Wed Throws

Standing w/reverse x5
Walk and pop x5

56lb weight entry drill x5

28lb 2 turn throw x8

16lb sheaf 
bottomw up x5
full x5

Kept the tempo and intensity pretty moderate here since I am still pretty fatigued. On the bright side, sheaf felt great and I cleared my 30 foot fence all 5 times with ease.

Thursday Lower

Workout #1

Warmup: 45 degree hyper x20, GHR x20, Rev hyper x20, Landmine x20, Standing abs x20, sled dragss, 1 leg squat 2x10, 1 leg KB dead 2x5, BB front squat 2x10, hip mobility work

Caber
Walks x100 yards
Runs x2
Turns x5 (got 3 out of 5, timing a little off when throwing into the wind)

Workout #2

2 rounds of complex of: Snatch grip high pull x6/Behind the neck press x6/Snatch balance x6

BB Free squat w/chain and band
bar 3x10
bar+avg band x5
bar+avg band and 40lb chain x5
bar+avg band and 80lb chain x5 (kept this from here on out)
155x2
195x2
245x2
265 3x2
285 3x2

5 rounds of deadlift superset: 
Isometric pulls w/405 into pin 6 for 6 second holds supersetted w/speed pulls 325x2 

Ab wheel 3x12
Rev hyper 2x20
Knee jumps 3x5

I needed to do some heavier stuff this cycle on the squat and one of out powerlifters was doing his circa max phase so I jumped in with him. Free squatting does aggravate my psoas/low back but the sets felt fast. The isometric pulls were just horrible, deadlifting 405 from the floor into pin 6 for a 6 second hold is pretty excruciating and the strain makes you feel like your going to pass out, supersetting this with speed work to maintain bar speed makes it just that much more unpleasant. The back was hating me at the end of this but it was all good work.

Saturday double sessions

AM Upper Body

Warmup: Cuff complex, upper body sled drags, flat DB bench 4x20, band pullaparts 4x20

BB Pause Bench
barx20
135x10
185x5
225x5
275x3
295x3
315x3

Slingshot bench (starting w/xxl slingshot
365x3
385x3
405x3 (switched into XL slingshot here)

5 board press w/xxl slingshot
365x5
385x5

Pressing was supersetted w/rev hyper shrugs 3x20 and scapular retractions on pullup rings 3x10

Supine med ball throw 3x5 supersetted w/fat man pullups 3x10


Session # 2 PM Throwing

18lb shot standing throw progression x12

16lb stone 
standing w/reverse x8
walk and pop x5

12lb shot full spin x5 (just wanted to give it a shot for fun)

56lb weight
Entry drill x5
2 turn throw x5

49lb weight 2 turn throw x3

28lb 2 turn throw x8

WOB x3

My thumb was just dying on me by the time I got to LWFD, this put a hurting on the practice towards the end and killed WOB for me. Probably time to break in a new glove because if my thumb is bleeding, then it sort of negates the purpose of a glove. Stones were nothing special, heavy weights were sufficient and LWFD was still crap. I need to look at film of this one and see what I can do about it. I may have gone a little overboard in the AM bench workout, I was trying to keep up with our powerlifters but realistically it may have been a little more volume than what I really need and it fried me a bit.

God aweful hammer day today, just felt very tight in general and could not loosen up. I was origionally going to lift after this but after this shit show I decided going home and getting some rest was a better idea. I may try to throw hammer again on friday if I have the time in order to make up for this useless session.

Benching was supersetted w/pulldowns 3x15

Finished with a bunch of mobility stuff to stay loose

I watched some serious film over the last few days of my latest throwing session compared to some of the great pros out there as well as of my PR throw from central florida in the LWFD. I realised that I was getting into the habit of turning too late on the entry and as a result not getting enough separation and killing my tempo and implement speed. I was getting lazy about filming myself and this was a big mistake. Today I worked on turning earlier and made some good progress with a final throw of 70+ in the LWFD. Normally I throw several feet farther in a games, so if I can continue with getting my entry and tempo right, I should throw a little better.

Friday Throws

Warmup: Various mobility drills at gym

Heavy Hammer
Walking winds x10 forward/back
10 wind drill x2
3 wind and release into ground x5
3 wind throw x5

Light hammer 3 wind throw x5

Got in my truck and went to another field for more throwing.

56lb weight 
Entry drill x5
2 turn throw x5

49lb weight 2 turn throw x3

28lb weight 2 turn throw x10

WOB x5

Good day here, hammer felt the best it has in a very long time, I was out at or near practice bests on many of the throws with the HH. Stones were decent for me, heavy weight was great and I was at practice PR distances with both the 56 and 49. LW was not as nice as the other day and I think fatigue was slowing down my footwork a bit at this point. I rallied well with some nice WOB work and shut it down. This is my last major throw session before Ormond beach, just walk throughs next week and deloading.

Ormond Beach Games 

I went up on Friday with the Wife, woke up early, ate a steak omelet and made my way to the field. I had a strong class as usual these days to compete against. It was raining a little in the morning and it made for a hot, balmy day. Here is how it went:

Open Stone: 37'9 4th place, all standing throws, best of the year but not a PR

HWFD: 35'4 1st place, the trig was slow with a thick grass on it, I just couldn't get it moving in order to finish like I wanted to, nobody was throwing particularly well on this trig.

LWFD: 70'10, 2nd place, same deal with the slow trig, I had to really get it moving from the start to throw any distance.

Heavy hammer: 94'3 on my 2nd throw for a PR, 1st place, the hammer was not a "flier" however it was a bit downhill, my previous PR was also done on this field last year.

Light Hammer: 111'1, 1st place. I just couldn't quite get it going like I wanted to here.

Caber: Turned it twice for 12:30 each time, Shane turned a 12:00 after climbing the hill and throwing it downhill and requested the judges to record it as 12:30 since he felt he used the terrain to his advantage. Very sporting move on his part, I believe we tied for first as a result.

Sheaf: 32ft, started to shank them at 34 and Steve Laser hit a big PR and beat me here. 2nd place.

WOB: 16ft, 1st place, as usual I went for 17 and hit the bar a few times but couldnt get it over.

Final result: 1st place in A-class 

I had a lot of fun competing with everyone and they pushed me as usual. I was hoping to finish the Florida season with a few more big throws with the weights, sheaf and WOB but it was not to be. At this point I am done for a little while, my next son will be coming into the world in June and we need to move to a bigger house so that is the priority. Im hoping to get into the Amateur worlds again in August and the East Coast championships. It all depends on how the family situation at the time. I have a lot of things to fix in the meantime, if I don't improve a lot I will get destroyed in Minnesota and by my own Florida A-class next year. There is a ton of technical stuff to fix and I have the time to do it. I will probably take it easy with throwing for a little while and gradually ramp it back up through the summer.

Tuesday Upper Assistance

Warmup: Cuff complex, upper body sled drags, double KB overhead press 3x20, DB pullovers 3x20

Seated overhead BB pin press 
barx10
95 3x10

Pin press was supersetted w/strict pullups on rings 3x2

2 rounds of superset of: double KB outside the leg swing x20, wide pulldown x10, jump rope x50

Finished w/some mobility stuff

I went to a ART/chiro guy today and am hoping to have my hip/low back/psoas thing fixed. Its been bothering me for years and I think not only has an impact on my training but also my ability to get separation on stones in particular. Hopefully we will be able to fix this once and for all. My training is going to be a little different in that I will follow basically a progressive overload type of template for a while as I try to regularly do free squatting and deadlifting and see if those symptoms go away over time while performing these since they have been problematic in the past.

Thursday Lower

Warmup/Accessory: GHR x20, Rev hyper x20, standing abs x20, landmines x20, 45 degree hyper x20, 1 leg squat x10, 1 leg deadlift x5, various mobility excercises 

2 rounds of complex of: Snatch grip high pull x6/Behind the neck press x6/Snatch balance x6

BB Hang Power Snatch 95 3x5

BB Front Squat w/harness
barx10
95x10
135x10
185 2x10

Stiff Leg DL 
135x10
185 2x10

Bent BB Row 135 2x10

Ab wheel 2x10

Everything today was light and done with a much slower negative than normal with a generally very controlled tempo. This serves as a bit of a deload on the joints while at the same time assuring I can try to dial in good form. This early high rep phase of progressive overload work has always been what I hated the most about it. At this point it is a necesssary evil in order to get back to doing some of the things I have had trouble with for a long time.

Friday Uninspired throws

14lb Hammer
Walking winds 2x10
10 wind drill 2x10
1 wind throw x3
2 wind throw x3
3 wind into ground x3
3 wind throw x3

12lb shot
Standing progression x12
Walk and pop x5

28lb weight
Standing x3
1 turn x3
2 turn x3

I am still at the point in my technique where taking much time off is not a good idea, if I take one month off, it will take another month just to get back to reasonable form. Maybe one day my proficiency will be better but it is not yet. Throwing without a games near just kills my motivation. After going through some of the stuff today in an attempt to make things interesting I think that a few of the drills I did were pretty useless. I will play with various drills and throw once a week for the next month or two. Just enough to maintain some skill.

More light, high rep stuff, the tempo was mostly pretty controlled today. Pullups are back in my program as I have not done them since I tore off the right bicep. I didn't want to mess with them until my florida season was over. I am pretty weak at them right now but should progress over time. Boring stuff overall.

Same deal as last week, I tried to keep the reps very controlled with moderate weights. Slight discomfort in the hole of the front squat but maybe a bit less than in the past. Hopefully my problems will slowly resolve with more treatment and work.

Friday Upper

I started off wanting to get some throws in first, some over the hill fat choad was kicking a soccer ball around in the area that I throw in and then it started pouring rain, I did a little sheaf nearby but got rained out pretty fast.

20lb sheaf
Bottoms up x5
Full x6  (pretty sloppy, its been a while since I used a 20)

Warmup: Upper body drags, cuff complex, pushup 3x20, band pullapart 3x20

BB Bench
barx20
135x10
185x5
225x1
255 2x8

Close grip 195 2x8

Benching was supersetted w/pullups 3x3

Incline DB Bench 2x20 supersetted w/1 arm DB row 2x8

DB Curl 2x20 supersetted w/cable extension 2x20

Finished w/mobility and DDP yoga stuff

Another light day, nothing very exciting. No motivation to throw right now and getting rained out didn't bother me much. We shall see how much throwing I get in the next month or so. As much as I don't want to lose my skills, I mentally need some time off from it and if my mind is not in it, then I am just going through the motions which is just no good. As I get deeper into the summer I will ramp it back up for sure.

I had to rush warmups due to time constraints. First week of free back squatting this cycle, still some discomfort in the lower back in the hole with this moderate weight, hopefully this will alleviate further. Kept the deads and rows very controlled, particularly on the negative since this is where I have the most issues with the back acting up on me. I did the assistance work which I normally would do as a warmup today at the end to make up for some volume. Nothing special, still easy weights.

Incline 185 2x5 supersetted w/DB bent raise 2x10

DB curl 2x20 supersetted w/BB skull crusher 2x10

Nothing too great today, took my grip in on the bench since I was always a little stronger in that position. The slow, controlled reps really killed my explosiveness as planned and now it will take a few weeks to get it back as I gradually increase the weights.

I felt like hell during this one for the most part, the weekend was exhausting and my shift monday was very bad with little sleep. I had to just take it one set at a time to make it through this one as I just wanted to go home and sleep.

Monday Throws

Light hammer
walking wind 2x10
10 wind drill x2
3 wind and release into ground x3
3 wind throw x8

16lb stone
Standing throw progression x8
1-2 drill x4
Standing no reverse x4

28lb weight 2 turn throw x8

I was motivated to get back onto the field. After feeling pretty good on hammer and starting to warmup  on stone, the sprinklers deluged me with water and kind of screwed up everything for the rest of the session since I and my implements along with the ground were all soaked. I guess the good thing is it made me take easy throws and I think I am maybe getting a little better separation with all of my t-spine mobility work.

Low volume today since I was limited on time and energy. Pressing sucks as always, just very tough getting in a good rack position and feeling strong on the setup despite improving mobility.

Wednesday throws

16lb stone
Standing progression x10
Standing no reverse x5
Standing w/reverse x5

28lb weight 2 turn throw x6

20lb sheaf
bottoms up x5
full x5

Stone and weight throws were all 70-80% effort and the volume was pretty low. I was pretty much just focusing on positions and getting my conditioning up for throwing during the summer in florida. The sheaf work gave me some very interesting insight into the changes that I need to make to throw the 20lb sheaf in comparison to the 16, I have a lot of work to do in regards to this event. On a high note, I received an invitation to throw at the amateur championship in MN. Huge honor to get to share the field again with so many great athletes and I hope to improve enough to be competitive on some events.
