No, i mean unrealistic.
Correct me if i am wrong, according to what i read and how i had it in mind too, unreal = dreamlike, unrealistic = not like expected.
The bar has a diverse feeling overall after the halfs. It feels like it is a hollow plastic bar that i can break in half if i want. The whole feeling i get touching the bar and having it on my back and adjusting it with my hands is unrealistic compared to the normal feel of a 20kg steel bar.

you are half right. unreal does mean something like dreamlike, although obviously the connotations are different and you wouldn't use them in exactly the same way. but unrealistic doesn't mean unexpected, means very unlikely to occur in reality. the most common way i can think of it being used is in relation to expectations: e.g., "imagining costa rica will win the world cup is pretty unrealistic." something along those lines.

that's also not a correct way to use "diverse," you should just say "different" there. but i'm not really sure what you mean by unrealistic in that context. it feels fake compared to the way it feels normally?

-Awesome. Still can't get over how light the bar felt, it was so unexpected.

Fixed.

Feel free to add as many o's as you like to "so"

lol, no, i was not referring to the unexpected feeling. It was unexpected too but it was not what i wanted to note.
What i wanted to note was that the bar feel was not realistic. To a point that i am worried i might get injured from that 'fake' feeling of its weight.
Here is the definition of realistic that i had in mind:

Quote

realistic (comparative more realistic, superlative most realistic)

Expressed or represented as being accurate. [quotations ▼]
A realistic appraisal of the situation.

Relating to the representation of objects, actions or conditions as they actually are or were.
A realistic novel about the Victorian poor.

Indeed and yes.

Ok, back to S&C mode now.

29 June 2014

Bodyweight@session : forgot to check
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

1,6km ( 1 mile ) STEADY PACE JOGGING:
Total time = 9 minutes 20 seconds
Average speed = 10,25km/h ( +0.47kmh ) ,

, also broke the 10km/h barrier.
Pace = 5 minutes 51 seconds per km ( -17 seconds per km ) ,

, also broke the 6 mins per km barrier.
-Nice. I did feel a bit off ( tired/sleepy ), so extra happy with the improvement.

5 minutes rest

100m TEMPO RUNS ( 1 minute rest between runs ):
10x100m@50%
-Times around 23-24 seconds. Feeling a bit off here too, was 1-2 seconds slow too compared to recent performance.

3 minutes rest

1x100m@100% : 16:20
Having 16 seconds 100m PR = pathetic.
Being able to match it on a bad day after a mile run and 10x100m tempos = encouraging.

Raptor · « **Reply #2224 on:** June 30, 2014, 06:13:21 am »

Have these tempo runs had any effect on your bodyweight in your opinion, or was it just nutritional adjustments?

vag · « **Reply #2225 on:** June 30, 2014, 06:56:28 am »

Hm, I would say that the weight loss itself so far was 90% achieved through caloric deficit.
The tempos may have played some minimum role in creating that deficit. Mostly ( i hope ) they aided in the 'quality' of the cut, helping raise the fat% of the lost weight.
I use those tempo workouts as a fat-burner with some added benefits from the up-tempo.
Ideally, instead of them i would want to do 45 minutes of fast walking. But i would die from boredom. Tempos are so much more fun and time-efficient.

30 June 2014

Bodyweight@session : ~85kg , ties season low
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

ME RIM JUMPS:
SVJ : max = 27'' , ties season best!
Dropstep : max = 30,5'' SEASON BEST!
1-step-DLRVJ : max = 31'' , ties season best!
2-steps-DLRVJ : max = 31'' , ties season best!
Full runup DLRVJs : max = 31'' , ties season best!

Awesomeness : runup/plant/jump was very fluid, the horizontal-to-vertical energy transfer felt very efficient.
Getting 10'5'' / 30'' was way too easy, almost effortless. 10'6'' / 31'' was repeatable.
Sadly i couldn't get a season PR except from that one dropstep.
Limiting factor was traction because of the very dusty concrete and my worn out Kobes. Gotta fix both those issues, i am on it.

You beast!

Pic of yesterday's half squats depth:

Do you guys think they may be too high? I think that, granted they are used for peaking and not strength building, this is an ideal depth, around 90 degrees knee angle.

Raptor · « **Reply #2230 on:** July 02, 2014, 09:03:14 am »

Nah they look great. But why that face?

vag · « **Reply #2231 on:** July 02, 2014, 09:11:30 am »

The ninja face? It means "thanks for calling me a beast but i am not even close to it"

Raptor · « **Reply #2232 on:** July 02, 2014, 11:15:52 am »

No no, the "this bar is so heavy" face

vag · « **Reply #2233 on:** July 02, 2014, 11:29:47 am »

Ohhhh, i don't know, there is a wild crazy chance that it was because the bar was so heavy.
