So I haven't lifted or thrown anything since early Nov. because of a faulty appendix, so we'll see what I do now. It should be exciting and possibly funny. I have yet to actually to compete in any games so all these throws are practice. Before August of this year I have never thrown anything other than typical sports objects (football, baseball) and occasional tape balls into the trash can. I wrestled and played baseball in High School and that’s it. So here is my log which will start tomorrow.

 

 

 

 Such a nice day I had to go see how much I lost on my distances.

BS - average 23'7"
LWFD - average 38'
LH - average 60'

So I lost some distance but it is workable. I should be back in no time. Not to mention that my legs have been screaming at me all day long. Next time I am gonna try and video some and will post them.

Threw O Stone and light hammer this afternoon. I am kinda excited because I was throwing about were I left off 8 weeks ago. I videoed my session and I must say, this is the first time viewing myself throw and I have a lot to work on. I mean a lot.

I am in the process of putting it all together and I will post tonight or tomorrow.

Yesterday was such a nice day, went and threw again.

Did some hammer work tonight. I lightened up hammer to about 11 pounds to practice my form.

Felt pretty good averaged around 91' with a long of 96'
 
gym tomorrow and more throws on Sat.

I thought it is January? 66 degrees today, so I went to throw.....in shorts, YES!

Watched a lot of Matt Vincent videos and then went to the park all fired up.

numbers time:
13#hammer: averaged 77', long 80'
LWFD: averaged 40', long 41'6"
O Stone: averaged 30', long 31'6" PR
Braemar: averaged 23', long 24'4"

So all in all had a good day. I reweighed my hammer before adding weight and it actually was at 8 pounds. So I threw in the 90's with an 8 pound hammer. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, man that's not good. But gettin' better every time I go out.

Right on man, lettin the beard go for a while.

Can't wait for NTKG, hopefully I should be back were I left off by then.

Little side note, my new O Stone PR is 31'10", not 31' 6". Don't really know why I put 6 on there yesterday.

Yesterday's field excursion

Threw at the park today.

Ostone- average: 31'4", long 32'9" PR

Yeah baby, I videoed it and honestly have no idea why I threw well. I still have to keep my right foot turning and I am still throwing at about a 60 to 70 degree angle up! So I think if I bring it down and get that right foot turning, I will be happy. Then I need to work on the hips and shoulders. One thing at a time right.

Trip to hardware store today and picked up a few items. Needed a better WFD system and don't have the money until tax return to buy good stuff. So I spent 20 bucks and created  my implement. I only have about 20lbs in weights, so another trip to the second hand store and I should be good to go.

LWFD with my new contraption. Btw, with 5x5lb plates, total weight is 29lbs 2 ounces.

5 one spinners (27',27',32',32',31')
5 two spinners (42',42',41',42',38')

Braemar: 10 throws (21',22',23',24' seriously,24',25',22',23',23',24')

Good throws but my hand is tore up.
