Oh damn, it's been forever.  Oops?

What have I been doing?  Lots of explosive work, a little track work, a bit of strength work, not enough arm work.

I'm trying to get my Clean form good, because I'm leaning forward badly and not catching the weight forward, instead catching it with my hands, which hurts after a few.  I've really got to fix that.  Ironically, snatches may be better for that, since I catch the weight better, despite them being harder.

I'm trying to lift heavy Sumo Deadlifts, since lifting 225 in a normal deadlift has been jacking up my back in a bad way.  I'm concerned about that.

My core work seems to be paying off, so that's nice.  I can tell my core is getting stronger, so hopefully I'll be able to bring that to bear on the field.

My arms are...meh, though my back is getting stronger, which is awesome.  I can tell my lats are getting stronger but I don't see the results I would expect in my backhand.  When I went out with Ginie, I was hitting 60 yds (unmarked) with some reasonable accuracy.  Forehand...much less accuracy, a little bit shorter (50something?).

I can run with Corey, perhaps a step behind on the long stuff (over 50yds).  I'm pretty okay with that.  Honestly, I take some solace in the fact that he talks about the ISide guys telling him he played well and having a solid shot at Slow, so if I can just be as good as Corey, maybe I can pull this off.  Maybe.

Goin' out to do more work,
