TRAINING LOG: Jason Cherry

I was reading over your log. I thought you had a tendon thing and the Dr said no Deads or Squats, but then 3 days later you were deading again (oh, congrats on the 480, really nice Jason!)

Just wondering how the injury is healing?

22MAR10  MON

BW 187.5

Reps of 21-15-9 of 150# clean and press followed by 1.5 one handed KB Swings

Time of 21:24

25MAR10  THU

BW 187.5

HP  165  3x5   (was keeping hands close but moved them out to shoulder width)

PP  150  3x5

SQT  250  3x5  (lowered weight and got really explosive out of the whole.  DM  made comment about working on explosivness in his log and decided to give it a go)

DL  400  1x5  (again explosive from the floor)

BN  220  3x5

How I envision the power needed to destroy the stone, WFD, WOB, the Hammer, sheaf, and the Herald of Galactus himself...the CABER would look like.

27MAR10  SAT

BW 186.5

Stones:  Using my 18# stone I hit 21-22 Braemar and Open goes 25-27.  Of all the events I would think this would be one of my best but it just lags.  The rock is not heavy and with a good squat out of the launch of the rock it should really go...

WFD:  Heavy hits in the 17-18 range consistently and the Light goes 40-45.  It feels mostly like the weight goes around but I am not really muscling it anywhere.  If I can get that I might hit 50.

Caber:  My pull is late every time.  If I had a camera that took video I'd post it so you guys could see but I don't.  The pick is spot on.  I can run with it forever for what is worth but it ain't a race!

I will work on hammer winds tonight after kids go down and house is clean.

Peace fellas.

06APR10  TUE

Reps of 21-15-9

Clean and Press 155 and Pullups

17min 45sec

Still doing heavy lifting on Thursday (HP, PP, SQT, DL, BN) but doing explosive movement on Monday (this week it was Tuesday due to working last night on call).

I want that explosion out of the whole for WOB and Caber and thought heavier version of CF would fit the bill.

No offense taken.

11APR10  SUN

Stones:  Braemar is basically static.  The glide on the Open is moving up and gaining some distance.

WFD: Using the 42 right now and making some strides here and the 28 is also gaining ground.  Big difference was not starting out to fast on my casting turn.

Caber:  Turned it!!

Hammer:  Grrrr

Sheaf: increased PR by a foot.

WOB:  Using the 42 to get form down before climbing back into the 56; also Woodhaven Games in June I get to use the 42 anyway

14APR10  WED

Morning before work:

Stone:  Open only.  Glide is feeling good and results are more hit than miss.

WFD:  Throwing the 56 and the 28 at 730 without breakfast I felt sluggish.  Blocking myself out at the trig...

Evening after work:

Caber:  9 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 12 o'clock, degrees, 10:30'ish, degrees, 12 o'clock, 9 o'clock.  Finally getting the transition more frequently.

Hammer:  Nothing special here...grrrr

WOB:  Used the 56 today.  Matched my PR on first five throws then beat it by 1-foot on next two!

Called it a day.

25APR10  SUN

Time to bite the bullet.  Diet is still lousy...

Stone:  Nope

HWFD:  Nope

LWFD:  Once I got into it I was hitting 42'ish.

Caber:  Turned.

Hammer:  Used my spikes for the first time.  It was different.  No appreciable improvement but I bet it will be a learning curve.

Sheaf:  16'

WOB:  Used the 42 and was hitting 10' but my timing was off.

Even a bad day of throwing is better than no throwing at all.

28APR10  WED

Stones:  Did not perform

WFD:  Heavy is over 19 but less than 20...would like to get this 20+ but since last season I only got 9 on the books (faulting usually) this is a good step.  LWFD is around 42'...really think I could hit 45-50 if I can consistently get out in front of it.  Weight is on my back (right) foot at launch and I think it should be on the left.

Caber:  Turned 50% of them.  I think I am getting the hang of the transition.

I will do hammer, sheaf and WOB tomorrow after work.
