Cold showers are the shit. I take one every day, sometimes up to 3x a day. Dunno about effects on T but it's a good controlled way to work on your willpower and get accustomed to forcing yourself to deal with discomfort.

Floyd tried to bet $400,000 that he would win the fight in the Middle of the 10th round by knockout.
morning:
- warm up
- jump rope continuously x 10 mins
went to bed early last night and got up early this morning. meant to do more but (1) i'm not coordinated enough in the morning to do double unders, apparently; (2) got a work call while i was warming up that cut into the time i had.
i like morning work outs, even if it's just a warm up like this. moar.
Yeah morning workouts are weird. I remember waking up, showering and immediately going for a 30 min jog and just feeling like I was dying despite pretty easy pace.
I think it takes a little bit of time for your body to get into efficient fuel burning. Glycogen converted into fat overnight or somehow unavailable for immediate use the next morning? One of my buddies who's a bodybuilding trainer told me not to hit the protein in the morning because the body can't process it very well but to focus on carbs and then protein load later on. It would make sense if cells need to be carbed up to process protein or something..
Anyway morning workouts are cool. Start the day off strong and it frequently becomes productive all the way through.

Morning BW: 78.5kg
Rest day today. [lol nvm]
Workout
Breathing ladder (i.e. only breath through nose, break between sets is time it takes to make equal number of nose breaths to the reps done]
Kettlebell swing @ 16kg for 1-20-1 - 39:30
Benchmark set. Will get better control of breathing + also need kinda stronger p-chain, or p-chain endurance, for this. 400 total reps.
So this season's training moto will be.... "quantity over quality" !!!![]()
![]()
Now as you all know this is an obvious lie from my side. There is no way i would compromise quality. What i really mean is that it is consistency i need to hit. I can AREG volume, intensity frequency etc without even writing them down. It is not the programming that holds me back, it is the consistency. I want to try and work out every single day i can. Not all weights, i want to substitute my off days with cardio/abs/stretching sessions. Also, most important, minimize the losses when work&life attacks. Try to save whatever i can. I am at a very good place now, somewhat strong, somewhat lean, definitely fresh. A great base to build on. If this works as planned i could achieve good things. No promises, but that's the plan.
I love doing something every day, even if it's just walking. Though, I don't like being "addicted". So having to workout HARD every day is something I definitely don't enjoy anymore - light days feel great. When I was lifting for dunking, I loved doing something every day too, even if it was just plate swings/bodyweight, walking, light sprints, or one work up set of squats.Quote- "13.9 % body fat" according to my scale - probably pretty accurate .. I don't look at all as lean as my ~145 lb physique from my rested max squat video:
Really, if you are at 13.9% BF I must be around 55% BF.... in my videos/pics one can't even see my neck, it is surrounded by fat, my chin and jaws don't even exist.
8/26
PM1: starts, 40Y sprints ME, 40Y conditioning
warmup
starts x 5, 5 alternating lead legs
40Y sprints x10 (full recovery: technique work)
40Y sprints x5,5,6 (jog back recovery, 90-95% intensity - actually not that tired despite pretty intense runs, might cut rest intervals and make this a more frequent thing)
nice @ those 40's with jog back recovery! did they fall off much? or didn't time them?
imho, with something like that, go hard but also stay relaxed .. really focusing on not tightening up. sounds like you were probably doing that.QuotePM2: throws, DLRVJ
casual throwing with non-frisbee friend x 1 hr (more talking than throwing)
20 mins hucks at goal
basketball shooting x 100
DLRVJ dunk attempts x~25: consistent dunks off "1-step" DLRVJ, trying and failing to get a full cockback tomahawk off 3-4 steps - putting me at 34"ish? pretty average for me
damn nice. 1-step dlrvj dunks are pretty dope.. especially if you can tomahawk it.
Honestly it felt like they didn't fall off at all. T0ddday advice a while ago was to not time them so as not to interfere with mechanics.
"Stay relaxed".. That's a good cue, not sure if I tighten up when I run, I'll try to be on the lookout for that next time. I definitely try to micromanage my strides when I go into more upright/top speed form, because if I don't I tend to drag my feet and not cycle efficiently.
I did get a few tomahawks but not with the full elbow flexion like I wanted.
)
A lot of reactions as expected, the ones who complained I laugh at them that they got fooled into the promotion of the fight thinking it was going to be close lol.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5LWRvdHUck
Oh yeah and I forgot miguel cotto just blasted through kamegai, power punching and will retire after this fight. a legend in boxing.
Both have good point.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMbaDcKmzgo
I will watch it again and look at it round by round. Mcregor may not have been knocked out in his previous matches even though wobbled but if you are gassed out then the odds have increased by nearly double.
Note: watching while I am typing here. Anthem has finished. Connor mcgregor team outfit, looking like old day gangsters lol.
ref seems to be only looking at mcregor when giving instructions.
Round 1:
Mcgregor on the attack, hands awkwardly in front and above, but he is looking good with the jabs and mayweather with the shell. Mcgregor a bit hesitant a few minutes on and pressure is gone. Mayweather just doing nothing and when he tries to come it gets hit. mcgregor show off does nothing. I don't understand mcgregor keeping hands stretched out but nice uppercut. Mcrgegor tired a little. But round to mcgregor as mayweather did little to none. Uppercut did little damage but still landed.
Conor: 10-9
Round 2:
mcregor somehow lost is composure as a boxer when trying to put pressure, like awkwardness and just uncomfortable. lol at the hammer fist like he did against paulie, didn't expect him to do that. mcgregor switching and landing some and suprisingly knows some combos. But mayweather just making one two shots. what is with mcgregor holding mayweather from behind does this a lot.
Conor: 10-9
Round 3:
lol at the pressure and jabs but then going to the hammer fists lol. omg again. floyd with the occasional body shots. tiring mcgregor. but they seem to be grabbing and tangling a lot. mcregor somehow can't stop hammering. mcgregor has good jab and good reach. but mayweather continuing with his pot shots to body, head.
Conor 10 - 9
Round 4:
Mcgregor tired. mcgregor going to the body and putting pressure nicely suprisingly then the hammer fists. mcgregor landing some and now mayweather starting to put the pressure now, landing and moving. mcgregor breathing through his mouth. damn the body shots from mayweather. light jabs from mcgregor but does nothing.
nice mayweather lean back and make opponent miss then come back and shoot.
Mayweather 10-9 (close)
Round 5:
lol at mcgregor working at angles but he seems to run from one side to other. tired and landing low power shots. mayweather fainted nicely to see how connor would react. mcregor tangling up a lot now. mayweather still looking fresh compared to mcgregor. lol at the push by mayweather then retaliation by the ref. His team are not giving good gameplan or anything.
Mayweather 10-9 (close)
Round 6:
connor no more pressure, don't know why floyd turning his back. but mayweather on the offense now and cos mcgregor is tired floyd not letting him think and now mayweather just killing mcgregor on the attack powerful right hand. mcregor tired and using jab and relying on counter as too tired to go on attack. wow looking at the slow motion mcgregor landed some jobs weak nevertheless but accurately even when mayweather ducking and weaving.
Mayweather 10-9
Round 7:
mcgregor light jabs here and there. tangling up again. mcgregor against tying him up. dam the pressure from mayweather walking mcgregor down hitting him right infront straight right all over the place.. mayweather just landing at will on the face and mcgregor don't know what to do. no more power from mcgregor. poor mcgregor looking tired and clueless lol.
Mayweather 10-9
Mayweather just eat mcgregors hits which does nothing and comes with a straight right of his own and knock mcgregors head back.
Round 8:
Mcrgegor ineffective and mayweather turns his back. paulie defends that it's mcrgegor turning. def mayweather turning his back and just staying there. some good jabs from mcgregor by mayweather hits power and accuracy. and mcgregor just too tired. mayweather is putting pressure on mcgregor who is too tired to think. that's what good about mayweather he is smart when putting pressure. upper cut followed by right hand and then just walking mcgregor down. what is with showtime saying its close, it's not close, mcgregor no pressure and any power in his jab and mayweather just forcing the pace and putting smart pressure.
Mayweather 10-9
Round 9:
damn mcgregor putting the pressureo on mayweather and lol when ref stops it mcgregor stil hitting mayweather. but mcgregor got something. mayweather now on the offense seeing a lot of hooks. damn the combos from mayweather and that sharp uppercut from mayweather. damn mcgregor very tired. conor legs no control. mayweather just giving it to mcgregor lol. no response so mcgregor has to hold. oh my mcgregor just full out of it. mayweather just finishing him.
Mayweather 10-9 possible even 10-8
lol mcgregor team saying his def tired so in round 10 just tie him up, nice advice lol.
Round 10:
mcgregor just trying to touch him with jabs and tie him up. omg mcrgegor just a standing hitting bag and just almost falls. mayweatherr just beating him up and just hitting him all over the place. good stoppage.
My Score: 87-83
Comments: It was a good fight, I enjoyed seeing mayweather put the pressure, mcgregor showed good boxing skills but not enough endurance to withstand it and lacks boxing smarts.
Post fight interview:
mcregor just crazy thinking to allow the ref to let him continue until he drops. he says it was just fatigue lol this is boxing my friend then he says that he is always like this fatigued and 'flowy' lol. This was the biggest cons against mcgregor's chances of winning was he hasn't done 12 hard rounds with 1 min rest. good gameplan from from mayweather to let mcgregor try and tire himself then mcgregor goes in the for the attack. I would have loved to see this type of offence with pacquiao but that would be mayweather's funeral. lol at jim gray's question: did he look tired to you.
I wonder what mayweather was looking at above.
Undercards: gervonta davis was better than expect as in his last fight he was just a lot nervous and didn't fight that good but now he was powerful even though the last knockout winning punch was to the back of the head. but I would like to see him in a tough fight.
But good fight, good attempt from mcgregor but his inexperience was the downside. But atleast he chose a good way to end his career making it exciting even though it was against an unexperience fighter, but better than berto, even though berto better than mcgregor that fight was boring. Def not returning to boxing, he would not last against any boxer.
