Softball tournament

This was my first time playing in any softball tournament. The tournament was 1 pitch, so you had 1 pitch to either walk, hit or strike out. We went 0-3 and really wanted to work on our teams decisiveness on pitches.

Game 1:
Walk, HR (dead center), out swinging(lololol)
Game 2:
2 doubles, single, out swinging again
Game 3:
Walk, single, fly out that was caught over the fence line with bases loaded (that bastard stole my grand slam)

I have zero desire to play in anymore tournaments.

Welp. Gym closed an hour earlier than I thought it did oh well.

Today is one of those days where you just go in there with no drive and do the work because it's what needs to be done not because I actually want to do it.

I should have a normal lifting schedule this week due to no football.

365 x 1 form went to shit will post videos



" So first glance, It doesn't look like you're getting lat tightness. Hands are wider than necessary. They should generally only be wider than they absolutely have to, to avoid your thighs. Feet look a wider than how I conventional.

But biggest thing I saw was probably lat tightness/pulling slack out of the bar before you pull

Your shoulders went forward. If you lock your lats in, pulling the bar to your body, your shoulders shouldn't dip forward like they did

As you drop your hips for the last time to start to pull, think about pulling the bar tight to your body, should eliminate slack in the bar in the process"

Softball
We lost both games. We started out scoring 4-6 runs in each of the first innings and we held them fairly well defensively. Our bats absolutely sucked after the first inning in both games. I pitched both games, and I did really well. I walked probably 6 people, but spread out between 2 games that's not that bad. I made several key plays on the ball. One attempt on the ball I put my bare hand down to get a hot grounder. I didn't stop it as much as slow it down, and the second baseball turned it into a double play. My hand is bruised from it, but we got the double play.

I batted:
3-4, 2 singles and a triple
1-3, 1 single
