Warm Up Front Squat 135x3, 135x3, 185x3, 185x3, 225x3, 255x2, 275x2, 295x2, 315x1, 255x3, 255x3, 255x3 much better. Still weaker than I'd like, but better. Box Squat to 20" height 225x5, 255x3, 275x3, 275x3, 275x3, 275x3 very snappy Tried some SL Bulgarian Split Squats but got out of position on first rep with right leg and my weird piriformis/sciatic nerve whatever lit up and I couldnt do them any more on that side. Changed to Goblet Squats / Land mines 45# x15x3 sets / 3x20 @ 35# plate added Hill Sprints! 10x20m up a 5-8 degree hill. Nothing crazy but trying to use my surroundings to my advantage to build some speed.

16# Ostone Stands x10 best of 44' Glides x6 best of 48' goal was to throw 48' with as few throws as possible. No bad but not good, should take only one HWFD 1-turns x3 best of 36' Fulls x8 best of 41' finally feeling normal here 22# Hammer 1-Winds best of 90' Fulls x8 best of 102' This practice had some good feels to it but distances were lack luster.

Throws HWFD 1-turns x5 best of 37' Fulls x8 best of 41' LWFD x8 best of 78' LH x8 best of 124' Kinda slumping. Definitely can tell my timing/rhythm is off. Hoping a few days off will help me get back on track for this weekend and the second half of the season.

Glasgow Lands High Games, Florence, Massachusetts PROS: Beau Fay, John Collins, Mike Zolkewicz, Dave Barron, Jeff Kaste, Rob Meulenberg 22# Braemar- 38'5.5 16# Ostone- 49' HWFD- 42'4 LWFD- 84'11 woo Light Hammer- 129'2 Heavy Hammer(1 attempt only)- 104' Caber (22', 110)- 85 degrees Sheaf (done after for fun)- 27'4 WOB- 14' WOmp WoMp Overall tied for first but on tie breakers 2nd to Murderberg. Really a fun games as it always is. Not going to do an event by event break down but essentially in every single event I did much better than I anticipated. I had a crap week of practice leading up to this games so I assumed I would throw like garbage. Very happy to have competed well and have some solid numbers. I did f**k up in WOB, left 15' all out in front. This screwed me for the overall as Rob had a very good day as well. Came down to the Caber as a tie breaker and Rob is one of the best in the country so he took the W. With the 2nd half of the season on the horizon, 2 week away, this sets me up nicely to make a push to throw far and be competitive. Going to push it in the weight room this week as it's forecasted to rain like every damn day. But I will be ready by Detroit in 2 weeks. Excited!

Throws in oppressive heat/humidity HWFD 1-turns x8 best of 37' Fulls x8 best of 40-41' wasnt really trying to get after it, just working consistency/smoothness Heavy Hammer x10 best of 102' these were not as consistent due to humidity and tackyness (or lack there of)

Threw some WOB at my Apparatus. Working on timing, and using my legs more. Video evidence revealed legs could have been used more. Story of my life lol WOB @ 14'3 x5 made 4 of 5 @15'3 x8 made 4 of 8. Ones that were missed were out in front. I finally started to get dialed in and cleared the last 2 by 8-12 inches. Who knows if it'll translate. Warm Up Hang Cleans 135x3, 135x3, 185x3, 225x3, 255x2, 275x1, 285x1, 291x0x3 booooo just wasnt there today Front Squats 135x3, 135x3, 185x3, 225x3, 255x3, 275x2, 295x1, 265x3, 285x2, 305x1 noice Dead Lift 225x3, 225x3, 275x3, 325x3, 325x3, 325x3, 325x3, 325x3 all done as fast as possible.

Jeff, as on and off as I seem to post, just want you to know that it is appreciated that you consistently log on here. So why the eccentric work at this point in your season? How do you lay out your training focus??? Never dove deep into the depths of your mind and how you lay things out. Thanks man! |

Hey Justin,
Thanks man! I don't expect many people to read this as it's mostly for myself, but it is nice to know that you (and maybe others?) are enjoying it! As for why I am doing eccentric work now, I dunno. It's different, and I like to find ways to challenge my body during the season. If I just do straight speed work all the time, events like caber, WOB, and sheaf (even though it is light) seem to fall off. Eccentric training to me is like a throw in something. You build until that release (concentric phase) and you build slowly. So is there a carry over? Probably not, lol but in my mind, I can correlate taking 2-4 seconds to descend before exploding up again with the throws. The rest of my training focus is to keep moving decent weight smoothly for as long as I can. I am pretty weak overall, so I cant do speed squats at 365-405. Those would be slow moving, so I keep it at whatever weights will move quickly. ANd then when my final 2-4 games are approaching, I will drop to straight speed work and throw more. At that point, there's no reason to keep pushing in the weight room. At least, not in my mind. Not sure that helps. It's certainly not revolutionary, but I just try to keep things fun, fast(ish) and going far.

8/4/18
Detroit Highland Games, Livonia, Michigan PROS: Damien Fisher, Chuck Kasson, Andy Vincent, Jeff Kaste, Nathan Parker, Luke Crowley, Kevin Becker, Tom Sroka 18# Stone- 45'5 5th LWFD- 81'4 1st 22# Hammer- 103'9 4th Caber (long, heavy)- 85 degrees 6th WOB- 15' 6th Overall: Tied 5th I was really happy to get to throw here again this year considering last year I had a bit of a hiccup in my games which cost me a guarantee of coming back. As always, with 5 events, any slip ups can cost you BIGLY. THis occurred in several events sadly. Stone was blegh. It felt great but wasn't going anywhere. Damien informed me I was opening up immediately, so there we have issue numero uno. A must fix. LWFD was nice. I wasnt expecting to win with Becker and Chuck and others there but I managed to get a nice one on my last attempt that took it. Heavy Hammer started nicely as I opened with my best throw. But then I kept missing positions and could not better my opener. Becker snaked me for 3rd with a PR on his last attempt as well. Caber was actually good for me. I have never come close to turning this stick but I got 2 85's (one attempt was junk) and it hung up at the apex for a second as well, faking me out, making me believe it might turn. Alas, they did not but I was happy with my timing. WOB was the biggest mess up (shocker). Missed first attempt at 14'. Missed 1st attempt at 15'. At 16' I had a perfect attempt trajectory wise but it hit the bar squarely in the side and didn't rollover. Just needed another inch. Happy where this is headed back to after many years of it not being a good event. Overall it was a solid games. Won the farmers walk again after for some extra cash which is always nice. 2 more games in a row with Fergus and Maine coming up. Then the big push for the final 3. Gotta fine tune a few events and keep the others where they are. We shall see how it turns out! Thanks to Kurt Pauli for having me out again!

There are more benefits in terms of my time/life with the basement gym. However, I miss the toys/Body building machines the gym provided.
I will need to get a couple more things (SSB, chains, heavier DBs) to make the gym complete but otherwise, I think i can be creative enough to still make progress with my training, especially in the off season.
