- Hang Power Clean: 5x5@125lb
- Bench: 1x5@135lb
- Press: 2x5@65lb
Practice practice practice. We worked on chips and the breakside, reviewed and pracitced our plays, and focused on good throws and decision-making while tired. We go to battle next weekend. #choochoo
Feedback from captains: On-field, everything is good. I’m a fairly veteran player and my instincts are right most of the time. Off-field, I should lead more and teach the younger players more.
Mini with Metro & friends. I felt fast, but also got tired quickly. I worked on getting low on my pivots and on triple-threat throwing on the backhand (which messed up one of my hucks to Liz). Overall, things went well - some nice breaks and strong cutting. I guess if I have limited time to work out, I’ll take speed over endurance.
Deadlift: 5x5@265lb
Mini in Stamford. Adam made us play with the “dont watch your throws, just throw and go” rule and it significantly improved our mini game. It’s a great rule to abide by.
Two hours of mini in the hot sun. Everyone seemed somewhat tired, and we had some really long points because of that. I know I wasn’t at my peak, esp from the deadlifts, but I still did pretty well. Toward the end I got really lazy, which was a sad sight. I also got beat in the air because I jumped early, something LD talked to me about on Thurs. I went up early for a disc that was floating because I misread it and thought it was on it’s way down. Need to work on the reads.
Quick workout with LD in New Haven. Warmed with the ladder, then did some throwing: windshield wipers, chip throws, leftie backhands. After throwing, ran 3x2x150m shuttles (25m course) with 90sec rest between reps and 2min between sets. Finished with 4x15sec lateral shuffles. Then went home and did a bunch of Zoya pushups.
Mini with metro north ppl in Stamford. I played reasonably well, esp on defense, but threw a lot of turns. I also struggled with fitness, esp on long multi-turn points.
Two days of ultimate in beautiful Scotia, NY. We lost in semis, as usual. The hand-crafted Sparks didn’t help.
4 hours of practice. High heat, low numbers. We practiced moving the disc to the breakside by punishing 4 consequetive throws on the open side with a turnover. Our offense looked significantly better with this one minor, forced tweak. However, I did not play well. I had several bad turns and got quite tired. On the last points, my quad crampted up and I dropped out.
