stones feeling good, not getting up onto my left as much as I need to but it's coming along. Threw uphill at lunch as usual, body is really feeling beat up, looking forward to the deload before competing sunday. South african felt good, nice and snappy. Sheaf went well, focused on blocking and a big back swing, both of which are coming along nicely. Also need to sink a bit more so I can get more legs into it. It all came together on a few throws and had some fantastic height, going to try to get 30ft in tucson.

exhausted is the way to describe that workout. I've been chasing that 315 push press for 9 months now. Last time I got it was in february and I was 300+ lbs. Now that I'm in the high 270s, it just doesn't want to go. I had it about an inch from lockout and brought it down like a dummy. Tried again and it was no bueno. Oh well.. a goal for this off season is to get this up closer to 350, maybe not 350 but as close as possible. Going to really start adding the pounds after Tucson.

macros- I don't know ore care right now, I'll start tracking again next week.
