was going back and looking through my max speed posts, before i pulled my hamstring:
07/27/2016: 18.3 mph
http://www.adarq.org/progress-journals-experimental-routines/adarq's-journal/msg123131/#msg123131
then on 08/01/2016 I hit 17.9 mph and pulled my hamstring.. I did that 08/01 session too soon, should have gone submax for several sessions prior to getting anywhere near that effort again.
I'd really like to get over 20 mph .. but, I don't want to go max like I was in those sprints. So somehow I need to figure out how to bump up my max without going true max ... lmao. True max is a bit scary IMHO. I imagine just more sprinting, getting crazy lean, and getting stronger will push it up safely, without needing to go true max. So i'll just stay patient and try to bump it up slow.

Morning BW: 80.1kg
Notes
Ate a lot on Wednesday, unsurprisingly heavy on Thursday. Ate lighter, but still more than my usual aim, on Wednesday.
25-08-17
Morning BW: 79.6kg [back roughly where we'd expect]
Workout
Wide grip pullups
BW x 10 [pretty easy, only mild grind on reps 9 and 10]
OHP
Bar x 8
35 x 5
45 x 5
50 x 3
57.5 x 3
55 x 5
50 x 4
47.5 x 5
45 x 5
42.5 x 5
40 x 6
Incline Bench Press [only place to do this at the gym has a fixed bench, and it's set to ~45*, when I'm usually used to ~30*, so I did this differently to figure out where I stand]
50 x 8, 8, 6, 5, 5 [done EMOM, so ~30s rest between each set]
Dips
BW x 13, 12, 10, 9 [kinda of wrecked from EMOM inclines, unsurprisingly]
Lateral Raise
10 x 15, 13, 10
Bayesian Cable Curl
6.25 x 15, 13, 10
Diverging Pulldown
50 x 12, 12, 10
Treadmill - 1mi @ 4pm, 5% incline, 148 bpm [page out of KF's book here]
Notes
Nice to be back in the gym. Gtting a little frustrated at stagnation, but just got to take the long term view here. Cutting will be down in 4-8 weeks depending on focus. Once I'm look I'll look better, feel better and gains will come more readily, both aesthetics and strength-wise. Patience, patience, patience.
yup. patience^patience.

Really liked the cardio walk. I like that you just set it and forget and just let your legs do the work. Don't have an HR monitor, so I just used the treadmill's hand holds for it every now and then, maybe 5 readings through the 15 minutes.
hah nice!
Quote
My walking gait on the ground after finishing the treadmill walk felt amazing.
ya man, i've had a few of those after PR-attempt walks where it feels alien-like, every step you're just flying & feel so light. that kind of feeling made me more intrigued with it.
Quote
Been doing a lot of walking (with and without my dogs), so NEPA has been good despite relative lack of cardio recently.

« on: August 25, 2017, 05:45:36 pm »Ok, so something like the following would be a good contest:
1) First person to increase SVJ by 45% (me) and 20% (you) in 1 year. You would have to reach roughly 37in svj, while I would have to reach 35in. If neither reach it than, whoever is proportionally closer.
Winner gets bragging rights and a dinner gift certificate.

Sounds like a bet. Video with height reference verified by adarq.org community for measurements. Good luck sir.

Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: Do not take D-aspartic Acid.....
« on: August 25, 2017, 05:42:36 pm »It supposedly increases your testosterone level, but it also hurts the liver. I used to take it back in 2012 and when I went to get a blood test in 2014, it dramatically increased my liver enzymes (meaning I had some damage to the liver)
http://www.livestrong.com/article/313267-side-effects-of-aspartic-acid/
damn.. you ever get it checked again?
stuff like this is why i stay away from most supps. i'm taking some whey now and I still worry somewhat. I personally wouldn't try fat burners, test boosters, or those kinds of things. I especially stay away when I see tons of stuff in the ingredient label.
I've known people who just want to "try everything", I really don't get it. Some of the stuff they take, years later we find out it can be lethal, like DNP or whatever that crazy lethal fat burner is: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3381099/Father-nearly-died-overdosing-diet-pills-gain-beach-body.html

bw = 158
soreness = right calf slightly
aches/injuries = left PF barely, right quad tendon barely
stepups:
- 3 PM
- 650 in 48 minutes
- 13 x 50 non stop
- +150 better than last session in 2 less minutes
- still tough but way better than last time
- edit: biggest improvement is how fast my HR recovered after I was done .. last time it didn't drop under 115 IIRC after 5 minutes .. this time it dropped to ~88 after a few minutes.
walk:
- 8:30 PM
- 6.x miles in ??
- pretty fast .. cut it short, got late
- last mile fast (sub 13)

Boxing / Re: Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Conor McGregor
« on: August 25, 2017, 04:42:19 pm »
something I posted elsewhere:
It’s going to look alot like the Floyd vs Gatti fight, which was a massacre. However, Conor doesn’t have anywhere near Gatti level heart, we all saw him fold against Nate in their first fight. Gatti would have fought to the death had Buddy McGirt not stopped it.
The speed advantage (hand speed, feet, defense) for Floyd is going to be absolutely insane. Conor will be very aggressive the first few rounds but he won’t touch Floyd, and Floyd will hit him with some massive body shots. By round 3, being frozen by not being able to touch Floyd, in combination with those body shots, Conor will be completely neutralized. Floyd will then look to take Conor’s chin off with some massive shots. I don’t see any way this fight goes past 6 rounds. This fight will most likely end with Conor’s corner throwing in the towel, but I believe there’s a good chance that Conor goes down on a body shot and basically quits. My preferred ending would be to see Conor floored a few times from body shots, him getting up & continuing, then Floyd feinting to the body & catching Conor clean on the chin with a lead right + left hook combo, knocking him out cold.
The only thing i’m worried about is Floyd toying with Conor too much, extending the fight. Not in the sense that it opens up Floyd for more risk. I just want to see Floyd truly try and hurt Conor without holding back.
If Conor shows some true will to win against Floyd, i’ll be impressed. I give him one round with that mentality, until he realizes what he’s really in there with. Then I fully expect to see him fold and try to survive, which will be absolutely impossible & a horrible move strategically. He’s just going to get picked apart. Furthermore, you know damn well Dana White wants Conor to fight in the UFC again… They are basically throwing him in to the wolves with this fight - and risk their “product” being severely damaged. That’s another reason I don’t expect Conor to “fight to the death”.
Post fight interview prediction:
Conor: I kewdn’t get up. I tried. That fookin shot landed right on me liver. I’m sorry I let me fans down but I just couldn’t fookin get up. I said i’d knock Floyd out in tree rounds and I really tried. But fook, what can you do. I hold me head up and I gave it me best. Floyd is the better boxer but If he wants to step into the octagon i’ll sleep him fast, everybody knows that.
:/
At the end of this event, Floyd will be 49-0-0 not 50-0-0, with 1 circus win that doesn’t count against a guy who had no place being in the boxing ring with him.

bw = ?
- no scale
soreness = hamstrings slightly, quads slightly, right calf alot (
)
-- right calf is sore but, not wrecked like it was the first time I ran in spikes at the track ... so i think it's adapting
aches/injuries = left PF slightly
feel WAAAAY better than yesterday .. yesterday I was destroyed. Still pretty sore / dead but, complete rest today will do me good. Tomorrow (Friday) we are back at it. Curious to see what I weigh tomorrow morning .. probably 157-158.
Some flan I had yesterday & today, really solid ... from an Argentinean restaurant.
