Offseason summer training, working out some kinks, fixing some weaknesses, getting ready for our fall training cycle which begins in late August when I get to campus. I’ll be squatting 2x week, at the beginning of two pressing workouts. The squats will be to fix some technique issues, no serious weight or volume. There will be a day in between the two squat days working on olympic lifting technique and some back work.

Throws training: July 4th, 2015.
After taking two full/agonizing/painful/months away from the circle, I finally chalked up today and got it in some throws.
I’m basically going to be starting from scratch in shot/disc. Today was a step in the right direction.
Started with 6lb powerball stands into a net.
5 throws.
Moved on to stands with the 2k disc.
5 throws.
Decided to go ahead and toss the shot a few times, but I’m operating on 7 hours of sleep over the past 3 days and fatigue had definitely begun to set in.
3 throws-comp weight.
2 throws-underweight.
Going to get in some drills tonight then enjoy the fireworks! Happy 4th everyone!
Week 3, day 1
It was really nice out today, so I decided to get some throws in and ended up taking way longer than I meant to.
Ended up doing 3x3 then 8x2, all with the 2k. Plan moving forward is to set up training in a similar format, using the first sets to establish an average distance then put markers at 95% and 85% and do some range throwing to work on technique. After that I went to the gym but had to cut training short because my gym closes really early on the weekends.

No sooner than I reracked it did I get the uncontrollable urge to puke…
And puke I did. And when I say puke, what I really mean is projectile vomit.
I made it to the bathroom, but that’s where the good news ends. I couldn’t make it to the toilet so instead of the floor, I chose the shower. My apologies to the anytime fitness worker who had to deal with that. Thank God this happened on my trip and not at my regular gym. But yeah, squats feeling quick these days.
Missed a couple days this week because I was at orientation. It lasted from 8 in the morning to 8 at night. Not a big deal. Plan now is to go in tonight and hit up some over head press, a ton of rows, some cg bench, and some accessories.
