haha YT has been trying to get me to watch that vid for weeks. 32 minutes is long. gotta watch it piecemeal.
EDIT: the pyrros dimas lifts starting around 10:30 are completely insane. power snatch doubles of 140. power clean to jerk at 170 and it doesn't even look like he's trying.
EDIT 2: also, aukhadov doing clean-grip stationary-jerk-to-OHS with 180kg, at about 16:30. wat.

reminds me of something i read years ago from tony gentilcore: if you want to not eat sugary stuff, then throw it out. if it's in your house, chances are you'll eat it.

you're still shuffling your feet, man. so many wasted steps, so much wasted movement. the point of the t0ddday method is to make sure that each step adds useful speed and power, i.e. speed and power than you can convert into vertical movement. your full run-up approaches are still incredibly inefficient. i almost never take more than four steps anymore, and never more than five, because that's the most my body can handle to get up to the max speed i can convert into a jump.

« on: March 06, 2015, 05:41:19 pm »^^^jesus christ! there's nothing like that on the east coast. some of the western mountains might be in range but i've only ever skied in vermont and massachusetts. killington has something like 130km of trails and 22 lifts, about 1000m drop between summit and base.
Hey now I think thats about 4hrs or so from me, small world! If I ever went skiing though I'd end up in a body cast
lol you definitely would have been the biggest guy on the mountain.

« on: March 06, 2015, 09:54:47 am »So when do you know you reached lactic acid threshold? Is it a matter of distance, intensity or both? Do you feel it, or do you just know it from the numbers? Is it that burn that spreads in your quads while you put effort? ( this is so very familiar in prolonged non-stop skiing downhills ).
I like to get into running again now that the weather improves. But i am not into long distances, i like to do a mile at ~80%, and then either tempos ( something like 10-15x100m ) or max sprints ( about 5 max-out runs, distances varying from 80m to 300m ). But a longer run seems interesting too for aerobic fitness and fat loss, just don't want it to have any consequences at recovery and endurance muscle fiber adaptations. Is 5K at a moderate pace 'safe'?
you know the threshold feeling, it's what you said: when your muscles start to burn. if you keep your low-intensity steady-state cardio low-intensity and relatively low volume, you should be fine. and as long as you build up to it slowly. one idea, which i'm considering implementing once the roads and sidewalks here are no longer covered in ice, is a medium-distance run (starting with two miles and building up to 3 or 4) one day a week and extensive tempo or a fartlek one day a week. that overall volume is low enough that i wouldn't be too worried about compromising the gym adaptations.
