Precisely. 8/22 245# SLDLs, 3x8. Lower back wasn't having it, so went to the park and did... 14# OS - tried the full spin again just for giggles, hit a couple near 55' or so. Huh.

"Re-learning" implies that actual learning took place at some point.
8/23 Power Cleans: 2 high pulls + 1 catch, up to 245# Singles w/catch up to 285#. I'm guessing this is pretty much my 1RM these days. That's about 83% of my all-time best, which is oddly enough about where my throws have been. Maybe there's something to this "strength" stuff after all?

8/27
Throws 17# Braemar Non-Reverse x5, best of 39' Fulls x8, best of 43' I've fiddled with my positions, left arm block, wider stance, opening up the hips sooner etc. over the years. But I think this is just one of those strong-or-not type events you can't finesse, you just have to go to the bad place and smack the snot out of it. LWFD 1-turns x 5, mostly around 66-67'. Fulls x 8, best of 73'. Tried to work on staying closed and using the left arm. I'm only picking up 11% or so with the 2nd spin, blech. 17# Braemar Stone Non-reverse: best of 39' Full: Best of 42.

Dave great to see you posting again, just don’t call it a comeback! As for the braemar, are you thinking of lifting the stone then rotating into the throw or rotating then lifting? It is the long/short v the short/long glide technique. I see most guys trying to rotate into the throw before they lift. IMHO you should lift, extending the lower body as far as possible, keeping the stone back as long as possible....then smacking the snot out of it. Or just go for a big smack from the get go. Satch

Hey there Satch, great to hear from you! I’m focused on keeping the stone back as long as possible, but maybe it keeps me too slow out of the back. Geez, 20+ years and I’m still trying to figure all this stuff out.
9/4 Back Squats: 225# 2x5, 315# 5x3 28# weight throwing: 1 spin up to 67’ full throws up to 73’. Humidity was playing hell with my grip, grrr |

I melted yesterday. It was awful. Had to get groceries after and I think people thought I was a serial killer.

9/8 Throws. Melting. Ouch. 28# single and full throws. Didn't measure, but I'm guessing they were in the 95 to 100 foot range. 42# WOB, focus on reaching back. Starting to like this weight... 9/10 Well, no sooner does the weather break then comes the rain. Probably good since I'm feeling kinda beat up from throwing. Anybody got ideas on how to practice stone without aggravating a wrist injury?Back squats up to 305#, 3x3 Snatch pulls - 205#, 5x5 |

Update: Nuthin' but throwin' and I don't see that changing anytime soon. I haven't been measuring, but I'm guesstimating that most of them have been 10-15% farther than whatever the current WR is...
Trying to increase the protein and the zzzzzs. Loon this weekend, Celtic (!) the weekend after. SOMEBODY has to make last place look cool...
