Just sent out an email to a potental employer. I am no waiting on this chiro thing, I want to see what other people have to offer. But this kind of thing makes me soooo nervous. I am not the best with new people.

Posted by: AKIRA

Neither am I, I dont think. Some teachers said I have a gift with people. These teachers were NOT the ones in high school, so maybe I came out of some shell...I feel like I am still in there though.

You did core after your workout?

I keep picturing something else...whats a Supine Row?

Posted by: goob

Nice workout DD. Ass kicking start to the new journal, start as you mean to continue.

Posted by: Scarface30

goobs right, awesome workout man...I think the Supine Rows are laying on the ground and you pull yourself towards the bar on a Smith machine or rack isn't it? if thats what they are they're a good exercise.

Posted by: ReproMan

Wow, 75 minutes would kill me. Awesome as usual DD!

Posted by: Triple Threat

I was confused about the title of the journal.

I was hesitant to come in here since I thought maybe it had to do with the way you were dressed.

Hey, DD!

Looking good

Nice SLDLs and Supine Rows especially.

Damn nice workout and interesting title...

Posted by: vortrit

Balls out, hugh?

Posted by: Double D

Its a nice little saying our team has.....urgh, I like it.

Thanks for the encouragement guys.

Akira supine rows are laying under a smith machine bar and pulling myself upto it. Pretty tough actually, espcially weighted.

I used to actually do those all of the time. The smith is good for something!

Posted by: Double D

Yeah I use the smith for those and shrugs and thats it!

Posted by: Mista

75 mins with 90 second max RIs, nice one.

Posted by: Double D

Most of the time I was fighting off the urge to puke. My RI's between each exercise were not anywhere close to 60 seconds

Nice step ups DD!

Deads are fucking awesome too!

What were the RIs for all that?

Posted by: ReproMan

DD that's some serious incline pressing. Seriously.

And I can't imagine having one of my employees on my shoulders while I'm climbing steps.

Youse a bad mutha!

Posted by: Double D

Gaz RI-was full recovery....also so I didnt puke!

Repro My stepups were easily the best I have did, plus I was wobbly as hell!!!

Posted by: MeatZatk

Planks are the devil, especially with added weight. Good job D!

Posted by: Tom_B

Hey DoubleD! Great looking workout there. Although .. if you were wobbly as hell on those step-ups maybe you shoudl reduce the weight a bit? I've always done my step-ups (be it barbell or DB) with a weight that I was generally wobbly with, just becuase I felt if I used a lower weight I wasn't feeling it in my legs .. however the other day I decided to lower the weight and really focus on keeping my hips straight, driving my body up with the leg that was on the bench and going as slow as possible on the eccentric. Certainly felt alot better!

How's training those clients of yours going? Getting some good experience?

Posted by: Double D

Yeah Tom I thought about it, but lower weight is to easy....so I will just be careful for now.

So guys we played Friday, Saturday, and today.

Friday night (league game)
Won-22-3 (5 innings)
I went 4 for 4 (0 homers)

Saturday (Tournament game)
Game 1
32-19 (Won in 5 innings)
I went 4 for 4 (1 homer)

Game 2
Lost 13-12 (we played like ass, worst game of the tourny, but thank god it was a 2 dayer)
I went 2 for 4 (1 homer)

Game 3
28-9 (Won in 5 innings)
I went 3 for 4

Sunday (Tournament day 2)
First Game
Won 28-15 (Won in 5 innings)

Second Game
Won 28-16 (In 5 innings)
I went 3 for 4

Third Game (We have to beat the same team 2 times)
Won 27-9 (5 innings)
I went 4 for 4

Fourth and final game
Won 24-8 (played all 7 for the first time since our loss)
I went 3 for 4 (with a grand slam)

Heres my thoughts on the tournament:

Day 1 we lost that game because our pitcher (my brother), couldnt throw a strike and we gave up 8 walks in the top of the 7th and we let them score 10 runs which gave them a 1 run lead and we couldnt scratch out 2 damn runs!

Day 2
We kicked the shit out of everyone! Completly dominated! We hit back at the final teams pitcher and they had a bitch fit, so what did I do? I drilled him right in the shoe (Not on purpose). Then the final batter of the top of the 7th hit a screamer right into his glove, they were pissed. But hey we were the ones taking home the pot at the end of the day! I am fuckin drained!!!!!

Posted by: Scarface30

good job on the tourney Double D...3 days of playin ball is definitely tiring!

Posted by: Double D

I got 2 more games tonight!

Posted by: Scarface30

crazy - that many games in a little over a weekend

but if you enjoy playing ball, which I'm sure you do, its still a good time tired as hell or not

Posted by: Double D

I need to get some weight training in though! Just no time right now!

Posted by: Gazhole

Lol! no wonder youre beat, thats a lotta ball playing!

Great results though! Hows the elbows handling it?

Posted by: Double D

Elbows feel good, shin splints feel good, hand feels good. Just got some sore hips! But our team account is 200 bucks richer so I am happy!

Posted by: Gazhole

High Five!

Posted by: IainDaniel

God Damn man that is alot of ball. Shit you must be drained.

I had a double header yesterday, and the humidity just killed me.

Posted by: Double D

I am praying for a rain out tonight, but doesnt look like I will get that lucky. I want to weight lift tommorow, but I may wait until weds. I want to recoop! I am beat!

Posted by: Brutus_G

Keep it going strong D! We gotta lift sometime.

Posted by: Double D

Would be cool. Have to wait until the winter months though. I am sure I maybe a bit slender then. I have been dropping weight pretty quick. I am down to 202 last I checked a few days ago. Who knows....I am not really losing strength though. Not yet atleast. Right now my main goal is to maintain!

Posted by: Bakerboy

I need to go take a nap- just looking at all those games you played makes me sleepy...zzzz

Posted by: Double D

Then I had to go to work that night as well. I was dead tired! I was just happy with my production! There was guys there in much worse shape than me!

Posted by: Archangel

My goodness if it isn't Johnny Freakin Ballgame!!! Awesome stats my Friend!!!

Posted by: Double D

Thanks Archie

Decided not to play last night. I will get a workout in tonight.

Posted by: Triple Threat

You played more games in a weekend than I play in a month.

Posted by: DontStop

Well atleast you're taking some time for yourself instead of playing (for the one night anyway)

Posted by: Double D

Trips I do play a ton. My workouts suffer badly in the summer!

Dontstop Good to see you here. Well I have to get a workout in tonight. I dont play again until Friday!

Posted by: DontStop

Oh a nice little break! I only work twice this week so I'm utilizing my time off like you are.

Posted by: DeadBolt

wow your nuts LOL...now where the hell is the workout

Posted by: SamEaston

I feel your pain with regards to summer training!

I started lifting weights again as a sort of sideline, but now im seriously thinking of giving up rowing in order to prioritise lifting a bit more!

Man, i must need my head looked at!

Posted by: Double D

awesome stuff man. good to see your back at it, intense as always, after a few days off

Posted by: SamEaston

Yeah, i thought 'its a right old party in ere', thought id drop my 2c in!

Yes, i might stop rowing, or cut back at least. You see, its so easy to love rowing in the summer, when everyones froliking by the river, in no hurry to leave, having a few beers, etc. And how much that love turns to hate when there's an arctic wind from the North, you're soaked to the skin and you've still got 10k to row before you get home!

BTW - im loving your shrugs! I just progressed from 16kg up to 20kg for shrugs last week! (whats that, 44lb compared to 225lb) Now im embarrassed!

Posted by: Double D

You shouldnt be embarassed. Your suppose to be young and pretty not big and bulky....so with that said I think your doing just fine!

Oh and thanks scarface!

Posted by: M.J.H.

Hey man, workouts are looking good. What are your stats? And out of curiosity do you know what your bench/squat/deadlift numbers are?

Posted by: Double D

Over the winter
Squats-450x3
Deads-445x1 (sad, but true)
Bench-335x1
DB Row-175x3

Posted by: Brutus_G

LOL that deads gotta come up D. Your row like a mother man.

Posted by: Double D

I do row alot of weight. Whenever last year started I could only row 110lbs for 8 reps, since I have really kicked ass in that department. I attribute that to westside!

Thanks B

Posted by: P-funk

how are you weighting your supine rows? weight vest?

Posted by: Double D

I lay down and my partner puts it on my chest. Its awkward, but not to bad.

Posted by: Double D

Speaking of fighting.....

I saw a guys brother in the bar 3 weeks ago. He said this and that about his brother (me and his brother hate each other).....soon enough it will happen, soon enough.

Posted by: Brutus_G

Hey D have you eve rplayed DDR?

KJ I find supine rows to be easier than taking the time to do DB rows. Simply because it seems like I have to use more intensity to do an arm at a time.....hell call me lazy.

Trips You betcha!

Gaz You like it in the hole I left for you, dont you lie!

B So did you miss me?

Sam You'll love em. I for one have started doing them again in the past 2 months or so. I dont know what it is about laying face up and pulling myself torwards a bar.....I just like it.

And yes with 44 cor. 375 balls....That made me feel good. Oh got beat that game by a ton! That team I was with said they havent won a game in 4 years!!!

Oh and guys I really didnt go anywhere on vacation, just had a good time for 5 days.

Posted by: DeadBolt

Looks good man...steller DB rows bro!!!

Sounds like your kickin ass playing with your soft balls as well

Grats on that homer!!!

Posted by: goob

Oh sweet lord, that's the definition of an ass-kicker.

245 split squats!!!!?????? Not to mention cardio afterwards then a game!!!!

You're crazy man, screwball loony-juice special.

Posted by: Double D

DB Actually this year I have been trying to just hit linedrives and no homers. While its still cool to hit the ball a long ways, I am a linedrive hitter this year. Thanks though.

Goob I probably ate 6,000 calories that day as well. Every second I wasnt doing something I was eating. We went to Fast Eddies in Alton Illinois before the game and I ate a pound of hamburger and a beef kabob! Not to mention 32 ounces of beautiful Miller Lite......By the way 1/2lb burger at Fast Eddies is $1.09! Cant beat that!

Posted by: Double D

Well theres an old picture of your good old buddy Double D in my gallery now. I am the guy in the black. Its about 3 or 4 years old. I am much bigger now....but it kinda gives you an idea.

Sounds good. Particuarly the 32 Ounces of Miller, over the weekend I must have sunk around 220 ounces of various beers. It was a heavy one!

Edit: Checked your picture out. Dude you are massive! Can see where all the good work (and food) went to!

Posted by: Double D

Nice.....

good to see you back at the routine as hard as ever since your days off Double D! nice workout

I posted a photo of myself in the gallery today. First ever. I am constantly getting the question asked, "wheres the photo D. Well theres one from 3 years ago there now.

Posted by: Scarface30

goobs right, your a big guy, and you say you're bigger now?

if only I were that size

lol...and from your post in my journal, no wonder you wanna puke after your rowing, you row like a monster

Posted by: Double D

Its funny because that picture was torwards the end of my college experience at Maryville. Whenever I started going there about 6 months prior to that I weighed about 167. Whenever I left I was 193 like I was there in that photo! I gained about 25 pounds in 6 months and as you can see I was not fat at all!

Posted by: AKIRA

Oh now..

you cant tell if youve got a low BF%, but you look like youve got a force to be reckoned with.

Put up an updated pic. Gotta have a before and after pic. Even a way-before one. Thats what I was going to do, but I guess Ive got to mess with shit on the computer to get some pics working..

Have you read M.J.H.'s journal? That fucker is pulling/pushing some nasty weight. Even with bad form, I couldnt do most of his shit. And hes cut!

God dammit...I cant make up my mind on what I want to look like. Girls like the cut look, but I really dont want to eat shit and lose strength. But Id like to see my abs and some asses in my face.

So many decisions..

Posted by: Double D

The way I have always looked at it is.....if a woman doesnt like the way I look and whats coming out of my mouth then she doesnt need to be with me at all anyways. Do what you want, dont worry about what they want. I would have to say by looking at MJH's photo's he doesnt look like he should be able to do the weight he is, but I have seen guys that size doing weight around that so its not impossible. The guy in the middle of that photo was big as shit to. We spotted each other from time to time. And that was the night he got tossed into jail for pissing on another girl that he didnt see. She came out and said something to him. It scared him, he turned around and bame. Someone called the cops and boom, his night was over.

HAHA, that would suck.

Posted by: Double D

It was pretty funny.....he apologized about 10,000 times, but that girl just ran away. Dont know if she called the campus coppers or what....better him than me.

wait...did I read that right? Did you say that your friend pissed on a girl that he didn't see?

Posted by: Double D

All over her leg. She was not only drunk but she was right then and there, pissed (in more than one way).

Posted by: Triple Threat

Pissed on, then pissed off.

Posted by: Double D

Whats the saying, "Its better to be pissed off, than pissed on."

LOL he pissed on her!

Posted by: Double D

He was a super cool guy.....and much cooler whenever he was drunk! I havent talked to him in forever though....makes me wonder what he been up to.

Posted by: DeadBolt

Yea I need to call a few old buddies and go out for a night! Been a while sicne I've seen any of em!

Posted by: Double D

I havent seen him since college or so. Kinda odd. I have seen the rest of guys I was pretty good with, just not him.

Posted by: Pylon

You guys only say that because you are so young.

Once you reach age 28 or so, you will realize all of your high school friends were jerks. At about 30, you realize the same thing about college friends.

You check out my picture I finally got in my gallery? It only took me over a year to find a picture a friend had in their face book!

Posted by: Pylon

It took a year to find a pic of yourself? Have you considered investing in a camera? Heck, just get arrested and ask for a copy of the mug shot!

Posted by: Double D

Well my cousin has a camera, but she always said she broke it everytime I asked to use it. And to be honest posting my picture on an internet site wasnt one of my priorities. But now that a friend of mine found one I was happy with it.

Posted by: Gazhole

Man, sprints at the end of that workout mustve felt like death

nasty pullups and supine rows! Training with a partner?

Posted by: Double D

Yeah hes more of a kid I am trying to break in. Hes worked out with me in the past, but hes never really stuck with it. Right now hes doign about half the sets I am and with low intensity. He has a few postural distortions which we are working on one of which is rounded shoulders. His back seems to be plenty strong so it may just be tight musculature. He benches about 135 for around 6 reps, but can 1-arm row 80lbs DB's for 10.....so I would say his back is strong.

Posted by: goob

Holy shit! With pull ups like those you must have lats like 747 wings!

Nice workout D!

Posted by: Double D

My RI on that is funny. I say you go I go.....but I waited forever on him. He cannot do his bodyweight so I was his crutch the entire time, which is fine. But as soon as I was done I was ready for him to go, to bad he wasnt as ready!

Posted by: Brutus_G

Wow those pullups make me feel like a weak mother lol.

Posted by: Pylon

Nice w/out, D.

Every hear back from my gym?

Posted by: Double D

Brutus Your not weak by no means. You are about where I was at your age!

Pylon As of yesterday no. But I havent checked my mail today....

Posted by: MeatZatk

How wide is your grip on the pullups? Shit, I can hardly get four quality reps with my own bw. I enjoy the journal btw keep up the good work.

Posted by: Double D

Just outside of shoulder width. My pushing used to always be my claim to fame. These days its just the opposite! I pull very well, but push awww....so-so.

Posted by: Tom_B

LOL I'm almost 1/2 an inch taller, and you weigh near 80lbs more than me

Sick workout there! I'll never be able to get over your pull-ups ...

Posted by: Double D

I am also about 7 years older. At 18 years old I weighed 165lbs! I have weighed all the way up to about 245! I like my current weight, but would be happy to get back to 200 even. Oh well, I just want to get stronger! I dont think I am big by any means right now......but others think differently.

Posted by: ReproMan

Your pulling strength is just unreal DD. Good shit.

Posted by: Double D

I would like to see you restart a journal.

Thank you by the way.

Posted by: Double D

For anyone who wants to know. I deleted the picture of me and blacked somethings out so that it was just me....personal reasons.

He said once a few weeks ago he stopped journaling because he goes against what most of IM believes. He does more of bodypart splits instead of upper lower or total body, etc....

I say who cares. I am going to start to do bodypart splits in the winter time again. I am doing my damndest to get 20 inch arms! About 2 inches to go!

Posted by: Double D

Lower

Lunges
100lbs DB'sx10 per leg (3 sets)

SLDL

Leg Extensions SS w/ Hypers
180x10 ss/ bw+100x10 (3 sets)

Done......URGH.....So pukey!!!!

Maybe you should try that thing poliquins been talkin about maybe you could gain an 1inch in a month. Or you could try his 1 day arm cure.

Posted by: Double D

And that is?.........

Posted by: Brutus_G

I say we start a movement back towards body part splits ppl are to fuckin dogmatic.

Beat the shit out of your body with emphasis on that bodypart for 6 days 2 times a day take 1 day off then another 6 days of hell then take 5 days off of any work not even active recovery you should according to poliquin gain 5 pounds in 3 weeks of muscle.

1 day arm cure you basically set aside one day to just do stuff to work that one body part like 10 sets of curls every 2 hours for 6 timse a day. Take a week off after that eat alot. Poliquin says you should gain 1/2 to 1 inch after 1 week.

Posted by: Double D

That sounds ridiculous, but couldnt hurt huh? I dont know how many skull crushers I could do?!?!

I am going to start a bodypart split after softball. My time is not exactly the best right now. Plus after softball I will be without this shitty job I got right now and probably have a full time pt job. I have been working in a gym part time, but its not going to pay the bills.

I like the idea of shocking the shit out of your body then letting it grow im kinda doing that right now. I did upper body 2 weeks in a row with negs and yesterday i felt rundown so now im gonna take 3-5 days off and see what changes happen.

Posted by: Double D

I dont get much out of total body alone. I dont know why, but I dont. I get great results from upper/lower routines though. I think I just do so many exercises on upper that I really kick the shit out of my upper muscles and I grow. As far as lower goes, well 1 day a week for that is more than enough for me.

I dont know never got much out of total body ether. I think it really depends on if your training for looks or for performance.

Posted by: Double D

Splits I have always noticed a larger increase in size. Total body or upper lower its always been more about strength for me.

I am excited as hell to get back to body part splits. Right now I just cannot. Not until August or so! Then its on like Donkey Kong!

Posted by: Burner02

Was'sup, D!
I'm gonna keep the reins 'pulled in' for my workouts till July. still w/ the easy one BP per day, lower weight, higher rep to get back into the swing, then gonna go back to a split myself.

Hey...have u ever seen the 'rules for dating my daughter?'

Posted by: Double D

No I have not.

Posted by: Burner02

Posted by: Burner02

Mr. Yoest's Ten Simple Rules for Dating My Daughters

Rule One:
If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up.

Rule Two:
You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.

Rule Three:
I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose his compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact, come off during the course of the date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.
Rule Four:
I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without using a "barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

Rule Five:
It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is "early."

Rule Six:
I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with one of my little girls, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. You might have heard about her other two sisters, but you will not look. If you make her cry, I make you cry.

Rule Seven:
As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process that can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?

Rule Eight:
The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are sofas, beds, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there are no parents, policemen, or nuns within eyesight. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and my old Army Field Jacket - zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided; movies which feature power tools are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.

Rule Nine:
Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a middle-aged, gray-headed, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and a half acre behind the house. Do not trifle with me.
Rule Ten:
Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to drift back a few years to my Army days and mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a hostile vehicle. Whenever I hear engines at night, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the weapons, probably as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit your car with both hands in plain sight. Announce the perimeter password, relay in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.
Have a nice time!

DB Rows

Weighed Pushups

*These were a bit tougher than I thought!

Supine Rows
bw+90x10 (3 sets)

Shrugs
250x10 (2 sets)
*Lots of iso's.

Rest periods were You go I go.

Workout time 1 hour. So whenever I say you go I go, I meant he goes I go, then he waits to catch his breath!

We also won a tournament this weekend in a po-dunk town!

Game 1
Won-27-25
4 for 5

Game2
Won-18-15
3 for 4

Game 3
Won 17-15
1 for 4 *Ouch! Hit into some super tough luck!

Game 4 (Championship Game)
Won 32-24
3 for 5

Now about the tournament. Umpire was drunk as shit by the 4th game. Arch limit is 12 feet. The pitcher throws me a pitch on my 4th at bat and the pitch is atleast 15 feet. The umpire calls it a strike I say my piece and leave it at that. Next pitch was way above that! Atleast 20feet in the damn air! Umpire calls me out on strikes in slow pitch softball!!! First time I have ever struck out! I came unglued. 3 guys off of my team had to restrain me. My biggest problem is we have some dumb ass umping our game who is drunk as shit and doesnt even know when to call an illegal ball. I was angry beyond belief. On a bright note I hit a homerun that game over a 350 fence! So I hit it about 360 or so. Crazy tournament!

Good god! your rows man dam! What you think of the bench i know you put up 330 before right?

Posted by: Bakerboy

^ eye eye captain! Nice job Double trouble.

Posted by: Double D

I have put up 365 once before about 4 or 5 years ago. But that was a ton of benching and thats about it. I was strong right out of high school, and since I havent concentrated on bench to much. But I got 335 over the winter.

Your bench strength is bouncing right back

. Post season you'll back to 350 or so.

Nice shot DD!

Posted by: Double D

Yeah thats what I was thinking. I am down a considerable amount of weight to, so things are starting to come together again!

Thanks JD, you made me feel pretty good about things!

I was the exact same. We are actually in the same ballpark when it comes to benching, although I haven't trained it for numbers in years.

Lower body on the other hand..... 100's for lunges?? You're just SICK!!

Posted by: Double D

The weight isnt the problem its the balance thats an issue! Thanks Repro.

Posted by: P-funk

if your body weight is going down and your bench is going up....that is a good thing! especially if you don't focus on it.

i think if you warmed up to that 305, it could have been more, and then worked your way back down in reps.

Posted by: Double D

Well P I kinda did warm up to it, but I didnt post it. I did triples up to 245 then singles skipping 20lbs a time until I got to 275, then added 10lbs each time.

I couldnt be happier with the weight dropping and the bench increasing! Stronger and smaller is much better than larger and stronger in my sport!

Posted by: P-funk

it is much better in any sport......relative strength is more impressive than absolute strength.

Posted by: Double D

Dont you think in maybe opposite in football? I am sure this question comes up alot. The bigger the yard dog the harder he is to move. Whether he be strong or not, a 280lbs man is harder to move than a 250lbs man if they are of equal strength.......does this get debated alot?

I don't know if it gets debated a lot....but, if one guy is stronger than the other, then he will over power him on the field. It doesn't matter what he weighs. Also, you have to think about speed and quickness and the ability to get in positions to make things happen and leverage yourself against the opponent.

Posted by: Double D

That is very true as well. But think in terms of 2 guys with the exact same athletic ability and this happens in the NFL alot. While one guy maybe quicker the other maybe larger and whether hes stronger or not, may not be the determining factor. I have a cousin who outweighs me by atleast 80lbs. I have lined up against him on a football field before. And I am stronger in every lift by atleast 40lbs. I CAN run around him, but I would never be able to bull him over....does that make sense?

Posted by: P-funk

yes it does....but also.....gym strength is not GAME strength.

Some of the worst athletes I have seen when I tested them (functionally) were the best players on their team.

Maybe the umpire was too drunk to even be able to follow the flight of the ball.

But 20 ft is way up there. Was he even paying attention?

Have you ever played in an unlimited arc game? I haven't, but some guys I know did and they said it was redicuously hard. They said some pitchers had such great control they could throw it 30-40 ft in the air, and it would come right down through the strike zone. Those guys were unable to time their swing and got blasted.
