why do you think your bw has crept up? just lower volume?

yep, ultimate frisbee. fun sport, used to play competitively, sprained my ankle six times, got fed up, retired. just started playing again after moving to islamabad just as a way to meet people. quality is similar to gym class but it's fun.

Hows the Ultimate scene in Pakistan? Do you go to different pickups or just the one? Is there a more competitive level of play there like a worlds team or is Ultimate something people do entirely for fun? Do you teach people a ton of stuff about frisbee to get it past "gym class" quality, or are you content to just play around and chat people up?

there's only one pickup game in islamabad that i know of, would be shocked if there were another. there is no competitive play here at all. there may be in other cities but i don't think so, it's really just an expat (white) sport. the skill level apparently waxes and wanes over time -- one of the guys who founded the pickup game here is a former sockeye player, but he's long gone. i've tried a bit to get people to do the basics better, e.g. form a stack and run something approximating the stanford offense, but like half the people don't even know what a force is. and i'm content to just run around amongst the chaos.

ACHES/INJURIES: knees after finishing
SORENESS: none
MENTAL STATE: good

- tennis x 1 hour
played with a buddy from ultimate, who's at about my level of fitness/athleticism but a bit more skilled. good partner. we rallied for most of the time and then played a set, which he won 6-3.

in consolation, i am more skilled than he is at ultimate.

dumb question: the coding you're doing, is it just for yourself right now? or are you doing some contract work? combo?

will be doing a variety of exercises whenever i feel like it, without worrying about not wrecking my muscles for a scheduled lifting session. to a point anyway. like it makes no sense to avoid doing pushups or jump rope cos you have to squat or bench that day or the following day or what have you, it's just a recipe for mediocrity.

^^^ this. I'm beginning to think work capacity is king. Once you get over that initial adaptation period it will help you in the long run (that's what I keep telling myself anyway  :D)

for real. i walked up a staircase today that ive gone up hundreds of times (maybe less tho lol) for the first time in a while and i felt unusually strong and stable. cross training has it's benefits. the sprints, weighted ones, etc, bball on hard court, treadmill work, i think it's made my joints stiffer. dont feel as beat up after a game now either!

right on.  :highfive:
