Notes:
* Day before first day of school, kid doesn't have childcare, so I took the day off work and wanted to get in all my training so it's off my plates.
* Went to bed with my knee swollen to the point of agony and immobility, woke up with it loose and feeling normal.
* Felt a small pop in my left forearm/bicep on the third round of bearhug carries, as I was sweaty and the keg was slipping. As you can see from the keg loading and burpee chins, it wasn't a big deal, but it's becoming a frequent annoyance.
* Friction was turned up on the pavement today. Much harder to move the prowler. Showed up on some of the time.
* Focused on moving quick on the burpee chins and got the first 20 in 2 minutes, but faded after that.
* On the ABCs, caught myself really cheating on the first clean, even moreso than usual. Going to make a point that my thumbs have to touch my shoulders for it to count.
* That keg loading at the end continues to be the real moneymaker. I should honestly just make a workout of that sometime. Might be my next "go for an hour" stupidity.
PM WORKOUT
Mowed the lawn w/80lb vest on and got in that Tabata prisoner squat/push up workout I've been doing recently.
Hey Emevas, do you have any advice for getting throwing events down? Just a matter of continuing to practice or were there any realizations you had in particular that allowed you to have success in throwing events?
ReplyDeleteHey man, I'm honestly not super great at them. I was at a Bill Kazmaier seminar and asked him, since he was like me and came into the sport more with a statically strong background, and his advice was to show up strong and send it, basically. Could do worse. I practiced by throwing a 45lb kettlebell over a rope climbing crossbar that was at a local fitness trail, but it's really just a question of learning how to relax until you need to tighten up and then exploding. Having a background in martial arts probably helped in that regard.
DeleteThanks Emevas!
