Some Tosses

July 29, 2017

Went up to Edmonton for some throwing.

15.5# Braemers - okay
23# Braemer - meh
42 Single Spins - forgetting how from doubles practice
28 Single Spins - crap throws
14# Hammer - bunch of throws. Jim pointed out my orbit was flat. Next throw I hit 95 and next was 93. Never thrown that far
16# Hammer - 4-6 throws

Later I tried lifting Aaron's 250# smooth granite stone. Nope. I was too greasy but I think it'd have me stymied under optimal conditions now anyways.

I did a full lift with a 225# D-ball (like a slam ball without a bunch of texture). Went for supper and lifted and loaded the 250# D-ball. Next time up I'll try the 300.

Throwing about every day now. Picked up some palonik's and Hevy hammers yesterday so I'll go toss them and the pud around later. The smoke is making it tough to stay outside though.

Ft Edmonton Games

July 10, 2017

Had a great day competing at the Ft. Edmonton games yesterday. Got another 3 PR's with garbage form as well. Luckily Aaron was taking lots of pictures so I can see a lot of technique issues to clear up and work on.

Another positive was after my first heavy hammer throw something went in my gimped shoulder and it was fine for the rest of the day although I didn't want to risk hurting it with the caber. Maybe a week or so it'll tighten up a bit to protect itself. I'm thinking it must be a nerve pinch.

Biggest "work on" items:
-staying long and loose for both the hammers and weight for distance

-get my head up/back for hammers

- get my hips around for wfd. I finished a lot of throws with my left leg still leading

I'm going to really work on my shoulder flexibility as well. I think it'll help a lot for hammers and WoB.

Futz Day

July 1, 2017

Just some quick work.

Dan John Circuit - 90s rests
10 Rounds
Kettlebell Clean 2 x 24k x 2r
Kettlebell Press 2 x 24k x 1r
Kettlebell Squat 2 x 24k x 3r
Shortened the rests at the end to complete in less than 15 minutes. I'll do 45s rests next time. Once I get to 30s I'll jump to the 32's. Pretty easy start. Sweaty though.

I should get out throwing tomorrow.
