Odds of mcgregor losing has gone down so much, he has become less of an underdog than miguel cotto was, maidana like wtf, betting industry think because of 8 oz gloves he has become more of a threat than miguel cotto and maidana. lol
wtf?
Quote
QuoteA huge amount of money has started being placed on McGregor over the past week, with the UFC star’s odds in the United States tumbling from +950 to +325 over the past few weeks.http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/boxing/mayweather-mcgregor/floyd-mayweather-vs-conor-mcgregor-latest-odds-slashed-bookmakers-money-latest-news-what-time-when-a7905696.html
And, according to OddsShark.com, McGregor’s tumbling odds mean that betting on Mayweather to win at the current rate provides better value than every one of his previous fights dating back to 2011 — with the exception of the Manny Pacquiao and Canelo Alvarez contests.
That means McGregor is now less of an underdog than the likes of Miguel Cotto, Zab Judah, Andre Berto, Victor Ortiz and Marcos Maidana (twice).
wtf.

toast today. PR wreckage.
bw = 154
soreness = upper body (chest/biceps/lats/abs especially) from yesterday's session 1 pullups/dips, lower body slightly(hamstrings, glutes), lower back moderate, hips moderate, right calf sore
aches / injuries = left foot (PF) slightly, non-painful blister on right big toe
right calf and left PF a bit better .. best they've been in the last ~3-4 days.
edit: during dog walk, left PF (seems more like a bone issue tbh) was bothering me, stretched the area and made it worse. heh.
- deep digging massage when i got home, loosened it up alot.
- might need to avoid walking for a while & definitely running, instead just hit high volume stepups for a while.. dno yet.
- i've had this before but this time it might be worse, seems to be taking too long to disappear.
-
complete rest today.
tomorrow I might hit up the track again. hoping the complete rest would have helped a bit.
LBSS WAS RIGHT - hard to stay away:
- doing some light stretching to close out the night .. did a little so far, but going to do more .. using it to help me try and get to sleep earlier too, stretching light in teh dark nice and relaxed.
- feels so good when you "need it". :/

« on: August 21, 2017, 03:10:36 pm »just inspired me to look up WR for 20km (12.4mi) race walk. it's 1:16. that is insane. like a 6:08 min/mi pace.
ya dude, that stuff is crazy .. they use that wormy looking speed walking form, i've never even tried it and don't intend to.. i've heard those dudes have lots of hip problems - but that could be b.s.
i have no idea how i'll even hit 5 mph which is like barely under sub 12 I think .. sub 10 min/mi sounds impossible. lmao.
What I am *really curious* about, would be how fast those people can walk using a "normal form". Or maybe I don't know enough about how speed walking works, but i'd suspect there's a pace that you can hit before rotating your hips all "weird". Here's a decent video I just found:<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1sxFgTUbWo" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1sxFgTUbWo</a>
I mean would they hit ~8 min/mi without the hip rotation? if so that's still absolutely flying. The straight leg doesn't look weird to me, there's just some unnatural looking hip movements going on which seems deliberate - not a result of one foot in front of the other, or a locked leg. I'd love to see how fast one of these elite speed walkers could go by using a "normal walking gait". I imagine it would still be very fast.
Also: Kipchoge basically ran 26.2 miles in the time I walked 9.1 miles last night...
peace!
It was interesting to see this in the diamond league in birmingham, your last sentence reminded me of this.
Glad to see bosworth happy, I felt sorry for his walking race when he was disqualified he was really upset.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCkq6hi7eYU" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCkq6hi7eYU</a>
LMFAO!! they didn't show that on the broadcast I saw .. that's funny stuff. I disagree with one thing though, they keep saying "this is what athletics needs, different ideas" etc.. No. No. No.

separate building for home gym = dream.
ikr wtf?
Went 8 rounds plus JR,, 2 squats
The weight vest doesn't have a massive impact on my performance.
Also the apprenticeship thing, I am slowly building up equipment for a home gym and if I get the job then I will be getting a 20k loan to build one after my 6 month mark.
I priced it out so far
A lot of weights, 2 bars, yoke, log, package includes rower and all crossfit type stuff is 5700, throw in a belt squat and it's around 8k then 12k for a building.
Took a nap and now going back out for workout #3 I think.
Idk insert fancy name
Death by 7s
7 minutes of burpees
7 minutes of wallballs
......................snatch
......jumping jax
.......jump rope
Kept the easy shit at the end to cool down
Not sure about wallballs, might do kb thrusters
wtf?
that's pretty sick. The yoke is especially bad ass. Belt squat too, damn. You're going to have like, random strongman/crossfit competitors showing up to your "facility" to train.. may need some kind of under-the-table membership fee

major walking PR! 9.1 miles in 2 hours - 4.55 mph.
http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/adarq's-journal/msg134091/#msg134091
evening walking PR attempt!
- goal: 9 miles in 2 hours - i've never done this before .. tried, but failed a few times
- results: 9.1 miles in 2 hours
- https://www.endomondo.com/users/26420622/workouts/987164257
- https://www.strava.com/activities/1144094673
- tons of PR's, most notably:
-- most 12:XX's in a row (4)
-- 9.1 miles in 2 hours
-- 4.68 miles in one hour as part of one of the segments of the total walk
- this was really difficult TBH.. I didn't look to see if I had any chance until I got to mile 8 .. I mean, I knew my splits were good and that i'd have ~14-16 minutes probably for mile 9, so once I hit mile 8, I was basically exactly at 1:45:00, so 15 minutes left.. so I knew I had it but wanted to get in some extra, hence the 1.1 instead of 1.
- I was completely drenched, head to toe .. maintaining that kind of pace while walking is pretty rough.
- legs/body felt amazing during the walk
- legs/body feel amazing after, but starting to tighten up a bit
- left shin feeling it a little right now
- felt my left PF/foot issue for pretty much the entire walk .. it's "light" but still, not good feeling that.
major PR for me tbh ... i've never been able to do that .. so it either means I just tried harder, or i'm actually seeing some cardiovascular improvements + hip/leg strength improvements. I'll go more with the latter IMHO.
breathing wise it's actually not easy .. you can definitely feel yourself sucking in some air at times.. and by mile 8, I was having a hard time staying completely straight lmao.. i was wobbling a bit from fatigue I think, and also closing my eyes on occasion, just was getting tired.
the best part of cardio tho, is rehydrating afterwards. it's literally the best feeling on earth. I had:
- protein + milk
- water w/ lemon
- coconut water
- all put in the freezer for like 15 minutes so it was ice cold
- straight up bliss
- also, like usual, over that distance I lost 6 lb. water.

bw = 155 lb
soreness = right calf, hamstrings/glutes/adductors very slightly
aches/injuries = left PF and/or a bone in my foot might be freaked out - eek
morning light w/o:
- 12 PM
- ~1 hour of light alternation of a pullup variation and dip variation
- literally a single pullup or dip .. doing all kinds of variations (legs, grips, etc)
- the variation that got my HR up the most was when I flexed one hip hard and extended the other hip/knee hard, as if i'm in a still shot of a sprint .. that got my HR to jump up alot more
- each split is "9 reps of a pullup variation followed by a dip variation", so, 6 x 9 total
felt pretty good.

if you're controlling it pretty well that's alright but just be careful.
you mean when stepping down? like, taking a miss step and tweaking the ankle/achilles etc?
thanks for the heads up. ya I do it pretty controlled & my "step downs" are light.

Thanks man.
yeah it was really rough though.. I need to be able to handle it waaay better. I wasn't that sore from it today either, which is great. So I might prefer that over walking lunges, especially for now. It's pretty intense with the heart rate + lactic acid + deep range of movement for hips/glutes so, good tool.
