federer sailed through and so did murray.

Nadal vs Muller, been going on 4hrs, hope nadal gets through. its 2-2 sets and 9-9 games.

EDIT: That 10-9 game save by nadal just amazing the last point to get to 10-10 games wow. Nadal had 0 challenges up to the 12th game, then he got 3, really helps to have challenges. All those points and misses which could have been cancelled.

muller has his wide shot serves, which helps him in the returns. Muller is a robot lol. Nadal is the one trying to survive i feel and muller just finding it easy on his serves.

 :( It was just too much for nadal. Epic match and longest match in the tournament.

OMG. Federer vs raonic again in the quarter finals. federer's revenge or raonic's 2nd success.

dude what a match: nadal vs muller!

Man Muller played the match of his life.. I'm shocked how good he looked toward the end of that last set.. Nadal was visibly struggling IMHO, Muller was "coasting", he was in that "zone" for sure.. Everything looked effortless.

Sucks to see Nadal out of it but happy for Muller, what a performance.

Federer will beat Raonic hopefully!

Most of the stuff at Ultra/Miami doesn't look too good (edm mixed with pop music? i don't like the pop stuff mixed or dubstep stuff).. But this is ok:

halfway through vacation. went for a run/calisthenics workout in the park with gf in san francisco one day and have been walking a lot but otherwise basically no exercise. it's been kind of exhausting, we're moving around a lot. looking forward to heading to the beach on friday and just sitting still for a while. made a pact with gf to exercise every day -- yoga or calisthenics or tennis or a run or whatever.

nice! she teaches yoga right? must be overall athletic.

Alright will watch. Now it goes on my list including but not limited to:

- Dark Knight Rises
- American Sniper
- The Hateful Eight
- Bone Tomahawk
- Sicaro
- actually pretty much any movie that has a dramatic streak to it.

^^ Sicario is really good.



Just watched Dark Knight Rises trailer to refresh my memory, oh the one with Bane.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1345836/videoplayer/vi2376312089?ref_=tt_ov_vi

dope trailer. My favorite batman movie is "The Dark Knight" with Heath Ledger (RIP).

Bale was an epic batman. He brought it into a "darker" more intense world, which I prefer in comic book/superhero movies.

the movie Inception....

Does anyone here actually understand the exact plot and logic of the movie?

I personally still don't get some parts of it.... such as wtf happened that cause Mal to think the real world was not real (how he locked the totem in a safe or something).... and how the son of that tycoon helped them break into his own subconscious....

Have not seen it. Is it worth my time to invest in it?

yea Inception is solid.. you have to pay attention though, it's a very weird plot.. but I think if you watch it "again", it gets better.. kind of like Deja Vu.

plus, it has Leo in it. :D cast is great overall.. and it's one of Zimmer's best soundtracks IMHO.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1375666/

8.8 on IMDB ... that's really high. :o

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWcrCdWA8V0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWcrCdWA8V0</a>

"Time" is amazing IMHO.. so simple but perfect.

masterpiece soundtrack.  :wowthatwasnutswtf:



I've been wanting to watch it recently .. so can't answer fast's question, as it's not fresh in my head.

actually never saw "Good will Hunting" until today.. very solid.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119217/

RIP Robin Williams, great performance. :/

Great movie.

yea. Wish I would have seen it sooner. Matt Damon is such a beast, really great actor IMHO. "Rounders" is still my favorite performance of his.

Quote
My son started saying "how bout dem apples" the other day and I've got no idea where he got from and he certainly hasn't seen this.

haha! I've heard it in a bunch of other movies but not sure where a young kid would pick it up.

Mayweather hunted by the irs for the unpaid tax. But he has asked them to wait for the mcgregor fight and here I was thinking he was loaded, but majority of them are tied up in stock or somewhere.

ya that seems to be the theme with rich flashy athletes, always squandering it..

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/768256-floyd-burns-a-100-bill-in-an-atlanta-club-money-doesnt-seem-to-be-an-issue

if in the end he loses it all, we shouldn't be shocked.

WBO will rescore the fight with jeff horn vs pacquiao using 5 anonymous judges and that will show which person really won the fight, but it won't change the score, because fight was close and it could have gone either way, but wbo has requested evidence of fraud or unfair officiating in order for it to change the decision.

http://www.sportingnews.com/other-sports/news/wbo-re-score-controversial-manny-pacquiao-jeff-horn-fight-letter/m1ro0z30l131ppyq91kd2ef3

very interested to see the outcome of this.. it was close no matter how you watched it (tv or ringside).

damn!

also, just re-looked at the 100m list:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_metres

that first spot is just unbelievable.. how is that real? ;d

If they had a list with dups, Usain Bolt would be like, top 3, and probably most of the top 10, no? nuts.

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: caffeine/preworkout/energy drinks

^^ the caffeine addicts thread :trollface:

It took me like 4 months to completely lose my addiction to caffeine. I had started taking it daily (in the form of milk+cappuccino drinks) in the morning, before work, for my job from ~2013-2015. Getting out of bed was impossible without it. Then when I quit, it took me 4 months at least before I started feeling normal again.

fastdontlie: the most potent use of caffeine as a performance enhancer, in my experience, comes when you don't take it normally, and instead take large doses before important sessions (PR attempts, dunk sessions, etc).

When you start to feel very jittery/shaky soon after taking it, and it makes you shit non-stop, that usually means you're ready to "fly".

Sometimes it can overload you though, and you just feel like you're going to have a heart attack. For example, after high doses of caffeine then a dunk session, it wasn't uncommon for me to go home and pass out.. So here I am amp'd up like crazy on caffeine, but I can't stay awake. It really helps you tap into "that much more CNS" than you normally would have .... and that becomes very draining.

I tried caffeine for running (distance), but it just makes me go to the bathroom so much (prior to running), that it cancels out the effect. Worrying about using the bathroom before a race, during a race, etc .. is not worth it. Dunk/sprint sessions however, i'd still use it on occasion to tap into some more power.

Caffeine also feels like an "artificial crowd".. Amps me up as if "people are watching".

FWIW, I sometimes put 2-3 scoops of instant coffee/cappuccino into some milk with a little honey, ~~30-60 minutes before an important dunk session. That would amp me up real good. Way better than a "monster energy" drink or anything like that.

I still get some caffeine now-days through my raw green tea, but doesn't feel like much. I try and go ~3 days without it each week, so not to be completely dependent on it.. feels like it works.

How did you throw the left hook? Do you use more body movement or arm movement to throw a nice left hook?

to me, body. it's a short shot where you try to line up your body weight behind it, and torque the hips while throwing it.

there's different kinds of hooks though.. the most devastating one is with your BW behind it. Tyson is good to learn from, probably the most picture perfect hook of all time.

but there's also "slapping hooks" etc.. these are "longer" and more loose.. can connect at further range but carry less devastating power because it's further away - though, they often look more brutal because they are "scary looking".

a short compact hook is lethal..minimal arm movement, proper angles, lots of hip = lethal.. Alot of baseball analogies apply, i imagine. Need to create an L with your arm and have the elbow up in line with your shoulder, fist neutral.. then you torque the hips as you punch into the target.. the more you open the elbow, the less devastating but the more range you can cover - and you can still wreck people with a long hook.

is that what you were talking about?

there's also fast slapping hooks as counters over jabs/crosses etc.

body shots are similar for the most part.. more hip torque than "punch" .. you torque the hip while getting behind the punch, into your target.

lots of different variations to the basic punches.
