I've lost pretty much all respect for Coach K.

roger federer single handed backhand dunk..

This was definitely dunk of the year.... Legit 10 feet head at rim....

next i want to see dunk with head.....

i wouldn't put it past him.. hah.

ya this really is an incredible "dunk". dude is a dunk artist, that's for sure.

Just a few rap songs that have got me a bit hype the last few weeks, before training/races:

This is my #1 (drake's verse/hook), shit is solid af.

this video goes back to something we've talked about in the politics/gun thread .. it's actually surprisingly intense. Tory Lanez seems to go at the obsession with guns angle in the video, which is somewhat interesting for a rap video.

also, Ric Flair in a rap video ... lmao. kills it.

also heard this yesterday, some of it is solid .. video is interesting too: King's Dead

that's a solid video.... from an editing perspective.

the stuff @ ~2:00 on the roofs, is really sick. i love how they mix in the old video recordings too .. really solid.

i hate future's high pitch voice shit. such garbage. also the end sucks. other than that tho, decent hook/beat, hype.

dunk of the year thus far?

feel less beat up than yesterday, which is great, but still feeling some tweaks in my knees on occasion (lateral quad tendons/insertions).

my left hamstring tendon was bugging before my walk, then disappeared after my walk in that thick grass.

that thick grass walk made my legs feel really good.. it wasn't just thick grass but also some tall weeds etc, so I had to step over lots of stuff.. think it was a really nice combo.

nothing else to report!

really hoping my knees don't feel achy tomorrow .. just hoping this shit disappears. if it doesn't, need to take both sunday & monday off (sunday I have planned off, but monday will have to happen as well, and if still achy, tues & potentially wed ..)

i'm optimistic my legs will feel alot better tomorrow .. since they've been improving all day.

Man, watching this video I'm just like "these guys are really good at running." Like in the way that Federer is good at tennis. Not just winning games/winning races, but just making the act itself look amazing.

yup, very well said. agree 100%.

at that level, their legs look like propeller blades. to get them kind of ROM/cadence, they have to be moving incredibly fast. it's just beautiful to watch, and eventually try to emulate. hah.

but ya, looks incredible to me.. very mesmerizing to me, I can just get lost in the form. beautiful.
