STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

I remember a whole damn riot almost broke out at a game back when I played.

Dudes at one end of the basket wanted to run full court. People at the other end were taking too long to finish their half court game. One of the full court dudes decided to take a basketball and throw it and hit somebody at the other end. It was on after that. Everybody met up at half court for some exchanges. Luckily enough cool heads kept things from turning into a malice at the palace situation. This was at a park, and there wasn't any security or other people around at the time.

People have gotten so weird it's almost not worth playing unorganized competitive sports with random strangers.

you know these dudes ain’t got nothing to lose when they’re risking it all for a pick up game

I played hoop a couple of months ago and blocked a dude's shot. His team won and after the game he still walked up to me to express his displeasure of my block on his shot.

Dude really wanted to fight over it I think it had to do with his gf watching the game.

Oh well.

People always wanted to fight me when I used to play at LA Fitness..

I was notorious for yelling this at the losing team..

Yea during prime hours say 4-7pm the bball courts would get full and you might have to wait an extra game before getting on. Then folks would get mad over every call or non call. Then argue about the score and other bs. I never saw actual fights break out but there were times it got close. I get why they have started removing courts in favor of this private personal trainer deal but still frustrating when the space isn't being used much. Folks already pay monthly dues and don't want to pony up extra for personal trainers or group sessions.

I just know somebody out there somewhere is going to try this and nearly kill themselves.

clocked in a bunch of PRs, kinda surprised because i hadn’t been in the gym all week & have been slacking the past couple weeks; took a bunch of caffeine (2 200mg pills+300mg energy drink, 2 scoops of pre workout @ 150mg per) & a larger dose of creatine beforehand in preparation to be proper tired for a flight later in the day (payed off for both the workout & the trip )…

hit 225 on bench for 12 reps (miscounted & thought i failed, previous was 10), also rep pr’d @ 240, 270, & 285. 300 moved fast so threw 315 & it was a grind & legs were all over place/not stable, tried it 2 more time & failed both

360 front squat & back squat 450 x2 was smooth, didn’t hit the depth i wanted for 510 but i’m counting it & failed 630 deadlift even tho i got the bar above my knees

progressing!

Here I am this morning spinning the ball on my finger in the living room.

I like to practice in high pressure situations.

Let me know what you think.

is your heart okay?

is your heart okay?

it reads more mental than it actually is because i don’t drink the preworkout & the energy drink at one time rather over the course of the session which on these type days runs 3-5+ hours

Been consistently going to train twice a day. Morning and evening class. The injuries are piling up.
