JHenze646 Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Field day Sat. It was a beautiful day. My throwing wasnt all that great and it was a long day. Hopefully I improved on something. I will have to wait until the results are posted. We started at 9am and finished at 5:30pm. Unfortunately I finished up with a miss at a wob height (11) that I normally throw.

bencrush Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Josh, on your homemade RT, I'd recommend cutting a slightly longer inner sleeve (the one inside the 2 and 3/8" diameter PVC) because the one you have is just like the one I made back in 2001 - the chain appears to be slightly contacting the outer 2 and 3/8" diameter PVC sleeve. Which makes it easier to lift more weight on. It won't make a huge difference, but when I corrected the flaw on mine it dropped me down a solid 10lbs. Which made it almost exactly what I pulled on the real RT when I bought one. I alternated workouts on the two devices over a 3-month period after buying the real RT and the homemade one with the flaw corrected was within 2lbs on all workouts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard to tell from that picture but it actually has two pieces of the pvc fastened to the ends of the center pipe like colars and a center free turning piece for the gripping surface. I sanded all the edges smooth so there would be as little of a binding effect as possible. It has the feel of an old model Rt that has seen some use. It turns under its own weight but has some friction. I hope to get a crusher as soon as they are available to use as my primary rolling handle. Thanks again for the help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHenze646 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Out in left field Saturday It was about 80+ degrees F all day. I got there at 8:45 am and left at 7 pm, all day. My throwing was terrible. Some of the events were set up on a bit of a downhill grade and I still threw short. Durniat Strength Sunday After a struggle to find food, a little sleep, and an allergic reaction, I was in perfect form to really crush it at the gym. - sarcasm Warm up squats W/ sorinex anvil trainer 50,90,115,135 Lx0, 160 Rx0, a few more singles at 135 both hands Push press Sorinex Saxon bar up to 200x0, 180 3x1 My pinch has really been suffering. Blob(100 side) L 3x1, R 3x0 Deadlift Stones- I found out from Brandon the day before that the stone platforms were under construction. But the three tallest platforms were still useable. I should preface this by saying I haven't trained heavy stones lately or to a high platform so I used the lightest stones they had to the third and fourth platform. The fifth platform was ~70 inches tall. It was really fun but I was just too tired to do anything. I messed around with some other medley items(read: rolled Inch around on the floor) and called it a day. I need another qualifying lift. If I cant get it on Thursday, i will make whatever lift I can shamefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHenze646 Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 A babyshower Sunday I woke up at 5 am on a Sunday because I had to lift before my cousin's babyshower at noon. Priorities. I screwed up and omitted finger curls on Thursday so I added them here. Finger curls 70x5, 80x5, 91x8 Hit squats, push press, log, and deads. 2hp worked up to 190x1, 200x0 1hp 35's pinch 2x 15 count Yoke and stones - finally worked up to the 260 stone.

JHenze646 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Post NAGSC Sunday I felt awful when I woke up with a terrible sinus headache, probably from all the chalk. I had to be at my niece's birthday in a few hours(she's two) so I quickly searched for my non-drowsy decongestant but could not find it. I took some decongestant my wife had with breakfast and headed down to the garage. Squats - I started to slowly work up in weight as the pain in my head lessened by half but was replaced with the overwhelming urge to go to sleep. 305x5 with belt Push press didn't fair as well. As I worked up I had no power to clean the axle and my left wrist was swollen and sore. I called at 190x2. I decide to drop stones and yoke and instead decided to load my FBBC Crusher up to 100 lbs. I hit singles between every set of presses and squats. I am ready to start training this and a few other lifts. I knew with the fatigue from NAGSC and the meds that I wasn't going to pull anything heavy. I had a little fun instead. Deads 315X15 I am now anxiously awaiting the delivery of some horse shoes. Thank you for reading my log! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHenze646 Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) A fresh Tuesday I hadn't had any sinus issues since Sunday but as soon as I started warming up, a sinus headache came on so fast and strong I had to go back upstairs for meds and lay down in between warm up sets of squats. By the second work set, the headache had all but passed. SSB box 195 5x5 Bp DOAD 260 2X5,3/2 2.5 Crusher 100 x 3, 11 and in case Tom S. is reading this I record all crusher weights in Freedom units. - humor Sit ups & side bends Polo 0 x L & R x attempt Horse shoe bend(1): https://youtu.be/XkfBRoCxqKo Horseshoe bend left: https://youtu.be/0V-ZPWHC4u8 Edited June 10, 2015 by JHenze646 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHenze646 Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 I try to get some throwing in about once a week. Due to NAGSC last week I didn't throw and I knew things would be off. I would loosen up with a few drills or tosses, then video one toss, watch it, and work on one or two things I could improve. Throwing practice 6/15(4): https://youtu.be/3n8SFhUFyCw Throwing practice 6/15(2): https://youtu.be/D-a-5eKfxA8 Another fun Sunday I had an opportunity to train with Brent this day. I woke up feeling groggy and tired. I planned to start CBT for grippers and wanted to hit grip training at Brent's. Squats 310 x 5 Push press Axle 200x4 the fifth rep got way out in front of me, Log 180x4,5 Def. Deads 365 x 6, 345x5,5 Too easy but rushing for yoke Yoke I only got two super light runs in due to approaching lightning. Stones 190 for 3 reps @ Brent's Hit the first day of CBT for grippers and was surprised how easy it felt. Hopefully I can simply follow the plan and see some improvement. 2HP 58 mm worked up to 190 10x1 (very curious) Hit some random blockweights and then worked up on 35 hex to +15 x1 each hand. I had brought some Batards with me in the hopes of getting a cert video with Brent's help. First I had forgotten my IMP's and had to borrow Brents, then on the kink something in my finger cracked and moved. It didn't hurt but that wasn't something I wanted to push through. Not today I guess. IM hub up to 40 for a few singles - I have to work on this so I can easily do this while being sprayed with a hose. Brent offered to slap me while I did it. I passed on the offer for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may not have gotten another set of triples or at the least they would have been of poor quality. The three singles were solid lifts and the better decision.

JHenze646 Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 After a period of training, I come to a point where I have made a little progress or am right about to make progress and then the wheels fall off so to speak. I hope today was just a bad day. Another Frustrating Saturday Squat up to 335x1 this is what I wanted to hit today but it was way worse and more difficult than it should have been. https://youtu.be/yhQ2KE0T5IM It rained nonstop all morning and I can't do log inside. PP axle up to 180x2 - max effort Def. Dead up to 365x3 - max effort I had hoped to at least do farmer picks and stones but after this abysmal performance, I decided to drop everything else. I bent some things to work my frustration. DO bend 60D x2, 1/4 sqr Spike Right side SCF Polo0(pr), attempted another kinked Polo0 moving it a few degrees Left polo0, DC0 to heart https://youtu.be/QQhc3uBxNHg Bad days happen. I want progress, even if it's little, for the time and effort. I wish I knew what I am doing wrong. And next week I will be away from home. Good or bad, we will see...
