About that time II (training)

JerseyDevil · 05-16-2007, 06:22 PM

That workout is REAL decent for not touching a weight in 2 weeks.

Talking about crushing a ball and strength. Look at Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson. Neither is the biggest hitter on tour, but they are not far from it. I seriously doubt if either one of those guys are strong in the gym.

Malley · 05-16-2007, 06:24 PM

True story. I know before I really tried for strength, I wasnt a big power hitter. So therefore it does help, but some guys are just naturally explosive! I am going to really get into power lifts this winter! Just as long as I dont have to get surgery on my hand!

fufu · 05-16-2007, 06:36 PM

What happened to your hand?

Malley · 05-16-2007, 06:39 PM

A swing I took about a month and a half ago really did something to the nerves in it. Been playing with it ever since. I have lost some power from my swing from it. But for now its just playing through it. It doesnt effect my lifting to much though, suprisingly.

KelJu · 05-16-2007, 07:20 PM

I'm so jealous of your pull-ups. Nice job dude!

Malley · 05-16-2007, 07:24 PM

Thank you. I was so upset with my pullups about ayear ago! I had not done them in forever so I decided one day I would give them a go. So I grabbed the bar and couldnt even get 3! I was pissed. So ever since I kept pluggin away and now 20 isnt out of the question!

vortrit · 05-16-2007, 08:01 PM

Pullups are a bitch. I have a hard time with wider grips.

Pylon · 05-16-2007, 08:17 PM

That's nice work for all the time off. How's the body feeling after that?

Malley · 05-16-2007, 08:23 PM

I'll let you know tommorow.

It felt horrible after the workout. My whole body was shaking.

Pylon · 05-16-2007, 08:29 PM

That's just the layoff. It'll get better.

Malley · 05-16-2007, 08:32 PM

Oh wow it was horrible, I havent felt that in a while. I am now in 4 leagues and then tournies on the weekends! Damn I need to lay off a bit. And hell I got asked to play on Tuesday nights in Sherman as well, glad I didnt bite on that one.

Pylon · 05-16-2007, 09:11 PM

That's a lot of ball!

Maybe you just need to slow down and let your body recoup a little. I've had a couple of nagging things from playing (like I do every year), but on weeks when we get rainouts and I have a full 7 between games, I start to feel better.

Malley · 05-16-2007, 09:16 PM

Yeah I know it and couple that with 2 kids 1 on the way, 40+ hour a week job, trying to get 3 days in lifting wise. Theres just not enough time in the day!

BulkMeUp · 05-17-2007, 07:44 AM

Malley · 05-20-2007, 03:59 PM

As soon as I am done with the job I am at currently I think things will be much easier! I mean I work swing shifts so its hard as hell to get things done on a consistent basis. I remember whenever I was 18 and I could spend 2 hours in the gym and not a worry in the world. Now I have all kinds of things I have to be here or there for. Dont get me wrong I wouldnt change anything other than the job, which will be changing soon.

As for the last few days:

*I have been hitting the shit out of the ball and playing good defense so I am starting to get where I want to be, but not yet.

Fridays game:
3 for 3 (0 homers) But thats a good thing I am working on average and RBI's compared to just going up there and hitting it over the fence.

Saturdays 3 games: The team I played for here, just needed another guy to fill in so I done so.
Game1: 2 for 2
Game2: 3 for 4 *About killed the pitcher
Game3: 3 for 4 *About killed the pitcher
Game4: 2 for 3
*Didnt hit a single ball over the fence. I hit probably 6 line drives off the fence! F-in A! I am hitting the ball just right. However I tried to go middle on 2 occasions on the first one I just about hit the pitcher right in the face, but he ducked and it went past him. He said he barely saw it. And the second one I hit even harder and it was at the guys glove hand. He caught it. I always apologize to every single person I do that to. Its bullshit that someone doesnt step in and outlaw these bats.

We made about $800 bucks in our tournament, which isnt to bad. After the tournament we figured we would go to the bar where they sponsor us. By the end of the night I was so damn drunk I could barely stand. Got home and in some serious trouble with the wife. URGH! Stupid me. So I made here a promise, no more drinking until she can atleast go with me. Which is going to be about 6 months!!!!

Gotta get me a workout in tommorow!

Weight-205lbs. All this running is killing me. I eat a shit ton, because I know if I dont my body will eat itself and I will weigh 170lbs before I know it.

You're talking double walls and composites, right? The league that I play in has already done that. We play single wall only. I doubt they'll every be outlawed. Too many people like the long ball. HRs get the oohs and ahhs. If they outlawed the double walls and composites, how many fat, out-of-shape HR-or-nothing players would have to stop playing?

Malley · 05-20-2007, 04:31 PM

A ton of them would have to stop. I ca think of 2 guys off of our team that would quit. I was talking composites. I dont think double walls are near as bad as composites.

How do you know if there was possible synergistic dominance with the lunges?

How much weight did you use for the curls?

BB Pushups? Or you mean Inverted Rows? I really dont know!

How can you lift that much and only rest 60 sec?

God dammit?

Malley · 05-20-2007, 04:52 PM

I am not certain, but I felt it more in my hams and glutes than my quads.

How much weight did you use for the curls? 30 lbs.

BB Pushups? Or you mean Inverted Rows? I really dont know! BB Pushups were simply putting 45's on each side of a BB and doing pushups while I had to isolate the BB from rolling.

How can you lift that much and only rest 60 sec?I couldnt at all whenever I started. But I could probably get 225 for about 16 reps or so if I tried fresh. So its not like its a 12 rm.

God dammit?God never did anything to you.

KelJu · 05-20-2007, 06:55 PM

I said it before, and I'll say it again. I am so jealous of your pull-ups.

Malley · 05-20-2007, 07:00 PM

Whenever I started here about a year ago my pull strength wasnt all that good, but all of my pull lifts are a ton stronger than they used to be.

Thanks KJ

Malley · 05-20-2007, 07:36 PM

Well since I got time I mine as well tell this bar story:

So went out last night. Decided to go to a bar that sponsors out softball team. The place is better than it used to be because of new ownership, but none the less its still a redneck bar. We get there and people start buying shots, I was like ok thats fine. Well about 5 rumplemints and 3 yager bombs later I wasnt thinking ok anymore. I was thinking, lets run around the bar and talk to everyone even if I dont like them. So I found a guy's brother who hates my guts and yeah I defnitly am not to found of him. I thought the guy was him at first and I say hey how ya doing there buddy. He says, do I know you? I said fuck yes you know me. He goes I am not Bobby thats my brother I thought, WOW they look just alike, but his brother is obviously smaller, but being drunk I didnt catch it. So we proceed to talk about how big of an idiot his brother is. I thought it was funny because I wouldnt listen to someone talking badly about my brother it just wouldnt happen. So I am sure he will be telling him what I said about him and the fight will be on, which is fine I suppose. Now after that the bar was closing down. My brother was sitting beside me on a bar stool and he tries to spit in an ashtray and misses and spits on the bar. This fat ass woman bad tender has a fit. "That pisses me off, get the fuck out of my bar, yadda, yadda, yadda". I am thinking you obviously havent delt with drunk people to much have ya there whale. So this guy at the end of the bar starts yelling at my brother I look at him and say, "Shut the fuck up". He kept saying something (which I cant recall), I told him I would be waiting outside just as soon as he wanted to finish this nonsense. So I got a bit sidetracked outside talking to some people and he just got into his car and started to drive by me. I screamed at him, but to no avail he sped off. I am thinking seriously how dare you sit there and yell at someone whenever it has absolutly nothing to do with you? And then turn around and run like a coward? So now at this point my brother is bitching at me (On the drive home). I got sick of hearing it and I told him he could either STFU or pull over and we could settle it. So he choose to shut up. All in all horrible night. Especially because once I got home I got into a shit ton of trouble because I was suppose to be 2 hours before that. The wife was waiting up and she chewed my ass, but I dont remember it because I was to busy puking my guts out. She also said I passed out on the stool. I tried to go to bed and she wanted to fight some more. But I decided to go to the couch and say screw it. I fell right to sleep. I woke up this morning and she was gone. She had stayed the night over at my mothers. So we got everything straightened out this morning. And I promised her I wouldnt drink again until she had the baby so we could go out together.

And to add to this right now I am still suffering with a hell of a headache, upset stomach, and tired as hell.
