After 2 practices since May , throwing the Austin games killed me and I kinda sucked.
Let's see... No oly lifts No practice No intensity= soresoresore and sucksucksuck
Decided to fix that last week . got a new goal thank gawd and Arnold
Been jumping rope and doing agility drills and using 135 x 3-10 reps on a bar to re-learn Oly lifts. deads to overhead press to hang cleans to full cleans to muscle snchs to hang snchs to full snchs to full split snchs to whip snchs
feel better.

Definitely not superhuman even my aura is sore. As a matter of fact if I lift i get sore, if I do not lift I am sore, so, might as well have a reason to hurt.

7.09 Took 6 months off to heal body and mind and lost 40lbs. been doing normal slow gym lifting till it all stopped squealing and complaining. Starting back slow w dynamic lifting - in an effort to live to 100 , I will use tossing and snatches for power . If I start back squatting , my knees will not last to 100...or even 57 or so. Weight is hovering around 240 so I am actually gonna have to learn to throw and not just be a big moose. Normal paleo kinda diet - much more greens than meats Longevity plan.
60db 4 x 6 swing snatches 2 x 50lb db ppress fast 3 x 10 60db ppress rt arm only 2 x 10 7.10 28 spin drills 10 x 3 spins - was good by the end 42 wob x 5 200jropes
We're off.

I love the weight loss for the sake of health and longevity, and It won't be long before I embark on a similar path. I think that's just smart all around and a realization that all bigger athletes must come to. Although I don't know why you'd want to live to 100...sheesh.
