Winter league against Trey’s team. We came out hot and never let up. Diana, Anna, Billy and Nick played especially well. Butter asked me before the game to take it easy on deep shots, and I think I did an OK job of that.

Rolling, stretches, glutivation.
Shuffles, side runs, ladders, lateral skips. Emphasized lateral skips for height this time.
Relay sled push. 225lb on the sled, about 15 yards, 5 pushes per person. Ben and Sam joined us and anchored the teams. It came down to a photo finish between them for the final push. Great way to end the day.
1 2 3 Tha’s it
Also, started taking creatine today. Doing the simple 5mg/day plan, no loading.
Rest between gym days.
Worked on cleans for a good chunk of today. My form is decent but I don’t pull high enough with my elbows and my balance is not great - sometimes I land on my toes and sometimes I’m too far back on the catch. Otherwise, a good day. Didn’t do conditioning at the end because we ran a lot last night.
Worked on around breaks, cut timing. Scrimmaged for at least an hour. I played well and had good throws, but also got beat at times. The field size is very confusing.
Threw with Gabe and Himalaya for about an hour at Penn Park. We mosly threw deep throws, but did some cutting and 3-man marking too. Right as we were finishing up, pickup started. So we played for a while in the bubble, then got kicked out and played some more outside. The weather warmed up, so it was actually really nice to play.
Two straight days of workouts + sore back = rest day.
Played a WL game against Vanni’s team. We had all of our guys there, so I didn’t really play that much. They also weren’t that strong, so the game was pretty relaxed for us. My fav play of the night was Robb throwing me a thumber just outside the endzone, and then me turning and throwing Billy a Rochester for the score. Final score: 39-15
Started Phase 2 of the program. Not sure what exactly that means, except that exercises got harder. Here’s the new workout:
Rolling, stretches, glutivation.
Shuffles, side runs, ladders, worked on lateral skip progression.
Ended with 4x15sec shuffle, 30sec rest between each.
Planned to go climbing but jetlag wiped me out. Going to bed early to rest up for tomorrow.
Back from Iceland and from my 2-week ultimate hiatus. Knee felt pretty good at the gym, no pain or soreness. I still skipped the one-legged squats on that side, but did everything else.
Because of the snow day last week, we’re back on day 1 today. Here are my numbers:
KB Press: 8@35lb, 10@35lb, 10@30lb
At the end, did relay sled sprints and SEAL pushups. For the sled, we had 5 people per team, and each person did 6 sprints with 225lb on the sled. Doing them back to back like that is a lot harder. I definitely felt tired and winded when we finished. For SEAL pushups, each team got in a line, got into pushup position, then put our feet on the shoulders of the person behind us. The groups faced each other and we did pushups on command, holding at the top between reps. I think we did about 10-15 pushups.
No workouts today, just rest.
Still sick, still resting.
Did day 2 of Ben’s program (the lateral day), but subbed in DB Snatch for KB Swings.
My numbers:
Stretching, PT.
Played against Bills team and Delaware in winter league. The first game was very close and very heated, esp towards the end. We were up 1 most of the game but they caught up in the fourth quarter, then passed us. We ended up losing by 1 after some fouling and clock-rewinding in the last few seconds of play. In the second game, Delaware was up the whole first half, but in the second half we switched to flick and pulled away for a solid win. In general, our team played solid O (though sometimes a bit huck happy or risky) and fairly good but not excellent D. Personally I threw and caught a bunch of goals, but also had a lot of turns on rushed goal attempts and inside backhand breaks. Those are my two areas of focus for next time. Brandon Silverman told me during the game that I’m really good at going to the disc, so that’s another plus.
Lateral movement and lifting day at the gym. Instead of writing up the workout, I took pictures of it:
We did the right side of both sheets. I didn’t get to kettlebells.
