El Gran Beto indeed. She is absolutely rediculous. It doesn't even make sense to be that attractive.

Nice throwing. Wish we had stuff like that in the rural backwoods known as the South.

I was looking at your lifting and it looks like Juggernaut. Are you running it again? If so I'm assuming you were very happy with the results from the first go around. Are you running it on all your lifts or only a few of them? I'm running it now for the first time. I hope I get the results that you and jester and pitbull got from it. Time shall tell I guess.

If you want to throw you can throw. Most of my practice is by myself & my implements are all DIY. There are Scottish festivals all over the South...

For my current schedule, I'm planning on lifting 4 days a week. For the next 10 weeks or so, it will look like this, plus assistance work:

Monday:
- Deadlifts (Matt Gary Singles)
- DE Squats
Wednesday:
- MM2K Heavy Bench
- SOHP (TJM 10s Wave)
Friday:
- Squats (TJM 10s Wave)
Saturday:
- MM2K Medium Bench Day
- Push Press (Rhodes 531)

HG Practice with OC Highlanders - 3-4 hours. Got Tons of throws in today. I'm exhausted, but got to do every event:

Stones - felt decent today, nothing spectacular.

HWFD - Set a PR, had a couple of throws in the 23-25' range, footwork felt pretty good.

LWFD - Throwing consistently around 51-53', this is also a PR

WOB - missed 11' twice with the 56# weight, but I'm pretty sure I can get it.

Caber - worked with a 95lb, 16' caber. Lots of trouble with the pick.

Sheaf - 1st time attempting this. Felt ok...

Heavy Hammer - throws were in the low-mid 60s, pretty good.

Light Hammer - threw one 83' today - first time over 80! Next throw was 81'.

Whats a BBM gripper? Is it a beef builder?

 

[calvus]

Whats a BBM gripper? Is it a beef builder?

Yep, Beef Builder Master, with 5/8" handles. The narrow diameter handles mean you have to close it farther...

I also have the Beef Builder Grand Master extended handle - the extended handle is awesome for negatives...

I got the BBM 5/8 because it was supposed to fall between the CoC @& 2.5...I think its much closer to the 2.5 & I don't like the narrow handles. The BBGM extended handle is harder than the 2.5 - love the extended handle....

Plyos (Bounding)
5x LRLR
5x RRLR

Throwing
8x Hammer Winds with Chain handle hammer 16#
8x Light Hammer Throws
5x Standing Open Stone Throws
5x Braemar Throws (25 lb)
5x Reverses
7x Full Throws

Kind of a light throwing practice today. But it probably should have been lighter. I think with the volume of other work I'm doing right now, the throwing practices during the week should more about drilling. By the time I got to the O-Stone Full Throws today I was tired & the throws were only going about 33-35'.

Open Stone #2:

 

[calvus]

Here are some stills from Hammer Video above - 3rd turn.

I need to use my hips more, bend my knees more & keep my arms straighter.

 

[calvus]

Here are some stills from Pros - this is what my hammer should look like:

 

[calvus]

Open Stone Form Check:

I'm opening up way to soon...not using my hips...really need to fix this.

 

[MIDMOBOX]

You need to put.one.of those stones through that wall in the background, castle siege style.

 

[livingdeadmoose]

I don't feel qualified on giving advice on the hammer since I am still learning it but I can help you on your stone.

Stay a litter lower on your spin so you can be more explosive at the end.

Take a smaller first step.

When you bring your left leg behind you, don't raise it so high, you lose speed like that. Kick it behind you to get you into your throwing stance. It should almost drag (but not touch the ground.

 

[calvus]

Thanks Moose!

Midmo, that's a good idea, might try it...

DB Windmills

Good workout today! First time benching 280 for a double. I think I could have done 3, so that's cool. Short rest periods for all of the assistance work - the Dips & Rows were tough. For some reason I really despise dumbbell rows. DB Windmills were also really tough, it's supposed to work my abs, but it really feels like a mobility exercise for me.
