There's this thing bugging me about athletes in general. Why a lot of professional athletes, almost everyone from the places i've been training at, considers training like a sort of a job or something. They all need their coach to tell them they only have one more sprint/jump/squat to do and they finish. Why for them after the "hard work" they can relax and entertain themselves (clubs, women, drinking, etc). I hate this kind of approach to training and sports as a whole. For me there's nothing that gives me more pleasure in the world than training. I'm sad when i finish my workout because i hate leaving the facility and going to the pc, so that's why i always wonder about these people and question their dedication...  yeah that's cause it IS their job. once it becomes your responsibility to your boss to train hard and be in the best shape possible so you can drill for hours or work out for hours, whether you've had a good day or a shitty day or whether you got enough sleep or not or whatever, i can imagine it stops being so fun. no doubt pro athletes still have a lot of fun, but a job is a job. sometimes it sucks, you don't want to do it and/or you need a break from it. and i bet there are some pro athletes who wake up every day and just can't wait to get training or playing just because they love it so much. same as with lots of jobs: some people simply cannot wait to wake up the next day and start saving lives in the ER and some people would rather read a book sometimes but being an ER doctor is their job. both people have to show up and do work, but one person only loves it sometimes, or never loves it at all. long-winded way of saying: a job is a job. save it for the motivational thread!  |

motivation went out the window to go to the gym today and it's because of stupid weak-minded decisions on my part. don't need to get into too much detail but i'm pissed at myself about it. i'm okay about going to the gym and i work hard when when i'm there, but i need to be more consistent and committed on the day-to-day. life gets in the way and whatnot and i've got issues that some of the younger or less-attached people on here don't, but that's some bullllllshit as far as excuses go. i need to just sack the fuck up and get after it, and instead i'm not. today, anyway. but today is yesterday's tomorrow, or whatever that cliche is. tonight i'll get in some more rollering and stretching but that is NOT what i planned and NOT all i should be doing today. |

Low vert today... for some reason I just think I'm wasting my time. I mean, I know I did a good volume of SO CALLED strength work yesterday, but really, how can a 80 kg bar feel so heavy? And how can I suck so much today after just two sets of 80x10? I really really really need to boost my strength levels and not get injured. I don't know.  |

http://adarq.org/code/"Now Cornell University neurobiologists, studying the adrenal glands of rats, have discovered how chronic stress cranks up the intensity of this adrenaline response. The key to this so-called molecular memory resides in a donut-shaped protein on the surface of cells that secrete adrenaline, the hormone also known as epinephrine." PED's in drug free sports is cheating, unethical, and weak. Athletes and/or coaches who condone/display this behavior can get lost."But you have never felt the burn that you get in the hip flexors from pulling back on the pedal stroke, you have never done the exercise in your life.

Random post from T-nation-
"Best advice I can give, though it will sound like a broken record, is to squat, squat, squat and heavy if you want to improve your sprint times.
One of my favorite anecdotes related to this is from "Romo" (Bill Romanowski's autobiography). He talks about when he first started working with Remy Korchemny on speed work and Remy asked him if he was squatting.
Romo (to my surprise) said he wasn't and was only doing leg presses for lower body work.So Remy tells Romo to start squatting and after awhile, excited with his progress, Romo comes back to Remy and tells him he can squat 400. Remy answers, "Good. Now you can squat as much as my women sprinters."
Granted most of Korchemny's athletes were juiced to the gills - he was one of the guys taken down with the BALCO bust - but I think there's something to be learned there, nonetheless."
