Good to hear no serious injury Tom. Flush the soreness with some high reps a couple days and train on. God Bless

Thank you all.
Bad news -- didn't train the rest of the week due to correct thinking family pressure to get medically checked first. Good news -- as of last night I have been cleared by a regular MD and my chiropractor (who knows what passes for 'normal' for my body) to lift and to throw. I'm headed out momentarily to brave the mud and get some WOB in. Tom |

No worries. The doctor on Thursday said, "Your muscularity protected you. You were too strong to throw around when they hit you." So I came home and thanked my coach.
Still waiting on insurance due to the holiday weekend. Saturday 7/4/15 56# WOB
Monday 7/6/15 22# Braemar (quick practice)

No worries. Just got awarded > $6300 for the truck. Not bad considering it was 11 years old and had 315000 miles on it.

I feel like I'm doing the 'wait for it to fall and chase it with my hips' but film will tell me for sure. I'm not tall, so I reached out to JVG on this some time back and he advised sinking further than I was. I just have to verify that I'm actually doing it now that my back is recovered.

Something that helped me recently (Z does it too) is to REALLY relax and go slow in the beginning. Literally just stand up with the weight and let gravity swing it a little behind you then swing it forward gently and let it go between your legs and bend at the waist, drive the hips down to chase it to the low point between the feet, then keep pulling like hell. When I do it right I feel it pull from the back all the way through the throw.

Nothing useful to report, just trying to keep myself from rolling to page 2 in the shade of the real athletes on here. I have managed some decent volume work in the gym this week, but it has all been maintenance level stuff. No throwing due to a mixture of violent weather and illness. Body weight is back down as well. Crap. Hard to catch a break this summer.
Still, things look better today, so here's hoping for field time over the weekend. Tom |

The weekend was illness and cycling migraines. F-that! so I took the 'burn it out' approach to great success.
Monday 7/20/15 Body weight is down to 196. I'll fight to get back on the proper side of 200. 42# WFD
28# WFD
Tuesday 7/21/15 Dead Lifts
Stones tonight if possible. Tom |

Thanks! I got a great deal. Even better - they will deliver it up to the house tomorrow, so we don't have to drive 100 miles back down to the city to go get it.

Saturday and Sunday 7/18-19/15
Helton Creek Falls trail hike with Duncan riding shotgun. Approximately 1/2 mile round trip, rated Easy, and it was even including some very careful rock hiking. Braemar Stone
O-Stone
56# WOB x 10
Sheaf x 10 = embarrassing but coming back. Hammer today if the weather cooperates. Bound to be hilarious. Tom |

Monday 7/27/15
16# Hammer
Fixed the following:
That's a lot of words to just say it was a super practice, but it was exciting for me. Hammers are fun again. Core and mobility work followed. BroTip! -- doing ab wheel work after hammers is a whole different experience than doing it any other time. Tom |
