Throw!

Throwing practice @ Rossi Field...

Braemar and South-African style throws ~20 (stone weight approx. 15 pounds)

Kettlebell Weight for Distance (both sides) ~20 throws (single cast....still working on double spin)

Kettlebell Weight for Height (both sides) ~20 throws

*All throws done with 36# KB

10x40m sprints (45-60sec. rests)

3sets of 20reps Hanging Leg Raises (straight and oblique)

comments: need a lot of work on the shot technique, not feeling powerful yet on my feet....maybe i should take ballet? Weight for distance is getting a bit better.

Just getting the Highland Games season off to a good start. Placed 4th overall in the C-Class at Woodland. Started up this training blog to keep track of my progress and write down some ideas/observations as i train.

Front Squat 135x5x2
DB Military Press (one arm) 55x5+5x2

comments: light day today. starting up PTP cycle this week along with conditioning 2-3x/week and throwing-specific drills every day, if possible. Hard to work in throwing in the middle of a metropolitan city.
