Edit- It was 40 degrees and driving home from my training right next to the oval I was running at was a 2.5m brown snake lying in the middle of the road. I didn't see it until it was too late and ran over it. Snakes are fkn tough it slithered away as I drove about 200m up the road and did a U-turn to see if I'd killed it. The snake was lurking on the curb next to the foot path seemingly unharmed. Snakes scare the shit out of me!!!
My gut feeling was Lebron going to LA was him saying that's enough of this basketball stuff now to do other things in life. But i don't even think he expected the team around him to be this poor. Ive thought this since his Miami days but he Lebron has really has been the worst off-court custodian of his GOAT player legacy. He should have put himself in better situations to win than he has. It's clear to me had he been more discriminating, he would have left Cleveland sooner the first time, maybe miami a year sooner and definitely not gone back to Cleveland. They won an unlikely ring but nevremind that. Not even sure why he thought going to the Lakers while trusting that damn fool Magic would work well for him. I think he would have been better off going to the Sixers and letting Ben handle the ball more while he played more off the ball.
I've been puzzled by some of his choices with regards to the teams he plays for. It would have been a fairy tale for him to be a one club player at Cleveland and turn it into a powerhouse dynasty club. I guess going to Miama made sense playing alongside Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade. Even coming back to Cleveland made sense (the prodigal son). However, going to the Lakers is what killed it. If Lebron played for the 76ers they would kill it. Can you imagine how deadly a team with Lebron, Simmons, Embiid and Jimmy Butler would be!? Shiiit. On their day when EVERYTHING is going right Golden State could beat them but 9 times out of 10 the 76ers with Lebron would outplay them.
Off court I personally believe Lebron has been amazing. No crimes, no scandals, family man and he appears to be someone who hasn't let fame get to his head.
Daily discipline update-
Food has been great. Haven't had "junk" food or alcohol in about 5 weeks now. This feels amazing. The funny thing is I'm not going to be so dogmatic about it in the future but for the next month or so I think it will be worthwhile to stay completely off. The refined sugar is the main culprit where I'm trying to undo years of damage which I understand isn't going to happen overnight. I've been sticking to mainly cold showers every day since before Christmas but have still had maybe 3-4 warm/hot showers. I got caught up for a while thinking I had to have a cold shower every day. Why? Idk. Trying to be more balanced in these things.
On a weight/bf note I am down to 90.5 and my waist is down to just over 35". Had a scan at the gym the other day. It said I was 5%bf which is very unlikely. It did show I had a high level of hydration which screws up the scan though. Looking in the mirror and comparing a ton of online pics from dexa scans I would say I have no idea but could be between 9-14%. I think I am in a position though where I need more muscle. Visually my body fat is pretty good but I'm definitely lacking on the muscle front. I am going to go the next couple of weeks as I am now and see if I can get down to the 88's, stabilise for a couple of weeks and build from there. I've had more volume in overall training the last couple of weeks and this should help get that last couple of kilos off.
On a sleep front I'm averaging about 7 hours a night. Sometimes broken due to kids. Would like to get a touch more need to start a pre-bedtime routine just so I'm not all over the place with computer/phone/etc.
pretty cool. invited to a presentation that honored a charity for paralyzed veterans (@pva1946) 🇺🇸 with a check for $1,000 from the @cityofsunrise, as part of the money raised during the #sunrise #trickortrot5k. @sendoclause was invited but he couldnt make it, so i went on his behalf 😎 other folks were honored as well, it was pretty cool. i looked like i was ready to go for a run lol.

guy with a violent crime from 20 years ago was asking for leniency to coach his kids baseball team. turned out to be very interesting.
Wow! How did it turn out?
Reminds me of those border security shows where someone it trying to enter the country and they have an assualt charge from 20 years ago and are turned away.
Had 3 super stressful days at work, 12.5 hr days with literally no breaks. Then got a puncture on my way home and had to walk my bike for like an hour lol. There is literally no time to do anything else in these days, it sucks.. Gym is out of the question if I want to sleep >6 hrs.
So needed some fun today, headed out to a local Reservoir and just ran

Totally destroyed after but it was super fun. Again it was a minor side stitch holding my pace back for the first 10k or so, the last few km was pretty rough terrain which was super fun but slowed me down a little.
By far the furthest I have ever ran haha, super enjoyed it. We've had great February weather so it was like 18c blue skies and a light breeze, just perfect for running.
Steve Prefontaine, The Kid From Coos Bay, my favorite athlete of all time. People always find it strange that I don’t look up to strength athletes but I think most of them act like basic bitches and that shit bores the hell out of me. Here’s my promo code. Shut up. Anyway, I developed my lifting style when I was younger off of his running style which he referred to as the suicide pace. He would start fast, not pace himself and basically almost die to win. For me at 22 years old, being skinny for the sport with no real technical skill that seemed like the only way to win and it worked.
