Hammer / OS

Had the little one all day as she was sick, so we didn't do much but sit around. I was able to get some stone work in while she was napping. I have been so focused on the entry and setting things up that I have lost the block and strike action. So I really tried to zero in on just getting to the front on balance at all points and getting a nice smooth block. Felt pretty good, took some video and it looks good. I need to keep the L arm more level and keep rotating through the throw. I felt like I could get a good push on it. Kept the reps down with the lighter stone. I'll hit the heavy open stone over the weekend as regularly planned. I would like to get an extra stone workout in during the week as it is still one of my weaker events.

In the evening I was able to get some hammer work in.

Hammer:
22#
10 warm ups dumping to the R trying to stay long and loose
10 Easy throws. Worked on staying long and getting a nice snappy block/release. I played with an extra wind here to accelerate more gradually which seemed ok but was hard to stay balanced compared to the more dynamic start
15 full throws. Felt good here, the extra wind helped and I was able to get a few out to 113-114 before I got too fatigued to keep the balance and rhythm.

Training:
Pretty tired by this point, long day, long nights with the sick kid.

Clean pulls to hole 8
150x3x5

Squat
405+40# chain x2x5

KB Jumps
70# x3x5

Core was taken care of with the extra hammer volume and I didn't want to push anything too hard as I was pretty gassed by this point. Good day overall, got some good work in.
