WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: ankle and thumb not fully healed
MENTAL STATE: okay

- superset x 3
-- DB OHP 35s x 10
-- inverted row x 10
- stretch arms
- DLRVJ x a bunch
not good, but kept at it, jumped for around 30 mins all told.

image broken. bike commuting, once you adapt to it, can probably only be good unless you get hurt.

You're tall and reasonably athletic, why not try out for Truck Stop? Worst thing that can happen is you get cut after testing yourself against the best collection of players in the DMV. Fair enough about Philly being too far from EC but years ago I had a couple of buddies who played for Hooray for Coed, Hooray! (a now-defunct elite mixed team out of Philly) while living in DC. They only practiced like once a month so it was doable. Anyway MM will also be good, if there are any of the same guys who were around when I was still playing they're a good crew.
The rioting is crazy and sad but what I'd say is much crazier is the long history of police brutality and active and passive economic oppression of West Baltimore.
I'll PM you the next time I'm up there, we could throw and do some sprints.

it depresses me when i think of how much better shape i could be in if i'd started training seriously when i was young and had all the time in the world. like i would still be slow and unexplosive but my HS time would have been better spent doing cross country in the fall and the 400/800 in the spring. and more ultimate. fencing was fun and i got okay at it, but man there is no athletic carryover.

you sure it was legs and not core fatigue that made the squats hard? my core fails before my legs do most of the time. did a couple of triples at 300 last night and they felt stronger than my squat has in a while, mostly because my core felt so stable.

Oh right on! Somehow did not know or had forgotten that you were nearby. I'm in DC but up in Baltimore a lot because my GF lives there (Fells Point, although she's about to move to Canton). I sprained my ankle right at the beginning of the first season I'd have played men's club down here (2008) and then in subsequent years, as I got more into trying to dunk, I preferred a low commitment team. So I went mixed and uncompetitive -- we made regionals but were never a nationals contender. Ended up spraining my ankle again and after that said fuck it and retired from ultimate. I was plugged into the DC ultimate scene for a couple of years there but I've dropped off entirely. Hard to believe how long it's been, tbh.
LMK if you're down to train/throw around as it gets warmer. I'm going to add some intervals and sprinting/bounding back in and I'm in Baltimore every other weekend or so. There will be rust.
Good luck with your tryouts! Is there a reason you're not trying out for Truck Stop? Or Philly AMP?
