taz said:American football team in Morecambe, quality. I remember you saying you wanted to have a go at playing it. Offensive line, can see you playing there to be fair. Very valuable position, when I played running back it was always good when offensive line was good. If not trying to go through a non-existent is never nice Good sessions as well mate Still need more players mate if you fancy a comeback! | |||

| Back to logging my training as I failed at keeping a paper-based log. Never did quite do Crossfit but did get a bit fitter and down to 112kg.Currently 114-115kg and playing American Football for the recently founded Morecambe Bay Storm. Main position is on the line as an offensive guard (right-side), so my job is to protect the QB and block for the running backs and basically having multiple physical battles with the opposing defense. This week... Monday 8th August Football practice 2.5 hours, hard intense session Tuesday 9th August Rest Wednesday 10th August Rest Thursday 11th August Football Practice, 2.5 hours, easy session Friday 12th August Garden session (have quite a bit at home now) Squat (belt & wraps) 221kg x 2 x 5 sets Push Press 111kg x 2 x 6 sets Sat 13th August Ring Pull-ups x 5 / Press-ups x 10 / Air squats x 15: 9 rounds in 20 mins 9kg Med ball throws (laying on back) into press-ups | |||
