That’s it. Not much volume. Tonight, throwing and hopefully some swim time.
Great bench, squats and deads. You really do make it look so easy.
Back to the front my friend! We are missing you. Hope you did up Mother’s Day right
Looks like enough volume to me.
Belated congrats on the second Gold duo. I’m out of superlatives.
Thanks for draggin me back in Wilson. A brief recap of my past few days.

5/9 - Morning throws, followed by swim, followed by sheer glutony at brothers farm for Mother’s Day
5/10 - Work, Legs/back, getting ready to eat and crash. Sorry for not keepin up on everyone.
Really inspiring Harry. You better broaden your throwing horizons with all that bling round your neck. National/International stuff coming up?
Thanks for all the volunteer work. It makes a difference.
Good job on the throwin heavy stuff far. How do you get such big squat numbers on legs that skinny? Or maybe it was the camera angle…
OP, The Alabama Senior Olympics are a qualifier for the Nationals next year in Houston. The really big fish will be there. My next meets will be covering a larger area and a lot higher calipher of thrower will be at them.
Story of my life us42. My legs get totally ripped and get stronger but never seem to get bigger. Even when I gain weight my legs stay the same. When I squat I feel it mainly in the hips though.
Hope all is well and the throws are going further and further. How did you ever fit kids in that schedule? You’re busy as hell.
Youz a busy cat Harry. Thanks for checking in and tiring me out!
Awesome stuff old man, heading to see Jimmy T a week from Friday. Good luck to ya.
Give Jimmy our love, brother Barry, and take a little for yourself, too.
Steve, I was in the military while my boys grew up. One of the few regrets I have about my military service is how much time I missed of their growing up. That they turned out good is entirely the fault of the wife. I tried my best to spoil hell out of them when I was home.
Threw shot tonight. Working on a new/old approach. Not 5/3/1 so yawl try to stay with me here. Carl will know what I’m talking about.
If you can throw a 16# shot put 45’ you should be able to throw an 8# 90’, yes? No, you can’t. Your arm isn’t conditioned to move that fast. I’m not getting the “spread” I should in different weights. Rule of thumb is +2’ per pound the lighter the shot gets. I can throw a 16# 38’ standing and a 13.2 around 40. Based on the 2’ pp rule of thumb I should be able to stand throw around 43.5’ with the the 13.2. My arm ain’t moving fast enough. What to do? The obvious answer is to get stronger. Working under the assumption that I’m strong enough I need to teach the arm to move faster. Enter light weight throwing. I starting my throws with a 4k shot, then a 5k, finally the 6k. Today, after 10 standing throws each with the 4 & 5K shots I hit a standing 42’ with the 6k. Damn East Germans were smart. Going to keep on this method and see what I can get. I must say a lot of throwers don’t subscribe to this method.
Well, if you made it through all that, thanks. If not, I forgive you. Weights tomorrow. Rodeos this Sat so some more to do on that.

Yeah. Even my dumb ass managed to follow along. And it looks like a good plan. Especially if it is working…
