I love your programming. "No Olympic lifts" = light olympic lifts, less than a week later. HAHAHA I do think the Heavy/Fast/Repetition/Fast/Heavy/Fast paradigm would work well for you, however. Paradigm. Yeah, I said it. |

Collegiate 35 lb weight throw. I coach college throwers and use to throw it myself. I am using this as a cross training sort of thing in order to give myself a break from highland stuff but still being able to throw something. Plus a lot of the events are hard to throw indoors so yeah. my best with this implement is 60'2 so we will see if I can break that. |

Before I threw I did some highland technique work for the first time ever. I did five sets of line drills for 15 feet and then 3 sets of active seperation for the same distance. Then the high schoolers came into the gym for class so I had to stop. |

Today lifting started with me working on my entry in the weights for distance. I did about 20-25 entries and then hit the weights because I was strapped for time. Incline 205 x8 215 2x8 I am going to throw later today so we will see how that goes. I am also tweaking this set up I have once again and doing all pushing movements one day, pulls the next and then the workout that blows on the last day. I think I will call the workout push, pull, blow, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! I don't care if you think its that funny I made myself laugh and thats all I need right now. For you Roslik, peace! |

In a given week, how many pounds of paint chips would you say you eat?

It's not really a matter of how many paint chips I eat. There aren't a lot of lead based paints out there anymore. My issue is I am around little kids during the day and at night I train stepford wives. I adapt my intelligence to my surroundings, just be happy you don't live with me. |

Hmm. Maybe you should just stand a little further away from the microwave.
Seriously, though. I'd say chart out a month and a half of workouts. Your body will like you and you'll learn a lot about your body's tolerances along the way. |

So just throwing it out there that I am an idiot. I have been doing this for the past two weeks and today it finally hit me what I was doing. I decided to push myself a little more in lifting and then went to throw...BAD idea, I either need to throw first or split up those days and throw on an off day. We will see if my intelligence kicks in anytime soon.

Dude,
You're not an idiot. We've all done exactly what you're doing. It's not so much dumb, as short-sighted. Just pretend you're one of your athletes and put yourself on a program. You KNOW how to do that. |

Dude, I saw your 57' Weight throw, very impressive. You got sick explosion. I was only a 51' thrower, but its weird after not touching it for 3 years I could still hit 48'. I now wish I would have done this HG stuff in college. Are either of you guys planning on going to Phoenix in February?

Hey thanks, it's not the greatest technique but with my other throws, it gets the job done. Yeah I think doing Highland Games in college helped out with my track throwing a ton. BTW what's in Phoenix in February? Regardless I probably won't go becuase I am saving money for some other games next year. |

Alright Dynamic Day: Power Snatch 50k 3x8 Afterwords I felt drained and these workouts feel more like the days I use to train at Velocity Sports Performance. The negative is I feel exhausted and drained for a few hours after but the good side is I feel very jumpy and explosive. For example I was messing around at my school and was able to actually dunk a basketball (past attempts I was roughly rejected by the ball hitting the rim). Feeling ok about myself and getting my fat ass up that high. I am working on mapping out a training program for the rest of this month and next. Until then later. |

Ok so "push" day of the new set up, here's how it worked: Back Squats 295 x10 315 x10 335 x10 Felt drained after the workout. Bench was humbling but it's all good. I have done some heavy weights for steps but the boxes were lower. I wanted to work on some hip flexibility so I chose a high box this time with no weight and then added a bit. My legs were feeling it the other stuff and this. Looking forward to pulling on Tuesday. |

"Pull" day you sons of mothers: Deads 345 x10 375 x10 405 x10 (Felt good, no belt) Overall good stuff, lower back is a little tight but not unheard of right? Feel good, threw a bit yesterday, had good pop but I need to fix some big technique issues. I am falling forward a lot on my throw and I am not getting a good seat at all. I need to fix this before the meet. But other than that things are going ok. |

"Push" Day Safety Bar Squats 315 2x8 was thrashed and had to drop the weight to 275 for the last set of 8. Had never used a safety bar so that was weird. I lifted with a buddy of mine back at Aurora University today and it was good to get a different perspective on things. Good day overall and I think I am going to now incorporporate some core work at the end of each workout. Nothing drastic, just 100 reps of something. I also need to spend more time stretching, I am losing a little bit of my flexibility and I can't afford that. |

Good work Hulk. When I incorporporated abs into my program and really made it a focus (especially rotational stuff) I netted big gains. Well, big for a mortal. Tom SMASH!!! |

Thanks, I am in no comparison where I use to be. Now I got guys like you and Dan to compete with, ha ha ha. Before we got a good throws coach at my college I did mostly power lifts and was able to put up some pretty good numbers 625 x3 for deads, 375 x2 for bench, and 550 x4 for squat. I then lost a lot of that for stuff that translated better to throwing. I am now trying to get a good mix of that in my first off season for the games. I did a bunch of core before the summer and it always has helped with throwing. When I start out on a training program I like to add a new wrinkle every week or so until I have a a full training program. I started with just the lifting, then added the throwing and drills, then a bit of cardio, and now the core and stretching. I appreicate the reminder of rotational stuff, I tend to not do as much of that and my throws usually suffer from it. |

"Pull" Day
And thats all she wrote. the 500 for 8 felt awesome and I am pumped because my deadlift is getting back to were it used to be. We will see how that goes. Everything else felt good, pushing the weights a little more and I am feeling my strength getting back to were it was as well. THe GHR was my feet in a rack and kneeling on a bench. These felt very weak and I used to be able to do them on a GHR chair with 25's andno push so I got some work to do on these. But overall I am happy and will eat and rest the rest of the day |

"Blow" Hungarian Cleans 205 3x8 Was feeling really sluggish today so I put my effort into these four and called it a day. Was going to try and do some plyos but I have no boxes in my garage so scratch that. Have a good Thanksgiving everyone! Enjoy some good ol' food and enjoy all you thankful for. |

Push Day Back Squats 315 x8 345 x8 365 x8 Nothing great, felt kind of lagging but I did what I could. Squats felt good, groin started to bother me so my last set I took it easy and it didn't bug as much as the first two sets. Who knows. Getting stronger but I need to be a little more disciplined but the holidays screw everything up, ha ha. |

I am going more for the hip pop on these. My feet don't leave the ground but I still am working on explosion and that triple extension you get with throws and pulls. The rep range is good for the weight I use. I think it's like 155 or something like that. Eventually the reps will go down the closer to the season but I am working on muscle memory and certain aspects of the throws since I can't do a whole lot of throwing right now. |
