Food:

-Bowl of Kashi cereal (Cinnamon Whole Wheat)
-Two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on Whole Foods cinnamon swirl bread
-Turkey sandwich on honey wheat bread
-Two slices of aforementioned cinnamon bread (so good, and now I’m out)

If it looks the same, it’s because I haven’t done much shopping lately. I will go tomorrow, probably. I have some chicken I want to pan sear and I’d like to pick up some asparagus to go with it as well as brown rice.

Workout:

Resistance Training
3×7 elevated push-ups
3×10 crunches in various positions

Interval Training
5 cycles of jump rope

Steady-State Cardio
1.0 miles on a treadmill

Sport-Specific Training
-Threw 30 forearm drills, 20 High Guard drills, 20 max intensity pitches, 20 @ 70% intensity into a net
-Practiced Maxline fastballs, Maxline Pronation Curves, and Maxline True Screwballs

My grasp of the Maxline True Screwball is really improving. I think that if I work every day on it that I’ll be able to throw it by the end of the month as my primary breaking ball. My understanding of the Marshall theoretical motion gets better and better and I have no problem pronating through release on my fastballs, sinkers, and screwballs, but I cannot figure out how to throw the Maxline Pronation Curve well enough. For now I’ll stick with a supinated curveball until I master the screwball release.

Here’s a few video clips of what I’m talking about:
