training throws

 

• 23.5# braemar stone- 3-5 throws, 30-32'
• 16# open stone- 5-8 throws, 37-40', working on transition from glide to power position, need to keep shoulders square to rear of trig for as long as possible, focus on relaxing and pushing the left shoulder forward, therefore positioning the stone farther behind the hip
• 56#WFD- 5-8 throws, low 30s, focus on drive to the trig and wait after the 2nd spin, stay low though both spins
• 28#WFD- 8-10 throws, mid 60s, again: drive hard to the trig, stay low through both spins
• 22# Heavy hammer- don't drag hammer around before lifting, lift early, set the high point behind me and drive the hammer down then pull hard

2011 Phoenix Highland Games in t-minus 7 days and counting. One last training session and full deload for the week. Will do some very light cardio and stretching on wednesday, then some shotput glide drills with a mini band to work on staying square to the rear of the throwing area..
