Gloves Down Balls out

MeatZatk · 06-01-2007, 10:33 AM

Planks are the devil, especially with added weight. Good job D!

Tom_B · 06-02-2007, 09:25 PM

Hey DoubleD! Great looking workout there. Although .. if you were wobbly as hell on those step-ups maybe you shoudl reduce the weight a bit? I've always done my step-ups (be it barbell or DB) with a weight that I was generally wobbly with, just becuase I felt if I used a lower weight I wasn't feeling it in my legs .. however the other day I decided to lower the weight and really focus on keeping my hips straight, driving my body up with the leg that was on the bench and going as slow as possible on the eccentric. Certainly felt alot better!

How's training those clients of yours going? Getting some good experience?

Double D · 06-03-2007, 07:43 PM

Yeah Tom I thought about it, but lower weight is to easy....so I will just be careful for now.

So guys we played Friday, Saturday, and today.

Friday night (league game)
Won-22-3 (5 innings)
I went 4 for 4 (0 homers)

Saturday (Tournament game)
Game 1
32-19 (Won in 5 innings)
I went 4 for 4 (1 homer)

Game 2
Lost 13-12 (we played like ass, worst game of the tourny, but thank god it was a 2 dayer)
I went 2 for 4 (1 homer)

Game 3
28-9 (Won in 5 innings)
I went 3 for 4

Sunday (Tournament day 2)
First Game
Won 28-15 (Won in 5 innings)

Second Game
Won 28-16 (In 5 innings)
I went 3 for 4

Third Game (We have to beat the same team 2 times)
Won 27-9 (5 innings)
I went 4 for 4

Fourth and final game
Won 24-8 (played all 7 for the first time since our loss)
I went 3 for 4 (with a grand slam)

Heres my thoughts on the tournament:

Day 1 we lost that game because our pitcher (my brother), couldnt throw a strike and we gave up 8 walks in the top of the 7th and we let them score 10 runs which gave them a 1 run lead and we couldnt scratch out 2 damn runs!

Day 2
We kicked the shit out of everyone! Completly dominated! We hit back at the final teams pitcher and they had a bitch fit, so what did I do? I drilled him right in the shoe (Not on purpose). Then the final batter of the top of the 7th hit a screamer right into his glove, they were pissed. But hey we were the ones taking home the pot at the end of the day! I am fuckin drained!!!!!

good job on the tourney Double D...3 days of playin ball is definitely tiring!

Double D · 06-04-2007, 09:56 AM

I got 2 more games tonight!

Scarface30 · 06-04-2007, 10:08 AM

crazy - that many games in a little over a weekend

but if you enjoy playing ball, which I'm sure you do, its still a good time tired as hell or not

Double D · 06-04-2007, 10:11 AM

I need to get some weight training in though! Just no time right now!

**Gazhole** · 06-04-2007, 11:41 AM

Lol! no wonder youre beat, thats a lotta ball playing!

Great results though! Hows the elbows handling it?

Double D · 06-04-2007, 11:45 AM

Elbows feel good, shin splints feel good, hand feels good. Just got some sore hips! But our team account is 200 bucks richer so I am happy!

**Gazhole** · 06-04-2007, 11:56 AM

High Five!

**IainDaniel** · 06-04-2007, 11:59 AM

God Damn man that is alot of ball. Shit you must be drained.

I had a double header yesterday, and the humidity just killed me.

Double D · 06-04-2007, 12:06 PM

I am praying for a rain out tonight, but doesnt look like I will get that lucky. I want to weight lift tommorow, but I may wait until weds. I want to recoop! I am beat!

Brutus_G · 06-04-2007, 02:19 PM

Keep it going strong D! We gotta lift sometime.

Double D · 06-04-2007, 02:20 PM

Would be cool. Have to wait until the winter months though. I am sure I maybe a bit slender then. I have been dropping weight pretty quick. I am down to 202 last I checked a few days ago. Who knows....I am not really losing strength though. Not yet atleast. Right now my main goal is to maintain!

Bakerboy · 06-04-2007, 02:29 PM

I need to go take a nap- just looking at all those games you played makes me sleepy...zzzz

Double D · 06-04-2007, 02:30 PM

Then I had to go to work that night as well. I was dead tired! I was just happy with my production! There was guys there in much worse shape than me!

Archangel · 06-04-2007, 04:20 PM

My goodness if it isn't Johnny Freakin Ballgame!!! Awesome stats my Friend!!!

Double D · 06-05-2007, 09:15 AM

Thanks Archie

Decided not to play last night. I will get a workout in tonight.

Triple Threat · 06-05-2007, 11:11 AM

You played more games in a weekend than I play in a month.

DontStop · 06-05-2007, 11:12 AM

Well atleast you're taking some time for yourself instead of playing (for the one night anyway)

Double D · 06-05-2007, 11:27 AM

Trips I do play a ton. My workouts suffer badly in the summer!

Dontstop Good to see you here. Well I have to get a workout in tonight. I dont play again until Friday!

DontStop · 06-05-2007, 11:32 AM

Oh a nice little break! I only work twice this week so I'm utilizing my time off like you are.

DeadBolt · 06-05-2007, 05:16 PM

wow your nuts LOL...now where the hell is the workout

SamEaston · 06-06-2007, 02:04 AM

I feel your pain with regards to summer training!

I started lifting weights again as a sort of sideline, but now im seriously thinking of giving up rowing in order to prioritise lifting a bit more!

Man, i must need my head looked at!

Double D · 06-06-2007, 08:45 AM

awesome stuff man. good to see your back at it, intense as always, after a few days off

SamEaston · 06-06-2007, 09:21 AM

Yeah, i thought 'its a right old party in ere', thought id drop my 2c in!

Yes, i might stop rowing, or cut back at least. You see, its so easy to love rowing in the summer, when everyones froliking by the river, in no hurry to leave, having a few beers, etc. And how much that love turns to hate when there's an arctic wind from the North, you're soaked to the skin and you've still got 10k to row before you get home!

BTW - im loving your shrugs! I just progressed from 16kg up to 20kg for shrugs last week! (whats that, 44lb compared to 225lb) Now im embarrassed!

Double D · 06-06-2007, 09:27 AM

You shouldnt be embarassed. Your suppose to be young and pretty not big and bulky....so with that said I think your doing just fine!

Oh and thanks scarface!

M.J.H. · 06-06-2007, 11:15 AM

Hey man, workouts are looking good. What are your stats? And out of curiosity do you know what your bench/squat/deadlift numbers are?
