WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!

Well we won both of our championship games thursday.

The Greybeard league (30 and over, yes I am 30) game was a close game. We ended up winning 52-50 at the buzzer. I hit the game winning layup, but the play was made by my teamate who pushed the ball through all kinds of pressure the full length of the court with about 5 secs on the clock, and hit me for a wide open layup after my guy slid over to stop him. The greybeard league was the more competitive league of the two. Those guys know the game better than the younger guys, and they know thier limits, so they tend to play smarter, have less turnovers. But we were more athletic than most of the other teams we played because we were younger. Two of the guys on the greybeard team also play on the open league with me. And we will be adding another guy from the open league when the summer rolls around, so we will be winning it again.

My teamates awarded me the trophy after the game.... It felt good.



Later that day I played in the open league championship game. We won that one rather decisively. They matched us talent wise, but skill wise and chemistry wise we were miles ahead of them. We ended up winning by about 15. So that was my second championship in one day. Along with two other guys who play on the greybeard too.

Now Im looking forward to defending our championship in the summer leagues, which start in about 2 months.

I hurt my shoulder falling down during one of the games, so I was not able to lift yesterday or today. I hope to get back into it Monday. Last time I weighed myself I was 220, so I am still making progress on my goals.

I leave you with this quote from Eminem
"Critics wanna criticize,
but could visualize,
individuals lives,
through a criminals eyes"

Has nothing to do with my post..... but its pretty deep.

Down Goes P90X!!

So I decided to drop the p90X. Not that it was not working, because I was seeing results, its just that I love to hit the gym and the free weights. Especially since I have a free gym I can go to that is only a minute away.

So I found me a good 4wk lifting program, and I am going to hit that and see where it goes.

Today was my first day on it, and I am pleased. Did chest today. Here is how day one went.

Bench Press 10X5 115lbs
Incline Press 10X4 95lbs
Fly 10X4 30lb dumbells
Dips 12X3
Peck Deck 12X3 80lbs
Leg Raises 15X3

I found the workout plan on Bodybuilders.com. 5 days, separate body part each day, and I will cardio 3 times a week. I usually play basketball, so that can take care of my cardio, but I plan on taking a jog at least once a week in order to keep my distance running up to par.

I have two playoff basketball games tomorrow, one in the morning and one in the evening. Both against the top seeds in the playoffs. So both look to be good games.

I love good games so much more than blowouts. You get more satisfaction out of holding your own against good comp rather than beating up on some guys.

Ima lave you with this track....
This was the anthem for a while!!!
