DOMS

Week 6, Day 1

All in all, it was a decent workout. I did struggle a little. Surprisingly, it wasn't with the Squats, it was with the Bench and the T-Bar row. I mean, the Squats weren't a breeze, but they weren't any harder than last workout, but the rest was a bit more difficult.

I'm just the opposite; I can't stand running for long distances, but I do enjoy spriting.

If you don't like sprinting, why not cut down on the time spent doing it by increasing the intensity? Do what I'm doing; Do it up hill.

DOMS

I used to think that I hated the cold. I do, but it turns out that "cold" doesn't start for me until it gets around 10 degrees.

I don't like running in the cold either, but it makes it more difficult. Which I like.

Double D

I am going to be doing that the days I workout with my buddy. He has this huge hill by his house and we will run it for sprints. Damn I didnt know how slow I gotten. Or atleast it seems. I was fast, but now it seems like I am going to slow motion.

36 isn't that cold. It just takes longer to warm up.
100 yd sprints are tough enough without worrying about going up hill.
Start off using shorter distances and on a flat surface. Then once you've got some stamina built up, go longer or up hills.

Double D

I like 10 yard sprints, haha...

I hate running in the cold. I always feel like fluid is building up in my lungs and I'll be hacking out flem the rest of the day.

I started sprinting last year to get ready for softball, and did all the work on a field with bases. got in running and turning practice. (Heck, it's the only time I really run full out, so why not do it there?)

Squats are getting up there!

60 feet between bases, DD.

Pylon

Maybe he's hitting a lot of weak grounders to the pitcher. That would prevent you from having to run the whole way...

I dont know what a weak grounder is!

Triple Threat

Running first to third (or second to home) is different than just sprinting 40 yds straight.

I was doing this last year. Sprint home to second, walk back to first. Sprint first to third, walk back to second. Sprint second to home. That completes one round. Try 5 or 6 of those.

Pylon

OK, maybe a sharp grounder then?

Come watch me play. You'd get to see a few.

When I'm hitting well, I tend to hit from left-center to right-center. If I swing too early, I tend to top the ball to the third baseman, so being quick from home to first is important to me!

Pylon

Yup, pretty much the same as I was doing. I timed myself on the different combos, then would time outfielders on getting rid of the ball once they got to it. Picked up a coupld of extra bases through the season that way. But only a couple.

Your quick!!??!?!

So you like to murder the pitcher hey..?

Pylon

I'm a dead pull hitter, which is one reason I have gotten on the bat speed drills. (But I think doing them will be helpful.)

I'm always surprised and amused by the left fielders who have seen me jerk the ball down the line twice, but refuse to move closer to it. It's ok with me, but it seems like a poor choice...

He didn't say he was quick, just that it was important. Heck, having 10%BF is important to me, but....

I haven't liked any sort of baseball after I regained consciousness next to the pitcher's mound.

Double D

No shit? I would feel the same!
