**Pylon** · 01-01-2007, 03:29 PM

Nice work, Dub! What was the pain? A pull, cramp, or something you ate, maybe? Hope its nothing serious...

**Double D** · 01-01-2007, 03:30 PM

Well I only had some whey and flax before my meal. So I dont know. I have heard plenty of people talking about pain from a hurnia in that location, but I dont know. I figured I would go on the safe side and stop.

On a side note I got so pumped up driving home from work last night, thinking about how awesome 07 will be. I will be bigger, faster, stronger, and leaner. I cant wait.

You're silly

**Pylon** · 01-01-2007, 03:34 PM

Right on. Just 'cause you ain't a noob doesn't mean you can't get cranked up for the new year.

Could be a couple of things in that area. Wise choice to stop. Do you think it might have been too big a jump from 225 to 370?

Happy New Year, 'bionic man'!

I thoght hernia too....be careful...I think the weight jump was too much...maybe next time...just ease up to it...a couple warm up sets at hight weight till u get to target range...

**Double D** · 01-01-2007, 08:07 PM

Ya you guys are right I think the weight was increased to quickly.

**Stewart14** · 01-01-2007, 08:16 PM

yeah, warm up more next time....one time I was db benching after squatting and I thought the squats properly warmed me up enough , so I jumped right to 130lb dbs without warming up...yeah, that was a mistake, won't do that again...

**Double D** · 01-01-2007, 08:49 PM

So another long night of video game playing here at work. It sure was nice. Different from what normally goes on here.

**Pylon** · 01-01-2007, 09:07 PM

Sweet. Good work if you can get it...

**Burner02** · 01-01-2007, 10:21 PM

what were you playing?

**Brutus_G** · 01-02-2007, 03:33 PM

Today I decided to go hit some softballs. I tell you guys I hit one call every bit of 380. I will swear to this. I nailed this ball. There was a road about 100 feet past the fence and I hit it on there. Some car ran over my ball and we lost it (good thing we had a bucket full). It was nice to know I still have it. Oh it was a 525 ball as well. But w/ a stock synergy extended. It was one hell of a tomahawk swing. I can tell after all this hard work I put in over the off season my grip strength and back is so much more stronger and my bat speed is phenominal!

**Double D** · 01-03-2007, 11:28 PM

Oh I am not doing this anymore either. I will post my next routine, I simply dont like it. I find myself very tired all the time. I am instead going to go with something high volume and working out 3 days a week.

Your stopping DC training? I stopped for the same reasons.

**fufu** · 01-04-2007, 03:09 PM

Yeah DC doesn't appeal to me very much either. Never tried it and I don't want to.

It killed my libido and i felt like shit.

**King Silverback** · 01-04-2007, 03:49 PM

Hope you had a Great New Year my Friend!!! You have some impressive w/o's in here, sorry to hear your switching routines, but I know you'll rip it up whatever you decide!!!

on the squat PR.

Getting the softball itch already? I've been doing the bat drills prior to every outdoor cardio session. I've still got 4 more months before we even think about getting out there.

What kind of bat is the synergy? Composite? Double Wall? Single?

Really, just from the DC training?

**JerseyDevil** · 01-04-2007, 06:03 PM

Funny, I was just thinking I need to go back on JerseyCrapp! It is taxing, and I think you only need to do it for 4-6 weeks or so, before you must take a break.

**Double D** · 01-04-2007, 11:10 PM

Brutus Me and my workout partner are definitly looking for a change. Just not enjoyable and I want my workouts to be enjoyable.

Fufu I wouldnt recomend it. Just not for me.

Archie I am going to go with a 3 day push/legs/pull. I need a seperate day for legs. One day with all just doesnt cut it for me. I have got different reps and sets each week.

TT The Synergy is a composite bat. Very legal, and my brother says not broke in, however I think it is, haha. We got our first tournament March 31rst, if not sooner! The 400 for 4 reps made me very happy!!!!

JD Good to see your posting here again, I guess Jerseycrapp is your equivalent of dogcrapp?

**sara** · 01-05-2007, 02:21 AM

Hey stranger

Happy new year!!!

If it wasn't broken in, you might be looking at 400 ft!

How big are the fields where you play? If you're hitting 350+ and the fences are only 300, doesn't it turn the game into HR derby? Or are you one of the few who can hit it that far?

**Double D** · 01-05-2007, 05:50 AM

Sara Hi nice to see you.

Trips The fields i am accustomed to playing on is like 310-320. Biggest was 375 last year. I hit one that hit the base of hit in the air. There are a handful of guys who hit with my distance and one who out hits me. Hes a huge guy. His arms are every bit of 20!

Yeah it worked well(muscle wise) but there are plenty of programs that work as well or even better for me without making me feel like shit. Not to say HIT is bad just DC was very tough on my CNS.

**King Silverback** · 01-05-2007, 05:36 PM

I hear ya, I HAVE to have a seperate day for legs sometimes too, just gets too taxing!!! I'm doing an Upper/Lower split and LOVING it!!!
