Have You Seen Me Lately?

Pylon · 05-13-2007, 10:52 AM

I don't think so. Got a link?

Malley · 05-13-2007, 12:22 PM

Well I decided to grab a bat and figure out exactly what happens. Hands start high and cut down at the ball and my back swing ends pretty high (to compensate for my hand).

Pylon · 05-14-2007, 08:47 AM

Thanks for the info. I'll play around with it before my game tonight and see how it feels.

Pylon · 05-14-2007, 08:48 AM

In an effort to get my brand-spanking new cut off on the right foot, I'm going to attempt to post meals along with workouts, at least for a while...

8am - 1 C oats, 2TBSP natty PB, 1 scoop whey

Pylon · 05-14-2007, 09:48 AM

10:30am - protein shake (2 scoops)
supplements (vit B, fish oil, multivitamin, calcium citrate, psyllium seed husk, glc2000)

Pylon · 05-14-2007, 11:51 AM

Lunch, 12:45 - 2 C brown rice, 2 foil packs ahi tuna steaks

Finished the new w/out, but left my book in the car. I'll post it up later today.

Haven't really worked that out yet. It's on my list to do over the next day or two. I kinda started on short notice.

Pylon · 05-14-2007, 02:54 PM

Week 1, Day 1
Each SS is 4 sets of 6 reps each, 90 sec RIs between sets

WU - OH squat SS hang clean - 45, 55, 65 x 10 (this has become my favorite way to warm up.)

Hang Clean - 115 x 4
SS reverse crunches BW x 4

Standing alt DB press - 25, 40, 45 x 2
SS 1 arm DB row - 45, 55, 60 x 2

Split squats - 50 x 4
SS single leg DB DL - 45 x 4

Bench dips - BW x 4
SS DB external shoulder rotation - 5, 10, 15 x 2

I thought the 90 sec RIs were a little excessive until I got to the third group. I had to extend them a bit on those. Not only are they tough, they are new moves, I was out of steam, and I got a cramp in my right lat (no idea how that happened).

Overall, a great first w/out for this program. Still have softball tonight, and I need to get in a stretching session, which I will likely do after I get home. Should round out the day nicely.

Pylon · 05-14-2007, 03:22 PM

4:20pm - protein shake (2 scoops)
supplements (vit B, fish oil, multivitamin, calcium citrate, psyllium seed husk, glc2000)

Pylon · 05-14-2007, 09:53 PM

Finished the day on a good note, I guess. We won 24-9, I went 3-4 with a few knocked in a couple scored. Played solid defense with the new glove. Got home, did some stretching.

The down side is my new bat is toast. The handle is a separate piece from the barrel and apparently the glue (or whatever) that holds it together failed. Now the handle goes all the way into the barrel.

This may not be a bad thing. It's under warranty, and my buddy said since it failed so fast, they will kick in a new roller bag if I ask nicely. Also, he is friends with a guy that owns a shop, and would probably trade me my new Mutant for a different bat, maybe an AntiVirus or other high end bat. I haven't hit well with the Mutant, so I may be changing bats soon.

soxmuscle · 05-14-2007, 10:35 PM

Mens softball league. I'm jealous.

Awesome workout, btw.

Pylon · 05-15-2007, 05:55 AM

Well, coed, anyway.

Thanks. I've got some nice DOMS happening this morning, especially in my traps, which I haven't worked for a while.

Pylon · 05-15-2007, 08:59 AM

Malley · 05-15-2007, 03:22 PM

Did you just break the bat you got off of softballfans.com? What kind of bat was it again? My brothers bat just broke this weekend as well. It is a Worth Mutant and it has a shell. The handle actually goes into the barrel now.

Pylon · 05-15-2007, 03:42 PM

That is EXACTLY what happened to mine! I got mine off Ebay, but it was still in the wrapper new. I think it is just a flaw in the 2-piece design. I sent a note off to Worth for an RA# this morning. Still waiting on a response.

Malley · 05-15-2007, 03:48 PM

Did you get a Mutant as well?

Pylon · 05-15-2007, 07:15 PM

Yup, the 98, 27 oz.

Pylon · 05-15-2007, 07:17 PM

My day was a little short. The power in the office went out, so I got to come home early. (I heard it came on right as I got home, but it's 30 minutes each way, so screw it.)

Got to the gym for HIIT cardio (5 min WU, 16 min work), followed by 30 min Tai Chi. Diet has been clean as well. (Salad for lunch, stir fry for dinner, but I made it, so it's safe.)

Got in my upper body stretching, but still need to get the lower done. I'll finish it off later tonight.

Malley · 05-15-2007, 07:20 PM

Sounds good Py. What balls are you used to hitting? 375's or 525's?

Pylon · 05-15-2007, 08:16 PM

The softer ones

Malley · 05-15-2007, 08:17 PM

Ever play any NSA, or ISA? I assume you only play ASA?

Pylon · 05-15-2007, 08:34 PM

Yeah, just ASA to this point.

Malley · 05-15-2007, 08:35 PM

You played in any state tournies?

Brutus_G · 05-15-2007, 08:41 PM

Pylon you just trouble for bats lol.

Nope. Just run of the mill work teams and co-ed stuff with friends. I've never gotten too serious about it.

Malley · 05-15-2007, 08:51 PM

Is it about time?
