Gym candy has been an integral part of my success in lifting. I do not make these accusations lightly. Twelve Laffy Taffys is too much. I know this now. Candy is the cause and solution of all of my problems. 11/3 pressing Deloading a bit from bench so went with a low volume OHP today. 45x10, add red bands, 95x5, 115x3, 135x2 No bands 155x2, 175x2, 175x1 3 second eccentric ohp 135x3, 135x3, 135x3 I've largely eliminated OHP from my life, and it's been wonderful. Today was a good reassurance that I did the right thing. I'll probably do it once in a while just to remind myself how much it sucks. Frolf x18 holes I threw my driver in the pond (unintentionally). I'm going to bring my chest waders next time and retrieve it. I love that disc. |

This guy knows what's up. 11/1 squats 135x5, 135x8, 225x10, 225x10, 225x10, 225x10, 225x10 Pushed the pace and got done in about 20 minutes. Felt like absolute balls afterwards. Thought I was going to puke. I refuse to believe I'm in that bad of shape. The workout itself didn't feel hard. I blame my belly full of Halloween candy. Regardless, I'm going to keep on keepin' on with the work capacity building stuff for squats. |

Word on the street is, any kind of squat is better than no squat.
The streets are wise...

10/20 another morning workout. Squat today
45x10, 135x8 135x8, 225x2, 315x2 These felt bad. When I would hit the hole, my left ham/butt hurt. Because of this, I decided to throw in a box. 16" box squat 225x10, 225x10 In between sets I screwed aroubd with some different stances and bar placement to see if I could find something that didn't hurt. I went with a moderate stance, toes forward, and slightly higher bar placement. That was the hot ticket for today. Seems like every day is different, but as long as I'm able to get some work in, It's cool. Last two sets with no box 225x10, 225x10 |

That's usually how it goes. I do my least shitty work when it matters the least. I'll have plenty of time to re-F myself |

10/12 squat and throws
Squat 135x5, 135x5, 225x10, 225x10, 225x10 Played a couple holes for frolf. Throws Bladeless heavy hammer x4 best of 72' With blades x4 best of 81' Light hammer x6 best of 103' Hammers are feeling less shitty. Was going to do some bladeless light hammer but didn't feel like changing my shoes again. Bunch of sheafing. Figuring some things out again. Took a few spins that actually went pretty well. |

10/11 bench and deads
Bench 135x8, 135x5, 155x5, 185x5, 205x11 Paused close grip 205x8, 205x8, 205x6 Deads 225x5, 315x5, 345x2, 345x2, 345x2, 345x2 This is the first time I've left the gym feeling optimistic. I missed deadlift and they felt good today. Granted, the weight was light, but it felt and moved like lightw eight which is good. |

Comfort over max strength.
In this sport, you don't need to squat a house to do well ....although, I hear it does help

10/7 squat
Trying doubles for squat just like deadlift. I need things to start moving right again. 135x8, 225x5, 275x5, 315x2, 335x2, 335x2, 335x2, 335x2 Squats moved well. Tried a narrow stance and didn't push my knees out. It's probably not optimal for maximizing strength but it was comfortable so hopefully it'll be sustainable. My brain was weird tonight though. Random unplanned paused reps. Not ideal. Front squat 335x1, 335x1 |

I hear ya. Hammers have just been such a cluster fuzz that something has to change. Most of my winter training consists of blameless winds anyway. That set me up well last year coming into the season, so I figured I might as well get a jump on it. I'll probably throw the blades on a couple times yet, but I crave different right now.

Beware of the sweet siren that is bladeless hammer.
It's so convenient and easy to fetch them. But the more bladeless hammer you throw, the less you throw as you would with blades. I do think so bladeless hammer is a good thing!! I do it over the winter when I wanna throw in the snow/ice out of a shot put circle. But yeah, just a buyer beware!

10/3 deads and throws
I decided to try what I did last time I hurt my back and had to work my way back for deads. Doing doubles starting very light and gradually working my way up over weeks/months while staying far from failure. Probably add 5-10lbs a week and hope things feel better as I go. 135x8, 225x5, 315x5, 335x2, 335x2, 335x2, 335x3, 335x2 Throws 42 hwfd x5 best of 43' Sheaf pulls x6 were weird Bladeless hammers 16 x4 best of 90' then I broke it as I was figuring things out. 22 x 5 best of 75' Feeling some things without blades. Probably going to do most of off-season training sans blades. I need to get back to basics. |
