I do mine standing, rotate into it, the whole bit. It's almost more ab exercise than shoulder at this point. But I find incline pressing hurts, this doesn't and it seems to be helping my braemar if nothing else.
Plus, it's fun. And honestly, 25 years in? I'm all about enjoying training right now. |

Absolutely man (in regards to enjoying training). I'm gonna start adding them in more and more because my braemar sucks 6 shades of shit right now.

I have been thinking about adding some standing landmine pressing as an accessory as well. It makes a lot of practical sense to me and I need to shuffle my accessories from time to time anyway.
Thanks for the reminder, Tom |

You can do them with a caber too. Super shoulder destroyer there.

Convinced our gym and school gym(where I train the hockey team)to buy a landmine. Works great for woodchoppers/twists. Love to stagger the feet like stone and do one arm press.

Not 50? But yeah. Landmine press. It's the new Zercher! ;) Saturday, June 18/16 A1 - Sled Push/Drag - 90/180/180/180 - Using the Prowler 2 on the outside lane. I swear this was harder than the 320 earlier in the week at a few spots. Friction hell. A2 - Landmine Press - 35#x10, 45x10x3 A3 - McGill Crunch x10x4 B1 - Leg Ext - 200#x15x3 B2 - Hamstring Curl - 130#x15x3 Sunday, June 19/16 A1 - 2Board Press - 60kgx10, 80x10, 100x3, 110x3, 122.5x7 A2 - Band Rows - 25x5 A3 - Ab Wheel - 10x5 Followed by: WFD work Hammers WFD was all over the board. Tried some things out, didn't work, went back to some others, worked well. Hammers was looking like a good day but I blew a bolt in the boot after 2 throws and that pretty much aborted that. But I had an old throwing partner come back and that was awesome. Now I have to check the almighty calendar and see if the boy's arm has had enough weeks to start lifting weights again. |

No go on the boy's arm yet. He's back to being fighty again, though, so it's close.
Tuesday, June 21/16 A1 - Snatch Pull/blks - 50/70/90/100/110kgx3 A2 - DB Bench - 50#x15, 70x10, 90x10, 100x10x2 A3 - Neutral Grip Chins - BWx3x5 Didn't have time for much, but it was still fun. |

Ellerslie HG It was all KINDS of Day 2 in there. Weather was great, but it's not like the sun and heat don't take it out of you either. Primarily, I threw garbage but managed to win the caber purely through villainy anyway. That would be my lone high point of the day, throwing-wise. Outside of that, I had a great time and even got to watch my kids dance a bit so that was a nice change. The butcher's bill was in today and it wasn't too bad. Lower back's a little tired, calves are fried and I'm dehydrated to beat hell. Nothing irreparable. Which is good because I'm competing again in 5 days and I need to get out and at least do a little tweaking. I'm going to get my ass handed to me, but I don't want to drag the team down too much. And it's going to be a shit-show of a week from a work and life perspective on top of all of that. First world problems ftw. |

00Dark30 - Even up here, the sun doesn't get up this damn early. Snatch Pull/blks - 60kgx3, 80x3, 90x3x2, 100x3 Landmine Press - 25#x10, 35#x10x4 Neutral Grip chins - 3x5 Mostly a lot of movement and sweat. Stretching and BW squats throughout. Warmups were kb swings, some chins and unloaded bar work with the landmine, plus the usual light cardio, movement and rehab. Body's sore. Going to keep pushing it until Wednesday and then give it the break it needs before comp this weekend. Trying to flood my system with water, protein and calories right now. Getting old's a bitch. |

Red Deer Highland Games - Saturday, June 25/16
The home games. #19, in truth. Originally, I was going to be throwing twice (morning AND afternoon) but I decided to give up my slot to keep the athlete count to something reasonable. I figure if I'm the guy double-dipping, it makes the most sense if I bow out. And just to prove that no good deed goes unpunished, the dude I gave up my slot for hurt himself about 2 events in and spent the rest of the time in his truck. *sad trombone* Anyway! Met Damien Fisher. Nice kid. I was thinking at the beginning of the day "Huh. He's a really cool guy for a track and field guy." Yeah, then he told me his background was basketball. No wonder he didn't have that douchebag smell coming off him ;) I broke his heart a little by making him throw a 20# open stone instead of the beautiful 16# thing we have, but I think we made it up to him in weights and hammers. Oh and Robbie Young totally son'd him and Curtis Derocher by making the WOB jump from 14 to 16'. It was a gamble but it paid off. Pretty much made sure Robbie took the day. Pro move. Anyway, I threw Masters. 20# Open Stone - 34'7" - 2nd. Meh. I should have been able to stand throw that. 42 WFD - 44'6" - 2nd (you'll see the trend emerg). Not a bad toss. Big thanks to Jim Garrick for pushing me here. Joel broke the CDN record here with 54'4". LWFD - 62'2" - 3rd. Missing something here. Probably a left hip ;) But that damn dirty Garrick inched me out here. HH - 84'2" - 2nd. Trash. LH - 111'6" - 2nd. Less trashy. Caber - 18' 98#, 1:00 - 3rd. Joel had 11:45. Passed on his third. Then Garrick came out of nowhere, dug deep and knocked him by 5 minutes. Hilarity ensued. 42 WOB - 15' - 2nd. Joel went 17'9" and erased my record :) 2nd overall to Joel who had a great day and I believe truly enjoyed not waking up early ;) |

Ok, let's see:
Saturday, July 2/16 - Selkirk HG They put on a good show (except for the caber, which we ended up doing for distance. Which was fun, honestly) but I threw like an asshole. Sunday, July 3/16 Flew back home stupid early, got a call from a buddy to throw. So I did. Took a step back in hammers and weights and guess what? I threw what would have basically been seasons bests using maybe 80% effort. Amazing what happens when you don't fight stuff. Monday, July 4/16 A1 - Snatch Pull/blks - 60kgx3, 80x3, 90x3, 100x3, 110x3 A2 - DB Bench - 70#x10x4, 100x8 A3 - Neutral Grip Chin - 3x5 B1 - SSB Bench Sq - 70kgx6, 90x6, 110x6, 130x6, 150x6 B2 - Meadows Swings/Rear Delt Fly - 35#x20x3,15#x20x3 Tuesday, July 5/16 A1 - 2Board Press - 50kgx10, 70x10, 90x5, 102.5x5, 115x8 A2 - T-bar Row - 25kgx20x5 A3 - Ab Wheel - 10x5 Can you tell my wife and kids aren't home? :) I also mowed the lawn, made up a new trig, did some repair work on the weights and finished all the laundry. |
