some physique photos just in case I don't make it out alive from Irma (on Sunday).. here's my current progress towards ~140 @ 6% body fat:

~150, ~11% maybe? haven't posted one of these in a long time..... getting back to ripped nation.

edit: shorts a bit low but whatever, physique shot. next time need to wear em a bit higher. I guess I wore em` lower subconsciously for teh "physique shot", but just looks too low.





also, have I mentioned to you how much I love grape fruit?? :D



that's my spoon today as i'm slurping down grapefruit juice.. BLISS.

Mayweather vs mcgregor fell short of the gate attendance record, I never trusted ellerbe from day 1 all he does he talk shit. Ellerbe claimed that during the day leading up to the fight they already had made 60mil in gate revenue.

Quote
But the information provided to Ellerbe was not accurate, as the Nevada State Athletic Commission confirmed to multiple outlets that Mayweather-McGregor brought in a gate of $55,414,865.79 in ticket sales.
The record is still held strong by Mayweather-Pacquiao with $72,198,500 - and that contest took place at the smaller MGM Grand Garden Arena.
...
Mayweather-McGregor had an official attendance of 13,231 (13,094 sold and configured to seat 17,698) - a few thousand short of a sell-out, but many had felt the tickets were heavily overpriced. In the other corner, Mayweather-Pacquiao sold all 16,219 tickets the minute they went on sale

Now the reality comes out and the split in the kovalev camp comes out.

Quote
“Right now by the way it looks now, I am not his trainer anymore.  I was there for the rematch because there really wasn’t anything for us.  Adonis hadn’t stepped up to the plate.  That was the logical fight for him," Jackson said.
“I knew for the second fight that Ward was going to crowd him, if you give Sergey distance you’re in trouble, Ward is a very intelligent fighter so he knew going into the second fight that he had to crowd Sergey. I knew that we could have won the rematch but Sergey started making money, getting big headed and he didn’t want to train hard anymore.  Every camp was worse and worse."

man you could just see it with Kovalev/Jackson in the last fight.. it's a damn shame. I believe Jackson is telling the truth too, Kovalev not training like he used to, success getting in his head. I got those vibes the last few fights, and he just didn't seem as focused. Ward shut his career off :/ Some fighters can lose and it's no problem .. those dudes are warriors. Kovalev basically seems done. sucks.

noob bodybuilder types are always yapping about how big dudes don't run, running sucks, etc etc.. i've personally seen quite a few really big dudes at 5k races. I doubt they drop an impressive time, but that's probably not the point. They are either trying to beat their own PB, just enjoy races/running events, or are running with a family member/child etc. Bottom line, they are probably doing themselves a ton of good by getting in some real cardio.

Also, some of these crossfit dudes are pretty big and they have to run "ok/decent" because of crossfit competitions.

this thread is just for the occasional photo/link for a "jacked runner".

Going to try a new style of progress tracker: monthly, embedded into my journal posts. Obviously this should be something fancy/amazing by now but, will make do with this. Also, going to go "across" rather than down, so it all fits into one small block.

TBH, I really like this so far.. even though I only have a few data points thus far. :D

Bummer about the race,

ya bad timing, but definitely glad they cancelled it. Imagine a bunch of idiot runners doing a 5k in serious wind, the morning of a Hurricane, taking up police/firefighter resources lmfao.

but the hat is super dope.

thnx! i'm actually going to get another one soon .. I wanted one of those "straw hats", something like this:



going to head back soon and get one of those.. it's bigger than the hat I got so it'll block even more sun.

Saturday's race cancelled as expected.

got a nice new hat for sunny walks:



shields me well!





09/05/2017

bw = 153
soreness = shoulders alot, hamstrings severe, adductors slightly, calves severe (more tightness than soreness, especially up at the origin of the gastrocs), tibs/peroneals very tight, feet slightly
aches/injuries = none
feel = destroyed

wakeup = 6 AM
:headbang:
- but.. only got 5 hours sleep, and I could really feel it all day .. I think I was tighter all day because of it .. I never got that restorative REM cycle.
- dog woke me up, basically dry heaving onto me. thought he was going to puke on me so I had a little adrenaline rush and got him off the bed .. amp'd me up so decided to stay up and help reset sleep sched

^^ only good news of today


diet:
- water w/ lemon
- fasted walk
- protein+water, water w/ lemon, coconut water drink
- 4 x sweet corn + tons of brussels sprouts + serrano + avocado, 3 x banana, half of starbucks premade coffee drink
- whole foods: berry smoothie with whey protein, cookie
- dog walk
- milk+protein, 3 x san francisco sourdough bread (this is so damn good, from whole foods .. try it if you have access)
- water w/ lemon


stretch:
- random calf/quad/soleus/hamstring throughout the day .. just can't help it when i'm this tight
- DONT DO THIS  :pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :pissed: :pissed:
- it just doesn't do anything



fasted walk:
- 7 AM
- 9.2 mi in 2h:20m
- dead beyond belief .. legs toast
- scary: tib ants actually cramped up .. in mile 8 .. never had that happen to me before. VERY SCARY. That shit felt nuts.. felt like I wasn't going to be able to make it home.. but it'd come and go very briefly. Hopefully there's no side effects from my tibs/peroneals being wrecked towards the end of the walk, like some kind of splints forming etc.
- so jump rope destroyed me yesterday.. calves are completely dead, hamstrings are "re-jacked" up.
- it's crazy, I used to jump rope like that basically every day when I boxed.. I was fine.. damn I was in good shape.

decent times for how bad I felt early on, but last 2 miles I fell off bad.. couldn't walk any faster.. everything short circuited.





dog walk:
- 3.5 mi
- felt much better, but legs still dead
- hamstrings more dead than anything
- felt my tibs slightly at times, but good sign that they didn't freak out .. though, I didn't walk nearly as long in distance. The walk itself was nearly 2 hours because of how many stops the dogs make.

Got the "mallet" finger checked today. Not have a much nicer splint but have been warned off any barbell work for the next 8-12 weeks  :'(

Im thinking stretching, running and a nice weight cut might be the way to go. GIve me a good place to rebound from once I'm allowed back into it. Also, a dedicated 8-12 should be enough for front splits and a good tilt at side splits too.  I have been told I can do some light machine type work as long as I don't have to close the hand around the handle given the force applied through all fingers even if I'm gripping with only a few.

Edit- weight cut = current weight of 93 to sub 88.

damn 8-12 weeks :/

nice though - could get alot of this other stuff done in 8-12 weeks. Could do a serious "scoobychau weight cut" while getting some good miles in running .. as far as running goes, hands should always be relaxed, so hopefully there's no problems there. Just need to start out really light at first, see i the finger can handle it.

You might look like "Van Damme" in 8-12 weeks.

Yeah I know right. 8 weeks in the splint then another 4 or so weening off it.

I'm thinking a serious cut. Also reading your journal got me thinking what better time to get some miles in and get super low so that when I can add everything back in I'll be at a great base to launch from.

hah nice!!

Haha I need JCVD's glutes though. I'm becoming slightly obsessed with getting some glutes going on. Never had an ass and now's the time.

With the back it's all hip flexor related. Loosen them up and the back is sweet. Walking is highly underrated and I used to do a lot more than I do now.

Damn back pain. No running this morning.

Amazing how much back pain is due to hip flexors for me. Back seized up during the night. Settled down after some stretching but not good enough to go training on it. Might hit up some yoga tonight instead.

also, what would you be willing to do as far as "ADL" goes, when trying to improve hip flexor flexibility? to me, that's one of the biggest problems.. we can do a bunch of things to loosen them up, but then we go sit down for hours a day. Would you do anything on that front? That's been one of the hardest things for me to commit to, standing desk and such.

pc!
