Track & Field / Re: IAAF 2017 World Championships
« on: August 08, 2017, 09:59:06 am »Nice, they will be showing it on the bbc channels and online. Excited. Bolt not doing the 200m as he sees the risk of losing it is quite high. Should be exciting.
100m prospects: degrasse, gatlin (little to some chance), yohan blake recovering well, new american talent and usain bolt.
Then you have van neekirk and his blasting away the competitions in the 400m and breaking records. I don't see kirani james or the american guy keeping up with him.
I bet Bolt is kicking himself now after the 100m. Bolt is a phenomenal 100m sprinter but to me his 200m has always been where he is the standout as nobody can match his top speed and speed maintenance. However, most importantly getting a bad start is a lot less detrimental in the 200m in comparison to the 100 because you have the time to make up. Despite the loss Bolt is a legend.
I personally don't care at all if he lost, doesn't tarnish him at all IMHO. I mean it sucks but, I respect him more that he tried, rather than walking off into the sunset - i'm weird like that it seems. I guess I just like to see people keep competing as long as they are able AND they want to compete - the idea of retiring early just to walk off with some story book ending has always bugged me, in every sport.
I wish he did the 200m. He'd probably walk away with a W in 200m and 3rd in 100m. Played it somewhat safe by only doing 100m and now he doesn't have a chance to end it in the event he probably had the better chance to win, especially with Degrasse out.

it's a fair question for sure.. maybe not to bolt/gatlin/coleman in that moment, but, definitely a fair question overall.. times were getting insane, everyone running under 9.8, with 9.7's and 9.6's, even 9.5's for bolt.. all of that "fire" seemed to disappear. Now, a 9.8 and even a low 9.9 is back to winning everything.
so many people over the years got busted, including Tyson Gay & Gatlin himself, as well as several of Bolt's teammates.
Bolt's response was a bit over the top..
I still hope he's clean.

Also, Blake kinda just "shows up" in 2012..
Yeah I can understand the frustration though. Ever since the Ben Johnson saga the results have always been overshadowed with suspicion.
Blake got a suspension early in his career for using stimulants. He really came out of the shadows in 2011 when he won the World Champs after Bolt's infamous false start. Unfortunately for Blake he's just had a tumultuous time with injuries and as a sprinter to get to your peak you need to be injury free and sustain that. Michael Johnson apart from his speed and being up until recently the world's greatest 200/400m sprinter in history was very fortunate in that he was durable and didn't have many injuries along the way.
With regards to Gatlin of course I agree that it's a pity he has used PEDs in the past. However, you've got to admire his resilience to come back after 2 doping bans and still being a force in his mid 30's. A lot of other people would've received a 4 year ban and given it all away and nobody would blame them.
yup. def!

bw = 162
-- lmao
soreness = calves wrecked, shoulders wrecked (post delt the worst), hands wrecked (thumb pad especially)
status: sore af
"recovery":
- since i'm not adapted to walking lunges right now .. more like death session
- walking + walking lunges mixed in
highlighted lines are walking lunges, ie, the longest was ~4:30+ minutes. It's about 2 minutes per 80 lunges.
can kinda see my legs dying each "split" .. it really is nuts .. first set of lunges felt so easy, no problem, but as I started walking I could feel my quads/glutes/hamstrings fatiguing.. by the end, if itried to kneel down, my legs would shake. lmao. BW walking lunges are so weird.
walking lunges shouldn't kill me like that.. if they do, means i'm weak. I mean it's just a light bodyweight exercises, shouldn't matter if I throw some volume on it. Should just give me a good "pump" and then I should feel fine the next day..
I imagine i'll be sore af tomorrow.
been eating alot and taking in extra protein thru supps, probably one of the other reasons my weight isn't going down. legs def don't feel thin. was thinking i need to measure them one day. don't think they are close to dunking prime but, they are bigger than running prime.

Boxing / Re: Floyd Mayweather Thread
« on: August 06, 2017, 06:53:34 pm »
if I tune everyone out, and just look at Floyd pressing into the glove, it becomes pretty clear to me. There's no way people could push into that glove a few times and break it in like that.. That's like a glove that's been used for 10 years, ie, no padding.
That's some shady shit.. Def looks bad on Garcia & Maidana.
Floyd has been boxing his whole life .. his reaction is pretty genuine. He was genuinely like, "what the fuck?" heh.

Shoes / Re: No socks?
« on: August 06, 2017, 12:35:32 pm »anyone here run/sprint with no socks?
today i got a bunch of sand in my socks/shoes .. so I took my socks off and finished the 2nd half of the session without shoes, felt really good. I guess I also have the correct type of shoes to run barefoot in, the sole doesn't dig into my foot at all, no ridges etc. I'm speaking of my saucony's - Saucony Shay XC4.
i know some runners do it.. might try it out more.
i used to with VFF + ocassionaly in my inov8s --- it would make them stink so bad though which was the only really downside.
ah damn, i just remembered i'd go no socks with vibrams too.. hadn't even crossed my mind.
ya my vibrams stunk so bad too.
i've never done it in regular shoes until recently. I wonder if my flats will end up stinking as bad, they seem like a different substance inside.. less "rubbery".

LOMA is really pissing me off with the show boating and tapping marriaga on the head etc.. LOMA is doing some Broner shit, really annoying.
honestly, hope he gets KTFO'd.
good fight though, Marriage is playing it very defensive but he's throwing bombs on occasion.
