    Is the first half of a run all mental

    I'm confused if this is a race or not? A two or 3-mile race is pretty tactical. You need to 'maintain contact' with the fast starter. Meaning you can't let them get such a lead that there's no way of catching them. But, if they start too fast, then you have to let them go and hope they burn...

    Obesity skews the national average in weight

    I guess I was a bit off with the weight. I was kind of thinking of 18 year olds because men naturally gain muscle for a long time after they stop growing taller. And the only practical reason for nation wide population level data would be the draft. The intellectually curious part of the...

    Obesity skews the national average in weight

    Yeah, I don't know how much people weigh. I was imagining an 18 year old on the first day of WWII. I remember being 175 at 16 and I was plenty strong with my 225x2.5 bench.

    Obesity skews the national average in weight

    I know what you're really asking... The correct size for a human male is 5'10" and 150lbs. That's what you'd want your army filled with, or your crew of ditch diggers. I've thought about it, and it seems to me that being bigger than that is a niche. As a case study, if you've ever worked with a...

    The S&C-related Studies Thread

    I'm not saying the earth is flat. I'm just saying it's funny that we don't really know.

    POWERFUL cardio exercises?

    Nah man, anyone could do it if they stayed dedicated, were never satisfied, and were willing to sacrifice, and suffer. I'm just a regular guy. Nothing special about me. I just hope when others look at me they get inspired to really go for it... really, really go for it.

    Sprints, what better: 5x400 metres or 5x800?

    Thanks for saving me from doing that IRL.

    Sprints, what better: 5x400 metres or 5x800?

    I was trying to say that it's acceptable to call the 400 and the even the 800 a sprint. I've given up on that because theirs a high probability of doing more harm then good by muddying the waters. You can just call the 400 and 800 the 400 and 800. If anyone wants to put them in their own...

    Sprints, what better: 5x400 metres or 5x800?

    As an event, or as a time trial this is a semantic argument people have had a lot. I come down on the "it's a sprint side" because I think it's a test of speed, and less of a test of endurance. In the context of training I actually agree with you guys. When I write 'sprints' in a training plan...

    Sprints, what better: 5x400 metres or 5x800?

    Yeah, I get that. If you want to define a sprint as flat out with no pacing then I can't argue. But I think a more useful definition is a pace where your legs are the point of failure. I like that because you can feel the difference between putting yourself in a huge oxygen debt, and burning...

    Sprints, what better: 5x400 metres or 5x800?

    Yes they are. I get why people say they aren't. You never hit top speed in a well run 400m, and defiantly not in a 800m. But you can keep your science. So it shall be written, a sprint is 800m and anything under.

    POWERFUL cardio exercises?

    I had to google them right now. I've always just done them intuitively. All the truly elite come to the drag curl one way, or another.

    Over training

    If your performance in the gym hasn't tanked then I can't imagine that its over-training. But you're playing with fire when you train multiply aspects of fitness at once. I'd want more info, but if you're like most people I've known that run 1 mile as a part of their training I'd guess you...

    So it happened.

    I can't see the video, but I agree with what you're saying. I think that's all true. But I've seen a lot of cartoon versions of what you're saying. But for what its worth, I don't think it was the game plan to wait for McGregor to tire out. I think it was to wait until Conor gives all his big...

    Robbie Lawler vs Rory Macdonald II

    I remember a thread about this after the fight.

    What are you talking about? We're not even in the same ballpark right now.

    So it happened.

    I don't know why anyone is taking what Floyd says seriously. He's the king of "I meant to do that". Yeah... Conor got tired just as Floyds post fight prediction predicted. Actually, Floyd made Conor get tired by giving up rounds. Actually, Floyd didn't even lose those round. He only appeared to...

    So it happened.

    I'm so glad the world still makes sense to everyone. Boxers beat MMA fighters at boxing. Nothing to see here. Nothing to note. Just keep navigating life at the lowest resolution you can get away with.

    Me Sparring

    @Sano It doesn't help that it looks like Jeff is unsatisfied with TJ attempts.. I was thinking it might be for when a guy runs at you like he's Vitor Belfort. It would be crazy if the mayweders have something for that.
