Training Log: Nathan Parker

Sean wrote: One thing that might be causing your drift issue is moving before the weight has hit zero. You've got some drag on that thing and it's not like you weigh 3 bills. Your body isn't going to compensate for that without some cost. Your cost is lean. Which is why left side foul.   Wait until the implement is moving forward or at least is neutral and you shouldn't have to fight it by leaping left. Sean covers this with the observation that your left foot isn't down yet. You're applying force with 1 leg.

You have just nailed one of the issues I am having from time to time but didn't really know why.  This is why I read everyone's training logs.

finally got a chance to watch this.

LWFD x 8-10?

Worked on getting left down faster. The first few throws felt really weird. Found my groove(kinda) around the 5th throw. It feels like I'm learning the event all over again. I didn't feel as fluid as before. All that said, I had big practice PRs the last three throws. 81-84ish. I have no idea if I solved the fouling problem, as I have no idea where my feet go after the first turn.

Will post video later tonight. We'll see.

Oh, and I blew a callous for the first time in three years. Womp womp.

I think it has to do with pulling instead of pushing on the sprint. It appears as if you're naturally countering the weight and allowing your left shoulder to pull for your sprint instead of turning and driving straight. That's what I mean by slapping the right side of the trig. For me, if I visualize slapping the right side of the trig, it forces me to focus harder on driving straight and pushing the weight instead countering and pulling. Just a thought.

Here's a visual of what Sully is talking about.....

Slapping the right side of the trig with the implement, Sully?

Sean-  thanks for the compliment.  Need to do it when i counts(three throws).  With my schedule, extra throws are hard to come by.

I need to jump on your program.  My calves are puny.

Better calves generally require new parents. 

Extremely close and weird spots while squatting can sometimes prevent growth. 

One or the other is probably responsible. 



ETA:  For srs, walking out squats is the best calf work imo. 

The floor is such a bro. 

I'm 36 today, so why not set a deadlift PR

Happy birthday Nate.

Thanks Dunc and Tom. Been a good day thus far.


40/81 no fouls.

Thanks Sean!
