TRAINING LOG: Doug Kressly

May 17
Back felt much better, really needed to work WFD drills
LWFD Standing, 10 pulls concentrating on hitting low point and
opening up, felt good.
Single spin, 5 pulls concentrating on hitting power position plus all of
the above
Full spin, 5 pulls fell apart a little at first, slowed down and waited on
the weight to come around a little more. Seemed to help.

HWFD Standing, 10 pulls, 2 inches away from best full spin in Wichita,   
Singles, 5 pulls all about what I normally throw with full spin
Full, 5 pulls, first couple were bad, last 3 slowed down and really
concentrated on the final pull, season PR of 2 ft. (Big thanks to
Duncan!)

Light Hammer winds, 10x10 each way
Light hammer 10 throws 75% concentrating on countering hips and
staying long and loose

WOB, BAD BAD BAD, no explosivness, out of juice

May 19
Planned on working sheaf and stones, weather had other ideas.
Really wanted the quick tune up before Joplin. Sat down and wrote
down a few season goals instead.

O.K....... apparently the lil Mrs. Forgot to sign out last time I went to
post! I would say something but frankly, she she scares me a bit! Lol
May 23
Normally a squat day, but the weather is supposed to turn bad
tomorrow so wanted to take advantage outside while I could.
Lwfd, 10 standing pulls, felt sluggish, 10 1 spins, more sluggish, 10
full spins, yep you guessed it, sluggish.
Open Stone, these felt decent, hit 40 with a 15 lb stone, 37 with the
19 lb. Did these using my odd ball glide/bull rush technique. Tried
working a spin, hit around 35 consistantly, needs work.
Braemar, not great, refer to lwfd for explanation.
Sheaf, did about 10 pulls nothing great, shanking it off to the right
pretty bad. Of course the last couple games I have been using Irvin
forks, mine just feels wrong now, big difference!
Thinking I should've taken a little more recovery time. Gunna scale
back some lifting and hit the field more, thanks Wayne!

May 28
Went out and hit all nine events today, 5-8 throws
per.
O.S. nothing great, still trying to get the spin
down.
Breamar, felt better than last week, really open up
and snapped the hips.
LW. Slowed it down, concentrated on waiting on it,
and keeping my cast lower.
HW, see above, felt much easier to handle.
Hammers, PR! Got told at Wichita "if I'm gunna
carry that much ass around all day use it on the
hammers" did just that, thanks Brittney!
Caber, worked on planting and popping. Felt
better, gotta keep the elbows bent.
Sheaf, nothing great, 25 ft with a 20lb bag
WOB, bane of my existance. Somethings off, I was
just squeeking over 11 every time. Just for kicks
switched it to left hand and cleared it by about six
inches inches all 5 throws. I guess my feeling is if I
can clear it that easily with the left oughta be
hitting at least that with the right, anyone ever run
into this? Need to get some video done to
compare

June 6
All events -wob/caber about 50% trying to work form, clean it up
before KC

KC games
Despite my poor showing had a blast. Really disappointed in every
event, oh well chalk it up to a bad day I guess. Got over a month till
the next one, have to get healthy and pull it all together.

Thanks B, but you know what they say bout excuses!

June 14
LWFD 15 throws nothing special, had some issues
coming out the back of the box.
HWFD 4 throws, felt some pressure on the ankle
called it good.
Light Hammer got 4 throws, snapped the handle.
Damn shame to, felt better than they had for
awhile.

Damn, date should read june 16 above, brain fart!

Workin on it! Got some of my wfd done, just needs cut down. They
will be posted this weekend. Camera couldn't take the winds
yesterday. Will get more vids this weekend

Light Hammer

Here ya go.... thoughts??

June 21
WFD, about 15 light, 15 heavy. Worked on sinking down a little more
in the turns, using more leg drive. First spins all felt better, release
was WAY to high, looked more like a spinning wob release. The one
good thing is I was hitting about what I normaly do with it. If I can
get the release down some should see improvment.
Sheaf, about 20 pulls, 20 lb. Felt decent, nothing below 26, most were
touching 30. Played w/ a spin hit 25 fairly consistantly once I got the
timing down.

June 22
Jump rope 20x50
We need speed. Speeds what we need. Greasy fast speed!
