Waukeen's score

[Waukeen]

Hey, it's been a while since my last score submited here :p

But you know, studies, moving 8000 km from my house, that takes a lot of time :(

But ! I'm glad to be here again, and i'm starting again to submit some scores.
However, my scores aren't as good as they were before i stopped 7 or 8 month ago :(

So the purpose of this thread will be to see my progression, i'll submit each score made by day, in the order they were made, and my previous scores before i stopped. I hope to be able to make scores in the 12k range soon :)

==================================================
So here we go, first, old scores :

11 638 (RH) :

What are they your three highlights? What do you do for an average session warm up speed enduro etc?

[Waukeen]

First thanks for your answer :)

Well, to be honest, i just take my powerball, and start to spin it.
But before i stopped 7 month or more ago, it was usual for me to make scores over 11 500, and now, it became quite hard.

Maybe i lack some method, or the way i spin it is not good.

Maybe you could give me some tips about warming up, or what you usually do before your speed run session ?

[LTLFTC]

I'm not the best person to speak to about speed as I suck there. But when I was doing 12.9k I was stuck there for three months then I got some advice about warming up. Personally I just do a one handed 90's Left then Right nothing hard just somewhere in the range of 12-15k then I do a hard 30's both hands then I launch into speed runs.
I do a left then a right 5 each then 90 a two handed 90's run then speed runs 10 or so the endurance.
I normally have hour to hour and a half sessions. My speed and endurance are usually peaking around 40-50minutes in.

This may not work for you but just warming up alone took me from 12.9 to 13.4 in about a month after 3 months of nothing

Hope it helps:)

[Waukeen]

Thanks for your answer LTLFTC :)

I think i'll give a try to warming up before trying speed runs. Hope this will work aswell for me than for you :)

[Waukeen]

Hello everyone !

I had a veryyyyyy long time without my pb (i moved from Martinique to France, had all the stuff packed, except the pb ...; then i got married, etc etc).

Now that i have it back at home, i will restart the training soon, i hope it will help me to get rid of a persistant pain in my neck, near my shoulder ...

Anyways, i'm glad to be back here, results will come later ;)

[Installed]

Hey man I definitely remember you from way back then. Welcome back!

[skylerwd6]

Hello Waukeen! Welcome back man it's been a long time and I expect to see some decent scores out of you soon because we need to get back to our friendly rivalry

[Waukeen]

Well, you're way ahead now, i'm only around 11000 now, but i'll practise and catch you :p

[Adrena1in]

...then i got married, etc etc).

Welcome back and congratulations. I bet that once you get back into training you'll find the rest will have done you good, and your scores will shoot up! :)

[skylerwd6]

Well, you're way ahead now, i'm only around 11000 now, but i'll practise and catch you :p

Well then I'll just use my left hand because it's not very fast anymore

[Waukeen]

Don't worry Skylerwd6, i could be back in the fight sooner than expexted, got this after 2 days of practise :

Hehe ;)

[avfc]

nice to break the 12k barrier again ;)
and you're only about 100rpm off your record now aswell!

[Waukeen]

Yep, i think it's a good sign for the upcoming runs :)
Now i'll see if powerballing will have an impact on the weight i can lift :p

Probably not Waukeen, but weightlifting will have an impact on powerball.

Congrats on 12k, I bet you can do a lot better. :cool:

[Waukeen]

Thanks :)
I still thinks it will help one way or another : sometime i miss some "grip", and i think the powerball training will improve this grip imho.
Maybe i'm wrong, i'll see :)

[Installed]

Oh you're right, sure powerball will improve your grip for any activity it's just not going to give your arms the raw strength needed to lift heavier weights.

[Waukeen]

Little update regarding 30s run : Almost at my goal :)
