Training Log: Josh Plumb

Finally starting one of these things up. This will be my third full season of the games. I'm a b-level thrower for the most part. I've had improvements each year, which is about all I can hope for and ask for. My main goals are to get stronger and more explosive.

I've had shoulder surgery about 6 years ago, otherwise, I'm relatively uninjured. Right now, my biggest issues are my wrist. Lots of sharp pain when I do presses.

I will try to keep this log up as best I can. Any thoughts and help are welcome. I will put up my workouts from the past week in my next post.

Week 2: Day 3

Front Squats:     Working Sets:    155 x 3

                                                                180 x 3

                                                                200 x 3

1-leg Leg Press: Working Sets:    140 x 3

                                                                150 x 3

                                                                160 x  3(right), 2(left)

The front squats felt so much better this week than compared with last week, even with more weight.

i also did some easy hammer rotations with my homemade gym apparatus. Felt pretty good. I think I really need to work on the balance and control part. and the speed part, and the releasing part. But that goes with every event.

I'm going to really try to get out and throw more this spring. I'm hoping for another good year of personal bests. When you throw this short, its easy to improve. J/K its all relative.

365 x 3

410 x 1

Military Press Working sets: 105 x 5
