Met up with some guys I just met to pull in Lawrence with Dominic. Seem like cool guys and I'm looking forward to pulling with them in the future. They haven't competed yet but I'm pretty excited to see them pull in their first tournament next month.
I was able to pull defensively on my left with no ill effects. Did a lot more on the right side and my hand, risers, and pronators are still very sore today (Tuesday the 17th). Did some bloodflow work yesterday and today with the hope of being able to get my strength work in either Wednesday or Thursday.
What I'm trying to work on right now is side pressure. I'm realizing that my short forearms are basically limiting me to a Toddroll style. I need to work very hard on cup and side pressure. I'm not gonna be able to climb over tall guys in the SHW so I'm always on the clock when the match starts. Speed is my friend. I plan to work hard on this at table practice either in KCMO or with the new guys.
