    usps issues lately

    Nope. I'm sure you're one of only a handful of people shipping packages at this time of year. There's really no reason why they may be backlogged by hundreds of thousands of gift wrapped packages of fruitcake and nintendo DS games.

    Want to get better? Spend money on this, not a new bat

    This is the worst argument to be fat I've ever heard. :wtf2: I'd take a fast guy that can't hit or catch over a fat **** that can't hit or catch any day. In what world wouldn't you? Even if the fat guy managed to squeek a few out ( he can't hit right?), the fast guy gives you so many more...

    Dumb strategies

    This entirely. I've played outfield my whole career and used to play deep but the longer I played, the shallower I started to play. I always try to convince guys I play with to move in. Especially cause our diamonds are 275ish. I'm fine getting the ball in quick and holding runners to...

    Lifting heavy in season.....

    I've had great results in the past when getting a call to sub just after I've finished a workout. Down a shake and go. I'm tired, but the bat feels light, hips are firing and I find I'm killing the ball.

    Lifting heavy in season.....

    I've been doing 531 for a few years now. This spring I switched to a 2day/wk routine and love it so far. DL/OHP on Sunday and Squat/Bench Thursday. These may change depending on league and tourney skeds and what not but it's going good. Leave lots of time for ball and additional...

    Anyone build there own BP pitching screen ?

    Not on a scale. I had it in a canvas bag that those foldup launch chairs came in for a while but it didn't last long. It's now in a heavier duty bag. I'd say the whole thing weighs maybe 40lbs give or take. Heavy enough to stand up but not so much that you can't carry it. Pieces are 3"...

    New Powerlifting Routine

    How the **** do you peak on 5/3/1? I'm guessing you have now lifted all the weights ever, cause that's really the only way I can see someone peaking on 5/3/1 after only 18 months. Either a) you didn't peak b) you weren't running the program correctly, or c) you're full of ****. Frankly...

    Winter Program?

    I've been doing 5/3/1 for about 2 years now. For more info check out this forum. Wendler posts here constantly. http://tnation.t-nation.com/free_online_forum/jim-wendler-531?s=forumIndexCat I've been working in 6+1 week sets. So you do your 531 weeks, increase TMs and repeat. Then...

    Lecithin

    Cutler King looks like mostly D3, which is a good thing to be supplementing. Especially this time of year.

    Sport...so we don't hijack another thread!

    Crossfitters aren't athletes (and neither are body builders)

    League home run rules

    Leagues around here are usually either +2 (mens) or +1 (mixed). Works well. If you have two teams that can both hit them, then it becomes about timing them. You can end up allowing a team to hit 4 at an inopportune time. If only one team can hit them, use them wisely. By +2, I mean that any...

    Salomon Speedcross 3's?

    I picked up both the Speedcross 3's and a pair of Adidas Vigors. Used both for a few BP sessions and both are great - make my tanels feel like cinder blocks. I think I'l wear the Vigors over the Salomons for game 1 though as they feel (and look) a little more like a shoe and not just a canvas...
