Shoggoth Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 July 13/14 Still on my deload week. Thursday 13th Went out practicing for a little over 2 hours. Braemer with the light stone, sliding open stone, lwfd, and 16#. Only threw the hammer 2-3 times. Worked mainly on doing winds and hitting positions. Friday 14th Throw practice. Watched some training videos prior to work on cues and positions. Braemer with the light stone. Hit a great position and got 36'1" for my top throw. LWFD 1 Spin - had a couple throws over 44' with the best at 44'8" LWFD 2 Spin - today was the first day I really devoted time to this. Tons of just trying to hit positions without weight. Throws with weight were pretty tiring due to me being in crap positions. I did get 2 proper throws but the distance was only about 35' as I'm not applying any real force into the throws. Back home Dan John's Armor Complex 2x Double Clean/1x Double Press/3x Double Squat 2 x 32k x 5 cycles. 90s rests. Good enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggoth Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 Haven't been feeling the greatest for the past bit and went back to work last week which entailed daily traveling. It's been a week and a half since I've done anything and the AGM Backyard Throw is this coming Saturday so I'd better get at it. Saturday Aug 12, 2017 Jim and Tony drove down from the city and we threw at the school by my house. 12.5# Hammer x 4 or so throws 22# Hammer 4 throws 16# BD Hammer 4 throws 16# MD Hammer 6-7 throws. Got a foot PR as well. I need lots of practice to stay consistent. 42 WFD 4-5 throws. Suckage. A good 10' short of where I should be. Practicing 2 spin has gimped my 1 spin technique and I'm no good at 2 spin yet either. 28 WFD 5-7 throws. Same as the 42. David suggested I try Matt Vincent's 1 spin technique (about 1.25 spins). 12.5# Braemer throws. About 5 12.5# Shuffle/glide. About 7-8 Sunday Aug 13, 2017 Some work with my new caber. Finished sanding it and measured and weighed it. 17' 6.5" and 53#. Good for training. Picks and walks (100' or so) x 4 Picks and turns x 4 Pick, 5 step, ground, re-pop, 5 step, etc. x 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 Around 25 throws with the 16. Getting ate up by mosquitos. I want to try that 1.25x single spin yet this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 August 20, 2017 Before Supper Been back working the last two weeks away from home which has screwed up all of my training. This is my first "weights" day since the second. Start 'er off nice and slow again. Threw at the AGM yesterday. No training definitely hurts technique, strength, etc. Everything really sucked although I think I might've PR'd my open stone with over 30' with a 16.4# stone. 1a - SSB 15" Box Squat WU to 265 x 6 x 5r 1b - Chins (238.2) x 3 x 3/4/5r 2a - Sissy Squat (TDS Mach.) x 3 x 10r 2b - 45' Hyper x 3 x 10r 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First workout in a couple of weeks with the intent of getting 4 days a week in again. I haven't had a very "full" gym schedule since spring and need to get back at it.

Today's also the first day that I've back squatted in ages and I really feel it in the hammies. Those shrugs also hit me very fast.
