Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: A Journey to Running Fast and Jumping High
« on: July 31, 2018, 10:29:47 am »when are you gonna race, man? like, find an open meet and race? for example: https://www.visitleevalley.org.uk/en/content/cms/outdoors/athletics-centre/competition-entry-forms/sprints-meetings/
it's about measurement, but even more than that it's about learning. at the meets i went to a few years ago, i impressed exactly no one with my times. but i chatted to a couple of fast people who were impressed simply that i'd decided to try to get faster as an adult, entirely on my own, and test myself. that's what you're doing, too. if i'd decided to keep trying to get faster at sprinting, instead of realizing that sprinting was one in a long line tangents distracting me away from jumping, i'd have followed up with a couple of those people. hobbyists love sharing their hobby.
http://www.openmeetings.co.uk/find-an-open-meet.php
In UK athletics you have to be registered with British athletics, which I am and also be a member of a club, which the price is £62.00 which is ridiculous.
The real truth why I don't race besides being too occupied to go out of town competition, also because my training is like a stage by stage training so I am training the acceleration part of the 100m so I haven't trained the speed maintenance and deceleration to a certain degree, I fear of getting a bad time and resulting in low motivation to train.
I would like to compete but would prefer if it was local until I feel confident to go to bigger and out of town meets.
identify your fears, attack relentlessly.

well that's really awesome.
you'll be overwhelmed by how much athletics you want & can do there.. hah.
so many great people to run with, races, etc.. probably also have ultimate leagues and other stuff. you'll have you some fun!

Boxing / Re: Misc Boxing News
« on: July 31, 2018, 12:13:50 am »OMG what a fight. two undefeated champions facing off. definitely a fight of the year candidate.
Robert easter jr tall and rangy and you have mikey garcia who is calculate brawler and his left hook is deadly. robert easter starts quick early with the stiff sharp jabs but garcia being patient and just waiting and until when he starts jumping in and hitting and lands that ko shot damn off balance. robert easter was making fun of garcia's body at the weigh in no six packs or any tonage but stil powerful enough. but robert easter still fighting back he did move alot in one round but that was his downfall he has a good jabs but is not able to follow up properly without getting hit.
then garcia hits the gas and takes it to him towards the last few rounds and just shows how great he is. strong, powerful, calculated, smart, patient with counterpunching capabilities.
he wants to face spence at 147 but spence is too powerful, I don't know he would want that but if he is confident then who knows what can happen.
it was a really nice fight. I watched it live. Easter really brought it, he had some beautiful jabs.
Mikey is just on another level. Not sure how he's going to be able to get a W against Spence.. Spence is just too big for him. But, Mikey is confident and trusts his skills. I wouldn't call it a given W for Spence, that's for sure. Just too much of a size difference though. Who knows, maybe Spence doesn't have the kind of chin we suspect he has. Mikey will test it if they fight.
as far as the body comments go by Easter, that was just a waste of time. Mikey is an animal, doesn't need cuts/six pack, dude has power & serious skill. Easter knows that. Just a waste to even bring it up, unless Easter is that stupid, that he'd think it would get into the head of someone of Mikey's pedigree. lmao.

This is fucking hilarious. Man I loved Ronda when she was at the top. She just never had the mental game to recover from that first loss.
Just lucky those sports illustrated outtakes came out
what sports illustrated outtakes?
i was never big on rhonda.. i respect her, but she just got too cocky, while executing horrible game plans - ie, throwing punches. She should have been a non stop armbar specialist, instead she ended up believing her stupid fu*king trainer that she could beat Floyd in a boxing match.
and ya, she couldn't handle losing.
nor can Conor either IMHO.. where'd he go? he hasn't been the same since Nate Diaz.. sure he got his revenge, but he's not the same.
it usually turns into a train wreck when cocky folks w/ big mouths get an L.
It's something I always give Floyd extra credit for. You talk that much sh*t, act that royal, and end up walking away "flawless".. man that's hard. LOL. Fighters always want to crush people with big mouths. It's just human nature tbh.. It's so hard for someone to stay on top, when they just go off the rails with their cockiness/arrogance. That's probably why Floyd pulled it off, he knew how to "act" in such a way to bring the people out to pay $$ at the chance of him losing, but then behind the scenes he trained harder than anyone who ever boxed. HEH.
