Stone / Upper?

I have been looking forward to this session for a while. I like to throw the heavier open stone that I have as I feel like I have more connection during the throw and also know the need for building specific strength is very high right now. It didn't help that it was still in the mid 90s at 7:30 and I felt it.

Warm up
Bike
Hip Swings
Quad stretches
Glute activation
Throga

Stone:
Took 30 total reps trying to be right around 45' with the 18 for 20 reps (I think I hit around 8 of them at 45+) and 10 reps with the 15 all 45+. I tried to emphasize a long loose R leg, preturning the R foot, and getting the L down quickly. Seemed to stay loose but definitely started to fatigue pretty quickly.

Training:
Clean up to 150kg x2x4

Jump Squat 225x3x5

OHP 135x8x5 working on compensatory acceleration and really driving into the weight

Landmine
Arcs and presses

Tough day. Really hot in the garage and I had trouble keeping hydrated even after 60oz of fluids before and during training. I felt good with the stone, but really feeling the lack of repetition up to this point. I'm really trying to push the volume with the heavier implements.
