It's been a long frustrating couple of months, ultimate wise.  Absolutely no good ultimate played by me since mid/early April.  Last night's workout:

1 mile bike
Long roll and dynamic lower body stretch
DL 1x1x135.  I immediately tweaked out when I lifted the weight.  Very aggravating.
More rolling
1L Leg curl: 3x10/L.  R@ 37.5,37.5,50.  L@62.5,62.5,75.
1L Press: 3x8/L 70#
Chinups: 3x4
Calf Raise: 10x90,110,130

God, I just feel like I've backslid SO far.  I need to run, I need to play and I just can't.  I keep meaning to ask J and Katie Shafer how they handled it when they were in the same position.

I'll find some work to do,

Last hours before Swiss.  Tournament goals:

-No drops.  I've been having some dropsies in summer league and it's just totally unacceptable.

-Hydrate and sunscreen.  Two tournaments in a row I've gotten really bad burns.  Can't compete if you're stuck thinking about how your skin hurts.

-Aggressive underneath defense, 100% of the time.  No poachy bullshit.  That's not how I do.

Gonna do some work,

ETA: Injured in the first five points, sat the rest of the day.  FUCK that.  But hey, I didn't get burned!

Last major workout before Swiss.  Upper body:

[chin ups 4,3,2
[TRX Invert Rows 5,5,5
DB Press: 8/5x 30#isometric, 35# isometric, 8x40# bilateral
Tricep pulldown: 10x60,8x72,6x72,4x72,2x75
Run 1 mile at 8 mph

I was in the gym a few days ago and I did a lower body workout I can't remember.

Leg update: Feeling better.  I've gotten on-field a few times now and everything is working more or less the way it should.  I'm concerned I'll always have a pain there, like in my hamstring, but even if I do, it's not really stopping me from doing anything at this point.  I have Wisconsin Swiss this weekend.  Very excited.  Three teams to care about: Ibex (1 and 1), Gambit (#1 team out of Chicago, Brando's playing with them) and Drag 'n Thrust (Bid to Natties last year).  Time to get real.

Day of mixed lifting.  I wouldn't normally, but I figured out which muscles exactly are causing me trouble.  I see a doctor this afternoon, so that'll certainly come up.

Ring ups:3,3,3x1(very tired for the last set)
1-L press: 35 pounds: 3x6 (when I turn out my left foot and press, I really target the pain.  Another way is lifting my knee with weight, so I'm trying to figure out how to do that.  Probably a resistance band.)
1-arm row: 5x40(?),62.5(?),62.5(?)  Not sure on the weights.  Trying to really focus on pinching at the scapulae.
Squat: 3x8x155 Really working on depth.  Got good and tired by the end and could feel it working all the right muscles.
DB press: 6x30,30,35 Pretty rough at full weight.  Definitely came closer to bailing that I expected.
Tricep dip: 3x3 Not great form, didn't feel all that good.  Maybe I'll go back to pulldowns.

Doin' that work,

Back in the gym.  Gotta go more often.  Just wish it was cheaper/easier to park nearby.  I'm going to focus increasingly on unilateral movements.  Not only because of the injury but because I think it was caused by an increasingly noticeable imbalance between my sides.  Bad.

From memory:
1-arm,1-Leg KB DLs, don't remember the weights but it was dropped each time and I worked on taking it lower and lower.
2-Leg DLs with increasing weight.
2 sets of left-leg,1 set of right leg split squats with just the bar.  Working my depth more than my strength, though I definitely felt them in the appropriate spaces.
Quad extensions- 10/6 splits Left/Right leg. Increasing weight.
Hammy curls- 10/6 split L/R leg.  Increasing weight.
Ring ups on the TRX ropes.  3-2-2.  Decreasing ability but very good in the first set.  Ahh chin ups, my old enemy.

Doin' some work,
