Home games time! Last weekend was Prescott Highland Games. Generally I was pleased and had a few bests:

HWD: 22'5"
LWD: 36'11"
HH: 53'9"
LH: 60'4"
WOB: 12'
OS: 24'11"
BS: 21'7"

Awesome! I threw with Sean at the Phoenix games this year. He's a monster, and a heck of a nice guy, too. My wife and I spent quite a bit of time chatting with Sean and his wife at our final event...

Can you clarify "stepping off in the weights with your left foot..."? I probably need to put the two videos side by side to see it. I can tell that I'm hitting the trig completely closed down. Is...

I'm guessing there were thoughts of my demise, but I am still out here and trying to throw stuff without looking like a complete idiot. I did the Vegas games a few weeks back and had several PRs. I...

Agreed. I usually average 10 minutes of bummed-ness for every hour of "happy with the fact that I'm out there throwing."

One very helpful thing from the PHX games is that they had a photog out...

Yep, I know them well. I actually started a local club at the end of last year so I'd have someone else to throw stuff with. We have anywhere from 6-12 people every Sunday and we will be getting a...

First games of the season in the books. As expected, I was DFL in Masters 40+. I really don't care about where I finish. I'm the smallest guy on the field, and there were a lot of very talented...

Just raising up my head to confirm that I still draw breath... Not a lot of throwing in the past couple of weeks. The Phoenix games are this weekend. A few of us did a handful of throws Saturday. ...

Attempted a couple of tweaks of the form. I did try to tighten up foot position and to add another swing. I also noticed from my first vid that the low point of my swing started in front of me and...

I took last week off due to a cold and having family in town...

Yesterday was the same starting point, followed by 4 rounds of:

400M run
10 front squat
10 clapping pushups
10 broad jumps...

Would it make sense to start WFD with a lighter weight to help isolate my footwork? I know the softball drills and have done some, but would like to help a lighter implement?

I bough some 3m...

Same strength stuff, same numbers. This was the second half... 3 rounds of:

3 laps of the yard with a loaded prowler (135# total weight)
15 OH squats, PVC
15 push press, 110#
15 ring rows
15...

Normal day yesterday. Added 5 pounds to db rows and Arnold press. Went down a few swings on the kb (feeling tired, I guess). Second phase was 5 rounds of:

250 row sprint
5 back squat
5...

Thanks for the tips. I'll attempt to apply them on Saturday.

In more exciting news... In December I started a throwing club in my town (as apparently no one else was going to do it). I have...

Same Easy Stremfph. Conditioning/variable was 4 rounds of

150 jump rope spins
10 front squat
10 clapping pushups
10 Russian twists.

I also managed to get some throwing in. I did a few...

Did the same Easy Stremfp workout, same weights. Conditioning was 3 rounds of this:

3 laps Prowler (loaded with 90#, about 80M/lap)
15 overhead squats (I just used PVC)
15 pushups
15 situps...

Nothing throwing related yet. I could not find any snap clips for my ballistica, so that limits me from doing too much. Hopefully will throw some kettlebells Saturday. Did the same starting...

Roger that... For now, it's going to be "lift more, throw some" until I have the kinks worked out of the ol' spinal column. First competition is Phoenix at the end of March, so I do need to get on...

Since there did not seem to be anyone in my area who was throwing, I decided to start a throwing club myself. Thankfully I've convinced a few folks that throwing heavy stuff up and around could...

I've decided I need to start putting stuff out in public to keep myself on track. A little background... I'm 44, have thrown in 3 games before this year (twice in Flagstaff and once in Tucson). ...

Hi all,

Apologies is this is in the wrong place, or other things...

We have started a new club in Central AZ dedicated to Scottish Athletics. The Prescott Highland Hammerheads convened their...

Sorry for the late notice, but I thought it might make sense to put a thread up here...

There will be an Athletics clinic tomorrow, Saturday 2/8 in Prescott, AZ. Some of our friends from the...

My official photographer (wife) has been slacking since Tucson. I do have photos from there, and some video from Havasu which I will try to post later this week.

I do miss this. I used to live in Alexandria (for a couple of years in Hunting Towers, in the building they tore down to build the new bridge, and then by Ft. Belvoir). The Walk was always nice. ...

I wore my new 5.11 kilts a few times last month. At the Tucson games, I threw in my Multicam, and I shot the Lake Havasu USPSA match in my OD Green. Great stuff.
