Wow,here I am finally doing a training log for all to see
and to hopefully gain some support and help from. I started in the highland games at a larry brock clinic in 2006 in Charlotte,NC and was hooked ever since. Done quite well in the first couple years of the games,coming home with at least a couple medals and had fair numbers as a newbie,was kinda more like a B or super B knocking on door of A class,that was until 2010. At the blairsville games I stepped down and pulled myself out of the game with 3 events left due to horrible pain in lower back...I could barely walk,the drive home was even worse. I had an earlier spell that yr at loch norman,but I shrugged it off and still competed. I sat the rest of 2010 out. During that time I just went to my chiropractor and fixed myself. In 2011 I was determined to get back into throwing. I started going to gym on a regular basis and started doing games again.,and have enjoyed it ever since. In July my games and gym was put on hold cause of work in north dakota,so I definately got weak again....now I'm back in the gym,back to throwing...and in 2012 I hope to become the athlete that I want to be.....so the journey begins. Started off light since I haven't lifted since July: DAY 1 Dumbell butterfly 65x7x3 Overhead press 180x7x3 Leg press 375x7x3 Dips 7x3 Bike 5:00 mins Not much of a first day....but its a startFeed back welcomed ------------- CLAN DAVE FOREVER! |

When you mention the hammer swings are you using a homemade bulgarian weight bag by chance? Made of innertube and athletic tape? Because if you are then that's badd ass like the honey badger! Keep it up because it helps your hammer a lot!! I've actually used an overweight one and worn my spikes with it. ------------- @Sizemore48 |

Well last night was a interesting night at the gym. Wasn't feeling so well anyways, My foot or ankle was killing me...was debating on doing squats or not..ended up Doing a few sets,but wasn't feeling it. Well after that I decided to do "sumo deads" Well after 2nd rep of 225...as I squatted,my shorts ripped...turned around and looked at back side in mirror and saw legs and underwear....quite comical actually. Good times. Squats 225x4 285x4 Sumo deads 225x1.busted out my shorts Loaded chest press 180x14 280x7 300x6 Like I said a pretty crappy night in gym..will retry again tonight for better progress ------------- CLAN DAVE FOREVER! |
