I was there the night Odden jumped from truck bed to truck bed in the parking lot of Lumpy's. Kid's got ups. I'm sure some of the trucks had people in them making out or whatev. "SEE DUNCAN!!! I'M AN ATHLETE!!!" Sproing. Then we stopped at an ATM. ------------- The man in the arena. |

Got to love the inside jokes Stewart and McCallum. I don't think we ever found the ATM that evening. This year I think I will try to change my image by trying to actually lift heavy stuff instead of just jumping on boxes. ha ha. It does have a functional carry over when I need to leap over small women in a single bound though. Actually I will probably be known as the "kettlebell guy" now that I have been doing almost exclusive KB training for the last phase of my rehab. One of my coworkers is an RKC and he has really helped open my eyes to TRUE kettlebell training. The RKC is the real deal. Tested my maxes the other day and my strength was suprisingly good for not having squatted heavy for over 6 months. Started working with John Gallagher this week for some new training ideas and fine tuning with my Power Factor training. Jay- keep up the hard work! I'm sure the Power Factor will be a great addition to your training. ------------- John Odden |

I have to be honest, I was pretty stoved up Monday. Squats always loosen me up for some reason. By the end of the session I was good as new! ------------- Jay "Big Daddy" O'Neill |

Ok, Im back.... done slackin on my log....
I realized that the reason my hammers and weights are all down this season, is simple...I havent trained them enough.... My Caber and Sheaf are my strong suit and thats probably due to my off season strength training. So back to basics.... THROW MORE...LIFT less...Lift like a thrower!
15jun
SO....Friday was just LWFD 8 singles and 6 fulls. meh....
16jun Lifting...squats and bench 3 x 5 at 60% felt good!
WFH (42)pulls 8-10 praciticing follow through
Sheaf pulls from ground flew off fork.... 8-10 throws. then 6 fulls practiced full follow throw like Gene Flynn does on his 36' throw.... BAG FLEW!!!! may have to work on this!
17 jun training with Angie and Steph Lathrop
Braemer x 6
HWFD (42) 2 singles and 4 fulls
LWFD 3 singles and 8 fulls... I cant get my left foot down to engage after my first turn....it just grazes the turf and I cant plant it fro some reason... any ideas? anyone?
throws were meh....
Hammer 16pound.... 8-10 throws.... meh. ------------- Jay "Big Daddy" O'Neill |

Tuesday 19 Jun
Hammer 16 pound 3 1 wind releases... best of 75'

LWFD about 4 single turns and 6 fulls....meh tired from hammer. ------------- Jay "Big Daddy" O'Neill |

I do a few sheaf pulls from the ground every couple of workouts. It really pounds home the point of using the legs! I gotta thank Bill Gray for getting me to do that.

after you land that first turn, you should be immediately shifting your weight forward. Think about loading up your left leg to the extent that you're actually pushing off of it for your sprint. That might help.

Skagit Highland Games this last weekend.... Highlights: Took 2nd to my Idol Brett Milton. Tied him in Braemer 26'9" (25#Stone) PR with that size stone, tied for 1st. BEat Brett in WOB on count back and he was not aloowed to spin! lol
Sheaf ...Last man standing at 24' took Throw to tie PR at 26 feet...out of gas. I need to start comin in later. Im wasting good throws at low heights. At 20' the bag went at least 7 feet over the bar.
LWFD finally hit 50+ throw. Hammer was better then last few games for sure... I need to hit 90 and be consistant with that, before Pleasanton. Caber was ok, only Brett and I turned it in our class. We shared stick with A class and only 2 turned it there as well. Brett and I were all all tied up with a 12:00 on first pull. Next pull I hit a weird bounce and it went over with a 930... done at that point. Bret is a legend in caber and hit 12:00 and 12:30. I hit an 11:30 on last Throw. Could have been epic... I knew I would need 3 12's to even consider beating him. Good match! ------------- Jay "Big Daddy" O'Neill |

Tuesday 24 Jul12
Took 56 WFD out and threw a few just to get timing and feel.... will be throwin it at the Claw!
1st time all year I have touched this wweight.... Im in trouble...lol Got my 2 turns down using Doug MacDonald Land speeder technique.
28 wfd employing some things Ive watched Gene Flynn do and also some pros from Portland.... Popped a few out past 50' Only took about 5 throws.
Probably take Sheaf out tonight for a few pulls... got to fine tune fork with 20 pound bag.
If I feel ambitious I may take caber out for a couple pulls... but I dont wanna over do it prior to the Claw. This is my first ever real Amateur A competition and Im lookin forward to it! Just dont wanna make a fool of myself.  ------------- Jay "Big Daddy" O'Neill |
