Sunday Funday

Today was a crazy day. I took yesterday off as I was still pretty beat up and want to come into the next 2 weeks before Utah and Chicago fresh and confident. I spent most of the day outside doing lawn work, mowing, mulching, edging, flower bedding, etc. and was pretty tired going into the training session.

Warm-up
Bike x8 minutes
Hip swings, circles, and lifts
45 degree bounding

Throws:
HWFD
6 one turns, best of right around 37'
6 full throws, right at 40'
Just trying to get the groove back. I was working pretty hard for that 40' throw, but haven't thrown the 56 since my ankle injury. I have a love/hate relationship with the 56 because when it's going good; it will really get out there, but when it's going bad; it just buries me and nothing I can do will dig me out of that hole except to shut it down for the day. I know that the more I throw it, the stronger it gets (weird...something about specificity?) but it's frustrating to not have the distance I want right now.

Training:
Got a trap bar, a Walmart special. Nothing fancy, just a hexagon with thick welds and 70$ out of my pocket. It has short collars but fits 100# plates just as well as 45s so I should be able to load it up.

I got it up to 430 for 10, 8, 6 with 20 shrugs at the end of each. I'm trying to keep up with my long distance training partner in her shrug game so Team Boom can, at the very least, be known for the best traps.
