Trying to get back on a regular schedule now that my ankle seems to be doing pretty well on it's own. Monday is typically upper and braemar since it's late in the day when I get off work. Today is Memorial day, so I have the day off, and more time to train. I'm working on scheduling plyos 2x per week for both upper and lower so today and Thursday will be upper plyo day and Tomorrow/Friday will be lower. The research shows that 48-72 hours is best between plyo days so that should be good and I plan on rotating the exercises in 3 week waves.
Throws:
26# Braemar
This thing is always a beast and when I haven't thrown it for a while, it's like the HW. It really takes it out of you. It tucks well and throws good, it's just so heavy that it really takes some work to get it moving. I took 20 throws in sets of 5 more like a workout than anything else. Managed around 35' which is where I usually start with this thing at the beginning of the season. My best ever was right around 40 towards the end of the season after all the reps with it started to catch up.
15# OS
My stone is slightly lighter, I tell myself this is because I want to work on the speed...but it's also because I'm too lazy to go find another one, and I like how it tucks.
Took about 9 throws working on the finish with a good block and confident reverse. Managed 48', not great but first time throwing on grass since the injury and my mind is still not into it.
Training:
Bench Bar Throws
65# x3 - 45# x3
Trying to minimize the time between the 65# throw and the 45# throw to work the CNS. Worked through this 5x for 30 touches
Bench
3 week
275x3
315x3
345x8
Snatch
80% x3x5
120kg Hole 6
Band Pull aparts
Light x15 between each set of bench
Landmine
Arcs/Presses
45x10x5
Pullups
x5x4
Not a bad day, was working hard throughout and the plyos felt good. I'd like to push the touches per day into the 100s as my body gets accustomed to the more aggressive movements. I'll try to use 2-3 exercises per day, but I'm working into it.
