Yeah, I'm gonna throw more. This week is lacking in throwing so far but I'm gonna step on it. What I'm going to do is incorporate a lot of footwork and hip drills on my 'off' days and I'll have Tues/Sat of throwing. Then on the days I lift I'll do a few heavy weight distance, hammer, and heavy weight height throws...like 3-4 throws for each.

The throwing is the most important thing so this way with this schedule I get some sort of throwing reinforcement just about everyday. While getting stronger with the weights is cool it doesn't mean I'll throw further.
 
Week 1/Day 3-Fri

Used the university gym since I had to run up there and get some paperwork and a book. It's a pain in the ass though since it's an hour to an hour and a half of driving time depending on traffic.

AM
A1)F squat:185X10, 225X5, 275X2, 295X1, 305X1, 310X1 <--PR, 315XF
A2)hammer curl:40X10X2, 30X12X2, 25X15X3
*Nice...I'll take a PR on front squat without having worked any heavy front or back squats in awhile. I assume that working with the OH squats and zerchers has helped.

B)Push press:155X5, 185X2, 205X1, 215X1, 225X1, 230X1, <--PR, 235XF

C1)cable row:180X8X3
C2)cable fly:5th settingX15X3
D)sweating out Mickeys from the night before.

PM
Lots of hammer drills, lots of weight for distance footwork drills, 55# db for height throwsX8

B)bench:225X8, 245X4, 265X2, 285X1, 295X1, 305X1, <---PR 310XF
*I'm not sure if I'm surprised or not to have a 5lb increase in bench without benching even though I've been doing a lot of push presses and db bench. The 305 was very hard at mid point (of course) and I thought I was going to blow my head off from straining and holding my breath..it felt like it took forever but lockout was a cinch. 310 just wasn't happening at all.

Week 5/Day 1-Mon
Due to slowness at work because of 4th of July holiday got to escape to work out with a couple of the throwers. What I've noticed is they don't have a lot of rhyme or reason for their workouts. It was a Jonathan turning to Paul and asking, "So...what do you want to do today?"

Week 5/Day 2-Tues

Wasn't planning on throwing today but Todd called and said everyone decided at the last minute to meet early since everyone was off from work today and had plans for tonight.

A)Open stone:5 throws; best=27'4" <--not sure if I want to glide or spin

B)56# distance:5 throws; best=16'10" <--fantastic! Just when I was pissed about not progressing

C)caber:4 tosses; best=~1ish o'clock ...ended up cracking a caber

D)56# height:3 throws; best=~8.5'....Clint snapped off the handle thus concluding our weight for height. My technique is really starting to pick up now.
 
Week 5/Day 3-Weds
Lower back was feeling stiff today and achy.
A)PS[1]+OH squat/press:135X10/10X2
---lower back really started to feel out of synch around hips, so I quit with the squatting and played with some higher rep stuff mostly upperbody stuff. I really think the GMs hit me hard.

B1)NG pullups:BWX13, 13, 12
B2)1 arm db shoulder press:70X15, 13, 12 (EA)

C)rev grip power curl+press:100X12X2

D1)rev hypers:no weightX20X2
D2)double crunch:no weightX20X2
D3)push ups:BWX30X2

The rev hypers were done off the arm rest of my couch. I had heard these are great for lower back when it feels tweaked...oh wow...my lower back feels fantastic now.
 
Week 5/Day 4-Fri

I'm not a fan of semi-early morning workouts for myself but seeing as how I'm going to be busy tonight, you do what you have to do.

B)C&J:185X2, 195X1, 205X1, 185X1

E3)"caber" curl:120X12X2
E4)rope tricep ext:120X12X2

Thanks. :) It's okay. I understand...I go through my busy times also. Can't wait 'til you get some spare time.;)
 
Week 6/Day 1-Mon
It was raining outside, so I couldn't get any weights work done. Soooo...I decided to play with some BW (bodyweight) stuff

A1)burpees:BWX10X3
A2)NG pull ups:BWX13X3

B1)HSPUs (hand stand pushups):BWX10X2, BWX9
B2)Single leg squat:BWX10X3 each leg

C1)Dog chins:BWX15X2
C2)GHRs:BWX10X2
C3)push ups:BWX40X2
C4)rev crunches:BWX12X2

....this was heart pounding and near puking.
 
Week 6/Day 2-Tues
Ran through all events with 3 throws each
A)Braemar:best=27' flat <---fantastic. On the verge of breaking that freak PR I had.

B)Open stone:best=28'1" <--teh suck

C)56#Dist:best=16'4" <--Not as good as last time but as long as I keep above 15' I'm cool for the time being.

D)28#dist:best=36'3" <--very very nice

E)hammer:best=61'4" <--As my technique gets better and I'm developing better hip and knee synchronization I'm finding that I'm going to have to start using tacky because grip is getting to be an issue and hammer is flying out of my hands or I'm throwing myself off balance. Need to get some blade boots or make some anyway.

F)caber:best=some degree, not sure. I moved up to the next size caber and poping it up wasn't a problem and even got it steady but I had a problem with not letting it get out in front of me.

G)Sheaf:best=well, all were over 18'

H)56#height:=not sure but all got a bit over 8'. I'm hoping to hit 9' feet by Tulsa but I need to at least keep at 8' so I don't come in last on this event at the Games.

Overall not a bad practice. In fact, I'd call this one a very good one.
