Throwing and Events

Friday 4-20

I went to Jesse's with the intention of throwing a little, but Melissa was training so I had to find some stuff to do while I waited.

The only highlight really is that I did one set of 20 with 225 squatting. These were easy, but I was still breathing heavy and tired after them.

I did some weight over bar up to 13' too.

Shortly after that we went to throw.

LWFD
I didn't realize how much form I had lost on these until I tried to throw and completely forgot how.

I think most of my throws were in the low 50's. I would like to be over 60'. I don't think it will be that difficult if I can figure out the spin and do this when I'm a little more fresh.

We forgot the Braemer, so we threw a 16 pound shot.

These were ok, but I wasn't getting much leg drive out of them. Probably from squatting first.



Events 4-22
60# sledge 5 swings per arm, 2 sets
This is a great way to get some blood moving.

Light snatches
135 and 155 by a couple

Axle
worked up to 310 x 1 easy.
Put on 330 and missed it. This shouldn't be that hard. I'm going to blame benching with quite a bit more volume than I'm used to for this.

Log
I also need to work on the log since I haven't used it forever and have a contest coming up with it.
250 x 5 easy
270 x 5 not so easy. The pressing was pretty good, I just ran out of gas and am not used to having a log on my chest and breathing.

Keg carry and Load
250 and 270 keg for 40 feet, load over a 48" bar.
Did 2 runs. The time was probably similar on both. I'm guessing somewhere in the low 20 second range.

Stone over bar.
330 stone
one set of 3 reps
one set of 5 reps
I could have done more on the last set, by my right sleeve slid down my arm and I couldn't get a grip on the stone with it like that. Next time I'll have to make sure it is tighter.

Car Deadlift
I really only wanted to do this because I just built a car deadlift frame. We weren't loading it a lot, but I also don't know how to compare it to other car deadlifts that I have done. The frame itself is so heavy that it affects the weight a lot.

I did one set of 3 with Troy standing on the frame behind me and Jesse's kia loaded. (I didn't know Troy was on the frame.)

10 x 1 I couldn't believe how much lighter this felt without Troy on it.
25 x 1 I was gonna do 13, then kept going. I am paying for it in a good way today.
