Sorry for the slow reply. Holidays were bus...Matt,<br /><br />Sorry for the slow reply. Holidays were busy. <br /><br />First, the rice bucket is huge for baseball. For sure you want to get into that and you can do it all the time, season or not.<br /><br />I would not necessarily suggest flip-flopping the schedule for baseball unelss you are starting right now with the season only a couple of months away. Then I would probably abridge the entire program unless you don't mind giving up some performance early for better performance later in the season. The PAP stuff is huge for baseball. Shoot, it ALL is. But the hypertrophy vs performance is still a factor. You won't be as powerful when you are gaining mass, so your heaviest lifting should be done as far away from performance goals as possible. I woul definitely strucure your plan to get a good round of PAP before the season starts. You could do it occasionally during the season, too, for maintenance.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-76932490085196809892011-12-18T12:21:56.022-07:002011-12-18T12:21:56.022-07:00Steve, you did an earlier post saying that if you ...Steve, you did an earlier post saying that if you were sports training you should start with Phase II...I am training for baseball...would you recommend it for that? How about "rice bucket"?Matt Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07956163014114282757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-91982755166274911442011-12-16T09:57:39.453-07:002011-12-16T09:57:39.453-07:00Steve:
Thanks for posting this stuff; I have a ver...Steve:<br />Thanks for posting this stuff; I have a very similar (if slightly more modest) set of goals for 2012. I have been doing endurance sports from about 4 years,and P90x for 2 years (right now at a 50-79% intensity). My main goal is to climb Rainier on July 31st and to dramatically improve very primitive excuse for Nordic skiing. Please keep posting your training thoughts and plans; you'll be breaking a trail for the rest of us. -RobBackcountryArchernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-85815028704530765132011-12-14T23:45:26.491-07:002011-12-14T23:45:26.491-07:00I like it.

Obviously there's the 90X and X2 goal as well as the bigger goal of losing 45 pounds. <br /><br />Adding some endurance stuff will be hard with the two kids, but I want to be on the bike and running more consistently. First, it's more fun to be outside, and second, I think it helps me for weight loss.<br /><br />Some climbing stuff might be good too, but I'll have to wait and see how my elbow feels after some more P89X.<br /><br />~RReednoreply@blogger.com
