Missed you as well, plus a chance to see Durso again and an opportunity to throw with Bill. We were up in Rome, GA for a thing. |

Finished out last week of normal protocol running max sets of 6. Fatigue was up and strength was down, but quitting doesn't get it done.
Saturday 3/25/17 was a 5k Yoda Hike for charity. The DOMS have got me today. Heading into a week of sets of 4 coming up. Tom |

Last week was normal protocol of 8s, plus recovering from an unrelated neck and a foot injury. I have also nailed down my diet changes and am getting back to regular training this week.
Non-update complete. Tom |

Monday 4/10/17
Not on-sight at normal gym, so I did an OHP variation workout with very heavy Viking Presses. It did the job. Tuesday 4/11/17 Worked on sheaf towers. My original design crashed, so I refurbished my lightweight setup. All that is left is to raise them. Wednesday 4/12/17 Finally back in my normal gym. Dead Lifts

Sunday 5/7/17
Monday 5/8/17 22.2# Braemar x 10 Sheaf x 10 Note for interest: the Destroyer got home from school and I was reviewing his day with him. Turns out he ran a mile in PE, just because. After homework he went to karate for an hour and did strength and balance challenges with his class. He won all of them. Then we came home and he wanted to throw stone. As noted above I did 22# Braemar, but he did 8# open (two hands). I stopped at 10 throws, but he did about 30, all because he got so pissed off at not being able to make it go any farther. Then he said he couldn't lift his arms anymore. Chocolate milk to fix that. He's six. All of this is self initiated. What has happened to my happy-go-lucky kid? Lowercase hviii. Tuesday 5/9/17 Push Press
Hope to get some hammer or WFD done later. Tom |

Last week was a lifting protocol of max sets of 12. It, like all light weeks, felt awful and probably did me a lot of good. It also wasn't worth logging the minuscule weights.
Throwing was fine as well, including a glorious hammer practice. I found my groove and ultraviolence at the same time. Back at normal stuff today. Tom |

Had an aunt go through end of life struggles and funeral this past week, so I fell off logging. I have been lifting and throwing though, between waves of thunderstorms and family travel. I'll be back on proper record keeping this week.
Blairsville Games on 6/10 coming up quick. Stone, LWFD, Hammer, and WOB all feeling good. Sheaf, HWFD, and caber need more work. I did get a nice new blue 42# from Landrich Power Systems to aid in that: Deleted pictures due to Photobucket shenanigans. Thanks Mike! Public Service Announcement: I was replacing worn shackles on my WOB and WFD implements when I got the new 42#. Turns out my HWFD was an inch short and my LWFD was two inches too long. It was all in ring size and shackle size tolerance changes I made that stacked up, now all fixed at back at 18" for both implements. If you haven't checked your practice implements against the NASGA rules lately, now would be a good time. Tom Edited by TomLawrence - 8/03/17 at 10:23am |

Thursday 6/8/17
Squats in triples up to 70% Remaining Games Medley
Headed into the Blairsville Games tomorrow morning. I'm feeling ok about everything but sheaf and caber -- sheaf because I'm short of where I wanted to be and caber because it's caber. Regardless, it will be a good day with friends. Tom |

Saturday 6/10/17
Blairsville Scottish Festival and Highland Games Beautiful day at home. John Allen stepped in as our AD for the event with Dave "Butterbean" Summers acting as co-AD. Eleven As and eight Masters ran like clockwork through the day and we were done by 3:00. That even included a long lunch break during which we were included in the parade of tartans right behind the honored clan. I had never done that before, and it was very cool. Masters included my good friends Randy McClure and the irreplaceable Bill Gray. That's enough to know it's going to be a good day, but the rest of the field were all top notch guys. We went in non-traditional order so we would be opposite of the As. Here's how it shook out: 16# Hammer
42# HWFD
28# LWFD
21.8# Blairsville Stone
Lunch and Parade 16# Sheaf
Caber
42# WOB
Overall - 3rd place overall for Masters with four PRs.
Randy set FIVE field records, which was incredible to watch; and Bill Gray won Spirit of the Game Award. Thanks again to John Allen, Dave Summers, Deb and Dave MacGregor, and my fellow athletes for making it an incredible day. Deleted pictures due to Photobucket shenanigans.

I apparently left it all on the field on Saturday and whatever reserves were left were spent on the tractor on Sunday. Then it was straight into a couple of days of work meetings and feeling like hammered Spam.
Back in the gym today. Wednesday 6/14/17 Rickshaw Shrugs
