Hey everybody I'm new to the board and to the games. I've only competed
in 1 so far and that was LaCrosse's games last summer. I had a blast. I throw discus, shot, and weight for UW-LaCrosse so Highland Games are right up my alley, I am training with Northsider in his back yard and we have plans to hit as many games as we can this summer. If anybody has any tips for training or anything else please feel free to fire them at me. I'm here to learn, ------------- Luke Crowley Everything. All the time. |

Yeah I'm the only one to post on my thread... but I didn't want it to feel neglected. Anyhow I was wondering what everybody thought is the single most important lift someone can do for the games? I would think something like powerclean or snatch... but then I guess a case could be made for deadlift as well... anyway let me know what you guys think. ------------- Luke Crowley Everything.

why dont you ask that question in the training forum, you'd probably get a better response than what you are getting now (nothing but ridicule) ------------- Wade Halverson "The Highlander was a documentary shown in real time" |

You were the sandbagger at LaCrosse, right? In that case, I would suggest you bashing yourself in the knee. With a pipe. Does that help? ------------- We can evade reality, but we cannot evade the consequences of evading reality. - Ayn Rand |

| There is not one single lift for HG nor is there one for any other sport. You have to train the whole body and there is not one exercise that will do that |

Don't worry bud I'm not trying to devise a one lift work out plan here I'm just trying to get a feel for the type of lifting that would be sport specific for the games. ------------- Luke Crowley Everything. All the time. |

Luke, Your training for the throws at UW-L is what you need. Except for training a few different events the lifting should remainn consistent with the things you are presently doing. If you search through the training threads that will be made quite clear. Now as you get older/mature and get better technique in these events, I recommend you do heavy cheat curls in the squat rack at any event I am competing at ------------- "A man has to know his limitations" - Detective Harold Callahan |

Weasel, I tried the pipe thing, but found the wedding night video to be more
painful... I think I'll go back to the regular lifts. ------------- Luke Crowley Everything. All the time. |

I see your making friends, Luke. I do like the idea of a little pipe action, perhaps something to even us out a bit, but that's gonna take one hell of a pipe. ------------- Wade Halverson "The Highlander was a documentary shown in real time" |

Around this crowd, you'd best not mention how you'd like "pipe action". Clevenger might take you up on it. ------------- We can evade reality, but we cannot evade the consequences of evading reality. - Ayn Rand |
