right erector is bugging me now and I'm still sick.. workout was ultra shitty, aside from the gym PR that didn't feel too hard, just wanted to work up to a heavy single so I shut it down at my PR althought I'm sure I still had a good bit left.

stones are feeling better though still need alot of work on the glide

WFD felt smooth, just getting the reps in

again with hammer, just getting reps in, speeding things up and working on balance/leg drive

working on hip drive with the standing WOB, no spins yet as I don't want to piss of my erectors too much

macros = 78f / 486c / 307p = 3930

4/11/11 - squats

squats felt good, no issues with the adductor or erectors, stopped at 405, don't want to tax the CNS too hard so lose to comp

macros = 80f / 443c / 332p = 3862

4/10/11 - throws

training

• 16# open stone- 10 standing throws @ 38-39', 10 glide @ 39-42'
• 30# WFD- 5 standing @ 50', 5 single spin @ 60', 6 double spin @ 69'
• light hammer - 6-8 throws @ 115'

still working on opening up later without sacrificing speed to the trig, need lots of work on this

WFD feels smooth, looking for some big #s in vegas

hammer is feeling better, turned on the speed a bit, need to work on utilizing leg drive more and controlling balance since I've been away from the hammer for so long due to the abdominal injury

re-injured the left adductor again, very minor but this is going to affect squats tomorrow, need to get this rehab figured out so I can start squatting normal again

macros = 79f / 398c / 318p = 3552 cals

widened up the stance on the standing throws and focused on opening up later on the glide, lots of work to be done here

focused on really reaching back with tight hamstrings and getting good hip drive

haven't practiced hammer much lately, need to work on speed and getting down lower to utilize more leg drive

3/31/11 - squats/throws

training (rehab workout)

leg press- 3pps x10, 4pps x10, 5pps x10 ......... worked  up to 10pps x10
24" box jumps- BWx8, +25x8, +50x8, +70x5, +90x5 x3sets
pullups- BWx3, BWx3, +25x3 x6 sets, +25x4 (dropped db on 5th rep so it was just BW)
band assisted GHR- BWx10, BWx8, BWx10
RDL- 315x6 x3sets

left spinal erector is still bugging me so decided to not squat and let it rest up. leg press was meh, ok at best, definitely easy and didn't quite fulfill me like squats do. I was happy with the box jumps, 24" box is the highest they go so I'm going to keep doing them with +90 for a while and work up from there in weight.. the GHR/RDL supersets were insane, my hammies were screaming, felt awesome..

evening throws training

23.5# braemar - 5-10 throws, 80-90% hitting low 30s, best ~35'

16# stone, glide - 15-20 throws, 75-80%, hitting mid 30s, best ~42'

30# WFD - 3 standing, 3 single spin, 5 double @ ~60% hitting mid 50s


focused on getting wound nice and tight on the braemar, then driving forward and getting into that reverse C. again with the glide, focusing on getting that power foot in position and turned to really wind up my core in additionl to slowing down the explosion so that I can get up on both legs. WFD was really slow, just wanted to focus on the release, driving the weight forward as well as upward..

macros = 57f / 522c / 287p = 3739
