Throwin' for MacLeods.
This monday I officially started weight training for next years games.
I WILL participate in at least 2 games in my area (and more if I can find out where and how much)
I've always been a bigger guy, but never put my weight to good use for me. At the moment I am 225 lbs at 5' 9.5". I use to powerlift in high school, but the past doesn't get me big just by remembering.
At the present moment I am doing mostly circuit training with emphasis and muscular endurance while still pushing for strength. My favorite move is what I call Caber Picks (I'm sure there is a real name). I hold plates with my hands interlocked and "clean" following up with the weight directly over head, the same general movement of tossing a caber without actually letting go of anything.
I know alot of lifting moves but not neccesarily thrower specific exersizes.
hopefully being public with my goals and logging them will keep me on track, feel free to "light fires" if I start to slack.
Thank you in advance for any insight and/or corrections (should there be something I could do better), photos and my detailed training log to follow.

Just took a stab at open stone put with a 15.6# stone, to see where I am starting from before heavy lifting, and I put 24.5'... i gotta ways to go.
