Threw HWD

started with the 62 for 6 throws best of 31+
went to the 56 threw about 10-15 throws best of 36+ just not hitting the power right I'm going to get the video camera from my dad and post some videos so maybe I can get some input on what I'm missing here weight feels so light just doesn't seem to fly.  Doing 20lb sheaf later will update on how that goes.

It's just good practice anyway man. Remember what we talked about. Tape a throw and then watch it when you go shag. Look and work on certain things. Watch video of your favorite top guy and compare what you do to them.   Real time feedback man!   Your awesome man!!

Open Stone at Lunch time

3 standing no reverse
3 standing with reverse
15 full throws felt really good best of 49' 2" (that is a big throw for me) everything else was in the 45+ range a lot of 47 and 48 guess that day off was needed.

Alright guess I should get caught up on my log

Sat Night thru Sheaf again, second throw I hooked it and it got wet (rolled in the brook) was a little heavier after that so just did what I could...

ok on to today I threw

62 lb weight for distance 5 or 6 throws hit 32+
then 56 for distance every throw was 37+
ok then I started with the 28 WFD first throw was 66+ then started to go to hell then I realized how much I was slipping in my Tanels so I put on my soccer cleats and wow what a difference and started hitting 67, 68 and the last one was a 70 so needless to say I was losing a lot sliding around with those other cleats will post up some video later so maybe I can get some feed back.

Thanks Don ys my stone has being getting better and better I think I owe it to line drills and improving my power position.
No ECC this year headed to Altamont on sunday Capital District Games.

practice at lunch
took a couple of days off I was feeling really tired and wore out so think those days off helped .
warm up
OS took 8-10 throws best of 50+
LWD started with my old 28 just to warm up then grabbed the other took well too many throws all 68+ and 69+ just could break that 70 barrier today legs still feel a little slow and sluggish going to do some prehab stuff to loosen them up. 
No lifting this week just feel like I need to just focus on throwing right now and not feeling that lifting is going to do much with two more weekends in a row.
 If you haven't heard I'm going to Minnesota for the World Amateur Championship so that will be my fourth weekend in a row and I'm trying to adjust to be ready for it....
