To me, and this is just me....Queen Mary is kind of an anomaly. If I were in So Cal, I'd do it and I'd practice 4-6x before the Games so I didn't embarrass myself, but I would probably aim for Las Vegas or Ardenwood (up here) to kick off my real season.

So the season would end with Ventura in October...or maybe Tucson, first weekend in November, and wouldn't start again until mid-April.

Nov- Dec-Jan-Feb-March ... five months of "off season" to train the weights.

Nov-Dec, first half of January....ten weeks, maybe a little bit more- Lift big. Get that 315 flat bench. Do what makes you happy, but lift big! Score some PR's

Second half of January to end of February.... lift fast. Olympic lifts. Hang cleans and high pulls and dumbell snatches and stuff like that. Bench half of your 3x PR and THROW the bar. Seriously. FAST deadlifts. FAST squats where you come up on your toes for 8 x 3. Hungarian Core blasters. Try those modified Litvinov squat/sprint things. Go sprint 30 yards x 10. Stadium steps.... start throwing more at the beginning of March.

beginning of March to Las Vegas/Ardenwood (mid April).... lifting drops to 1 maybe 2x a week, you're throwing 2x a week for 2-3 hours a session. Drill, drill, drill for two weeks. Do 6 x 10 super long hammer winds every workout. It's HARD. First turn drills for the weights, single spin drills for the weights.. Do toeboard drills for stones. Do hip pop drills, standing throws. Last week in March and first week in April you start doing a lot more full-throws. Knock off 4 days before the first Games and go tear them up!

Well....that's MY plan!
