was going back and looking through my max speed posts, before i pulled my hamstring:

07/27/2016: 18.3 mph

http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/adarq's-journal/msg123131/#msg123131

then on 08/01/2016 I hit 17.9 mph and pulled my hamstring.. I did that 08/01 session too soon, should have gone submax for several sessions prior to getting anywhere near that effort again.

I'd really like to get over 20 mph .. but, I don't want to go max like I was in those sprints. So somehow I need to figure out how to bump up my max without going true max ... lmao. True max is a bit scary IMHO. I imagine just more sprinting, getting crazy lean, and getting stronger will push it up safely, without needing to go true max. So i'll just stay patient and try to bump it up slow.

Ok, so something like the following would be a good contest:

1) First person to increase SVJ by 45% (me) and 20% (you) in 1 year. You would have to reach roughly 37in svj, while I would have to reach 35in. If neither reach it than, whoever is proportionally closer.

Sounds like a bet. Video with height reference verified by adarq.org community for measurements. Good luck sir.

Confirmed, 

now we're talkin`

major dunk beef going on.

Guy Dupuy calling Chris Staples a pussy & telling him he's going to get f'd up etc.



Dupuy comes off so trashy, damn.

something I posted elsewhere:

It’s going to look alot like the Floyd vs Gatti fight, which was a massacre. However, Conor doesn’t have anywhere near Gatti level heart, we all saw him fold against Nate in their first fight. Gatti would have fought to the death had Buddy McGirt not stopped it.

The speed advantage (hand speed, feet, defense) for Floyd is going to be absolutely insane. Conor will be very aggressive the first few rounds but he won’t touch Floyd, and Floyd will hit him with some massive body shots. By round 3, being frozen by not being able to touch Floyd, in combination with those body shots, Conor will be completely neutralized. Floyd will then look to take Conor’s chin off with some massive shots. I don’t see any way this fight goes past 6 rounds. This fight will most likely end with Conor’s corner throwing in the towel, but I believe there’s a good chance that Conor goes down on a body shot and basically quits. My preferred ending would be to see Conor floored a few times from body shots, him getting up & continuing, then Floyd feinting to the body & catching Conor clean on the chin with a lead right + left hook combo, knocking him out cold.

The only thing i’m worried about is Floyd toying with Conor too much, extending the fight. Not in the sense that it opens up Floyd for more risk. I just want to see Floyd truly try and hurt Conor without holding back.

If Conor shows some true will to win against Floyd, i’ll be impressed. I give him one round with that mentality, until he realizes what he’s really in there with. Then I fully expect to see him fold and try to survive, which will be absolutely impossible & a horrible move strategically. He’s just going to get picked apart. Furthermore, you know damn well Dana White wants Conor to fight in the UFC again… They are basically throwing him in to the wolves with this fight - and risk their “product” being severely damaged. That’s another reason I don’t expect Conor to “fight to the death”.

Post fight interview prediction:

Conor: I kewdn’t get up. I tried. That fookin shot landed right on me liver. I’m sorry I let me fans down but I just couldn’t fookin get up. I said i’d knock Floyd out in tree rounds and I really tried. But fook, what can you do. I hold me head up and I gave it me best. Floyd is the better boxer but If he wants to step into the octagon i’ll sleep him fast, everybody knows that.

:/

At the end of this event, Floyd will be 49-0-0 not 50-0-0, with 1 circus win that doesn’t count against a guy who had no place being in the boxing ring with him.

at the finish:

8/23
aches: Actually pretty damn sore (glutes, high hams), which is insane from doing only 50% weight lifts. Guess the volume was pretty high+RFD

hah damn. i would expect some serious soreness due to the change in velocity & the high volume.

hope you don't get crazy sore.

Practice x 1.5 hours, playing 5v5 the entire time. 6x 30Y-30Y shuttles at the end with 30s breaks

8/24
still really sore
1 hr movement work

TL;DR here's my plan for the next 2 weeks, point out stuff that's bad
Things I'm worried about:
-Too high vol+intensity too close to competition - conservative approach safer.. but better?
-Too many things I'm trying to peak: sport specific anaerobic endurance (most important), 40-60Y speed, shuttles, jumps
-INJURY.. knee is better after keeping it light last 3 days but who knows how it will feel tomorrow. Lots of grey area

Detailed:

8/24 Thurs (High Intensity):
-PM: DLRVJ's, Gym Peaking @ 35-40% weight+plyos
-AM: 10Y-20Y ME shuttles x15 (conditioning)

8/25 Fri (mid):
-starts, 40Y sprint conditioning

8/26 Sat:
-OFF, footwork x 45 mins

8/27 Sun (high):
-AM: ME shuttles focused on technique (full recovery)
-PM: top speed drills, 60Y ME sprints (conditioning)

8/28 Mon (mid):
-AM: SLRVJ's
-2PM: Practice x 2 hours-ish

8/29 Tues:
-OFF: choose between throws, agility, top speed mechanics?

i'd go with throws .. top speed mechanics at this point isn't going to be more beneficial than getting more throws in IMHO.

8/30 Wed (high):
AM: gym peaking @ 25% weight
PM: starts, 40Y repeats (conditioning)

8/31 Thur (mid):
-DLRVJ's, 10Y-20Y ME shuttles x15 (conditioning)

9/1 Fri:
-OFF: Agility, throws blah

9/2 Sat (mid):
-Gym Peaking @ 50%+plyos

9/3 Sun (mid):
PM1: Practice x2 hours
PM2: starts, 40Y ME (full recovery)

9/4 Mon
-OFF

9/5 Tues (high)
-Gym peaking @ 35%
-Possibly a practice? x 2 hrs

you don't have gym peaking + practice combined earlier in your plan, so i'd be careful here. you could be really wrecked (sore/achy) by combining both of those.

again I favor practice over the gym peaking stuff if one has to choose between them.

9/6 Wed (mid)
-starts, top speed drills, 60Y sprints ME (full recovery)

ME 60's are ok, but, i'd hit a very low volume of them at true ME & just fill in the rest as sME (submax-ME) and staying very relaxed.

If you do too much volume of 60 ME's you might have more of a ~3 day recovery window instead of two .. you just want to dig yourself a little hole that you recover from on thur/fri and are absolutely beastmode/supercompensated (from that session and the accumulated effect of all of the previous work) for the weekend. So just avoid digging too big of a hole on Wed.

For me that'd be like ~3 60's ME at most, preceded by & followed by high intensity sME (sub-ME) relaxed sprints. If you're thinking about doing like 10 ME or so, something that high in volume, could create more fatigue than you want.

9/7 Thurs
-OFF

9/8 Fri
-OFF

on those 2 days off maybe just do some light warmups to get the blood flowing .. and just stay really relaxed.

after all of that work plus those two days off, you should feel really good sat/sun.

dno just some thoughts at first glance.

good stuff man.

I saw this article on hackernews earlier today and thought it might be relevant:

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/jul/05/why-you-should-step-away-from-the-online-you

it's okay to reinvent yourself

TBH, i'd rather reinvent (rearchitect) my real self than invent fake selves. If my online-self sucks, i'd rather improve it & thus improve my real self.

If I had to say anything i've improved over the years online, it would be my ability to not respond to fire with fire. I used to respond to most of the negative comments on my dunk/jump videos, or in threads on other forums etc. I've slowly trained the ability to either ignore those comments, or respond more professionally. I prefer the new me, rather than the "fire with fire" me. I've also personally found it easier to eviscerate people attacking me by responding respectfully & thoughtfully, rather than emotionally. That is perhaps very relevant to recent discussions.
