So training is pretty slow this week from it being a test week. Ill be back at normal in two weeks. next week all throwing and light lifting.
TOSSING:
Yesterday Andy was in town and we took a couple hammer throws out in the cold shit weather. 40* and misting rain. Other then it being tricky to keep a good hold in the hammer things feel like they are getting better.
22 hammer: 2 turns best of 103' my pr is 107'
16 hammer: 2 turns best of 135' PR is 135'
Here is some video The battery was dying so like the Humble generous host I am I let Andy keep filming his. My last throw is 22# 103'
Things feel like they are starting to click in the hammer. I feel my feet working also feel it get long and accelerate out. I will keep working the 2 turn and eventually move to 3 when I can handle the extra speed. Until then crush the right side.
Today's Training:
I am still testing my MR this week. So far things have been good other than me overestimating my squat. Tonight I went for my MR Overhead Press. I do a Push Press for my overhead I think it translates to the throws better than a jerk. I want the feeling of power transfer all the way from feet to the hands.
Took some time to warm-up since it was cold in the garage. Under 40* tonight in there. I want a thermometer for inside there. I know the summer heat is brutal. I digress here is the lifting.
OH:
bar x 10
145 x 5
235 x 3
285 x 3
345 x 7 PR
This is going to give me a training max of 425lbs. I am happy with this. I am looking forward to see what happens in 5 more weeks of a strength cycle.
