Woke to thunder and lightning around 0500. Weather eased off enough to get a 1500m swim in. Temp was in the low 80’s and river running a little high and fast. Going out the first half was quick and easy but then had to come back slow and hard. [/quote]
Wow, that beats the hell out of swimming in pool. Do you live close to the river?[/quote]
He lives ten miles away and flips a tractor tyre all the way there and carries it back!

That’s it. Had to be somewhere last night, had to work late. Had to cut my workout short. [/quote]
I wish I could have a ‘quick’ workout like that.
As always your gym numbers are great. But more impressive to me is that you swim a mile an act like its nothing. It would take me a month to swim that far.
Wiex, back of my property runs right down to the river. Come winter time I go to the local indoor pool but much prefer outdoors.
Farmer, It’s uphill both ways and I throw the tire back!
Keep at it John, you’ll get better.
Steve, swimming’s as much for the brain as body. Get out there in the middle of the river all alone and the water just washes all the bad shit in you away.

Off to work
Do you do standing throws (braemar) with the 20#? Do you glide or spin on the stone? Just curious. I never mastered the spin for shot/stone, even though I was always better at discus back when I was doing field athletics…
I just have a spring into wetlands at the back of my place. It flooded up good this year, covered the back 20 acres. Still too shallow to swim in though. Wading through the muck is good workout, but one I don’t have the wind for right now.
corrmahoma, with the 20# I do a modified South African. I’ve got a 24# for practicing braemar and a 16# that I do full rotational with. Last couple of years, cause of lack of practice, I’ve ended up scooting. Think this pix (if it comes out) from my photos was 2 years back. When throwing the shot, I’m a spinner.

Oh that’s clever for the caber. I remember going out and practicing pops in the snow all winter to avoid getting out of practice and that would have been so much better.
Your Mum loves you…

First off, really impressive work, Hel. But more importantly, that food… I had to google both Jaggershnitzel and Spaetzel. Holy cow, that grub sounds delicious as all heaven. If I send you some dry ice and shipping expenses, could you send me some of that!
You’ve got to get you’re own German mom if you wanna eat like that Wiex.

standing calve raises
some x a bunch
Good night. Love working out with these two. Same guys I practice HGs with. Both A’s and I can’t remember a game I’ve been in that they haven’t been in. We went straight from the gym to Kalidescopes, ice cream place. Call it carb loading or something.
My mother in-law is English and her “exotic” cooking is bland burritos… That’s the best I got. Fortunately, my father in-law likes to stock a lot of beer, which makes everything taste better.
Tree sounds like a pretty small guy.

Great lifting Hel, Wiex my mom was English as well and you should at least have gotten a nice roast beef dinner with roasted potatoes, yorkshire pudding and colemans mustard!

Thats damnd strong lifting Harry, I hope I’m growing up to be you.
Harry,
Are you doing all of these lifts explosively? I remember an old video of you benching some serious weight and it moved so fast it just looked like the bar was empty.
gotta change your avi to the one of you throwing…pretty awesome
Thanks Joe, you’re on the fast track to pass me up.
Scotto, I try to do all my major lifts explosively. Slow don’t throw far (f=ma). Of course, once you get up to your max, explosive is a relative matter.
Thanks Matty, might have to do that. Had this one for a while.
Last night, managed to get some throws in before dark and then a nice short swim.

Normally, I would totally agree Matty, except I like the current one. It looks like William Wallace’s body guard is walking towards you with some medieval head smashing device. That’s pretty damn hard to beat!
