- ultimate frisbee x 90 minutes
gassed. gonna be sore tomorrow. it's freaking humid. much sweat. super fun except the one pakistani dude who comes out is extremely lazy and bad and was on my team, which is always a little vexing. nbd, it's pickup ultimate where i'm the best player by a wide margin and that means everyone else is relatively bad to never-played-before bad. but still. dude. move your feet.

Good to see you still in it w/ the frisbee. We are having a hucking competition next time you are over here so get ready for that

done. i propose combined total of pull, stationary backhand, flick, and inverted or unconventional throw of your choice. something else to train for. 

apparently dunkirk is amazing.

boring, i ran out of steam and didn't finish. haven't eaten enough today. gonna go remedy that now.

nah trust me, people with small hands need at least 15 in over the rim to throw it down, cause they need their hand over the ball in a downward motion to dunk

if i could palm the ball i can just use my wrist to dunk it in, but now i have to use my entire arm to throw it down

this is wrong and in fact makes no sense.

yeah fair enough, i know you've experimented. guess i'm just feeling a little high on stretching right now given my own recent/ongoing n=1.

did 60s crow hold instead of crow-to-forward-roll. more fun. struggled a little with front levers but that's not surprising after such a long layoff. should find a flatter section of floor to do them on. rushed stretching cause i had somewhere to be.

must redouble commitment to stretching.

Potentially the most repeated comment in my log that fails to be adhered to. It's a goal that just gets renewed like my car insurance policy without ever really using it.

yeah, it's funny: i went through a few years where i just decided that stretching and SMR were dumb and so i mobilized before workouts but never really stretched after. didn't seem to hurt me none. but after noticing the big change in my right wrist after just a couple of months of not-even-that-intensive stretching and movement, i'm back on the bandwagon. let's see how well i do.

i just finally quit stretching. forever. i finally gave up on the idea of stretching. I feel pretty good though, but I haven't been training hard consistently the last few months. i've had so many stretching related tweaks that I just decided, no mas.

:/

i don't believe you about "forever." you've certainly hurt yourself more stretching than anyone else i know -- a weird amount -- but i wonder if that's just because you need to find a better/healthier way for yourself to do it. your injuries often seem to come while you're trying to press and hold deeper/longer into a static stretch. the GMB approach i've found very healthy and helpful. it's gently dynamic and it's a lot to do with organization, e.g. using your quads and glutes to pull yourself into position for a deeper pancake, or using your bodyweight and back to pull yourself into a deeper posterior-shoulder stretch. ymmv.

have you read "stretch to win"?
