game in hopkins; we won by 4 i think-our team is really looking good now. I pitched, and the curveball was kicking those royals around; it was very sharp. According to the book, i went 1-3 with 4 RBI. sounds good, right? well actually, three of those rbi came from a "double" that was an error in the outfield..but i'll take it.  Coach told us we're only going to hit tomorrow in practice, so i'm looking forward to it. Tuesday:-Baseball Game (2.5 hours) -Deadlift technique work (+50lbs) I've come up with a basic rotation that i will use when working out on saturdays and during the summer;the rough sketch is something like this (after warming up, of course) : -Bodyweight Cycle (20-25 minutes) 5 pulls, 7 pushes, 7 diamond pushes -Lower body (30 minutes or less hopefully) Pop Jumps Squat Jumps Deadlift Lunges Ham Raise -Weighted upper Body (10 minutes or less) Seated Rows Bench Press Weighted "T" dumbbell holds Rotator Cuff work later on when i get home i will do some isolation work; wrist rollers, and calf and shin raises Goals:True Bar Muscle Up (need rotator cuff work) 8.25 foot standing long jump (8 feet right now) 15 pull-ups (13 currently) 1 one arm push upCompleted:One set of Pulls to the bottom of chest (straight vertical, not leaning back) |

baseball practice today; kind of a waste of time, but we hit, and after i came home (to hit some more) i think i figured out a mechanics error in my swing-basically im now using a purely two handed swing; my right hand wasn't being as active automatically as it was in the past, so i believe i fixed that.  Now i just have to convert that to the games and i'll be fine. Wednesday:-Baseball Practice Hitting (1.5 hours) -Conditioning 10 foul pole to foul pole runs -Hitting (40 minutes) Goals:True Bar Muscle Up (need rotator cuff work) 8.25 foot standing long jump (8 feet right now) 15 pull-ups (13 currently) 1 one arm push up
Completed:One set of Pulls to the bottom of chest (straight vertical, not leaning back) |

i didn't have time to post thursday or friday, but i had a game thursday against the B team, (we kicked them around, but it was good bp  ) hit a ball to the warning track-it was kind of a pop fly, but it almost went out, as well as a rip up the middle for an rbi single with my new swing. So i went 1-2 with an Rbi, and the coaches are really liking my swing and my progress. Unfortunately, i strained my wrist a tad on a slide into third, so i'll have to keep it straight for the majority of my exercises. Friday i didn't have practice, so i walked to sean's house, then we met up with some the usual people to go play missions at weber park. My feet really aren't as conditioned as i'd like, so i kept the high impact barefoot jumps to a minimum, but i'm making progress on getting back to where i was last missions season ***for those of you who read this, missions is a game my friend's older brother and his friends started playing 5 years ago (now myself and several others play too) at a park near their house. It is basically offense vs. defense tag; 2-3 defenders, and everyone else on offense tries to get to a specific point on the other side. The park/playground is perfectly designed for this game (a connection i think of is lisses with parkour), with (so far) around 25 different jumps, maneuvers, and techniques-it's the only playground we've seen like it. Anyway, because of the heightened athleticism and intellect of the participants (not being children after all) this game requires that you go under, over, and around quickly and precisely in coordination with your teammates; basically, loads of fun! back to the training Thursday:-Baseball game (2 hours) Friday:-Missions! (2-3 hours) drilled precisions barefoot lots of long jumps lots of laches and climbing around Saturday:-4 rounds upper body 5 pull ups 7 knuckle push ups 7 close knuckle push ups -3x5 deadlift form practice (115 lbs) -4x5 dumbbell deadlift form practice (90 lbs) -2x5 bench press (115 lbs) -4x5 seated row (125 lbs) -4x5 seated row (150 lbs) -4x5 rotator cuff cable pull (17.5 lbs) -4x15 calf raises (+25 lbs) -4x15 shin raises -3x5 small step lunges -3x10 sec arm-raise-holds (15 lbs) and core -4x30 sec canoes (+5 lbs) -4x20 sec oblique canoes -3x10 sec weighted tuck sits (+5 lbs) -4x45 sec back bridges Goals:True Bar Muscle Up (need rotator cuff work) 8.25 foot standing long jump (8 feet right now) 15 pull-ups (13 currently) 1 one arm push upCompleted:One set of Pulls to the bottom of chest (straight vertical, not leaning back) |

i feel pretty good today; only my core is a bit sore, while my upper body and legs feel fine. Im starting to use some fish oil in my diet; i tried some of my dad's, but it was fairly disgusting. I'm going to try to work my way up to 3 tablespoons a day to help my training. Wrist is still a little tender, though it's getting better-i want to go out and hit, but i can't risk hurting it with three games this week.
Sunday: Rest, stretching (4x10-15 minutes)
Goals:
True Bar Muscle Up (need rotator cuff work)
8.25 foot standing long jump (8 feet right now)
15 pull-ups (13 currently)
1 one arm push up
Completed:
One set of Pulls to the bottom of chest (straight vertical, not leaning back)

baseball game at armstrong. we knocked them around, 12-2, and i went 3-4 with 2 doubles, a single, 3 runs scored, and an rbi or two. A fine day; we're now 6-2 and first in the conference. I reinjured my wrist a bit; so i'll keep it taped whenever i train or play baseball..my left big toe is still sore also from soccer, as well as the inside of my foot.

I didn't sleep so well last night; i don't feel as fresh, but that's all right. I experienced a somewhat old sensation that i haven't felt for a while-my muscles tired quickly, especially in my core work, and while it didn't feel like muscle fatigue, i realized it was muscle exhaustion. I couldn't even hold an L-sit! The lack of sleep and some stuff yesterday didn't help.
Also, i went to a nearby baseball field to work on throwing and fielding with a teammate, and after i went to work out for 40 minutes, came home, and continued after a short break.
I have soccer practice in an hour, so i will pick up and do more later on, or perhaps tomorrow.
Friday:
Rest and went to a party (wee dance dance)
Saturday:
-4 rounds upper body
5 pull ups
6 pushups
6 close knuckle pushups
-4x5 seated rows (144 lbs)
-3x5 deadlift (145 lbs)
-2x5 deep dumbbell squats (120 lbs)
-3x10 second Tuck Planche
-2x20 weighted decline sit ups (10 lbs)
-1x6 weighted decline sit ups (25 lbs)
-2x30 second canoe
-2x30 second oblique canoe
and later on:
-Bench Press:
1x6 (105 lbs) 1x6 (115 lbs) 1x6 (125 lbs) 1x6 (135 lbs) 1x5 (145 lbs)
-5 rounds floor wipers (left, right, middle= 1)
-3x10 second tuck planche
-Bubka Attempts (pole vaulting buddy was showing me the technique)
-2x5 deadlift (145 lbs)
-2x6 swing ups
I'm going to try to do a bit more during the week without affecting my baseball play..i'm improving steadily but my progress is a bit slower thanks to my 6 days of light work and 1 day of very intense work. This isn't the formula i would like to use, but unfortunately my situation doesn't allow for much flexibility.
Goals:
True Bar Muscle Up (need rotator cuff work)
8.25 foot standing long jump (8 feet right now)
15 pull-ups (13 currently)
1 one arm push up
Completed:
One set of Pulls to the bottom of chest (straight vertical, not leaning back)

i've been doing some thinking;
1) Instead of having 1 heavy day and 6 light or nonexistent days, i need 2 heavy-3 medium-2 light
so i will exercise my upper and lower body alot on saturday, my core alot on sunday, and then i will slowly up the amounts that i do during the weekdays.
2) I also have two new goals; accomplish the Bubka (an ab exercise pole vaulters use; i would liken it to the muscle up) and to bench my bodyweight.
When i do my medium and light days, i will make sure to be doing weighted and false grip pull ups; after reading jim bathurst's muscle up tutorial, im more determined than ever to get it.
Sunday: Rest
Goals:
True Bar Muscle Up (need rotator cuff work)
8.25 foot standing long jump (8 feet right now)
15 pull-ups (13 currently)
1 one arm push up
Bubka
Bodyweight Bench
Completed:
One set of Pulls to the bottom of chest (straight vertical, not leaning back)
