Hey, I'm brand new to the games. Did a clinic last fall with Kilt Life, but haven't competed yet, I hope to this season. Only thing going against me is I'm a small guy, 5'7" 175lbs currently and I'm in the military so I can't pack on a ton of weight if it's not lean, but I'm trying. I just need a new competitive outlet and I love Scottish culture and the highland games. I decided to start a log on here mostly to keep myself accountable and give a little extra motivation to make sure I get my training in. Like I said my numbers aren't anywhere near most of the people on here, but I'm just hoping to get stronger and have some fun competing.
I've been doing Jim Wendell's 5/3/1 for almost the past year, so that's how most of my training is structured. Hoping to add some cleans/snatches.
Had to make up for a late start last week due to being sick and not getting all my days in.
Today: Overhead Presses
Warm up: Bar x 6, 75 x 3 100lb x 3 115 x 3 130 x 6 (Goal was 9, so didn't make it today, but I'm still getting back into it after being fat and lazy over Christmas) First Set Last 5 x 5 at 100 lbs
Seated DB Shoulder Press (did strict reps) 25lb x 15 30 x 8 30 x 12
Weighted Dips/Pull up (varied grips) Supersetted with 25lbs Did 5 sets - 32 Total Dips / 20 Total Pull ups
Curls 5 x 10-15 at 45-55 lbs (put my back into some of the later sets to get a few extra reps)
Sprints: 20 yards x 5, 40 yards x 5
Threw LWFD: 40' was my best today, which is up from the last time I threw (only my 3rd or so time throwing).

Thanks Tom. I think I'm going to try to make the Jacksonville (NEFL games) as my first ones if my schedule permits. I believe they have a novice division which is definitely where I need to be.

Don't worry if the throws "feel like shit". It's all about reps, reps, reps in the throws. Love the log, keep up the great work man!
