Justine Henin Vs. Elena Dementieva Live Streaming

Justin Henin and Elena Dementieva blitzed their first-round opponents, two sacrificial lambs who already have been lost to history. Which means just one thing:

Let’s get ready to ruuuuuuuummmble!

That’s right, in just the second round, two serious contenders for the Australian Open crown are set to meet. The survivor — and make no mistake, this will be a sword-clanging, dirt-tossed-in-the-eyes battle — is going to come out bloodied b

ut exhilarated. Expect her to charge confidently into the semifinals at the very least, despite being in a very difficult quarter.

So which one will it be? Both women looked pretty good during their warm-up laps. Henin, in her first tournament in 18 months, slugged her way to the Brisbane final, where she came very close to beating Kim Clijsters. Dementieva, meanwhile, slapped aside Serena Williams to win in Sydney.

Even though she’s still getting used to being in a locker room again, the

unseeded Henin has to be considered the favorite, for one simple reason: She has a lot more experience winning big matches. She knows there’s a shockingly empty feeling that comes with holding up a Grand Slam trophy — all these years of hitting tennis balls and this is it? — and so she’s not out on court looking for validation or love. She’s doing it simply to feel that sweet pressure in the lungs when you hit a ball just right, that incorruptible feeling of youth and beauty and lightnes

s. Oh, yeah, and to win Wimbledon. Which is six months away. The seven-time Grand Slam champion is still in preparation mode, feeling her oats — and that makes her very dangerous.

The 28-year-old Dementieva, on the other hand, hasn’t yet won a major, having come up short in two finals (way back in ’04) and innumerable semis. The Beijing Olympics was a glorious win for her — and a very big thing back home in Russia. But it’s still not one of the Big Four. In the tennis world, the world in which she lives, it’s about comparable to winning Rome — a nice piece of work, but not exactly Geronimo’s scalp.

And yet … I’m picking Dementieva. Part of this is simply a journalist’s personal preference (even though we’re not supposed to have them). I interviewed Henin a few years ago, and she was polite and politic and … well, impenetrable. Of course, Justine’s no more unknowable to outsiders than, say, Rafa or Roger, but at least Rafa and Roger give off unmistakable hints of being human. Same goes for Dementieva. She’s lived happily in the shadow of the more glamorous blond Russian, Maria Sharapova, her entire mature career (she reached her two major finals the same year Maria won Wimbledon). She treats fans with respect, shyly signing autographs for anyone who asks. And, most endearingly, she made everyone feel her pain back in the days when she hit a serve like a walrus slapping high-fives. Having the fifth-seeded Dementieva’s name etched onto the winner’s cup two Sundays from now would make this the feel-good Slam of the year.

I’m also picking her because she’s playing better tennis than Henin right now. And that, in the end, should be the determining factor. It almost always is when the top men play. It’s time for that to be the case for the ladies, too.

Over-training is very common amongst athletes and particularly bodybuilders, since they figure that training as much as possible is the fastest way to massive muscle gains. This couldn’t be any further from the truth however, training too much, or at too high of an intensity will lead to over-training.

Now this doesn’t mean you don’t have to put plenty of effort in to see some decent results. Whether you are a bodybuilder, athlete, or just someone that wants to add some additional mass to y

our frame, you need to train hard and be consistent-that’s a given. In order to get the most out of your genetics, you have to progressively overload the muscles by increasing the weight and / or intensity of each weight training workout.

The problem is however, that many of us increase the intensity of our workouts or get insufficient amounts of rest, or even worse, a combination of both. The trick is finding the right balance between workout volume and intensity, and rest and recovery. And

that is exactly what I’ll cover in this article.

The Effects of Over-Training on Bodybuilders

First, let’s take a look at some of the effects of over-training and how one can prevent over-training from happening in the first place.

The Effects of Over-training on the Nervous System

Over-training effects both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems in the following negative ways:

Higher resting heart rate Weak appetite High blood pressure Weight loss Trouble sleeping Incre

ased metabolic rate Irritability Early onset of fatigue. If you are experiencing more than one of the symptoms outlined above, you may be in a state of over-training, and should evaluate your routine as soon as possible.

The Effects of Over-training on Hormone Levels

Many studies have indicated that over-training negatively effects the levels of hormones, as well as the hormone response in the body. Since hormones play such an important role in the muscle building process, this can have a detrimental effect on your training progress.

Over-training has been show to:

Decrease testosterone levels Decrease thyroxine levels Increase cortisol levels. The increase in cortisol levels along with the decrease in testosterone levels is a deadly combination, since this leads to protein tissue break down. This will ultimately lead to a loss of muscle tissue. The effects of over-training on the Immune System perhaps one of the most alarming repercussions of over-training is it’s negative impact on the immune system-you’re bodies first defense against harmful viruses and bacteria.

Over-training can drastically decrease the levels of antibodies and lymphocytes in your body, making you much more susceptible to illness. Simply put, this means that if you are in a state of over-training, you are much more likely to get sick. Since you will have to skip workouts while you are sick, your muscle building progress will slow considerably.

The Effects of Over-training on the Metabolic System

Here is a list of how over-training can effect the metabolic system. These symptoms are the ones that are most commonly discussed, and are ones we can’t ignore:

Micro tears in the muscle Chronically depleted glycogen levels Slow, weak muscle contractions Depleted creatine phosphate stores Excessive accumulation of lactic acid Extreme DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) Tendon and connective tissue damage So you must get the point by now. Over-training effects the entire body, and can seriously impact the results of your muscle building program.

Is it Worse to Over-Train With Cardio or Weight Training?

Any form of over-training is a bad thing, however, I’ve personally experienced both types of over-training and can honestly say that over-training in the weight room is much worse, and much more prevalent than over-training through cardiovascular training.

Here are some of the reasons why:

In order to grow, muscles must fully recover from their last workout, every workout. If you are over-training and work the muscles before they have fully recovered, you will break down the muscle tissue before it has rebuilt-making it impossible to build muscle! Over-training with weights makes you more susceptible to nervous systems hormone and immune system issues, which all pose serious health risks.

It can lead beginners down the wrong path, perhaps wasting money on unnecessary supplements, or even worse, steroids. I personally believe that only competitive athletes

Russian tennis player and former world number one Maria Sharapova had a surprise loss against her compatriot Maria Kirilenko in the first round of the Australian Open in Melbourne. Kirilenko won 7-6, 3-6, 6-4 in three hours and 22 minutes, marking the first time her rival was eliminated so early in a Grand Slam circuit. Sharapova was unable to defend her title in the Australian Open in 2009 due to a shoulder injury; then, this Monday, she seemed hardly the shadow of the player who, two years ago

, won the crown without dropping a set. She contributed to her own defeat with 66 unforced errors and 11 double faults. Kirilenko – 58th in the WTA – was secure in the match from the beginning, constantly annoying Sharapova – 14th in the WTA – with deep backhand strokes. Sharapova lost the first set after a tiebreak that left both players fighting for the set. In the end, however, Kirilenko won the set with a score of 7-6 (7-4), taking advantage of Sharapova’s mistakes. However, the 20

08 Australian Open champion recovered her game in the second and broke Kirilenko’s serve to win the set 6-3. Nevertheless, in the third set, Kirilenko returned to control the game with her backhand strokes and escaped with a 4-1 advantage. Sharapova came back in the score with a 4-5, but Kiriklenko managed to take the match after Sharapova made a mistake at the end of the set. The third set ended 6-4, and the match went to Kirilenko. At the end of the match, Sharapova stated that she didn’t

have any excuses for her loss and said that her compatriot played better and was more in control of her game than herself. The Russian also claimed that she had chances to win the game but that she didn’t take advantage of those opportunities. “I just didn’t win the match. You know, bottom line. I certainly had my chances and just didn’t execute. You know, I felt like, when she was up and then I’d get back there, back in the game, I just didn’t take advantage of that and let her control the situation again,” Sharapova said. Some have speculated that Sharapova’s shoulder injury, combined with rehab, has taken away her belief in herself. Sharapova, however, disagreed. “I wouldn’t say it’s ‘belief.’ I think ‘belief’ is either something you have or you don’t have. Whether it’s just a little bit of, umm, maybe confidence … Obviously it’s the first tournament of the year and, you know, I just came up against somebody that just played really good tennis. I mean, I could be disappointed or I could just take it as it is and just go back on the court and just keep working. I choose option two. It’s a bad day and you have to get on with your life,” said the Russian. With this victory, Maria Kirilenko is expecting to face the Australian Yvonne Meusburger in the second round.

The game has been highly anticipated by both sets of supporters ever since the draw was made last month with City fans desperate to prove that they are now the team to beat in Manchester.

The fact that the game was called off a fortnight ago, thanks to the heavy snow, has only heightened expectation around the city.

With United looking incapable of shrugging off the inconsistency that has blighted their season so far City sense that now is the perfect time to deliver a knock-

out blow to their neighbours.

However, after winning his first four games in charge, City boss Roberto Mancini finally tasted defeat against Everton on Saturday and it remains to be seen how his side react against the champions.

Both sides will be hard pushed to match the 4-3 thriller at Old Trafford earlier in the season when a 96th minute Michael Owen strike won the game for the hosts to maintain United’s position as top dogs.

Both teams have suffered defensive problems in recent weeks, s

o the winner of this battle will be crucial in deciding the outcome of the game. De Jong and Fletcher are key figures in protecting their back four, but Fletcher has more to his game, as his two goals against City last September testify.

City now operate a rigid 4-4-2 system under Roberto Mancini, a formation dismissed as outdated by Sir Alex Ferguson and his former assistant Carlos Queiroz more than five years ago. Ferguson’s preference for 4-3-3 won him the Champions League in 2008, but wit

hout Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tévez, the system now looks flawed.

The Scarf versus The Hairdryer, Bobby Manc versus the Godfather. This could develop into the managerial clash that defines the next five years if Mancini builds on his promising start at Eastlands. Ferguson has seen off numerous rivals, but City’s money will make Mancini a formidable foe.

Probable teams:

Manchester City (4-4-2): Given; Garrido, Kompany, Richards, Zabaleta; Petrov, Barry, De Jong, Wright-Phillips; Tévez, Bellamy.
Manchester United (4-3-3): Van der Sar; Evra, Vidic, Evans, Rafael; Giggs, Fletcher, Gibson; Obertan, Rooney, Valenmcia.
Referee: M Dean (Wirral)

Are you interested in basketball under over betting? I sure as heck I am. I have been interested for years. And for years I would be on the wrong side. Why? Because I had a habit of betting with my heart. After sharing this with others, I was surprised to find out that many gamblers make the same mistake. Well, nowadays I don’t make that mistake with basketball under over betting. No, sir! Nowadays, I crunch numbers.

Some people might not be a fan of number crunching when it comes to basket

ball under over betting, but I am. All I do is go to a site like sports.legendz.com or some other site like that, do some research, and find out who the five highest and lowest scoring teams in the league are. This is very important information if you’re looking to get involved in basketball under over betting. The good news is that basketball under over betting can be simple if you allow it to be.

What I mean by that is that you should stay consistent and constantly bet the under when low

scoring teams are playing. Don’t worry about who they’re playing. Just keeping betting under. You might lose here and there, but in the long run, you will be a winner. The same holds true for overs in basketball under over betting. You must always bet over when the top five offenses are playing. Once again, don’t worry about their opponents. Just keep betting over.

Of course, you will need to accumulate data prior to making these wagers. You should usually wait ten to twelve games befo

re going after it. Then you can attack. If you stick to the pattern and bet the same amount every game without panicking or getting greedy, there’s an excellent chance you will come out ahead.

Starting a solid muscle training routine needs to be planned properly. Even though it is not rocket science, you still need to know your “plan of attack”. One of the things that every lifter should plan ahead is the amount of weight they will be lifting for any given training day and any given exercise. You do not need a degree in Algebra to figure this out, but you will need to know some basic numbers.

The heart and soul of bodybuilding is the workout routine. It is the catalyst for all of t

he results gained and to most bodybuilders the really fun part, notwithstanding the blood, sweat and tears. It is also the most diverse topic in the field of bodybuilding simply by virtue of the sheer mass of opinion that exists on the subject. As a novice choosing bodybuilding workout routines can be a difficult task. You will be bombarded with different, sometimes conflicting, advice and input from both individuals in the game and the media.

Figuring out how many reps you need to do in order

to get the results you want is something you need to learn. If you’re looking to become a bodybuilder and develop large muscles then you will be looking to do higher amounts of weight and fewer repetitions. If you’re looking to develop a leaner body type with more of a thin figure than you want to work with lower weights and higher reps.

For starters however, bodybuilding workout routines can be broken down into two separate regimens namely muscle building and fat loss. Weight training alone

will not deliver acceptable results and needs to be combined with cardio exercise and a sound diet plan to loose fat. Once that is in place a decision regarding how you split your training needs to be made. This basically establishes how and when you focus on specific muscle groups the norm being one muscle group per day of your routine.

This said variety is essential in your choice of muscle group specific exercises to avoid hitting dead spots in your progress. Your body is a smart machine. Once it works out where the torture is coming from it will quickly adapt and you’ll loose impetus.

The following are suggestions for repetitions for different types of results.

High weights: in this category you’re dealing with a large amount of weight. You want to make sure that you can perform at least 6 to 12 reps of this weight. Please remember that greater weight comes with a greater chance of injury. Only do heavier weights if you have previous experience with weightlifting or your training for an athletic event.

Moderate weights: In This category you’ll be looking to do at least 12 reps for your given weight. This weight class is much less prone to risk of injury and it provides you a nice balance between getting stronger and developing muscle endurance.

Low weights: if you’re an older adult you want to avoid any chance of injury so you want to use the lightest weight that allows you to do at least 10 to 15 repetitions. If you’re in this category you can even do a much lower weight.

Please keep in mind that the results of these exercises greatly depends on your genetic makeup. Some of us have body types which will allow us to look like Arnold with just a little bit of a workout. Others have body types where no matter how much they workout, they will always look slim. Adjust your workout for your body type.

If you are looking to increase your endurance you want to make sure that you do at least 12 reps. If you would like to develop larger muscles you want to make sure that you do between 6 to 12 reps while increasing the number of sets anywhere between 3 to 6. You want to do less repetitions and more weight. No matter which level you choose remember to always lift with a partner. A lifting partner will greatly reduce the risk of injury.

The muscle training workout routine you choose will be the ultimate deciding factor in the amount of weight you lift along with the reps and sets you will be doing. If you are planning on losing eight, then you will most likely be doing higher reps with a lower weight. A weight that will still make you work once you get within the final 3-4 reps of that set. If you plan on building muscle, then a higher percentage of your one-rep max for less reps will probably be the plan.

Located in the Indian Ocean, around 500 miles to the east of Madagascar is the beautiful island of Mauritius. Formed by volcanic activity, the country is a beautiful spot that brings in thousands of visitors a year.

As well as a gorgeous landscape – including the 828 metre tall Piton de la Riviere, one of three peaks on the island – Mauritius offers crystal clear waters that contains a myriad of different fish and coral types which makes it one of the top diving locations in the world.

Those

travelling to Mauritius for the diving aspect – it is estimated that the surrounding waters are home to around 430 different fish types and about 200 different species of coral – should note that the water temperature varies from 21 degrees Celsius in the cooler months to 28 degrees at the peak of summer. Because of the warmer temperature, most divers stick to the western side of the country, with the very northern and southern peaks being particularly popular.

Divers can expect to see an

abundance of eagle rays and turtles, while sightings of tuna, Wahoo and marlin fish are not uncommon. For those who like investigating ship wrecks there are more than 200 wrecks that have been located near the island, which local diving companies are happy to take you to visit.

Mauritius’ climate is mainly subtropical with temperatures ranging from 25 – 30 degrees Celsius throughout the year meaning it is open to visitors all year round. The cheapest flights to Mauritius are between Novemb

er and February as this encompasses the country’s rainy and stormy seasons. If you’re visiting during this time it’s good to know that the central area receives around twice as much rain as the coastal areas.

Although wetter, the central plateau also records the highest year round temperatures. For those looking for more comfortable heat the east coast is the cooler side because of trade winds. This was noticed by early settlers who preferred the warmer western side and it is there that much of the history of the island can be found.

Mauritius has been colonised several times since it was discovered by the Portuguese in the 16th century. First the Dutch took over, before the island became French and then, in 1810, it was under British control. One hundred years later Mauritius gained independence.

As Mauritius has developed into a thriving tourist attraction, its services – such as the diving schools – have improved their techniques, safety precautions and professionalism, meaning touring divers know they are in safe hands when they go into the sea.

Many people think of six pack abs as something that simply makes them look good. However, there are many more advantages to developing this coveted feature.

Toned abs give a person better balance and posture, help them avoid back pain and injury, and provide them with increased support. As a result, daily activities and recreation become easier. However, achieving these results requires more than just doing crunches on a regular basis.

Although this exercise does give a person strong abdominal

muscles, it does not reduce the amount of fat in the midsection. Therefore, unless the person also has a healthy weight and a low percentage of body fat, they can not obtain the six-pack look that they desire.

In order to even have a chance of developing six pack abs, men need to have no more than 10% body fat, and women need to have no more than 15%. This requires a fitness routine that targets the entire body, rather than just the abdominal area.

The person needs to eat a variety of healthy

foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. Additionally, they should limit the amount of unhealthy fats, processed sugars, and white flour that they consume, as well as watching the amount of calories that they take in.

It is also important to perform regular cardiovascular exercise, such as swimming, running, biking, or aerobics, and to drink plenty of clean, fresh water. Although abdominal exercises are not the only tool for developing six pack abs, they are

still important.

They should, however, contain a wide variety of movements rather than just the up and forward movement used for a typical crunch. This includes such exercises as the reverse crunch, which is performed by lying flat on your back, bending your knees to 90 degrees, and pulling them toward the chest. It is also important to do exercises that target the obliques.

This requires some sort of a twisting motion, either while lying on your back or side, sitting, or standing. By doing all of these exercises, you can make sure that you are working all of the muscle groups in your abdomen.

Some people have the idea that they need to do hundreds of repetitions of their abdominal exercises to get six pack abs. However, this is not the case. It is much more important to do the exercises correctly, to have a well-rounded routine, and to eat a healthy, balanced diet.
