16# hammer x2
22/16/16 x7 rounds, best 22=107, best 16=134

Hammers went fairly well. I'm pretty tired today, despite not training this morning. Got up at 345 and headed into work early since we've been really slammed. Took a few winds to warmup and then took two with the 16 to warmup with throws. Those went 115 and 118 respectively which I was happy about. Today was really focusing on the finish. Really pulling my right elbow down to accellerate the ball through the low point on the finish. On the ones I got REALLY anxious, I ended up losing width on my orbit and despite good throws, they could've been better had I stayed long and wide and really "scooped" the hammer for the finish. Got to keep working on this at a higher speed. With sub-max speeds I can really nail this but as I get closer to 100% it gets tougher and tougher. Regardless, had a very good hammer day. Only 2 heavy hammers under 100 and avg 103-104. Once I picked up the sauce on the 16s I was averaging about 131. A couple 128s, a 127, two 132s, two 131s and a 134. Getting more confident with these. Need to throw the 22 more as it feels very sluggish. Looking forward to next hammer day.
