Pete Mayhews Scores & Progress

[Armitage]

nice session i hope to have some of these soon too

[xaverr]

Congrats for your new Dual Video... , I made 13.285 and 13.256 the other day..., I was very surprised

[Installed]

17.5k is a pretty darned good RH ed tech! My best is just under 17k from awhile back; but like you pointed out, theres not really any point so I didn't try much harder.

[ARZG]

15 and already at 14k!! I'm impressed- I'm 15 and only power balling at 11k, however I've only just started (3weeks ago)...in a years time hopefully I will improve to around that too but it won't be easy... it wouldn't surprise me if you were to break the record; you got the dedication and motivation as well as being young

[petemayhew]

Cheers.

I'm resting now, only light powerballing.
So more plastic sessions less metal as I believe I have reached quite a high standard in metal speed, for my muscle mass, weight (10 st) and age. So I'm going to try and build up muscle by doing weights etc. Then re-train on the beast.

Thats what stage I am in right now Pete; I'm doing mostly weight training with a little 250hz action to keep me in shape to powerball. I WILL return though!!

[Installed]

I start by just using the metal at slow speeds for 5 maybe 10 minutes. After I do a UPC (Ed tech) on my right hand. After this I rest a bit then do a 30 RH, rest again, then another 30s RH. Then I do a speed run. Normally I get the record straight up but if I don't then I just do another 30s RH run and I will normally get a record.

This is all on a 350hz, correct? ... it sounds quite painful

[petemayhew]

Correct.

It's not as painful as spending a huge amount of time with the metal
in one session nor is it as painful as getting your finger caught in it at 12K + speeds!

[ronasor]

I see its getting even harder for most of the people of breaking the 14k barrier... guess your lucky Pete, as in for your age and for your score
think what could have happen if your powerball was a "functional powerball" which has a sandpaper body (as in the material that are used in sandpapers... garnite and all those stuff ) and then getting your finger stuck in the powerball... just thinking of it makes me say OUCH!
Good luck with hitting 15k... I sense it will come to you by a surprize though..

Regards,

Ron

Very frustrating but very consistent to say the least.

I concentrated on my RH plastic speed scores and they were in order -

UPC
14244 - Best score today
14220
14145
14179
30s - 6347

END

It seems my best scores come the 1st run out of the endurance runs and then went down slowly until i did another one.

All in all new 30s record and very consistent.

Cya.
