4/9/12 - throws: stones

training

16# stone
*step over x5
*braemar x5
*full spin x ~20

energy was nil today. By the 3rd step over I knew it was going to be a tough day for good #s so I just went through the motions and tried to nail the positions. Watched a bunch of videos of shotputters doing the full spin and how smooth it looks. Decdied to slow it down and work on making a smooth transition into the power position. Focused on keeping my chest/shoulders/left arm up while transitioning during the spin. Subsequently this allowed me to get a lot more separation. Was only throwing 43s, but they were effortless. A few more practices like this and I'll be able to speed it up without breaking down.
