It's that time of year again! On behalf of Ring of Fire, I would like to invite everyone out to men's competitive pickup ultimate on Wednesdays at Lake Crabtree Park @ 6:00pm. We will have our first session, weather pending, this Wednesday the 24th. Competitive pickup is open for anyone to come out and enjoy, but we would like to stress that we host this event in order to provide prospective Ring tryouts with a small taste of what playing for Ring of Fire is all about. With that in mind, we strive to provide ALL local ultimate players with a highly competitive scrimmage style format where they can challenge current Ring players on the field and also get to know a lot of the guys prior to our tryout dates. Taylor Pope will generally run field setup and scrimmage logistics every Wednesday and I will be sending emails weekly to remind everyone to come out and play! When there is a chance of bad weather, I will also do my best to keep everyone updated on the status of the fields and any cancellations that may occur. Please shoot me an email at thomas.c.ward7@gmail.com if you have any other questions about pickup and we look foward to hosting everyone! We will see you Wednesday!!

3rd p90x workout: shoulder and Arms w/ Ab Ripper x
I am definitely enjoying the p90x so far. It is nice not to have to think about whats next, and it is easier to get the right form with the pros doing it and correcting each other. Tony Horton is definitely a goof but he keeps it light. Alright well the shoulders workout was 5 groups of exercises. In each group is a shoulder exercise, a bicep exercise, and a tricep exercise. You do each group twice before moving to the next group. The bands I use go from easiest yellow to green to red to blue to black hardest. Also for many of the exercises you loop the band on the ground and step on it to make it shorter and harder. Pretty sure none of these exercises will make sense, but I welcome you to come and do it with me or bring some dvds over and we can burn them ( i think).
Shoulders and Arms 58 minutes
Group 1
1. Alternate Shoulder Press 15 green 15 red
2. In and Out Biceps Curls 16 green 16 red
3. Two arm Tricep kick backs 12 green 14 green
Group 2
1. Deep Swimmers Press 16 red 16 red
2. Alternating Full supination concentration curls 12 red 15 blue
3. Chair Dips Knees bent to make it easier 15 15 last 4 had one leg out (harder)
Group 3.
1. Upright Rows 15 Red 15 blue
2. Static 4 rep switch curls with off hand held at 90 degrees 16 blue 16 blue
3. Flip Grip Twist Kick Backs 12 green 12 red
Group 4.
1. 2 position tall/bent forward shoulder flys 16 red 15 red
2. Crouching Cohen Curls (?) 16 red 12 blue
3. Behind head standing tricep press 12 blue 12 blue
Group 5.

2. Congdon curls (?) curl up hammer down 16 blue 12 blue
3. Sidelying 1 arm tricep press ups 12 left 11 right 12 left 12 right.
Then 16 minutes of Ab ripper X which is 11 exercises 25 reps a peice.

The Beginning
Hey Ring--
I figured with all the emails going out about workout ideas and what people are doing to get geared up for the season, this blog would be a good use of publishing and keeping up to date with your teammates (near and far) preparing for 2010. Feel free to publish anything ranging from workouts, to theory, to injury prevention to times you are going to be throwing during the week.
Newly appointed captain T-unit will hopefully be publishing an inaugural workout article soon.
I'll figure out how to password protect this sometime soon.
