

floyd / pac = boxing fans + casual fans

floyd / conor = boxing fans + mma fans + casual fans + WWE fans

so I just think the pool of potential buys is waaaaay bigger for floyd/conor, so it's expected that they sold more.. not surprising to me. Also I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing because of the fact that you're bringing in fans from all sides.

Yeah a historical leaderboard would be nice, that way we know where everyone is/was at, that way we know where their journals took them and how they progressed.

cool! will post stats later .. I imagine once we get this going people will start posting stats. I'll also dig up some old stats eventually of people who aren't active anymore.

a historical progress tracker is like the "progress tracker" (that I was also coding into the new forum FML) for one person but across the whole forum.

dno, could be useful.

bw = 154
soreness = calves alot (right especially)



jump rope:
- 11 AM
- 1 hour straight, several mess ups (~20+)
- avg HR: 147
- max HR: 169
- lost 4 lb water, drenched
- right calf sore during the session, hard to do single leg hops .. knew this going in, but wanted to work it out
- don't think i've done that since boxing .. i used to be able to get through an hour non-stop with only ~2 or so messups, when i boxed.. lmao. Also had a different rope though, not as fast as this rope.. so might not be that bad.
- felt pretty good .. mostly relaxed .. if i felt shoulders tightening, tried to loosen back up, did a decent job of it.
- after some mess ups, took my time to get back into it, so like maybe ~30s or so to reset and loosen up my shoulders before getting back at it.
- legs felt fine, no prob

- 4:30 PM
- ng pullups: 7 normal + 5 dead hang

AWESOME MATCH BETWEEN FEDERER & TIAFOE!!!

still going as I type this. 5th set, tiafoe just broke back to get on serve now it's 4/5 Federer with Tiafoe serving.

12/29/2017

bw = 154
soreness = calves alot (right especially), quads moderate
aches/injuries = big toe blister drained out completely

set my alarm for 8 AM, but slept in until 11 AM :/ really needed it though .. absolutely dead today. Also took a 2 hour nap from 4 PM - 6 PM.

evening walk:
- ~2 hours
- 8.4 miles in 2 hours
- calves so tight early on, eased up a bit throughout





did a ton of soleus stretching last night and today .. feels so good when i'm doing it and definitely loosens up my soleus, but also makes them more sore as time goes by.

right soleus is WAY tighter than left.




ps: watching federer / tiafoe, awesome match. 40/40 5/3 5th set for federer at the time of this post
