Mo farah will be running the 5000m which will include the champion Edris in it and chilemo I think and alot of the same people in the 5000m race in london 2017.
If mo wants revenge this is the race to do it.

WOW  :ibrunning: :wowthatwasnutswtf:

did you see that finish? Incredible.. Also i'm surprised that isn't grounds for disqualification for Chelimo, that's just crazy .. I mean he's only thinking about winning at that point & he feels like he's on the verge of death probably, so it's somewhat understandable.

will link that last lap when they post it, that was nuts.

Mo.

I dunno, maybe I should leave this forum, not many vertical jump guys are even here anymore ...... you don't train for vert, lbss doesn't anymore, raptor is gone, chrism isn't here too much, entropy is doing a lot of overall strength.....

it's down to myself, scooby, and maybe seif and fp that actually train specifically for vert/speed......

I still very much train for vertical, and I will race you to a pre-determined % increase on your initial vertical jump if you want (mine is 30-31'' atm). This is literally the last offer you will get here as you've somehow managed to piss off the most tolerant and good-natured moderator on the internet. Like I said before, no hard feelings on my part, and I think you need motivation to stop you getting distracted and melting down all over everyone's favourite forum.

I think you really struggle with the perception that you got stuck with a dud genetic mix - this is evident from your numerous posts about PEDs, athletes wasting talent etc. If you leave that behind and focus on becoming KF-like (which you are sort of doing), you'll make great gains. You need to trim a ton of fat, get your posture right, start doing athletic movements (avoiding jumping is not the best thing for you, you need co-ordination and RFD. Tempo sprints would be dynamite for you right now) and generally stop complaining/trolling all over the forum. Despite what you think, you can only train on anger for so long before you get burnt out. Better to feed off the positive energy of your gains as they come in. My 2c, possibly the last you'll get.

Just good points in general.  :headbang:

"I think you really struggle with the perception that you got stuck with a dud genetic mix - this is evident from your numerous posts about PEDs, athletes wasting talent etc."

^ The genetic dud mentality is toxic, we've seen this attitude alot. If someone finds themselves doing it: acknowledge it & try hard to purge it from the brain. I've had thoughts like that, anyone can get them, but they are most often more destructive than constructive & should be acknowledged as such.

The mental game of improving athletically is very important; this is one of many components someone may need to address in order to avoid sabotaging themselves.



"Despite what you think, you can only train on anger for so long before you get burnt out. Better to feed off the positive energy of your gains as they come in."

^ Gold.

I know alot about anger training. I've used it quite successfully for long periods of time (years), but like acole said, it *never* lasts. When you use anger as fuel, it burns strong for a while. But once that anger is gone, you find yourself completely lost. It's very hard to re-establish a new motivation as fuel once that happens, instead it almost seems like one needs a long period to "reset", while utilizing some kind of maintenance work to avoid detraining completely.

No I don't smoke ecigs anymore, quit for a few months.

I didn't know it was arrogant to call out someone that is totally disrespecting the league with his behavior and the NY bball organization, known as the "mecca of bball"

adios!

interesting .. you have problems with Joakim disrespecting the league, but no problem disrespecting athletes when they fail to live up to your expectations, no problem disrespecting people personally on this forum - in addition, without facts which makes it even worse, no problem disrespecting the forum in general.

some introspection is severely needed...

your arrogance seems toxic to your improvement & ability to get along with others.

and if adios means "goodbye forever" or something like that, then i guess good riddance.

but go on, let's applaud him for being a class act athlete.  :highfive:  If i was the owner of a bball organization and was paying a guy 17,000,000+ a year to be a solid bball player, id at least hope he puts more dedication to getting better than living the fast life.....

but you're not.. sounds like you spend alot of your time degrading others & not looking inward, improving yourself.

to use your analogy above: you're basically the garbage bin of this forum.

but hey, let's applaud you for creating shit posts all day & proving the neg button works.


and hold up.. don't you fucking smoke cigs and e-cigs/vape? wtf?

arrogant as fuck.

maybe you were onto something in that other post I just replied to .. go away.

Filled in for the ball team last night. Caught a bounce pass about 5 mins in and the ball felt like it had an egg in it. I stopped and looked at the ball. No problems there. Put my hand back on it and felt the same thing again. Passed the ball off and it was only then that I noticed the first knuckle on my finger had dropped. Two hospital visits and an x-ray later and I have ruptured the extensor tendon on the right hand ring finger. Now I've got 8+ weeks in a splint to look forward to. I have that FML feeling going on but this presents some opportunities to work on things I wouldn't normally work on so there's always that.

damn.. ya it looked bad from that photo you posted earlier. surprised you didn't know what it was when it happened, sounds pretty serious.

that's some unfortunate news man. :/

heal up man.

hehe, keep the negs coming, more fuel to reach 40 svj!

might as well just ban you then and get it over with? that'll give you enough fuel to reach 40" SVJ, no?

if every time I refresh the forum I have to see you neg bombed or some ridiculous thread like the "natty sprinter thread" or the joakim thread, might as well just get it over with right now. The fact that you seem to enjoy getting negged is annoying.

maybe just create a FDL's random thoughts thread and put everything in there from now on? then, as your random thoughts start to improve and showcase more forethought, slowly progress back to creating threads?

-- MANAGEMENT.

ffs.

It's not my fault you guys don't see how ridiculous joakim noah is. His FT % has gone from 65 to 60, 55, 50, low 40s as his career progressed and you guys are sticking up for him.... posting dumb videos to prove that "oh everyone airballs sometime" .... no everyone does not airball freethrows to the direct left or right of the basket lol, that has never happened in nba history except with noah recently in his career..... people have airballed it short but not to the direct left or right of the hoop....

i mean a lot of sprinters have been suspected of using ped's, most of usain bolt's teammates, tyson gay, gatlin, etc.... i dunno ban me or just tell me i don't want u on my site, either one will work

apparently you want me to do something .. which is interesting, because that's what i've been doing. I've been giving you suggestions. maybe you have it in your head that we all just don't want you here at all, but somehow we're letting you stick around?

so, since you requested me to tell you something, here it is, one last time:

stop being so thoughtless. stop creating such shit threads. stop creating thoughtless shit threads. stop creating threads with insulting titles. stop making thoughtless antagonistic replies. stop basking in your negs.

It's really so simple.

Finally, the title of your Joakim thread is pathetic. It's just incredibly arrogant. I mean that cardio dribbling video you posted wasn't in the least bit impressive, and here you are calling some professional athlete a douche bag. The arrogance in combination with such a soft foundation is just ridiculous.

Anyway, very tired of addressing it. Being respectful & intelligent on a forum is easy. Figure it out please, fast.

Thanks

bw = 156
soreness = right calf slightly (NICE!! not too bad), left PF barely, glutes slightly
-- nice!
-- edit: hamstrings, glutes, and quads especially got pretty sore as the day went on, right calf moderate, left PF slightly
aches/injuries = none
-- nice!

walk:
- ~8:30 AM - ~11 AM
- moderate intensity walk with dead legs
- pretty good pace considering .. legs definitely dead, no pop, but still basically everything over 4 mph
- lost 6 lb water like usual for 9 miles



bw right after:
- ng pullups: BW x 11
-- nice
- full dips: BW x 10



after the walk, had oranges, grape fruit, coconut water, protein/milk, and watermelon juice.. solid af.



edit: ate a ton .. feel wrecked.



so that was the last workout for today & tmw.. tmw = complete rest. Actually about to go to an Argentinean steakhouse and get a skirt steak I think.

plan for fri/sat/sun:
fri: AM: very high volume stepups, PM: light walk
sat: AM: light walk, PM: track
sun: AM: very high volume stepups, PM: light walk
mon: rest
tues: AM: very light walk, PM: track

i want to push the stepups for a few days and see what happens on the following track days.



tentative schedule that will surely change.  :trollface:

i have tons of fractures and complete breaks, worst one my wrist, in basketball.. i gave up contact sports completely after boxing, and prior to that i gave up basketball because of the injuries. i'm Mr Glass.

Wow, that's pretty bad, did you get good nutrition and stretch ankles, hamstrings, etc before those times you play contact sports?

nutrition growing up wasn't too good i imagine.. drank tons of milk though. several broken fingers, broken wrist, torn calf (someone knee'd it when i was going up for a layup), only one sprained ankle. my ankles have always been really strong.. most of my teammates/friends had several severe sprains.

Quote
I used to sprain my ankle a lot and the worst is when you sprain a tendon, cause it takes months and months to fully heal..... but after I started to stretch my ankles religiously, i could almost land on someone's foot and be reactive enough to not let it tear anything by straightening out my ankle.

damn. stretching them too much can actually cause more problems though. so you're lucky you didn't hurt em more, pretty cool if it helped though.

here's the most simple solution to this "story". anyone (FDL) who thinks it's easy to improve freethrows/shooting percentage, do this:

1. train the ability to shoot with your off hand
2. once you get proficient, report back
3. use it in games, report back

it's a solid experiment IMHO... most people are virgins with their off hand, here you have a clean slate.. can start from scratch with perfect form.

I've done it .. took like 6 months to get really good with my left in practice, then another 6-12 months to be able to pull it off confidently in games (mostly street games, wasn't playing in leagues/school at the time). I was a shooter though.. the hardest part if the confidence of using it in a game. So, take that idea to someone who shoots with "sh*t form" or has confidence issues to begin with, or someone who just isn't a good shooter, and try to develop the ability to shoot high percentage freethrows in games?? it's so damn difficult. If it weren't difficult, these guys you see being paid millions of dollars would just do it.. does anyone here think they want to shoot 60% or less from the line?

that's why this argument always annoys me..

if it were easy, they would fix it. no one in their right mind would want to keep bricking freethrows especially in critical situations. You can even have amazing shooters who can't hit freethrows & shots in the clutch, there's a massive mental/sports psychology side of it in actual games.

heh.

joakim isn't a shooter. if it were easy to fix, he would. that's probably due to over a million shots with bad form.
