As Bigdyl would say, "True Story"!!!!!

I did scare the fuck out of that kid and it was a total accident. He was a nice kid. I say kid, but hell he was probably 23 or so? But I also think he was just agreeing with me about his brother because he didnt know how to take me. I was thinking ok, thats cool. I kept trying to drop talking to him about it, but he kept on a going.

Drinking is starting to become more of a chore than fun. I am glad I get a 6 month break from it. I think sometimes I feel like I am expected to go out. And am expected to be the rockstar.....urgh, fuckin reputation. Oh I cant ever just go out and sit around and sip on a beer or 2. Its always do shots, yell at this guy, etc......Oh well 6 months off, and maybe my body will improve?

Double D · 05-21-2007, 03:20 PM

Legs and Core:

Cable Crunches
3 sets of 10 reps with 100lbs

Planks
3 sets of 4 minutes

Back Squats
135x10
225x10
315x10
365x10
385x5 (Wow those took a hit)
415x1
*Well my squats are way, way down! Oh well I suppose, my balance and bulgarians are much stronger now.

SLDL
135x10
225x10
275x10
315x6
365x2
375x2

Workout time-55 minutes.....DEAD!

Thoughts: Havent did back squats in months. So thought I would, and I notice I have some tight ass hip flexors so I stopped about half way in and stretched a bit there. Calves have also became tight so I need to really work on those 2 problem areas. All in all it was good.

Weight-205

**P-funk** · 05-21-2007, 04:19 PM

haven't squatted in months so you went up to a single?

Double D · 05-21-2007, 04:27 PM

I have been squatting just not back squatting. Sometimes I dont do the smartest things with myself, I just wanted to know where I stood. I think I had another 20lbs in me or so, so I wouldnt say it was a true single.

Nice workout DD! Those squats are kick ass heavy, if that's way down, i hate to see what you consider heavy.

Also 4 minute planks are brutal.

Double D · 05-21-2007, 04:30 PM

Over the winter I did like 440 for 2 or 3.....I was really working with that at the time. I was doing westside and trying to get as strong as possible. And now I feel like that was a huge waste of time!

Nice! 440 is well impressive. With all those custom workout's you've been doing, you're general all round fitness must be better than when you were doing westside. So I guess every cloud has that proverbial silver lining.

Double D · 05-21-2007, 04:35 PM

I am in a ton better shape now. Not to mention about 15lbs lighter or so. Can see the ole abs a bit, but nothing to good. I would need to drop a percent or 2 of bf before I got where I need to be for that. But honestly I had to quit the cut, I was dropping to much to quick. Softball for me is a constant sprint and I was dropping weight to quickly. I will eat my maintenence caloric intake and go from there. If I drop from that, then I will be happy.

Thats called "controlling your intake." Same principles as a diet.

I find that I can go have a couple of beers and relax from time to time, but I am usually by myself looking at some landscape or water. Gotta unwind sometimes.

As far as being a rockstar, yeah, i am there with you too. Ive had some serious confidence issues since I was a kid. Alcohol erases them. However, my wallet, my health, and my head takes a beating from what, being social? Thats a shitty trade off. The trick is to just get buzzed and have a good attitude naturally. Sounds so easy and is 2nd nature to some, but I am pretty stiff and grumpy sometimes even when I dont want to be. I am working on it big time.

Thats some workout. You maxed out after a long stretch of time from squats?

Well, you made through it.

OH! Are you doing a plank at 4 minutes at a time?

Triple Threat · 05-21-2007, 04:42 PM

Pretty good squatting there, DD.

Double D · 05-21-2007, 04:45 PM

Thanks Trips.

Yes Akira 4 min planks. I should just do em weighted, but I like to go for time sometimes. And the heavy squats maybe not the best idea, but I was curious. My drinking is over for a while. However my wife is trying to get me to move to Florida! She wants to get out of here.

More time for softball.

AKIRA · 05-21-2007, 04:52 PM

Florida? Oh shit. This state should always be good for training, but from what I found out today at this place's desk clerk (i wouldve fucked her chubby ass), there is a lot of competition.

I think the most ive done for a plank is 2 min.

Double D · 05-21-2007, 05:02 PM

Trips Ya, but then it means I gotta find a team.

Akira Dont you live in Fl.?

I can do considerably more than 4 mins, but today was a pukey feeling day, besides I get bored. I need to do them weighted.

Double D · 05-21-2007, 07:16 PM

Thank you Archie...

Double D · 05-21-2007, 09:24 PM

Just got news that we lost out Left Center fielder for the year, we think! FUCK!

He is our number 2 hitter with a ton of speed, fantastic arm, ton of power, and just a super nice guy. Well tonight in the Alton league he dove for a ball and dislocated the same shoulder that was dislocated at the end of last year! Just when things start to look up!

Sorry to hear about center fielder..that has to hurt!

Tom_B · 05-22-2007, 05:30 AM

Haven't been in here in a while! hahaha you decide to take a break from drinking just when I decide I'm going to start more of it

And being a rockstar or barstar are what makes the memories, lol I feel if there isn't a fight, getting chased by the cops, passing out, making out or all that then it's a waste of a night!

Good looking workout, I could never do a 4 minute plank .. I would just get to bored. I always do mine weighted, hell I find even 1 minute is too boring.

Good to hear your bringing cals back up to maintenance, with all the running around and training you'll be doing your going to need it. More than likely your going to continue to drop, just at a much slower/steady and controlled rate or at the very least recompose a little a bit.
Shitty news to hear about your hitter.. hope things work out for ya guys.

Pylon · 05-22-2007, 07:55 AM

Sorry to hear about your fallen comrade. Good luck in replacing him...

AKIRA · 05-22-2007, 08:09 AM

Yeah I live in South Florida along the coast.

You can do longer than 4 min on planks? Christ. AND you did 3 sets. Shit, Id be extremely bored.

Ya know, this brings up a good question for planks...time to go to Training.

Archangel · 05-23-2007, 07:22 PM

Sorry to hear about your teammate, thats not cool, Best Wishes in the future!!!

I used 100's last time I was at the gym, I found it really hard to hold the weights, it was ripping my calluses off. I can hold the weight different but it strains my fingers more. Im going to get some gloves.

Double D · 05-24-2007, 12:01 AM

I use to gloves or straps, I have no problems. It felt really light actually I used about a 20 sec ri. Hell use straps if you got to.

Thanks DB!

Bakerboy · 05-24-2007, 12:19 AM

Nice DB rows- 135 x 10 is pretty awesome. To make them harder you could try them with the same weight but instead of using a DB use a BB. Like I said before you have great pulling strength.
