Well, the Chiefs lost their last two. Last night: lost 3-2; a key play occurred in the 1’st inning when an apparent double scored a runner from 3’rd with 2 outs. But the ruling was that the runner did NOT touch 1’st and when that was appealed, he was ruled out, which made it a force out. It was 3-1 in the 9’th and the Chiefs did score 1 but that was it.
Stranding all runners in a bases loaded situation did not help.
And today, they lost again, 8-5. They started out well, taking a 3-0 lead after 1. But if we can score 3 in an inning, so can the Tincaps, which is what they did in the 3’rd. it was tied at 5 going into the 8’th when the Chiefs made a whole series worth of bad decisions, throwing the ball away several times in one play, and then getting thrown out trying to stretch a single into a double. A solo home run in the 9’th added insurance for the Tincaps.
Still the Chiefs took the series 4-2 and are 1 game back for the remaining playoff spot.
Time for a tough decision I know that there are guys my age and older that deadlift big weights. BUT, I have the back issue and I want to walk long distance. And we all have our abilities.
On the other hand, a certain type of deadlift feels very good to me: either the low position with light weight, or the high position (wagon wheel, high handle trap) and I can feel the “pump” when done; no radiating pain or back pain at all.
I think it is time for me to admit that low position only works for me with fairly light weight and save the challenging stuff for either wagon wheel or high handles.
Today: 10 x 134, 10 x 184, 5 x 224 (sloppy)
wagon wheel: 2 sets of 5 x 245 (again, straight bar, glute focus)
6 inch: 10 x 280 (felt the pump in the quads)
Then I did an ambling 4.1 mile walk in 1:05. It was warm but the walk felt good.
