Well, there's lifting shape and there's throwing shape. I have work to do on the latter. A lot of work.

Last Thursday, anticipating a Friday throw session with my son, I took a spontaneous rest and recovery day. Friday I felt really good and we had a lengthy wfd session with the 28. Footwork was all over the place; felt like I was in slow motion; no boing in my legs, etc., etc., etc. Bottom line is that I need many reps before Woodland about a month from now. After about two dozen throws I was really feeling it.

Saturday I had planned on a squat session but after warming up it was clear that my legs were having none of it. Pivoted to moderate weight, high rep stuff to loosen everything up. Finished off with some deads for the first time in a long while. Light weight, just doing a form check basically. Did a few from the floor but I'm not comfortable pulling from the floor. Thus, I raised the bar by putting a plate on the floor under each wheel. That extra height was just what I needed and it's got me thinking that deads are going to return to the rotation.
