4 March 4:00 PM Melius residence Got done with track practice early cause they were having a junior high track meet. I was going to do some sledge hammer strikes rather than do body building stuff in the weight room like I normally would on thursday. So I hit a few with the 8 lb sledge and remembered what my wife had told me earlier in the day, she said something like this "you know those limbs that blew down are still in back yard". I got the hint. I grabbed an axe and machete rather than the chainsaw and pruners. after about 45 minutes of fairly vigerous tree clearing I did not need to do any sledge hammer strikes. The swinging with lighter tools really loosened me up after yesterday's fairly rough leg day. I think I will feel pretty good for clean and press tomorrow. |

I am eager to hear how the clean and press goes. Also, Coach, mind sending us mortals some shot drills?

Duncan, the best way to practice for shots that I have seen is to practice with mixed drinks so they aren't so harsh then slowly add more liquor so they get easier to take over time
5 March High Noon Tarleton Athletic weight room Clean and jerk in kilos 120*2, 125*2, 130*2, 135*2, 140*0(could not catch it today, weird felt real slow)130*2, 125*2 Deadlift in lbs 335*3, 385*3, 425*3, 465*3, 515*2, 565*1, 605*1, 415*3, 415*3 1:30 PM Melius Residence I got back from lifting at school and my roomate and some of my other friends were about to get some bench in, I had enough in the tank to hit some three board press and chains. I am taking a week off next week, so what the hell? Flat bench 245w/two half inch chains as side *12 335 two chains *7, *8 445 two chains *2(rough) 445 three board press *6 535 three board press*3 445 three board w/ one chain *2 (very hard to stabilize) 245 with two chains again *10 In case you are wondering about the weird amounts on the bench its because I have four 100lb plates I my house and that makes it a lot faster when changing weight. This killed me. I feel almost like I did a whole games today! I am going to be one sore hombre when I hit the floor in the morning.

8 March 3:00 PM Tarleton Rec Center thunderstorms this afternoon and we could not get in anywhere to do some real practice so we played volleyball for two hours. I ate lunch at 2PM so I was really hurting on this one. I am not lifting this week just games and throwing to get ready for my first games of the year this weekend. |

10 March Just found out today that my first games this year was moved or changed or something. Week of rest, while necessary now seems a little less relaxing. I will just be that much more prepared once I actually get to do a games. |

it took me five days to post my training log update because I have been remodeling my guest bathroom 15 March Tarleton Throwing complex Full games menu - 6 throws of all the events with Spencer, Jake and Jake. It went well save the fact that I got my A%^ kicked all day. Broke my latest caber though. I feel like I have been lifting everyday but in reality I have not lifted in almost two weeks and have been doing steady labor instead. Its not all bad, but I am going to be ready to get back in the groove on monday. |

23 March Back after two weeks off, a complete batrhoom remodel and my first games I felt pretty fresh but I was not as intense as I would have liked to be. 3:00 PM Track Practice 8 single spin lwfd throws out of the shot out ring during practice. I was working on accelerating through the finish, the last two went over the 60 foot line at least two feet. I threw out of the shot ring just so I could have some guidlines for how far I could move. 5:00 PM Tarleton Rec Center Flat bench 405*5, 425*5, 435*5, 445*5, 405*5 Flys Incline machine Pec dec 7:00 PM Tarleton Intramural Field Slowpitch softball game I know this is not really highland games training but anything that makes me run and stretch a little counts for making me quicker, besides its fun to mix it up with the college kids and see what I have. |

25 March 4:00 PM Track Practice I did some of the plyo work the kids did 7 - 20" hurdles set about 5 feet apart and a medicine ball in between them, jump the hurdle and at the bottom of the landing position grab the med ball and come up throwing hammer style twist toward a trash can. 7 jumps 6 throws a set. I did 4 sets and was gassed, the kids did a lot more stuff that than but I got all I wanted cause lets face it I am not 19 any more. 5:00 PM Tarleton Rec Center Back squat - no support gear today even lifted in regular tennis shoes just to see where I was. Now this was no squats for two weeks so I was pretty fresh. 405*5, 455*5, 495*5, 545*4, 405*5, 315*8 (last two sets I tried getting lower than normal and I can feel it right now) Straight leg deadlift 4 sets hack squat machine/leg press super set 3 sets Seated hamstring machine 4 sets |

Right on man, May is the month when I am really going to try to turn it on to peak for TSF. I have got my a#$ kicked there the last two years have had enough of it. Appearently lifting like a bodybuilder but eating like a powerlifter is not the way to get better.

"Back in the day"...that was a Wednesday, right? One day we'll all get together at Casa de Melius, grill an animal, and then hit the weights. It will be epic. Training through osmosis doesn't work. I tried on all of your clothes while you were in the shower and nothing changed...still minus 40 in the OS. Hate you. |

Spencer - I don't know what to tell you I am doing what I can. I think this summer will be a step in the right direction. If you started a training log, no one would believe you any way. Duncan - You need to come on down I am not sure you have really seen me in my natural environment yet, it could be good or bad. I know one thing the training would be intense. 26 March High Noon Tarleton Athletic Weight Room Clean and press warm up to 130 Kilo 5 sets of 2 We were all sore this week so it was not as intense as it could have been, but it will get better next week. Deadlift 5*4 @200 Kilo Quick as possible I came up on the toes pretty well on these and they felt much better than the cleans Front squat 225lbs 3*6 Not my best lift but I am making progress |

29 March 4:30 PM Tarleton Rec Center Flat bench press 405*5, 425*5, 455*4, 405*6, 405*6 The last two sets felt pretty fast after coming down. I think I am over the two weeks off and am ready to get some poundage on there. Incline Fyls Incline Dumbell Bench 6:00 and 7:00 PM Two softball games, I actually had to run a few times and I felt ok. I think I may actually be starting to get a little spring back in my step.

Yikes! What weight are you going to be using once you "get some poundage on"? BTW, are these full-on bounce benches, touch and go benches, or fairly strict benches? |

Pete, I start out strict on the heavier stuff casue I am kind of affraid to bounce that with no pad or towell. I move on to the more explosive type benching at the end of the workout. Craig, You would really laugh if you would have seen the crap I was doing a few years ago. |

you mean the way you would have you hardest week of lifting the week leading up to nationals? or was it eating one chiken breast a day while lifting and running like crazy?... i guess it did do what you wanted it to... whhat did you lose? 120lbs in 5 wks?!? impressive!!! it just sucks to know that you should have thrown 65+... you know, like you did in Brady after a long recovery! BTW Baab said he is down for saturday afternoon. said it would give us a chance to get over our impending hangovers. |

Spencer, It was 83lbs in six months. yes I am finally beginning to understand over training a little. Sounds good about Saturday it will not take much for my lame a$% to get a hangover any more. 30 March 4:30 PM Tarleton Rec Center one hour of three on three basketball. I am terrible at basketball, I am sure there are people in wheel chairs that can beat me one on one. (No offense to any handicapped throwers out there). I was real gassed after this but I am feeling faster. 5:30 PM Bi's and Tri's I got some real good work done on ez bar cheat curls and skull crushers. |

31 March 3:00 PM Track practice 4*8 Straight up 7kilo Med Ball throw 5:00 PM Tarleton Rec Center Back squat 405*5, 495*4, 585*2, 585*3, 405*0(didn't even attempt to go down with it) I was done after this. I think I played a little too much basketball yesterday coupled with the med ball throws I did not have anything else. oh well I did not want to push it and end up so damn sore I would not be able to move for saturday. I am planning to go throw with Spencer at the Mike Baab TRAINING COMPOUND AND ETERNAL YOUTH SPA. |
