Most of the class is working on technique. The padwork helps getting ripped as you go through roumds of throwing combos. Then there is sparring (grappling, striking, full mma). We also did conditioning running sprints, flipping tires, and hitting tires with sledgehammers. Then they also had us do you 10 minutes of as many rounds as possible of 10 burpees, 10 squats, 10 push ups, and 10 sit ups.

We need more skinny-fat models.

It would be more representative of the average buyer.

That's truly grueling. It is always good to see bodies that developed for functionality.

Anyway, to put this thread on track:

First MMM Gats. Loving them.

Would be really cool and useful to have several models modeling the same piece. Must be some software solution available for that? I have afriend that works at Looklet that i think do something like that (https://looklet.com/) but a bit unclear for me.

Models really never give me any idea of how something fits, 6´3 models in size medium, and im like "the measurements look kinda small for an XL..."

This is pretty typical. Dips and stuff on the athletic chair as well, and stair running in a stadium. Bear walking, pushin dogsleds, lots of different types of crunches and situps. Box jumps. Kettlebells. All high intensity, in intervals. Long, slow runs for that cardio.

The workouts are designed to build "functoral" strength, power, and muscular endurance. Carrying too muscle is generally seen as undesirable, since it taxes your cardio, and can also decrease fast twitch.

I fought lightweight and even feather (which was too taxing of a weight cut), bit the workouts are similar for all weight categories, heavyweight being somewhat different.

Japanese stores often do modeling on a few models of different sizes.

These have been in my Dream Box forever. Every time they get reduced I say, "Those are too tight. They won't fit." And now they went even lower and I bought them. Capitalism in a nutshell.

Boglioli

Lardini

Futuro (no idea what this brand is?)

I'm in London and I used to wear Doctor Martens so I decided to get a pair of Solovairs. I admit I'm not as active on this forum anymore so I don't know what the demographic is like, but I know we used to have a few members that had some sort of skinhead influence.

Anyway, I was originally going to get the smooth leather which is just a corrected grain, but after years of wearing some higher quality leather shoes (Crockett & Jones, Rancourt, Red Wing) it was painful to put anything on. The guy at the British Boot Company showed me this waxed leather option which had noticeably higher quality leather, and I was sold. Paid around 200 pounds for it, honestly quite expensive for what it was when Loake 1880 line costs that much, but I wanted a pair of Doctor Martens styled boots and these fit the bill.

Also less exciting, picked up a pair of Supergas in Navy. (not my picture)

And not my picture, but probably my biggest shoe purchase ever, a pair of Crockett & Jones

Pretty good shoe haul this past month
