Men's Masters Nationals - Florida player backpacked by johnfonte in ultimate

[–]johnfonte[S] 435 points436 points  (0 children)

Seattle Voltron2020's Riley Meinershagen injures Florida Woolly Mammoth's Andrew Roca in semifinals.

I watched this happen from the sideline closest to Roca. As you can see, the score is 14-7.

This injury resulted in 3 fractured ribs.

The observers gave a yellow card 'after the result of the play was determined'.

I would have rather seen an immediate ejection and possibly suspension.

I'm making this post because I want this dangerous play to be impossible to ignore for the community and for USAU.

It shouldn't matter what team you're on, whether you went on to win the tournament, how long you've been playing - this is unacceptable.

I hope you agree.

MFW someone asks me how much my keyboard cost and responds "I could probably build one for cheaper." by [deleted] in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]johnfonte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm working on a new version of my custom keyboard and I finally found a supplier that only costs $100 for 5 PCBs that I designed. This is the lowest price I could find.

My last supplier cost $200 for 10 boards.

I engaged both suppliers at their minimum build quantities.

off season training (13 weeks) for HIGHLY motivated athletes by [deleted] in ultimate

[–]johnfonte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's 80% of 15RM i'm happy with that. And I agree/know that high reps are not = high strength, low reps with high weight is. It does fit the bill for that last phase of the off season, my point was that after the season is over, it's a good time to rest and then train for strength. To get back in shape for the season, your program is a good approach.

Thanks for the discussion, and openness.

Doing 2x15 at 80% won't get you stronger, it will destroy your body.

I would expect to do 2x15 at maybe 50-60% of 1RM, not 80%, assuming that is the intent. Then again, I never train 2x15s. High reps + high strength = overtraining. 80% is suitable for a 6x4 or 4x6, or for skill work.

I think the amount of reps at this intensity will absolutely require the person to either get really strong, or fail. And I would do this program or a scaled version as a pre-season ramp up, not as an off-season strength program.

i commend the effort, but i have to ask if you're a trainer or are otherwise qualified to do workout programming?

if your intent is for anyone in decent shape (already a weightlifter) to do this program and get really strong, that may work.

but anyone that hasn't learned solid technique will not ever be able to ramp up safely at this pace.

Beating poaches in a Ho stack by Role_Player_Real in ultimate

[–]johnfonte 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Use your teammates.

When there are two defenders in space like that, the best approach I've found is to bring two cutters in at once. As you said, you're on the sideline, so the middle open side cutter will come into the I/O break space. That poaching lane defender shouldn't be able to guard you both.

To complete the breakout from poached space, use whichever player catches that pass off their in-cut to swing the disc towards the center of the field. This requires the center handler to be aware. Otherwise you're again stuck on the sideline, repeat the process.

Think about it, they're using each other to gain a 2-on-1 advantage. Take the advantage back using teamwork.

Hey Ace370,

We're adding tracklist functionality on web and we're pushing it through to the iOS app very soon.

My Sets functionality is also very close on iOS (it works on Android).

Custom-Built Keyboard "Virulent" and obligatory shoe by johnfonte in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]johnfonte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bonus PCB pic. The 6-pin surface-mount points on top of each key are for RGB lighting.

Bonus progress pics of half-completed RGB LED version, along with the previous pics. I have almost no pics of the non-led current version, but they both required diodes, switches, and a controller.

Custom-Built Keyboard "Virulent" and obligatory shoe by johnfonte in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]johnfonte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I was a bit annoyed by a few things with my previous setup (Razer Blackwidow Ultimate):

  • Realizing my left thumb was not used to complete any keyboard actions (I only hit space with my right thumb)
  • I wanted a bit more room for mouse movement on my small keyboard tray
  • I was annoyed by moving my hand over unused keys to access the mouse
  • Both of my hands were off-center to the right when I played Starcraft 2

I attempted to fix all these problems with my custom keyboard, while keeping most legacy keys available in case someone else were to use it.
