Had a dream last night that i was able to touch the top of the backboard. But I mean like put my palm on the actual top of it and grab it. Felt crazy.

 

lol i have dreams where i can dunk weakly  off a lob. maybe once i can i'll dream of touching the top of the backboard. 

* left elbow still broken from the dips months ago. cannot do any form of upperbody push without making it tender.

  yikes

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?

what team(s)? where you at?
