Figured I would start a training log sense the end on my first full year of Highland games is coming to a quick end here in a couple weeks and during the off season I want to keep track of throws and lifts. Little about me first by highland games standards I am a little on the smaller side 6 foot and 255lbs. Got into this awesome sport when I thought I would be decent at it. I threw shotput and discus in high school and now have the privilege of coaching throws at my old high school. Just finished throwing at nice rain soaked Hood Canal Highland games in Belfair washington yesterday: Braemar(21#)- 35'-7.50" not too bad of a toss for me, was hoping for closer to 37ish. Placed 1st Open(17#)- 45'-2.00" First toss slipped badly and was the worst of the year. The last 2 were closer the where they should be but a little short. Placed 1st HWFD- 28'-5.50" still not too comfortable with this event. I need to wait a little longer till I start pulling. Off balance and awkward. Placed 2nd LWFD - 60'-7.00" an ok throw for me felt slow. placed 1st LH - 91'-1.50" PR slippery handles and no blades. Hammers in general are by far my worst events just feels weird to throw anything behind me still. Getting better slowly though. Placed 2nd WOB - 12'-0.00" Right where I normally am. At 13' I kept hitting the cross bar hard. I have the strength just need to get the angle right to clear. Placed 3rd Caber - 12:00 95lbx15'11" biggest caber Ive turned in a comp so far so pretty happy this event for the day. Placed 2nd I ended up taking 1st in my 2nd Class A comp. Didn't think I had a great day throwing but was pretty solid overall with the rain. Looking forward to my final comp for the year at Kelso in a couple weeks. Hoping to beat a few more of my PR's before the season ends. ------------- No one can push you harder then you can push yourself! |

Not nearly as sore as I thought I would be for the day after a games. About time my body gets use to me beating it up. First time I went to the gym the day after competing, back is a little tight so figured I would do my chest and tri's. Flat bench: 185x10 warm up 225x8 warm up 275x6 315x2 345x1 365x1- was happy with this I had to go through physical therapy for my right rotater cuff and have been scared to push it too hard but went up with no issues. I need to find a lifting partner so I can push myself. DB incline bench: 80'sx10 90'sx10 100'sx10- gym only has dumbbells that go up to 100. Chest flys machine: 190x10 220x6 250x6 Tricep push downs: 70x12 80x10 100x10 single are reverse tricep push down: 22.5x10 22.5x10 22.5x10 Standing barbell over head tricep extensions: 75x10 75x10 75x10 Standing one arm tricep extensions: 25x8 30x6 30x5 Had a pretty good workout for a day after throwing all day. I have to get back to pushing myself harder in the gym. ------------- No one can push you harder then you can push yourself! |

today was a throwing day for me. Did LWFD HWFD both hammers and Caber. LWFD went pretty good didn't measure how far they went but had a couple throws that felt really good. Was working on when finishing not to have my weight too far back and feel off balance. HWFD went alright on threw it a couple time working on waiting to drive from the back and on the weight to get around before I start pulling. Hammers this event is by far the worst for me. Nothing about it feels natural for me and seriously need to put my time in. Trying to relax the arms and use my hips. Was being told my core isnt engaged and I had too much weight on my heals sense I'm not wearing blades yet. Caber was fun as always but between being sore and not getting rest between throws wasn't as good as I was wanting. I did flip it a few times that went over nicely pretty straight. I had about 3 or 4 others that were really close to going over but just wouldn't. They felt pretty good was working on holding the caber higher on my chest and starting to pull a little earlier. Overall it was a productive day of work and hope to get more done next week before heading to Idaho for Treasure Valley games. Looking forward to throwing with some good throwers. ------------- No one can push you harder then you can push yourself! |

Gym again yesterday Chest/Tris day. I was feeling pretty good going into the gym warmed up a bit then got into it. Flat bench: 225x8 275x5 315x3 365x1 Has been my current max for a while and sense I was feeling good and 365 went up easy I wanted to try for more. 385xLol yeah right. I got it off the rack felt pretty good. On the way down the weight got out of line a bit and landed too far down on my chest(below sternum) and had no chance. 225x10 drop set Incline DB Bench: 80x10 90x10 100x8 Chest fly machine: 205x10 225x8 235x8 Tricep push down: 85x10 85x10 105x10 single are reverse tricep push down: 22.5x10 22.5x10 22.5x10 Standing barbell over head tricep extensions: 75x10 95x10 95x10 Standing one arm tricep extensions: 25x8 30x6 All in all a decent day. Really looking forward to this weekend and throwing in Idaho. Looks like its going to be a good comp in Class A's with Cory Frazier, Todd Asay, Will Griffith, Bret Thompson, Dan Turner and myself. Going to have to throw a few PR's if I want to be in the top couple. ------------- No one can push you harder then you can push yourself! |

Yesterday was the Treasure Valley Highland games in Boise, Idaho. Had a blast throwing with some good A class throwers, plus one of the big reasons for going was to get a chance to throw along side the pros. So here is how it went for me. Braemar stone: 34'7" 2nd place. The most awkward stone I have yet to throw. no real ideal hand location to get a good push on it, felt like it always wanted to fall when turning to get a good hip drive. Open stone: 47'5" 1st place. A pretty good toss for me over all happy with this one was hoping to get closer to 50' but no suck luck. Light weight for Distance: 63'3" PR 2nd place. Tried the hook grip for the first time ever for the first 2 throws the grip felt of body positioning not so much 3rd throw went to normal and released a good toss for me. Heavy weight for distance: 32'1" PR 3rd place. Same as light 2 hooks and one normal finally went over 30 and still think I have a lot left in the tank. Sheaf: LAST!! No HEIGHT! started at 22'. UGh. 4th time doing sheaf ever and I have to power and height just need to buy equipment to practice. kept throwing to right of the standards. WOB: 13' PR. 4th place. Felt pretty good not my best event but was able to pr finally. Heavy hammer: 74'8.75" PR 3rd place. Still suck at hammers but Im sucking at it less and less. Light hammer: 92'2.5" PR 3rd place. SAME AS HEAVY. Getting better but still need to buy EVERYTHING so I can improve this off season. Caber: 18'x91lb 75degrees- Disappointed with this thought it was going to go twice but not enough speed at the end of the day. So all in all I did well for me. 5 PR's and a 2nd place finish. The best I could expect to do. I was throwing against a top 15 armature thrower(Cory Frazier) so still happy. Now time to bust my ass and get better an stronger for next season! ------------- No one can push you harder then you can push yourself! |

End of the season recap! So it looks like I am done with my first real season throwing in my new obsession called Highland games. I have to say I am excited and very happy with my progress that I've got through the year. Started off the season as a B class thrower who looked awkward and uncoordinated to moving up to Class A winning my first comp and finishing my season setting 5 PR's at my last game of the year. Here is a list of my current bests as of today 9/14/14 Braemar: 37'6" Winston, Oregon 8/17/14 Open stone: 48'4.5" Winston, Oregon 8/17/14 Light weight for distance: 63'3" Boise, Idaho 9/13/14 Heavy weight for distance: 32'1" Boise, Idaho 9/13/14 Light hammer: 92'2.5 Boise, Idaho 9/13/14 Heavy hammer: 74'8.75" Boise, Idaho 9/13/14 Sheaf: 24' Winston, Oregon 8/17/14 WOB: 13' Boise, Idaho 9/13/14 Caber: 15'11"x95lbs 12:00 Belfair, Washington 8/30/14 ------------- No one can push you harder then you can push yourself! |

Goals for 2015. Here is a list of my goals for next season. I have a lot of work to do and strength to gain but I think these are all reachable with hard work. Braemar: 40'+ need 2'6" doable need to work on turning my shoulders more to get the hip separation needed Open stone: 50'+ need 2'7.5" need more snap and a faster glide. Might work on spinning. Light weight for Distance: 70'+ work on pushing instead of dragging. speed up drive and work hook grip. Heavy weight for distance: 35'+ Same as light and get better and drive timing. Tend to go early. Light hammer: 110'+ Speed speed and more speed oh and get blades. Heavy hammer: 90'+ same as light. Sheaf: 28'+ Might be able to get even higher. I have to power just need practice lots of it. WOB:14' or 15' havent decided yet need to get a quicker pull and decide on one technique to use. Caber: to be able to flip all at least once per comp. Total decathlon points I want to get to 7000 and to be ranked in the top 20. I know there is a lot of potential left. These goals are at the low end of what I expect myself to be able to do. Gym time starts again tomorrow time for some big gains! Thanks all for a great first season and hopefully many more successful ones to fallow. ------------- No one can push you harder then you can push yourself! |

I know i have to do leg days, but I hate them. So.... I honestly havent done anything for my legs except the little they get hit during deadifts in about 9 or 10 months and about 6 months before that. So today i decided to take it light and not try to kill myself so I can walk tomorrow. Squats: 275x5 315x3 3651 Leg press: 290x10 310x10 310x10 calf raises: 310x10 310x10 leg extensions: 150x10 180x10 190x10 Sense my legs are by far my weakest body part and one of the most important Im going to be working them out twice a week now. Light leg days on Sundays and heavy on Wednesdays from now on. ------------- No one can push you harder then you can push yourself! |

Another week in the books and my weights are all still going up. Liking what Im seeing. New deadlift PR of 500lbs was 465. Trying to get up to 600lbs. New squat PR of 405 was 365ish. Trying to get to 500lbs. Bench same as always 365. Wanting 405 to 425. I think this will be the hardest for me. Never worked my legs before so I expect increases chest has always been pretty solid but doesnt go up quickly for me. ------------- No one can push you harder then you can push yourself! |

Leg day! Starting to like these days more and more each time. I use to avoid them at all cost! Before this off season I might have done legs twice in the last years. Now its twice a week one speed day and one heavy day. Today I was able to get a new squat Life time PR of 425 it went up pretty easy got greedy and went for 455 felt light off the rack and got stuck on the way up. I think I should be able to get it soon. But all and all happy with a 20 pound pr.

Threw at the first annual Mo-Throw for charity event in wet and cold Tacoma, washington. First time throwing in mid 40's and rain for me. Open stone: 47'4"(2nd) not a bad throw still felt like I had more. HWFD: 30'6.5"(2nd) I was happy to take anything over 30 that day. LWFD: 59'10.5"(3rd) CRAP HH: 73'6"(3rd) Pretty solid for me. Want to add 10 feet by next season LH: 94'3"(3rd) PR Was pleasantly surprised that hammer went well. Next season need 10 more feet. Caber..... Stick was too small for A class.... (2nd) WOB: 13' (3rd) tied pr so pretty happy. And for fun we did a keg toss: 44'1" Overall I placed 3rd had a fun time with some great people in some less then ideal conditions. All in all pretty good day. ------------- No one can push you harder then you can push yourself! |

Glad to be back in the gym. Been out for almost a month. Started a new program. First one I've actually followed sense high school. Doing a 5-3-1. Today was chest so bench, incline dumbbell bench, flys and tricep push downs. Felt good/strong but the muscular endurance felt a little pitiful. Should come back quick. ------------- No one can push you harder then you can push yourself! |

tuesday was shoulders: Seated military press up to 205 for 5, lateral raises, dumbbell curls, hammer curls. Wednesday was legs: hack squats with 10 plates for 3, leg press, leg extensions, leg curls. Thursday I started working on spinning for stones. Ive never really tried this before. I coach throwing at a high school and there is a 16lb shot i can use before practice. Taped a few of them as I went, I found a lot of different things I need to fix. Was taking it nice and slow to get the feel of what i was doing. Most were in the 45 to 46 foot range. I feel like I can get a long ways with this just need to practice. Tomorrow I get to use my new Hammer blades and see how that goes. Looking forward to actually throwing and getting back in the swing of things. ------------- No one can push you harder then you can push yourself! |

first practice of the year was yesterday...... all i have to say is its been too long. The 56 threw me around and owned me for the day. Going to get some equipment for myself so i can practice when I want to. Hammer was the highlight but still wasnt good. Starting using blades for the first time and the throw feels completely different, not bad just different. ------------- No one can push you harder then you can push yourself! |

3 games into my season and so far doing pretty ok. placed 2nd, 1st and 4th(threw like crap) so far Best marks so far this year: Braemar: 38'2" was a PR but still looking for 40' Open stone: 49'7" PR. Content 5 inches off my season goal HWFD: 31' something. having a hard time staying in on my good throws LWFD: 68'8" PR goal was to get 70' this year im getting close HH: 79' PR. I HATE HAMMERS!!! want to get to 85'+ LH: 94'10" PR still hate hammers goal is 105'+ Sheaf: 22' 20lb Throwing way higher i just have to learn to throw through the uprights instead of hitting them. Wob: 13' tied PR Consistent here needs work Caber: turned 2 of 3 so far and tried a challenge caber at Newport was fun but not even close. Been working my ass off trying to get my hammers better but to no avail. Feels fast but watching my video Im still slow as crap. 4 or 5 more practices before my next games in a week and a half we shall see if it gets any better. Athena, Portland and Enumclaw in July. 2 of my biggest games of the year need to get my ish together. ------------- No one can push you harder then you can push yourself! |

Had my first practice of the year on 05/08 Braemar- consistent around 37/38 LWFD- Had a lifetime best at 72'6" LH- Not good lost some from last year was 95-100 HH- SUCKED slow and doesnt have any explosion 75ish feet A few more practices before my first games in Bellingham hopefully will help those get back closer to where they need to be. ------------- No one can push you harder then you can push yourself! |

First games of the season for me is over. Didn't do as well as i was expecting or hoping. Decent sized A class about 12 of us. Overall took 1st place. Braemar: 1st 36' and change. Elbow has been hurting this didnt help it. Open: 1st 46'5" good stone not my day for pushing. HWFD: 2nd 31'4" bad toss all over the place. LWFD: 1st 63'5" fouled all but one out the back. the nonfoul was the shortest Light hammer: 2nd 102'9" content with this throw. all 3 were over 101. I think thats a first. WOB: 4th 13' average for me need to get more powerful. caber: 3rd 11:50. It was either you flipped it or you tied for last. 3 of us turned it. Sheaf: 1st 24'. Was sooooo close to 26 which would have been a PR but nope just blasted the crossbar. ------------- No one can push you harder then you can push yourself! |
