First game of the year, Central Florida HG. Had a lot of rest half due to lifting schedule change and half to a sickness but turned around well and felt good for the Game.  I had a less than stellar stone at a little over 36 ft .  Used a breamer because i suck at the spin.  56wfd I pulled around 33'  and 28 was around 63f.  hammer was first event today, only got a 83ft pull.  Sheaf was unpredictable ended with 30' then tried 33 but failed.  Ugly 12:00 on caber then 13 on wob.  have some things to work on but that gave me a 2nd overall finish behind Kevin.  Let the fun begin.

Threw Heavy hammer tonight.

started throwing a 80%  was stiff from squats yesterday.  I started opening up my hip on release,  do not remember doing this before but it felt natural.  I pulled an average of 84' once warmed up with no effort.  Tried to force it out over 90' but the opposite happened.  going to try to stretch out my orbit and add a little more speed at the top.  we will see.  need to work on it.

Throwing in the rain.  Started with 28 wfd and threw for about an hour.  Trying to work on timming.  nothing stellar in distance but started to feel good.  when i speed up to fast my low point is still ending up to the right side of the trig instead of the back.  I am trying to find a way to add more speed without overprocessing my brain and letting the weight get ahead of me.  Next I threw heavy hammer which is starting to feel right.  I have learned to point my toes out rather than straight, this seems to make me more stable and I am trying to catch the speed from the back rather than try to pull it.  this is resulting in some good pulls my last three were at 86-87 ft uphill.  this is great  for a person with a 89'10" PR.  lost the sun so had to quit but was a good session.

Craig, that just means thad I push the concentric as much as I can plus I drive until I am on my toes or even jump slightly.  I have been plagued with small calves and working this and jump deads has been (at least mentaly) helping my wieght for hight and distance where calf exersizes do not reap much reward. I naturally am inclined to walk on my heels rather than my toes so when I turn in the box I end up planting that heel to much during a rotation.

deads

170x8x3,  260x8x2,  348x8x2, 440x8x2

sumo deads

348x6x6  havent done these in years started to do them for fun,  I did these pausing on the floor  then pulling mostly with the hips, they feel like a jump rather than a dead.  think i will add these at random.

did some hang snatches with 135.  still working with form. want them to feel mechanical before i add more weight or i will just upright row and press it

small session but i feel good, hope to do some throwing this weekend.

Got to the field for some throwing.  Stone went normal,  17.6 lb stone.   I breamered around 34' avg.  got to some spin, trying to learn how to get into the power position from the rotation.  that hurts the brain.  only got out to about 37'.  hate that event.  Next threw some HWFD.  started doing one spins working on the final pull, worked up to 28' then went to a two spin pulled up to 32'.  Timming needs pulled in to add the same pull i get from one spins.  Did some Lwfd put up to about 62' nothing special, feels to light to drive hard with. Heavy Hammer was next.  This is really starting to feel natural instead of chaotic.  stretched out to 89'  still cant break 90', soon though.
went to throw light but then i realized both middle fingers missing a bunch of skin and pussed out.

Lower shortened my workout.  Workouts have been taxing on my back and stabilizer groups this is my last week of 8’s.  Think I’m going to rework this plan a little.  I based this off of the acclamation phase of the Juggernaut system by just repeating that phase for four weeks.  I was trained for the first part of my life by farm work and bodybuilding books. We had no track and field to speak of but the highland games have taught me a new standard of training.  The problem is I have ended up with adequate main muscle development but my auxileries suck.  The Legs love to work and usually do not tire during a workout, but my stabilizers tire fast under constant stress and I have been watching my workouts dwindle because the back is exhausted.  I have purchased a 10mm belt after a forum post, I hope this helps.  I either do not wear a belt or I use a nylon excersize belt when training never tried heavier.  I have a problem were as soon as I but on a belt I push my abb muscles out against the belt rather than keep them pulled in to support the spine.  This is the reason I usually do not wear a belt for deads.   I am stuck between working muscle groups to a “pump” which my brain says is a good workout and the new techniques I have learned in training for the games where I may leave sore but not exhausted.   For some reason my brain thinks if I still have energy I should use it. I need to find a groove where I am working hard enough to see new growth but I do not feel tired and stiff going into the next workout.

Active Rest Day
 
Played the game of threes with the sheaf, used a 16 lb bag.  after a few warmups i started at 30ft then worked up to 34,  by then it was getting dark and could only tell i was close is if it hit the bar.  overall spent about an hour and a half out there, not a bad night.  Still turning my shoulder to look at the bar and washing myself out.  need to work on that.

Coulda been words from my own mouf.
 But it's been a pleasant surprise to see results with less "effort" i.e. hours in the gym. It was hard to wrap my head around not being drenched in sweat at the end of a day.  But yeah, I am in the same boat, albeit a much smaller boat...maybe a canoe.....
Dont know whose log it was that I saw it on, but Palloff presses are my new favorite plaything. One-legged Palloffs=Star

Small world Tim,  I will look into these one-legged Palloffs.  Did a little trowing this weekend up in tennesse,  Nothing great, hit solid numbers all day but throwing the 56 WFD for well over an hour sure crimped the rest of my day.  Overall a good session albiet in the 30 degree range.

Chest
 
Flat bench
135X10x2, 225x5x2, 275x3x2, 295x1, 315x1, 335x1, 355x1, 375x1(PR), 315X5x2

ez bar curls
85x8x2, 135x8x2, 155x8, 175x6.
 
I have not thrown more than 295 on a bar in like six months, did not think i would get above 325 on the bench.  I believe now in this perentage range training i got to 375 and it felt like 325 six months ago.  Time to reassess the percentages and start either fives or six rep sessions.
