Workouts continue at the pace of about 2-3/week. On top of that, I'm now in the midst of winter league. As always, I have fallen into a handler role, but with 5s indoors, it isn't so bad that I can't pop out pretty much whenever I feel like it.
I've been trying to get one leg power day, one leg strength day, one arm strength day and a cardio (ultimate) day in regularly. My new PR for deadlifting is 245#, but with such atrocious form that I'm not sure I can count it. I'm able to DL 185 without any real problems. I still need work on my hang snatch form, since I feel like if I cleared that up, I'd be able to add 5-10# without too much worry.
Towards that, I've been trying to work hip drive and explosive glute firing. On Tuesday, I created a nice little tabata workout- 16 minutes, got some good stuff in:
tabata 4-sets:
BW Squats (average about 22 every round)
Mountain climbers (focused on really pushing my natural tempo, since I think I can go faster than the 1/s I naturally maintain)
Squat jumps (started out getting at least 14, probably ended around 10/rd)
Leg raises (had to really focus to get through this, the lungs and hip flexors were burning)
Powered through, was relatively pleased with how I did. I'd like to take another crack at 100 burpees later this year to see if I can improve my time (I expect to do so). I really did a number on my hip flexors, and they're still sore today, but I'll try to keep proteining and see if that all works out. I'd really like to turn them into some quick-firing sons of guns.
Ultimate last night against some old teammates/rivals. Blew them away (finished up 8), with a couple of scores to my name and a fair number of assists.
Offensively: My deep shots had an unfortunate tendency to be caught just short of the end zone, but they were completed at high percentage, which felt good. I threw 1 hammer, which was in-and-out of my receiver's hands. I'll take that one on myself, though, since I probably shouldn't have given it to who I did. I took over a couple of points, where I just totally got past my guy up and down the field.
Defensively, I did a good job covering people I HAD to cover (old guys, inexperienced guys) and shutting them down completely, either downfield or on the mark. Got a few D's in the air that I felt good with as well. The other team wasn't particularly skilled, though I did get the shit skied out of me by some old dude, which was a bit humbling. Overall, I came out of it very tired, but feeling pretty good.
Doing work,
