Now that there a few upcoming games on the horizon, it's time to shift from off-season to in-season training. Lift lighter and quicker, throw more.

Stones (15.5 lbs)
3x warm ups
3 officials - 32'5" best

Gurley Mon Hammer (12lbs)
3x warms up with 10lbs
3x officals - 88'7" best

Stones were better than I thought they'd be after the winter. I guess all the imitation I did over the over season paid off. Technique was much better.

The hammers just sucked. Normally I put the 14lb Viking Hammer of Speed out to 95' or so. The 12lb only going out to 88'+ is a bit disappointing. Definitely a technique issue as I felt like I swinging a baseball bat on the release rather than pulling up over my head. I see more hammer winds in my future.
