   As I've said elsewhere, I'm really starting from scratch. The numbers I'm putting up lifting are probably what some of you guys warm up with. And my throwing numbers are going to be almost comical while I learn technique. But here we go.
These are what I'm starting with.
Squat max 145
Bench max 140
Barbell row 130
Overhead press 70
Deadlift  190
Light Hammer throw 50 feet (just sad)

Now, all that said, I've started a lifting routine this week.

Monday
Squats, bench press, barbell row 5 sets of 5 at 80% max.
1 mile run. Practice throwing hammer, try to develope technique.
Wednesday 
Squats, overhead lift, dead lift, 5 sets of 5 at 80% max
Friday
Squats, bench press, barbell row 5 sets of 5 at 80% max. 1 mile run.
Practice shot put with 10 pound stone.

It ain't much, but it's a start.

Increased my creatine intake and protien intake on lift days.

	Lifting from Wednesday.. Squats, 5x5 at 125lbs Bench press 5x5 at 120lbs Barbell row 5x5 at 100lbs. Just for giggles and grins I walked over to the resistance machines. I started on them about two months ago. As a disclaimer, I strongly doubt the numbers on these correlate to pounds lifted. Bicep curl machine 5x5 at 100 whatevers Fly machine 5x5 at 140 whatevers Ten pound open throw x20.

	Ok, haven't posted in a couple days but it isn't from lack of working out. Last Friday... Squats 5x5 at 130 lbs Overhead press 3x5 then 3 then 1 at 70 lbs. Just couldn't get the weight up. Was very disappointed. Deadlift 5 at 210 lbs Monday's lifting Squats 5x5 at 135 lbs Bench Press 5x5 at 125 lbs Barbell Row 5x5 at 110 lbs Weighed in at 219 pounds. I'm lifting heavy, upped my protein and lost weight. And Wednesday's lifting Squats 5x5 at 140 lbs Overhead Press 5x5 at 70 lbs Technique was clean, got the weight up. Deadlift 5 at 220 lbs... Officially lifting more than my body weight. Haven't been able to get any throwing in, but I'm considering throwing on off days.

	So, here's Friday's lifting... Squats 5x5 at 145 pounds Bench Press 5x5 at 130 pounds Barbell Row 5x5 at 115 pounds I've decided that days I'm not lifting to throw. Got 40 throws in with a 10 pound sledgehammer, averaging between 57-60 feet. With a 12 pound stone, 40 throws averaging 20-23 feet. I have no technique, so I'm trying to figure it out.

	Keep at it. We all had to start somewhere. The key to improving is consistently making it to the training sessions. The numbers, both weights and distance, will continue to creep up.

	So here's lifting from Monday... Squats 5x5 at 150 lbs. I was having some issues keeping my pelvis straight, but I think I have it sorted out. Overhead press 5x5 at 75. Kept these clean Deadlift 5 at 230 lbs. Thats about 15 pounds over my current body weight. Hammer throws today were averaging 60-63 feet with my light hammer. I think I'm finally getting a glide figured out. All my previous stone throws we're from a standing position. My glide looks like hell, but I've seen a big improvement in numbers.
