9/19/2012 Braemar Stone HWFD LWFD My legs were still insanely sore from Monday but my throws actually weren't too horrible. Trying to involve my hips a lot more especially in the stones and it feels very odd right now. 9/20/2012 Deadlift: 45x10, 135x5, 225x10, 315x10,10,10 Clean Pull: 100kg x 5,5,5 (I'm terrible at these pulls... probably a good reason to do more) Good Morning: SSQ Bar x 10,10,10 Leg Curls: Some light single leg stuff to work on my hammy that's rehabbing very slowly I was expecting these deadlifts to destroy much but it wasn't as horrible as I expected. 9/21/2012 Was at a hotel in San Fran so I did Pushups: BW x 10,10,8 (Since i'm fat these were probably harder than what i was supposed to bench) Tri Pushdowns Single Arm Rows

9/26/2012 Push Press: 45x10, 95x10, 135x10,10,10,10,10 Pull Ups: BW-Grey Band x 8,6,6 DBell Row: 105 x10,10,10 Prowler: 2P x 4(Slow) Jumping from 3 sets to a goal of 5 work sets at RX'd weight this week has been exhausting. Back is getting a serious workout especially since i'm not belting up with anything at these lighter weights.

Wow - that's an impressive amount of volume you got going on there. I'd last about a week.

It's all that Matt Vincent guys fault that I'm doing this much volume.
I have kind of a love/hate relationship with it right now as I think it'll be great for me but the workouts kind of feel like death. 8 more weeks then I get to get back under 5 reps.

9/19/2012 Open Stone: I weighed my small stone and it's only 14# so I need to find a better one but I am getting better at using my legs and hips properly and that's my focus right now. LWFD Hammer -I need to get a real hammer... the ballistica just feels odd doing hammer although I guess it works the same muscles 9/20/2012 Deadlift: 45x10, 135x5, 225x10, 315x10,10,10,10,10 Clean Pull: 60kg x 5 80kg x 5,5 (did less weight because I wanted to do them more cleanly and 5 sets of 10 deadlift took it out of me) Good Morning: SSQ Bar x 10,10,10 Prowler: 2P x2 slow x2 fast Will be out in Scranton, PA for the next couple weeks... travelled with my ballistica set at 28# to keep up with my throwing.

10/2/2012 Squat: 45x10,10, 135x10, 225x10, 275x10,10,10,10 Snatch Pull: 60kg x 5,5,5 Good Morning: SSQ Bar x 10,10,10 Threw in some ab stuff. Been noticing a lot of good throwing advice in other threads with videos so i've got a tripod on the way to video my throwing practice. Was planning on doing it anyway for analysis. Happen to have a camera from work that does high speed video so you can even watch me in slo mo.

10/3/2012 Push Press: 45x10, 95x10, 135x10, 150x10,10,10 Pull Ups: 8,8,8 w/ the pussy pullup machine Hammer Row: 3x10 So trying to make up a workout this week and doing this 2 days after my bench workout and the 3rd training day in 3 days made this pretty brutal so I was basically a big wuss in the gym.

Deadlift: 45x10, 135x5, 225x10, 315x10, 345x10,10,10 Clean Pull: 60/80kg x 5,5,5 Good Morning: SSQ Bar x 10,10,10 Leg Curls I usually do the pull ups band assisted but when traveling sometimes I switch things up. I don't think doing sets of 1 would be very beneficial. My back is a major weakness I'm working on. |

10/9/2012 Squat: 45x10,10, 135x10, 225x10, 275x10,10,10,10 Snatch Pull: 60kg x 5,5,5 Good Morning: SSQ Bar x 10,10,10 Was pretty exhausted from a long weekend and a long work day but managed 4 sets at 275. I think i'm to the point that I need a deload... my back was still pretty sore from those deadlifts on Friday. Need to throw this week

Deadlift: 45x10, 135x5, 225x10, 315x10, 345x10,10,10,10 Clean Pull: 60kg x 5,5,5 Leg Curls That 4th deadlift set crushed me... my erectors were so pumped that it took me a while to suffer through the clean pulls. My back had no juice for the good mornings. I'm ready for a deload... high rep squats and deads beltless is destroying my back but in a way that I think will just make it stronger. No bad pain just very sore.

Any throwing tips/criticism/mockering is more than welcome. I've noticed a couple things myself based off what i've read before... gotta get my right foot more active among other things.
It's kind of a light stone. Braemar is went 41' or so up to 43-44' with the glide. Had a couple LWFD that hit 68' or so with 2-spin... at 55-60 with 1.

Got a little distracted by life there... well from updating that is.
Testing week for the first 10 week block has so far gone like this. 11/12 - Squat: 405x20 (So maybe I underestimated my squats a little but 405x20 sounds cool) 11/13 - Push Press: 245x7 11/18 - Bench: 315x8 Deadlift (Shooting for 545x10+) is tonight. Kinda ended up doing these over a week and 1/2 due to work. |

Ended up getting 545x8 for the deadlift. I haven't done this much squatting in a while and it's taking a toll on my back which is hurting my deads. No biggie.
