Finnegan's Wake

Super. Are you going to quit quit drinking too?

Yes - of course.

 

[Bubble Boy]

It's only $140 plus the price of a ticket for me to get to Finnys fight. Every group of party guys needs a geeky small dude... BUT HOLY FUCK, it's like a 10 hour flight with 2 lay overs.

 

[Centaur]

it really is all about that rear foot driving and that lead hip popping.

Sounds just like my coach.

 

[finnegan]

Cool. Thanks guys.


Warning: Ghey Alert ahead:





I'm thinking of wearing a tail when I practice jabs so I can see it swinging forward or not to help remind me of the footwork.

 

[AbdominalSnoman]

Pics!

 

[Centaur]

Odd, never seen that one before.

You think of that yourself?

 

[finnegan]

Yep. Wonder if it works.

 

[Centaur]

What kind of tail exactly? Like a leopard print spring tail or something? Cause if so, you have to post pics.

Give it shot though, you may have come across a new training tool that would be really helpful for working on teh Jabz.

 

[finnegan]

No pics shall be taken or posted unless zop is ip banned first.

 

[zop]

This tail idea will help me my sex life.
Thank you Fin.

Impressions:
Seems like my recent switchover to complexes has started to pay off.
I can really tell a difference in my explosiveness as far as legs go, and it looks like its starting to pay off in pressing as well.
Went a little light on the box squats since I did a core circuit earlier today.
Also: I weighed 228 post workout. It was muggy but I was rehydrating as well. I'm fairly sure that I can sweat out 5 lbs of water and not even feel it if I need to in order to make weight on same day weigh ins (still don't know if they are day of or night before)..

i think that it's time to start implementing complexes such as this before naga. with the fight coming, are you still planning on competing?

 

[finnegan]

No, unfortunately I won't be able to make it to NAGA I was partially relying of getting a ride from a teammate, but since we are basically all fighting, no one is going.

 

[Devil's_Advocate]

Awesome job Finny.

Zop you crack me up.

 

[finnegan]

Thanks DS. The push press is slowly coming along. The 185 x 3's went up faster than the last time I did these. I may yet break that 225 ceiling before summer.
I guess I should also note that the PP was done without a belt.

A good call on your part, too, you'll want to rest up for the following weekend.

 

[RedNeckJiuJitsu]

Guys, I'm getting some first pick tickets for this. It'll be 20 for general admission, 25 for 2nd row, and 30 for front row. As soon as I get confirmation I'm on the card, I'll try to secure some for anyone who shows up.
If you guys can stay in thea area, I've got some crash space for an afterparty as well.

If I come up to watch your fight, i dont really wanna drive the 3 hours back to Nashville that night, so that's good. lol. Make sure to lemme know. Not sure if I can afford to come train with ya and come watch ya fight. Prolly will be one or the other. Puttin' gas in my truck sucks... lol.

 

[finnegan]

Yeah, I understand John. I'm loving my Ford Festiva right now.

In other news: My blood is clean. Now its up to the promoters to match me up w/ someone.

Funny. I always though a Festiva only had enough balls to move maybe one person who weighed no more than a buck 20...

My best friend's girlfriend in high school (now his wife) had a hatchback geo metro. 3 cylinder. It was a gutless wonder. We piled 9 people into that thing one day while skipping school.
