Deads, Pressing, and my first highland events experience

3/9
I don't want to disclose how terrible my pulling was. My upper back is tore up from something and I couldn't get it locked in so I didn't have a lot of luck getting much weight off the ground.

3/10
Pressing wasn't anything to brag about either. I got adjusted, but my back is still beat up so I planned on just pressing light and not doing a whole lot else. I ended up just doing strict press with the log.

180x5
200x3
230x2

After the log Jesse, Mac, and Chuck wanted to go throw for highland games so I tagged along. Apparently I'm pretty decent with the open stone or 16lb shot, whatever it's called. I think my best throw was a little over 45'. The HWFD was awful. I threw it maybe 20 or 25'. The LWFD was a little better than the HWFD. I think I threw this close to 40' or so. Light hammer is gonna take some work, my best throw was like 82' or something like that.

Before today I was kind of against doing any highland games, but I think I might get into it a little bit. I thought that it would be just one more thing to try to get good at when I should be concentrating on strongman. I don't think it will get in the way of anything else and it will be a nice break from heavy training and strongman work.
