Been a long time...

With many good reasons, mostly related to my Rim job. So, as a new era of workouts dawns (because dam-ned frisbee is out of the way), a recap of the last few weeks (since Oct 1 apparently):

Well, I can't remember it all but...

there was a 5 k and an upper body workout. Then there was a Frisbee practice and two Frisbee games. (Those practices -lots of sprinting. Its so good.)

Then there was regionals in Boston on the 10th/11th. Not a lot of PT, but I did score this totally cool come-in-cold-off-the-sideline-run-like-a-mf-and-chase-down-a-huck point in the game to go that cleared the bench and is therefore pasted in my mind as my best point ever, even though it did not include shutting down my opponent with a brilliant but caustic retort after a horrible foul call (which always seem to come easily to me two days later). OK, that last sentence was a bit of a workout itself.

After much Turkey, there was a leg workout I remember clearly enough:
Back ext: 2 x 15
Front ext: 2 x 15
Squats: 235lb x8, x8, x7 with Bicep culrs: 30lb x8, x7, x6 each arm
Deadlifts: 235 x 7
Finisher squats: 155 x 18

There was 5K 2 days after (that is not enough recovery time to run it fast, even though its just as hard) 22:58

While away in Nova Scotia I found a steep hill, about 4 m high, and made a 25 m sprint course with it at the end and I did this awesome workout:

5 rounds of 5 sprints up the hill, 20 push ups, 10 no arm two foot jumps (max power).
Then 48 left and right leg hops up stairs followed by 2 k run home. Then a corn maze!

Another Frisbee practice. Cold weather sprints. Ouch.

Frisbee game, frisbee game.

There was an upper body workout:
Press: 80lbs x 8, x7, x5 (brutal)
Upright rows: 80lbs x10 ,x8, x6
BBQ press: 135 x10, x7, x6

There was a session of sprints with a couple of brave frisbee guys (in the cold-wet)
we did a good solid warm up then 3 sets of 6 40m sprints of various types (look back 4 times, stop-start, shuffle-pop etc). Good times.

Another frisbee game.

Sarasota FLA and the UPA's. All I can say is I want to do that again. We should have come 5th.

Then a meager post FLA work out:
Pull ups: 14, 7, 5
Dips: 15, 10, 5,
front ext. 2 x 30
back ext. 2 x 30
Mile jog, 8:35

I sorta hurt my knee and was stoopid busy at work, so there is nothing else to mention. Thank christ.

Be seeing ya!

my dad used to say that he would listen to Chet Atkins play guitar and just shake his head. But when he listened to Segovia he wanted to take his guitar out to the road and smash it because he was embarrassed to say he played.

That's what I feel like when I see your workouts, sir.
