thanks! I'll look into it at some point. I've kind of deceived myself saying I'm lifting for field sport so I don't really need lifting shoes. honestly though at this point lifting for the sake of lifting is just as important to me as Frisbee

Lol the gym is packed and a whole bunch of people are doing dumb shit. One dude is doing single leg balancing on an upside down bosu ball while doing db overhead press.

SL ham cable hyper (3s ecc):
40 4*6 ea side

Ss1a zercher ghr ez curl bar (3s ecc):
85 3*8

Ss1b back ext :
190 3*10
Not sure if I like this, I can't tell if the form is consistent. Feel like I'm cheating with my legs and by having my butt curled slightly. Definitely feeling it in the back tho

Safety bar good morning:
140 3*8
160 *7

ham curl (2s ecc):
170 3*8
Not sure if form is consistent here too

Dec sit-ups:
15 w/ hands behind head + 10 regular
12 w/ hands + 9 regular
11 w/ hands + 7 regular

In a nutshell, racers make more progress than time hunters, from what i've seen with people on the local scene. Racing mentality is very different: it's considerably more aggressive. Time hunting with safe/precise pacing is fine, but there's usually much less risk. Taking huge risks can wreck you or pay off big. If you play it safe, you're always in the middle. If you take the risk, you may have the run of your life unexpectedly and perform well beyond what you thought you were capable of.

Hmm. I definitely see your points but for the sake of argument I'll go against your point of making more progress with a racing mentality, I think most progress would be made during training not the actual race. I could be underestimating how much the higher intensity of a race can actually help you improve though.

I do see your point that your potential is different day to day. I guess I was thinking more of anaerobic training where if you don't pace properly you can end up really burned out at the end and end up with a really suboptimal result. Which is what would happen to me conditioning during practice and burning out early because I would start too strong. Terrible feeling and you look silly for not knowing your limits. Endurance running is a completely different beast from that

So by racing you are gambling on your body to be at its best and if that ends up the case you end up with the best possible result that you couldn't have achieved by strict pacing.

I bet its a lot more fun to race with the top runners too

As for the 2 mile PR in a race setting.. If you were PB hunting you could go all out in the 2 mile and walk the rest of a 5k lol

Fasted

50 min treadmill run @ 7:47 mile pace (6.42 miles)

This is definitely some kind of PR. It was supposed to be a 30 min run and when I started I was thinking "I might only be able to do 20 mins" and then 18 mins in I hit runners high and I realized I could do more. From 18- 45 mins it was pretty low rpe, 45-50 my stomach tightened up like it was gonna cramp. I could have done 60 minutes, I'm sure of it!

Hand feeling a little better but still very swollen and bruised up. Hope I get some good news from the doc tomorrow

12/25

Ss1a: Squat:
305*5 paused
355 *2,2,2,2 pretty easy

Ss1b DJs:
4*5

Hit my hand on a railing going up for dj and injured my wrist. It's pretty gnarly looking, bony lump right index finger around the base of the wrist. Waiting on an X-ray at the hospital

UUPDATE: it's fractured for sure and possibly dislocated. cant really use my right hand for anything. No DB's, probably no BB. I can't draw or write which is the big killer, I can't work and I don't know if I'll be able to continue with my digital art class that starts next week. I foresee a lot of leg press volume in the future, maybe zercher squats or some funky front rack shit. We will see.

9th consecutive day training!

Ultimate Tourney ~4 hours: 7*20 minute games+byes

Highest level tourney I have played at. A I am still probably one of the fastest at this event but feeling kind of bulky and most definitely need to be much faster and more nimble at pro tryouts in a few months. Throws looked fine. In great shape but not in frisbee shape.

-air game: 4/5:  lot of posterizing skies including some against very good players - going up pretty well with both SL plants and either hand
-acceleration: 4/5
-change of direction: 2/5 Heels and toes absolutely destroyed from the poorly sized turf shoes I wore. Very painful. A little slow out of hard plants, rounded cuts could be better.
-top speed: 3/5 this still needs a lot of work
-mental presence: 2/5 a little out of it

I think most of my workouts are fasted morning workouts.

Playing real competitively despite being almost 15lbs heavier than in-season. Being bigger is kind of fun but optimal end-season weight will probably be like 180
