The halestorm is back!

nice! glad to see he's still beastin`.

we've got a guy like that in the US that you probably know of: trayvon bromell. he set the world junior record in 2014 for 100m, and now he should be competing in Rio @ 100m & 200m, i think.. very unassuming build as well (like hale).

hah nice.

Bio: Morning

last night's sleep: ~9 hours
last night fell asleep: ~5 AM
wakeup = 1 PM
bw = 147
morning resting heart rate = didn't measure
soreness = calves moderate (left much more so than right), hamstrings slightly
aches = left achilles slightly (but also left ankle in general)
injuries = none!
standing desk (when on computer): none
feel = good, but scatter brained
water = alot



Food

4 PM
- stretched calves/ankles while chopping/cutting the veggies

- big stir fry: 3 potatoes, 3 carrots, 1 broccoli, kalamata olives, 4 turmeric, 1 head of garlic, lots of mixed nuts, white onion, jalapeno pepper, red chili pepper, serrano pepper, olive oil, asperagus tips, goat cheese at the end
- 6 eggs
- green tea

after:
- whole milk
- biscotti



one reason i'm taking pictures of my food right now.. is because i just want to remember it. i'm forming an intimate relationship with vegetables (& stir fry, & goat cheese).



Food

7 PM

- beet/berry juice pre-made drink



Food

9 PM

- whole milk
- almond joy



Food

2 AM

- greek yogurt
- banana



feel pretty good other than the soreness.. should be able to train tomorrow, but, not sure yet.. tomorrow would be 12-minute test and submax jumps.

got alot of programming done.. but mostly, setup local environments for better testing on my laptop instead of through my VPN.. and some refactoring.. also need to figure out a background job/work queue system.. leaning towards rabbitmq for now, but, also not sure how I want to even code out the jobs themselves.. dno, should just try to keep it crazy simple for now though.. whatever i design right now will need to be re-designed eventually anyway.

watched lots of sports: boxing (thurman/porter), futbol (croatia/portugal, usa/colombia).

USA / COL was pretty good.. sooooo many chances for the US, too bad they couldn't convert.

ARG / CHL tmw at 6 PM ET. should be a ridiculous game.

Boxing / Re: 06/25/2016: Keith Thurman vs Shawn Porter
« on: June 26, 2016, 02:50:32 am »
great fight! definitely a war..

Thurman definitely showed his boxing skills imho, very slick counters and movement.. Also tons of power, but Porter is just a beast. He's got heart & chin, too hard to get him out of there. Thurman had him rocked 3 times.. he also hit him with KO level shots and Porter just ate them.

Biggest worry for me, with Thurman, is his conditioning.. Seems like every time he goes 12, he's fading in the later rounds (10-12). He looked very tired come round ~8 or so, but he just gutted it out. Porter on the other hand looked fresh.

Thurman should have avoided the ropes.. I understood what he was doing, basically rope-a-doping, but it just made Porter look like he was winning rounds. If he avoided that all-together, he would have won by a bigger margin.

Really good fight.

I'm not eager to see a rematch though, i'd like to see Thurman take on some 'bigger names' but also more KO'able names. He throws some massive shots, it's fun to watch.

Porter is very solid, but Thurman is that "next level guy".

Ibaka to the Magic.

http://www.espn.com.au/nba/story/_/id/16462469/serge-ibaka-traded-oklahoma-city-thunder-orlando-magic

The whole thing makes a lot of sense but all hinges on KD staying with OKC. Apparently he's meeting 5 teams outside of OKC including the Celtics, Clippers, Heat, Spurs and GSW all at one place over the next week and will sign before July 9. I'd love him to stay with OKC but so many other possibilities.

ibaka to orlando.. nice.

isn't that kind of a bad sign when it comes to keeping durant in OKC though?

if i had to bet money on it.. i'd say he's going to leave OKC.

apparently the warriors will go after Whiteside (MIA) if they can't get Durant.. nooooooOoOOOoo.. that would suck for MIA fans, unless they can get Durant in Miami.

Wow the switzerland vs poland match was awesome, the goal by shaqiri was awesome causing it to go to penalties.

should be a great fight.. people have been looking forward to this for a long time.

not sure how Keith will look considering he's coming off that car accident and some prior injuries.. but, if he's in top form, I think he's winning this fight. Porter is no joke though, he's a bull.

top form Thurman = decision win... anything less, dno, could definitely go to Porter, he knows how to grind out fights.

i'll be hoping keith thurman wins though, big fan of his.

the PBC card starts around 9 PM ET i think.

I think you mistyped the date it should be 06/25/2016 not going to be picky about the name spelling lol

haha.. thanks. sorry i was getting ready to make food and was posting it real quick.. wow typo & incorrect-date fest.

but ye it is an intriguing matchup, keith thurman has had a longer lay off then shawn who had a stay busy fight even if it was in his gym. and as you mentioned keith thurman's car accident.

keith had problem in knocking bundu out because of awkward (this spellings looks wrong but meh) so if shawn porter boxes moves he has good chance, keith relies on his power punch too much and shawn porter showed some flaws when he fought kell brook and got knocked down by adrien.

but intriguing to see what happens. I am a fan of both but I think porter maybe able to pull if off with a majority decision

keith has good boxing too though.. he definitely has serious power but, i wouldn't say he relies on it. he can box if he has too.

should be a great fight.. very excited to see it. both guys are elite young fighters.

Food

1:30 PM

- green tea
- greek yogurt



Session: Afternoon

4 PM
- shoes: NB XC700v3
- strike: forefoot

runs:

1. 0.15 mi in 44s
- 12 mph, 5:01 min/mi
- this actually felt the best of all of the runs in this session.. HEH

2. 0.22 mi in 1:11
- 10.9 mph, 5:31 min/mi
- deliberately slowed it down slightly

3. 1.03 mi in 5m:33s
- 10.8 mph
- decent.. technically my third best mile since getting the watch.. 1s off 2nd-pr, 8 seconds off my #1 PR.
- 1KM: 3m:19s


wore my xc700v2's instead of nb 5000v2's.. the xc flats always allow me to get onto my forefoot easier, and, perhaps feel better.. dno yet.



Food

5 PM

- 2 x wheat bread with peanut butter
- green tea
- 2 x banana



Food

7 PM

- 2% milk + 2 tspn coffee + honey



Session: Evening

8 PM
- shoes: NB XC900v2

run: 0.69 mi in 3m38s
- 1 KM: 3m13s (4s off PR)
- pace: 11.5 mph, 5:14 min/mi
- strike: forefoot
- backed off the first ~500m, with the intent on going harder the remaining distance
- worked fairly decent.. felt like more of a 'repeatable' run/sprint.
- actually thought I PR'd it though

jumps:
- ~1 hour of jumps, alternating R-SLRVJ with L-SLRVJ
- felt great.. got ~10'8" off L-SLRVJ whenever I wanted -> max effort jump.
- unfortunately couldn't get any higher
- ~30 jumps each leg
- R-SLRVJ feeling better

run: 3.17 mi in 23m53s
- legs dead
- strike: mid / heel->toe
- splits: 7:16, 7:34, 7:42, rest(7:42)
- at least i didn't fade off into the 8's

toast.

jumping felt really good. happy with it. would like to see 10'9-10'10 in the near future.




Food

10 PM

- whole milk
- tons of cherries (like 30-40 ;f)
- tons of blueberries
- bunch of water melon
- banana
- green tea

not a real meal.. but was so damn good, considering how beat I was.. feel great after that meal too.



Food

3 AM

- whole milk
- 2 x wheat toast with butter
- banana




body feels light/snappy.. legs a bit achy.. need to make sure i don't eat any ice cream in the near future. I have a mounds bar waiting for me, but that's much less of a problem. Would like to lean out a bit more, which might sound crazy.. but, I actually have quite a bit of room to lean out, even though i'm so light. I'm an alien.

got tons of programming done. getting close to the end of the month, might be able to showcase some of the forum i've been working on.. this thing is a major work in progress but, it's going good. i'm happy with it so far.. seems like I should be further along by now but, all good.

fwiw i have and love the iPhone SE, which has the specs of an iPhone 6 but in an iPhone 5 (i.e. much smaller) body. so much more comfortable to use.

thanks. i have to go see some of these in person soon.. guhh!

i hate running with my current phone but, i imagine all of these good ones are actually lighter. this is some old janky tank.

3 * 4 DL bounds :
9.3m , 9.6m , 9.6m , two times lifetime  :personal-record:
-Awesome, and they didn't even feel THAT good, felt i had better bounce in me.

:headbang: that reactive/explosive p-chain power.

it's the weirdest thing when they "don't feel good" but you still PR. maybe our perception of "feeling good" is just wrecked.



Quote
5@150m @ 70%, starting every 2 minutes.
-Decreased hard acceleration time to ~7s as advised, upped the intensity of it a bit. Incredible. I was getting 32.x going totally relaxed.
Tried to relax even more at last lap to see what would happen. I was almost walking, so slow i actually for bored, still got 36s.

damn nice. that's good stuff.

tbh, seems like your body is loving these sprint/reactive/jump assistance sessions.

go heavy for 10 weeks then light for 10 weeks? dno, don't like it.

you're basically someone with a 2xBW 1RM squat right now.. right? that'd be great for me, but maybe only "good" for you.. so if you can safely keep increasing your squat, I would do so. Squatting 2.3 x BW for a 1RM means you will be able to move 2 x BW faster.. it also means you will be able to move 1 x BW even faster. Obviously 1RM isn't the only thing that matters, how fast you actually can complete the rep matters too, especially the transition from eccentric->isometric->concentric.. but, focusing on that for very heavy lifts is risky.. Focusing on it during your warmup/workup sets, and even your work sets (of 5+ reps, or submax singles) is far safer and more beneficial.

Are you focusing on speed at all? I personally don't like dive-bombing (the eccentric/lowering part) - why risk it, but I do like accelerating out of the bottom position (during the transition phase) all the way through to completing the lift - standing up.

If you're not focusing on speed .. i'd start thinking about focusing on it during your workup-sets (warmups before you work sets).

I personally don't think you're the type of athlete who is going to benefit from 10 weeks of lifting, and then 10 weeks of deloading.. I've always thought you are the type that needs a fairly large squat, but also needs to jump alot more.. I think squatting becomes even more important when you don't have a good group of people to jump with.. it's harder to manufacture that kind of adrenaline when jumping 'alone'. Lifting heavy is a good way to create that response, at least.

pc!

Oh...one good thing. Ran a sprint against a kid that runs a low mid 4.5 according to some people and beat him...no warmup...shoes untied and on cruise control on the way back (basketball court down and back). :/ just adds to the confusion i guess.

lmao that's kind of embarrassing (for the fast dude).. the shoes untied/cruise control/no warmup part.



Quote
But...maybe thats were my extra inches are. Keeping this speed but getting my strength back?

dno tbh.. but at some point they will just show up out of nowhere and you'll be happy as fuck. ;f
