That one’s pretty good. I’ll be sure to use it at work.
kmc, I’m pretty pith off, I mean pissed off, that I’m benching what I squat.
Poured raining during and after work yesterday. Same predicted for today so got out real early and got a quick swim in.
355x4 on bench!
I’m just going to go isce my shouder in sympathy now.
355 x 4! Holy Shit buddy, nice! (read- “three fifthee five for four”)- thorry, had to thtick that in there, thilly!
Here’s the deal… you come up here to Canada land, I will grow a beard, we will enter the comps as one person, you do the bench portion, I will do the deads and we will split the squat duties!
Working out afterwork with some spotters makes a whole lot of difference on the bench, bunny. Can go for it instead of getting stuck and doing the dead bug.

Different combination for me. Raining so damn hard not getting any throwing in the past couple of days so getting the lifts in while I can.
Thats some strong training Hel. Maybe the weather will break for us all soon. So much for the drought in the South!!
BTW: for a guy that couldnt squat this time last year, that’s some damn strong squatting.
Thanks JW. Damn limiter on the squats is still my position under the bar. Can’t get the damn elbows down or what I feel is the weights low enough on the back.

Big Bar-b-que all day, and night, with my wife’s Philippine-American Society. Cooking up a couple of pigs and all kinds of good eating. I’ll head over there after work for some real good carb loading when I get off work. It’s being held at the Tennessee River so I can get a swim in, too. Everyone have a good weekend.

Was this with or sans hat? Either way, nice work!
Thanks Steely. Bare headed, hat would have added 20 pounds. Really been concentrating on form and finally starting to get a good arch going and my shoulders pulled in.
Ate pig like a pig yesterday. Good food. Was going to get some swimming in at the lake where the bar-b-que was but settled for just laying in the water like a beached whale. Woke up this morning still feeling full. Headed straight for the river and got in a really good swim. Went from swimming straight to throwing.

56# for height - 10
hammer - 10
Well ole PT Barnum was right. One of my sister-in-laws is opening up a new eatery downtown. Going to be a coffeehouse type thing. Coffee, tea, saucers for your cups, pinky stuck out, little sandwiches, soups, bean sprouts, etc. Anyway, wife says let’s see it before it opens. Get there, half the family’s there, Brother Josh slaps a brush in my hand, “You got the trim in the front room, petit frere”. At least I got plenty of coffee out of it.

yep - there’s a sucker born every minute - you walked into that one, bro!
Hmmm… think the wife set you up perhaps? That is something mine would do, lol!
Really looking forward to the gathering this Saturday. First one in 2 years, bunch of young bulls to competed against, good possibility of getting my ass handed to me, I’m ready.
All speed work, nothing really heavy before the meet.

Good luck in your meet this weekend, Hel!
For some reason I dont think you will have your ass handed to you. I can’t wait to hear the results
you should take the discuss on your route with you. you should be able to hit a dog at 50 feet…
It really cool you’re getting out there and competing. Hope you hit some distance PRs. What kind of distances have you thrown in the past?
Hel you are going to kill it this weekend.
learn up those young bucks.

Thanks all for the well wishs. Last practice, pix courtesy of my wife who thinks her hubby wearing a “skirt” is just the funniest thing there is. Farmer’s tans are in I hear. Please do note the blue Air Force pattern though.
Eco, 2 of the events I haven’t registered distances for because I threw the master’s weight.
42# WFD (weight for distance) 40’2" and the 42# WOB (weight over bar) 14’0". I’ll be throwing the 56# in those 2 this weekend.
Other numbers:
16# Open stone (you can move) 37’6
22# Braemar Stone (can’t move feet) 29’4"
28# WFD 54’7"
16# Hammer 89’
22# Hammer 75’6"
16# Sheaf 18’3" (This truly sucks)
Caber - not a distance event
I’ve got a lot of room to improve in some of these areas. Plan on devoting more of my time to training for this in the future,
Best of luck, hel. Looking forward to the report.
I’ve always said that only real men can wear kilts or pink shirts and get away with it. I think you’ve got it covered.
Hel - how does one get started in throwing heavy stuff?
I was looking at some WFD vids yesterday. That looks intense. You gotta weigh 220 just to keep the weight under control through the spins. For me it’d be a question of which end of the system was going to get thrown…
And I gotta say - not many guys can carry off wearing a skirt, but you…
