been a little behind on this log thing, but i've been practicing alot. 2 to 3 times a week. starting to get the hang of the stones. hammer is a little slower but getting there.
Waterloo Iowa Irish Fest in a couple weeks. i try not to plan on big throws just going to go have a blast. at least i'll get to watch the fenom crowley throw again. the Lama told me to do some plyometrics to help my foot speed. so i got that going for me. |

Crumby day at the gym so i played with
the stone instead. Got it to my knees on the first try. Watched Steve Jeck's video for some insperation and got it to my chest on the second attempt. Third try was to the knees again. My forearms are going to need some roughing up, and of course my phone decided it didn't want to record any of the three lifts, but it felt damn good getting the stone up. |

Leg day yesterday. Just did some box
squats. Gonna do 3 weeks of 2 rep sets at 80-85%. Today DB incline worked up to 120s x2. Got a really good stretch at the bottom. I really have to start doing something for my gut( besides a big bowl of ice cream ) |

The last couple of weeks have been some crumby workouts, then i
read the last few posts on the deadlift page. Wow, i've watched the Jimmy V video three times. So having not done any deadlifts for probly a year i got off my arse and did some today, and with half way decent form( i was always the guy you see doing them and it makes you kringe). It felt really good doing them again. Then i farted around awhile with some push presses. 195 felt light for a triple and then i barely got 225 for one. Grrrrrr. So i thought i would try some single arm DB push presses and i love these. Goal by spring is the 150lb db. |

After doing just above parrallel box squats
and half squats off the pins i realized i have zero flexibility/strength below that. Tried some ATG today and it felt great. These will definitly be my main working sets from now on. Thank you guys/gals for teaching me yet another way to improve on my fitness. |
