    I'm doing the same thing Alan, using a 20lb and a 40lb weight for practice rather than the full weight implements. The lighter weight lets me get more reps in without wearing out, and it helps me work on speed and footwork, rather than having to muscle the weight.

    It's working, though I still have a lot of problems getting the double spin down. As good as I was in Prescott is how bad I was at the USS Games the next week. I need lots more practice.

    It's funny....last night I was "on"...Not *great*, but "on". Everything more or less went pretty well and I got some pointers on WOB from Steve who I work out with. He's the best Master at WOB using the traditional technique, clearing 14' 6" and even 15" with that style. My hammer throws were all 75+ footers, most around 77-78, and my 20 pound WFD's were mostly all in the 45 foot range. All this is good.

    But Tuesday at lunch when I got out for about 75 minutes, everything went slow, everything felt heavy, and I really ached for the rest of the afternoon. I couldn't do anything right. sheesh

    I'm also doing stones with a 11 pound rock right now, and going slowly. I'm thinking about Your "smack the rat bastiche behind you with your elbow" and it's helping me open up, which is good. I'm off balance a bit and flinging myself all over the place at the finish 'cause I don't know what to do with the elbow at the end, but so it goes...make a change, adjust...get better.
