I assumed that he was just clarifying that his OH training
that day was jerks, not presses.
Which, btw, I really appreciate. Nothing gets me more 
than someone calling a jerk a press. ------------- |

Extremely impressive lifting for sure! One question though - wouldn't jerks be considered a DE Lower (or possibly ME Lower in this case) movement as opposed to a ME Upper? Wouldn't you say a Jerk (as opposed to a Push Press) is more of a leg exercise than an upper-body one? Sorry for the semantics, but I am curious about your thoughts on this. BTW, your stone results should be HUGE with this combo! How much bounce was there on the Bench? ------------- We do not stop playing because we grow old.

Ping-
no bounce on the bench just touch and go. I am flirting with doing a raw powerlifting meet and I want to have an idea of where I am. Jerks would probably be considered a lower movement however for my training I rotate my OH movements week to week. next week I will hit strict press, then push press, then jerks. MY typical upper breakdown is 4 movements. horizontal push, vertical push, vertical pull, horizontal pull. If I feel like doing accessories I will do a couple. yesterday I did some cardio and stretching. boring. today i am going to do some strongman event training and throwing. ------------- USPlabs Conquest Nutrition SPORT KILT Clevenger Sheaves http://www.mattvincent.net/store-3/training-lab-2/" rel="nofollow - Training LAB ebook "Strength Training for The Highland Games |

tried to go for ME lower squats: worked up to 600x1 felt real heavy. since i tripled this last week i expected better but for whatever reason the brain and body were out of it today. leg press 200# 4 x 20 45degree back ext. 4 x 25 squat bar: 4 x 25 stretch foam roll batting cage ball stretch since i was feeling bad due to over training i decided it was going to be more beneficial to just phone it in today and get some recovery work in. I will continue this style with cardio this week and part of next till kick off games. I would really like to open season with some big numbers. goals before end of march: bremar: 40' open stone: 53' hwfd: & nbsp;40' lwfd: & nbsp;80' ltham: 120' hvyham: 100' caber: 12:00 sheaf: 35' wob: &n bsp; 17' feeling good right now with the throwing I think I can knock these out hopefully in my first couple of games. ------------- USPlabs Conquest Nutrition SPORT KILT Clevenger Sheaves http://www.mattvincent.net/store-3/training-lab-2/" rel="nofollow - Training LAB ebook "Strength Training for The Highland Games |

Matt, I've had some of the same things with my upper back
that I think you're talking about. Gives me some shoulder and pec pain and even some tingling in my hand from time to time. I've found that putting my shoulder blade on the corner of a wall or rolling on a baseball are the best! Hurts like crazy, but forces that knot to release and relax. It's much like a cheap deep tissue massage, but I feel relief instantly. As I do it more often and essentially "stretch" the muscles in the area, it leaves for good. Just an idea. You might have already thought of it or are already doing it. ------------- http://www.believethrower.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.believethrower.com |

NAHA games in Louisiana: What a great time this contest was. I got a chance to compete with an amazing elite class of athletes. The Elite class featured ME, Andy Vincent, Andrew Durniat(second at mighty mitts and all around BAMF), Ross Love(4th place @ mighty mitts grip contest), Tom Emlander(WABDL world record holder) Mark Cummings(LA Nas state chair), and Scott Stephan (new to the strength game but very talented) With that said it was quite a great time with some amazing numbers accomplished. event 1: 135# OS this thing was quite alot of fun to throw however the effort does not make it go anywhere. Andy won with a 13' throw, i think. event 2: farmers drag medley(this was what our class was all dreding) 220# farmers on 2" handles, 310 farmers, 400# chain sled drag all for 80" each. Ross love took first with 1 min 42 sec Andrew Durniat second with time of 1 min 44 Andy finished third 1 min 47 sec. the rest of us did not finish. event 3:breamar 25# loaf of bread Andy 1st 41' and change me 2nd 38' change then rest followed, I am still plagued that I can not manage to beat Andy in the damn breamar. event 4: OH medley six implements: 155 barbell w/ tractor tires 175 2" axle 185 barbell 225 square axle on metal tractor wheels 290 log 323 2" axle event 5: hwfd me 1st 41'10" this is a 1' pr andy: 40' and change huge throw for him... (its learning) rest of field ( still not finishing through the weight hit the left leg hard and it was coming back on release instead of the right moving forward. which means despite a 1' PR there is more in the tank technically) event 6: 555# axl DL for max reps andy 6 ross 6 tom 4 it think then i think a big traffic jam of us at 2 All and all it was a great time getting to share the field with a group of guys of this level. Lots of time to talk shop and make fun of each other. apparently not training any of the strongman events has not helped me get better at them, OH WELL. This was a good time and I came out with a PR in the HW, I got to throw an amazing open stone he has which is now mine... (1st throw no warmup 55+) I am good and sore and I cant wait till thistle next weekend. Big numbers are going to happen at thistle.... ------------- USPlabs Conquest Nutrition SPORT KILT Clevenger Sheaves http://www.mattvincent.net/store-3/training-lab-2/" rel="nofollow - Training LAB ebook "Strength Training for The Highland Games |

Matt, I like that you are also a fan of the steam room. I've found that combining steams with the ancient practice of Ishnaan (cold showers) is the key to life and vitality... also the closest cure to the hangover that I've yet discovered. The Rat Pack was obviously on to something even back in the 50's.

it was a 7 point. there was a scapula, ribs, stomach,
chest, thigh, calf, tricep. i think.. Finally things are feeling better. ribs still are ok but they are about 90%. hand still is giving me trouble, this one is just going to take a long time. I have been throwing in a glove that keeps the fingers together. I am hoping to not have to throw with it in contest. yesterday was short day but im throwing more today: os: 17# everything over 55 and best of 57' hwfd: 5 one turns best of 38' 5 fulls and about 41' ( I am missing something major here, I need to get it together.) ------------- USPlabs Conquest Nutrition SPORT KILT Clevenger Sheaves http://www.mattvincent.net/store-3/training-lab-2/" rel="nofollow - Training LAB ebook "Strength Training for The Highland Games |

Well thanks Myles, however I am still an amateur for the rest of this year. I was able to get a chance to share the field with a couple of accomplished throwers this past saturday in NC. NC REN FAIRE: I just want to say thanks to Scott and the other judges for everything. The games were a lot of fun and quite the learning experience for me. Breamar 26# : 44' 2" OS 16.08#: 59'5" HWFD: 45' LWFD: 85'10" ( we took some extra throws for fun, 89'10" also a 93'11" foul) 22# hammer: 105' felt heavy and slow sheaf 20#: 26' went to 30' hit bar all three times then over in extras wob: 17' standing I had a great games with some big numbers, getting to throw with Wes, Frasure, and Chaffin was a great experience and lots of advice for my throws. Thanks guys. 4*11*11 In philly: @ iron psort spent morning after meetings with steve pulcinella @ iron sport doing some light squats and talking throwing. I havent been able to train lifting in a couple of weeks due to injuries to ribs. Things felt good today so I squated. squat: bar x 10 x 2 135 x 10 x 2 225 x 5 315 x 5 x 3 foam roll stretch bike for 20 min. ------------- USPlabs Conquest Nutrition SPORT KILT Clevenger Sheaves http://www.mattvincent.net/store-3/training-lab-2/" rel="nofollow - Training LAB ebook "Strength Training for The Highland Games |

I hope you realize those numbers would make the cut for
Bethlehem (well, except for not throwing a light hammer). Aside from that, talk to the AD and get that stone weighed. I don't currently have a record for a 26lb Braemar stone, but I'm pretty sure that's it, and if the stone can be verified the record's yours. That's Guđmundsson territory. |

well I will try and get that stone verified. Should not be to hard. Also Bethlehem is a straight pro game and I could not compete as an Am I think. However if this is not the case I am very interested.

Iron sport is quite different that metroflex in Arlington. They both have there place and are amazing gyms. Metroflex is a giant garage gym, dirty with tons of equipment piled in on top of it self. Iron Sport is very clean, and essentially a commercial gym. Then you realize the quality of equipment in there along with two oly platforms with great bars, monolift, efs benches, 100# plates, heavy BDs, and monster squat racks. I love Iron Sport and any opportunity i have to hangout wiht Steve and talk shop. Being able to travel like I have has been wonderful and I have made some great friends in the strength industry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBRG4RkE51Q ------------- USPlabs Conquest Nutrition SPORT KILT Clevenger Sheaves http://www.mattvincent.net/store-3/training-lab-2/" rel="nofollow - Training LAB ebook "Strength Training for The Highland Games |

Yeah I love the atmosphere of MetroFlex. Bryan and crew are awesome. I feel like I need a Tetnus shot everytime I leave. Big heavy rusty weights and dumbbells. I would rather train there than the "chrome and fern" place I train at now. I can't say with certainty but I think the atmopshere of a place is just as important as the equipment they have. Rendy's place in Ft Worth is awesome too. Lots of square footage. But damn if they never have a XXXL T-shirt everytime I go in there.

Finally home...
4*17*11 drove this morning from Charlotte to Baton Rouge. All around I had a great trip however 10 days is still a long time to not be home. Luckily I don't have to leave for this amount of time again till Iceland and that will be OK. I competed in the Loch Norman games this past weekend in Charlotte NC. This is my first time to come out to the games and it was a lot of fun. However we had some interesting weather all day. The day started with drizzling rain and temp of about 50. Then at lunch decided to dump rain for an hour and have 40mph winds. Then got really sunny and even heavier wind gusts. With that said I managed to get 1st with the A's and have a couple of decent throws. Always fun getting to compete with guys like Wes Kiser and at the same time get to watch a very talented Pro crowd throw. weird order: hwfd : 39'11" had a 42' lest line foul, after that I was trying to fix the problem instead of just throwing. lwfd: 83'5" with all 3 over 80' OS 18.6#: 51'6" new field record WOB: 15' i went in at 12' to work on spinning, then as we hit 15' the rain started so we broke for an hour then returned straight to 16' rythm was gone. caber: 3 x 12:00 three of us were @ this score so we went to pro caber and I got 12:00 to win sheaf: 24' everything felt good just aim was off a bit I was hitting upright @ about 32' hammers: 105' 125' all and all a good day. lots of fun. looking forward to being home for a monthish and getting some proper training in. ------------- USPlabs Conquest Nutrition SPORT KILT Clevenger Sheaves http://www.mattvincent.net/store-3/training-lab-2/" rel="nofollow - Training LAB ebook "Strength Training for The Highland Games |

Also broke three handles today, I am not happy with this I have to figure something else out. probably going to order a new head or get a 17# shot and a 14# shot and get a hole machined into it that accepts the pvc I want. ------------- USPlabs Conquest Nutrition SPORT KILT Clevenger Sheaves http://www.mattvincent.net/store-3/training-lab-2/" rel="nofollow - Training LAB ebook "Strength Training for The Highland Games |

Good stuff man... A question...do you feel like the cardio you described above is better/easier for a thrower to recover from as opposed to a straight run? It's getting hot here, and I've been juggling some conditioning stuff around in my nugget...stuff the North Texas Heavies could do after practice, etc.

i think steady state stuff is good... walking on treadmill
for say 30-60 min incline. Running however kicks the shit out of my joints, so I dont see the point in further fatiguing my joints. However the HIIT training I really like it takes 30-45 min and burns more fat and does a light full body workout that does not fatigue me at all. ------------- USPlabs Conquest Nutrition SPORT KILT Clevenger Sheaves http://www.mattvincent.net/store-3/training-lab-2/" rel="nofollow - Training LAB ebook "Strength Training for The Highland Games |
