Thanks Craig! It's been a weird 2 years. First a back
injury, then a hernia, then I caught malaria and lost 30lbs. Hopefully I can stay healthy this season. |

Oh jeez. Malaria, really? Were you traveling somewhere?

This log should be titled: "...answers to "Lucky.'" Bodybuilding is your friend, chico. |

True enough. For the season I'm planning on Dan John's easy
strength idea. Lots of throwing, then a couple triples each day with weights that feel really light. |

| I'd also recommend light (and I mean LIGHT) dumbell work and calisthenics. |

| Actually Greg T's log would be a good one for you for reference. He's older'n dirt and still throws the superweight. |

Yeah, I've thrown with Greg a few times. I've noticed he
hardly lifts at all, or if he does, he doesn't log it. Mostly just gets throwing strength from throwing, which really, makes perfect sense. |

I went swimming in the Amazon river while in Ecuador. Great trip, bad disease. |

Was pretty sure you had. He lifts. I think CG Snatch and Trap bar stuff. I'd ask him about it, for sure. |

5/20
Spent about 45 minutes with my practice caber today. I made it out of 16' 2x6 boards, so it's not that heavy, but it's square with no taper. It went ok, eventually got to where I was consistently picking it. Got a few runs in, but no turns. 25-35mph winds certainly didn't help. Broke out the old standards today. Mine are made of two 10' lengths of PVC, one inside the other, with a crossbar also of PVC. I bungee it to a tree or fench, then raise up the inside piece and fix it in place with a peg. I measured today and found that when the end of the crossbar that's attached is at 10' the other end is at 9' 4". Took 3 throws at that height with the right hand and 2 with the left, and none went over. I can tell I have no pop in my hips and that I'm not finishing the pull. All in all a good day, even if the only thing I got from it was lots to work on. |

Traveled all weekend for a wedding. 2 8-hour drives in 3
days left me pretty stiff. 5/31 15# hammer - 15 throws Best was 75' and worst was at 63'. Almost nothing in between. I think I need to spend more time winding a heavy hammer. When I try to add speed on my third wind I get off balance and end up pulling in with my arms. |

6kg shot, stand x10 - 39'. Felt good and explosive, just need to build more power. Also, was losing the flick on a few of these, concentrating on this added a foot. 25# hammer winds - 3x4 each side 15# hammer x4 - 66', 72', 72', 72' Working on staying balanced and keeping arms long. Need to make these even slower until that part comes around. |
