Unlike other logs I don't list numbers. That is because they are insignificant right now, but let me give you guys a reference point as to how bad off I was when I finally got the adrenals in order after therapy about 2-3 months ago. I started lifting consistently in June. I could only pull and squat 115 lbs for 5. So as discouraging as that was, I still go in and put another 5-10 lbs each week and "Conan and the wheel" this stuff. Its a lifelong journey now, numbers will come in time. Really looking forward to Squats tomorrow night! |

Was going to throw tonight, but as I got home severe storms hit with tons of lighting. I didnt think tossing around metal objects in an open field was a good idea.
So core and extra shoulder work tonight. |

Feeling the core today. I have started doing something I picked up from Power lifting great Ed Coan. I do suitcase deadlift holds. I put the bar in the rack at the knee and stand up with it. If its in the right hand I bend a little to the left and hold for at least 10 seconds. Goal is 30 seconds x3 each hand then move up weight. Got 115lbs yesterday. Not heavy, but all I could do. I feel it this morning in the Core! |

They get you used to keeping the body tight where it should be during throws core wise.

SGHP. 4x3. Was supposed to be 3x2, but things moved much better than expected. Block pulls 3x3. Remember the name came on pandora at just the right time! Push press. 3x3. Core lifts done. Have some tennis elbow crap going on with the right elbow. No row or Bi's today, have to throw tomorrow. |

Clean Pull 2x3 Started feeling elbow so... Power shrug 3x3 Squat 5-3-2 RDL 3x5 Bench 5-3-2 1 Leg 3x8 Pull-down 3x5 timed my workout, over an hour. But I am including rest, racking, unracking, moving from one place to the other. If I were in a Gym it would only be about 40-45. Debating Cortisone shot in the elbow Friday. |

Massage went really good. Stone, 28, Hammer tonight. Still can not feel the hammer. No catch and no push. Clinic with Daniel McKim in 2 weeks and I really need it. Not waiting until offseason for Front squats. I need to get the lower body being more active, moving to them on Monday. Not worried about weight, want to move it right and getting the lower body to do the work. |

Something that helped me was to get my weight on my right foot when it was at the top so I could catch and use my weight shift to help accelerate the hammer from there. I think about making a reverse C when I want to catch it.

I haven't' slept well the last couple weeks. Part of it was the neck which is much better. Fat loss has stopped, gains slowed down and I am a little more tired and sore than I have been the last few weeks. I have been waking up for no reason about 2:30 the last few nights. It finally hit me...I am NOT eating enough lol. I am now very consistent in the Gym and throwing, Body needs food! When I trained hard with Wes Wright a few years back this happened and he made me eat more. I am just not used to having to eat more other than last year during Chemo/Rad. YAY more food! |

Threw some last night, Throws were as Charles Barkley would say "Turrable". But I can throw, vs Last year when I had trouble getting out of bed to go to radiation and Chemo.
So I say its a win. |

In sprint mode to Tulsa / Mac... Block pull. 8x3 Shower, food, pack for clinic. Off to KC after work tomorrow. Talked with Dr. Holt and I think im going to go ahead and get the left knee cleaned up end of September. Too much catching and grinding laterally. I do it now and I should be good for another 5 years of uninterrupted training. Plus for about 6 weeks I can implement my "Johnny Bravo" Training :-) Edited by Brian Randell - 8/19/16 at 1:26pm |
