Back on the belly fat reduction journey again. Waist was at 33" and now its 37" and I try to reduce intake of eating breakfast at 7am and then eating again at 5pm (crisps, chocolate, I try and limit amount I eat) and then tea snacks at 6pm if hungry and did not eat much at 5pm else I eat next at 10pm.

So will switch it up to intermittent fasting, morning ab workout and 1 scoop diet whey protein while continuing my weight and speed training.

I did try contact him on Facebook page, but now that page has been removed. I don't think he wants to be found or contacted by us.

Hamstring still feeling tight and if stretched is sore, so doing 2 point start, leaning over I can feel it in my hamstring.

So did some single leg tuck jumps and light sprint runs.

Paramount global to shut down showtime sports network and will not be broadcasting boxing fights by end of 2023. This is friggin huge, like HBO removing sports coverage some years ago.

Quote
BoxingScene.com has confirmed that Paramount Global, the parent company of Showtime and BoxingScene.com, will eliminate Showtime Sports as a department by the end of this year. Sports Business Journal first reported the news Tuesday afternoon.

The premium cable network has televised boxing since March 1986, when it aired Marvin Hagler’s 11th-round knockout of John Mugabi, and it has remained one of the sport’s most prominent platforms for nearly four decades. Showtime has had a particularly successful run since it signed Floyd Mayweather to an exclusive six-fight deal for the undefeated superstar to headline its pay-per-view shows in February 2013.

Paramount Global’s decision was based on the company focusing exclusively on scripted programming moving forward and eliminating eight-figure annual budgets previously allocated for live sports, primarily “Showtime Championship Boxing” and Bellator, an MMA promotional company that Paramount Global also owns. The positions of nearly 40 employees in Showtime Sports will be eliminated after December 29.

By December, Showtime and HBO, the sport’s two most prominent platforms for many years, will have exited the sport five years apart. HBO announced that it would stop televising boxing in September 2018 and aired its last live show in December of that year.

   accelerate, sprint, float - 70m total x 2 @75 to 85% effort
   
   sled sprints
      Note: just want to mention that I have to consciously keep knee bent during acceleration to get good technique and some practice to try maintain that till I am upright then it becomes easier when knee drives up but bringing it out more difficult as leg has tendency to kick out.
      - 2 x 10m sled sprints @40kg followed by unresisted sprints

      - 1 x 30m sled sprints @20kg followed by unresisted sprints - from 10m to 30m, I didn't get enough chance to get up, I think I may have forced staying low at 15m.

Leg day:

Low bar squat:

20x5x2
60x5
80x3
100x2
110x1
100x4,3,3

Dumbbell BSS:

10x8,6

Bodyweight: 94 kg

Comments:

First time squatting over 100 kg in 8 years. The dumbbell Bulgarian split squats were surprisingly difficult, although they did come right after squats so I was already tired. Vert is in the ~24 inch range, but I'm not trying to jump at this weight since it's pretty dangerous and my right knee is acting up.

PS. It would've been nice to still be able to use my old log and read through it.

Hey, welcome back mate.  :highfive:  :welcome:

Taping balls behind the calves gives a different impression to sprinting, when doing the sprint starts I felt the lack of the closing of the knee angle and felt when I closed it as much as I could during the starts the more power I was putting into the ground. Will record see how they look.

Soreness: shins due to a lot of running

Condition: Normal day, got to the gym late 6:15pm and have to leave at 8:15pm, 2 hours for track and gym session, didn't do much gym session. might have to rush the track session.

Warm up
   cycle machine
   activation and mobility stretch
   track warm up

Workout
   note: taped on small balls behind knees, mental cue to keep knees closed tight
   Sleds - wanted to do it on grass, slippery, so put on spikes and did it on track
      - 3 x 10m - 20kg plate

   unloaded sprints for 10m

   single leg tuck jumps on sand to avoid irritating shin, the sled and runs caused the shin pain

   walking lunges for 10m x 3 @25kg dumbbells in each hand

   that's all

cool down
   stretch

After analysing my video upto 60m, the times were the same for powerful, quick and comfortable.

But I think the quick version was better. But the strides upto 10m for all was 8.

At 60m, I was running at under 8 m/s and 10m split time upto 60m was 1.35, which is really slow. need to do more 60m sprints, there were over striding going on too.
