« on: July 26, 2017, 05:42:09 pm »That is the major problem in these western countries is fruits and vegetables are produced in bulk for business and you get chemicals and nearly every food is processed and therefore makes us lack in the dietary area of our daily intake.
While other countries have more fresh produce.
Whole Foods / Fresh Market sonnnn. They've got great veggies/fruit
They also have lots of local farmer's markets which have great produce/fruits.
Just have to be wise where/how you shop.
So one of those "Fiesta Produce Markets" that sell really cheap veggies are no good? And Whole Foods is the way to go?
dno what fiesta produce market is.. but nah, local farmer's markets can have cheap veggies/fruit which are grown locally & can come with guarantees free of pesticides etc.
i switch it up between organic and 'regular'.
Jeez, so Walmart produce and Target produce is not too good?
it's probably fine, who knows though.. but, most of their products don't have any "guarantees" regarding pesticides/hormones/etc.. i imagine some do, but most probably don't. so, if you're someone who wants to avoid that stuff, walmart probably isn't the best place to shop.

great sweat. this week has been rough especially sleep-wise.
Have you tried Bikram yoga yet? I've been interested in trying it out but it's gotta be miserable at first.
I was going to ask about the sweat too.. looks effective. I think ghettoracer swore by Bikram Yoga on here?
hot room?
I feel as if i'd sleep like a baby after 90 minutes of *hot-room* yoga.

Boxing / Re: Why Don't Boxers use weights much?
« on: July 26, 2017, 03:05:38 pm »I don't get why they don't spend say, 1/3 of the time building that strength and the rest putting that into speed, power, quickness, accuracy etc?
I see them doing a lot of BW exercises, but don't see them doing weight presses etc. Seems like UFC also like this.
I mean, a OLY sprinter will do cleans, squats, kb swings etc in the weight room and then take it to the track....
you're generalizing too much. most professional boxer's lift now-days. it's not the type of lifting we're used too, because as vert-broz we are concerned with launching human bodies ~40 inches into the air, that takes a ton of strength. There's absolutely no requirement like that in boxing.. so when they lift, they do simple things like bodyweight exercises, weighted variations of those exercises, curls, punching with light db's, weighted core work, squats, leg press, weighted neck harness, weighted jump rope, training with a weighted vest etc.. Pushing your strength in the weight room can be very draining when it comes to the effect on skill work & these guys don't want to feel sore/inhibited from lifting ... so, if there's not an absolute guarantee that it will translate to being a better boxer, you won't see them focusing too hard on it. Being sharp is very important; these guys drill day in day out, trying to perfect very precise techniques/counters/movements, as well as sparring with live individuals ~1-3x/wk.
regardless, it's not that much of a difference maker.. skills pay the bills in boxing.
if you've ever seen these boxers brag about their training routines, or literally drinking their own urine because they think it'll give them an advantage, and then they get schooled in the ring.. it just makes everyone realize it's all a bunch of nonsense. Skill-work, sparring, running/cardio, are the core elements. Paying too much attention to anything else is just a waste of energy.
there hasn't been a boxer, ever, dominate the game due to incorporating a more advanced lifting routine.. not like you'd see in most olympic events like shotput, javeline, sprinting, running, etc.
i'd say that, if Boxing was a sport with a fixed frequency of fights, ie, a 'season', they'd need to lift more.. just to prevent the body from breaking down. But these guys go through ~8 week training camps to prepare for one fight, then take time off and work back into it.. The formula is pretty solid IMHO.. All of these s&c coaches who have tried to infiltrate boxing, have just been shown to be phony's who are really just PED pushers.

exactly. i forgot to mention it. that also contributed to me fuming.
what a disgrace. the only honorable decision would be to man the fuck up and apologize & own up to it. instead, they disgrace themselves. These people (coaches, owners, and NFL management) always hold themselves in the highest regard, acting like the moral authority over the athletes, yet they cover up CTE research, postponed addressing head trauma issues & over prescribing pain killers/injections until it was too late - literally like climate change deniers, let players play through injuries & head trauma, have shortened weeks which can't be safe, don't guarantee contracts, and can't own up to a damn mistake.
piece of shit NFL.

« on: July 26, 2017, 06:21:41 am »looks/sounds fun, nice. btw, was that burger from the other day, that you ig'd? made me so hungry. looked good af.
you'll be surprised how strong you are after this, i imagine. pushing overall fitness sets up a great base for subsequent strength/power blocks, hope it works out like that.
Haha. Man that burger was so good. I actually ate it so slowly to try and make it last lol. I could have had two quite easily.
hah nice. i always do that with good food: chew like 10x more than normal, more time in between bites. even then, you get to the end and it's kind of a sad moment. I've got a weak spot for burgers. They've got a few really good burger places nearby. Traditional burgers, bleu cheese burgers, burgers with eggs on em`, and burgers with a solid hot sauce, own me.
I've been wanting this one from BNB (Burgners & Beer, it's a small chain, sounds right up your alley) for a while:
SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL
1/2 lb. Premium beef blend, home style chili, sharp cheddar, pickled jalapenos, sour cream, habanero sauce, sesame bun
those dudes put their logo on the bun, lmao:
Quote
I'm hoping so. After the initial 8 weeks it will be 3 max strength sessions, 2 high intensity conditioning and 1 endurance for the next 9 weeks. There are set power blocks that you can plug in when required.
It's kind of like 513 in that sense that it's basically plug and play.
nice!!

that's nuts.... and the Cowboys "stand by their decision"??? wtf???
shame on the Cowboys & their piece of shit coach.. "made a decision that was in the best interest of the Dallas Cowboys" -> misidentified -> "we stand by our decision" .. that is disgraceful. How come no one has the class to apologize anymore? It sounds like they made a huge mistake.. Even if they were going to cut him regardless, they should be apologizing profusely & owning up to it.
this is also nuts:

The most salient point in there is that if KI wants the limelight then where does he go that he'll be the top dog? Knicks without Melo maybe. San Antonio nope. Utah idk.
Also very excited to see what playing with Lebron does for Rose. Provided he can stay healthy that is.
hope DROSE has an incredible, healthy season with Lebron.. that'd be sick.. could be his ticket to the finals.
Lebron's getting to the finals again. :d

« on: July 25, 2017, 10:18:12 pm »i just lol'd.. remember when my friend sent me some protein/carb supps? well, I haven't finished them.. tho i've been occasionally knocking out the coffee flavor protein when I have milk. My friend knows I got injured and haven't been training much lately. Anyway, some box arrives today and I had no idea what it was -> they sent me a fuckton of supps.
that's a fuckton to me.
I've been planning on experimenting with the carb supp for some important sessions soon. I felt pretty good on it before I got injured, just properly carbed up.
now that I have so much damn protein .. might do 1 scoop per day at least (as a milkshake), consistently.
i'm sure a supp-fiend would be mirin`
funny.
I'm jelly!!! haha
hah i knew it. ya i dno, that's kind of nuts. protein for months.
Quote
I like the idea of a carb for training sessions.
for important endurance related sessions, it's essential imho. You can get away without it for less important sessions, where burning calories is the primary emphasis.. but when performance is important, got to get those carbs in. I personally like to load up the day before, then day of, i'll eat lighter if the session is later in the day, or eat something very light in the morning.. favorite pre-run meal is watermelon + something empty nutritious wise (like a plain english muffin) to make the stomach feel good.
Quote
Even though I'm still eating super clean I'm trying to eat for performance rather than looks. I always wonder what it would be like if I ate at or above maintenance for a month or two and was really able to get after my training sessions.
for the db/bb/kb circuits, light runs, or less strict intervals with short sprints/runs: can get away without overloading on carbs & still be ok - but still not optimal.. for stuff like repeat x00's, miles, 5k's+ etc, with specific targets, being properly fueled up makes a huge difference, from my experience.
This dude got me into the watermelon technique.. he's got some good videos.
he knows his stuff when it comes to pure distance running.
