4/9/13 - stones

Training @ 1145a

15.5# stone
*standing x12-14
*spin x10-12

Standing getting better. Bent over a little bit more today to get a longer push. Still trying to drive the right knee in and down to start the movement then get into a reverse C position. Feeling stronger, not much energy today as still pretty stiff from legs yesterday. Spins were a shit show.

Watched a lot of video of Armstrong, Hoffa, Cantwell and Godina. They all have one thing in common. The ball itself travels very little in the ring. In comparison, I appear to be dive bombing my upper body into the middle of the trig whereas these shotputters come out of the back slow and relaxed. Turn their torso to about 3:00 and then whip their right leg around and into position incredibly fast. The left pulls under and boom. All the while the shot itself doesn't even move very much. Something to think about. Stones again tomorrow. I've got to get these under control.
