11/18 Hammer time! lots of winds and throws with heavy and light hammer x about 90 minutes- maybe 50-60 throws- making adjustments but hammers are still very sick- need to go to see the hammer doctor |

I would have to see a doctor after that many winds only because my entire
torso would be wrecked! |

Nov 22 Gallup NM (Coach Williams Home Gym) 7,000 feet altitude- definitely feeling the out-of-shapedness up here Jerks 196lbs 3 sets of 10 reps- weight felt pretty easy but lungs did not like it Deadlifts 518lbs 5 sets of 4 reps -no belt- easy 25lb plate twists into hammer release 5 sets of 20 (10 each way) Adriane-the only reason I don't get wrecked doing so many hammer winds is that I don't use torso enough/correctly-(that and I'm wiry and have old man strength) |

11/23 Exciting Galllup NM spent better part of afternoon taking care of some poor 87y/o that was hacked up in a machete attack to steal his car too cold and dark to get much throwing done outside-so off to Gallup fitness center threw 2kg med ball in raquetball courts x about 30 reps using MSA open stone technique (sure can turn alot easier on raquetball court than off grass) 20 minutes on stationary bike |

bummer about the old guy, hope he's alright.. you'll know you're putting enough torso into it (well at least part of it) when you strain your abs.. I'm going on a week now and it's still nagging at me, lol..

How do you like the overweight WFH? Is it light enough to pull fast, or too heavy?

Duncan- the main negative issues I have with the KB are the length of the implement is relatively short, the handle is relatively fat and hard to grip and timing is a little different - positives are mainly that it develops some specific strength for the event- probably an adjustable weight with a ring handle at about 70lbs would be better (at least for me)

Awesome deadlift strength! I do have one question though -
why the high rep jerks, even at this time of year? What is the point of doing these for more than 5 reps (at the most)? |

12/7 (Pearl Harbor Day) 22lb stone overheads x 5 (best at 41ft) Braemar stone with 22lb stone x 12 (31-34ft)- trying to work on more separation 56lb WFD x 10 28-30 ft (foot work not good) 56lb WOB cleared 13', 14' and 14'6" on first attempts, then had 9 misses at 15ft and then finally cleared it on attempt number 10!!! (this was a big milestome PR for me and got it done with after deadlifting yesterday)- so I was particularly pleased
Peter- I had given myself an arbitrary goal of 225lb x 10 with Jerks (I realize higher reps not all that specific for throwing and will transition back to lower rep stuff fairly soon) |

12/13 Albuquerque NM
At local big box gym down the street from home in Albuquerque (land of the biceps curls, bouncing bench presses and fake breasts-which means absolutely no wait for the olympic platform) hang snatches 135lbs 5 sets of 5 reps Jerks up to single at 285lbs for a new PR (took two attempts- borrowed some chalk on second attempt and smoked it- probably good for another 10lbs- think if all goes well may get 300 overhead by time Phoenix games roll around in late Feb) then jerks for 8 doubles at 185lbs (began to slow down on 8th set so shut it down) Cambered bar flat bench press up to 275lbs (left all the power on the platform)- never thought I'd see the day when my long skinny arms put more overhead then at the bench press Cheat curls up to 225 triple side hops over bench 8 sets of 10 (5 each way focusing on immediate touch and go) 35lb plate twist to hammer finish 5 sets of 10 (5 each way) |

12/15 -Back in Phoenix (Die Hard Gym) Deadlifts (1996 Marathon Suit/Belt) up to easy single at 645Lbs (double overhand hook grip) then took off belt/suit for (200lb band added) pulls at 405 x 3 triples heavy band resisted hip blocks on right side 5 sets of 10 reps 10 x 30 yards sprints while wearing 50lb vest (70% speed) Mike- if Cosner will have me back -definitely am planning on coming to San Antonio (not sure if I'll try to do both Master's and A's yet- how bout you)? Gene- olympic platform and the fact that the gym is only 1 mile from the house is the only reason I train there (of course if I dumped a big squat like you did in the video they'd probably have me arrested for scaring the old people)
