happy with braemar, felt good. focused on driving forward into double post then getting the chest super high.

glide was all off, I was finally able to get good hip separation but that was by the last couple throws and I was hitting a wall with my arm. note to self- stay down, get that front foot under me, and get the hips around, then follow through to double post and release. need to remember to keep things slow for now.

53# WFD was good, standing and single spin throws really helped me learn to drive forward as well as upward for the release. Nailed a couple PRs in this so I'm satisfied. Started hooking on the single spins so by the time I got to the last couple double spins my thumb felt like it was going to fall off. That definitely limited how hard I could drive to the trig and pull. Need to get a glove so I can throw 50-70% without hooking and save my thumb for my 80%+ throws.

30# WFD was also good, just worked slow double spins focusing again on driving forward AND up on the pull/release, most of them were high 50s without much effort and pretty slow, put a little juice on the last 3 throws but was exhausted by then. 

Overall a good day. Spent 4 hours throwing as I was helping teach a friend of mine the throws. Looking forward to next week as the abs should be feeling ready for hammers again.

macros = 66f / 269c / 280p = 2815 cals, ~approx 150g carbs pre&during throws, could've used another 50g... then again, I was throwing for nearly 4 hours
