Crap day

I will say I was having an absolute wonderful day. Work was nice, I made good money and no one pissed me off.

Since it had stopped raining Chuck and I went to throw.

Did 4 sheaf tosses, I think I am getting this figured out

5 open stone, nothing great here. Did 3 braemer style and 2 spin.

3 HWFD got 2 over 20' so it is coming back, managed to take a spill on one of the tosses and this screwed my hip up

4 LWFD these were ok, I had one that I think would have been over 50' but I held on to it too long.

3 hammer and then I just said fuck it, I hate the hammer I suck so bad at it.

So on the way home, I was like maybe I should deload or should I? Turns out I needed to deload, trying to lift after throwing just doesn't work for me.

Deadlift
245 x 3
295 x 3
375 x 3

145 x 1
155 x 1

KB snatches
96 x 7 right arm PR

I think it was actually a good idea to do this, helped looses me up and made me feel a little better.

Jesse

Chuck and I went and threw first at 930 am.
We did about 6-8 throws on the open stone, I sucked at this but I think I am figuring out the spin.
5 throws with the HWFD I haven't done this in about a month and it showed, gotta get my footwork figured out again.
6-8 throws with the LWFD best of 47' again footwork is off.
LH best of 75' I still can't figure out the multiple spin technique
Sheaf 20# got a couple good tosses in, my last one was probably the best of all of them.

Then we came back and did some strongman training. Knee is getting a lot better but I still avoided leg drive on pressing.
