Week 115/10/2020 This week I did a lot of focusing on strength instead of throwing, although I got good amounts of practice in both. I’ve been spending a lot of time and working on doing exercises other than heavy lifting, I’ve been doing pushups, curl-ups, and jumping rope to gain speed and explosiveness, when I go to the gym we focus on lighter lifting with better form, that does not say that the workouts are easier because we do hard exercises for a lot of reps. Like for instance, we did some curl, press, and skull crusher all consecutively for 10 reps each arm and then 10 reps for both, he also added a twist which made us keep our feet off the ground while we were doing it. There’s a lot more that I could say about the kinds of things that we do but that would take a long time, but I will say that his workouts are nothing like I have done before and I like that because I fell that I am already benefiting from it. I do the pushups, curl-ups, and jump rope every day along with some running so that even when I’m not in the gym, I am still gaining. In this week’s news on throwing, I had some time to practice and it went relatively well. I’ve been traveling so that put a dent in my ability to throw as much as I would like but I am still finding a way. At the place I stay at on the beach there is a park where I like to throw, I threw a 157-foot discus there which is not too great but it’s good considering the circumstances. I also had the chance today to throw some shot and discus, I threw shot on the beach which helps me with foot speed and control, I threw about 47 feet uphill so, in the end, they were some darn good throws. I’m still looking to increase my speed and be stronger while throwing the shot, I feel like I’m falling away from the show when I throw it which is greatly reducing my distance. Overall a great week and I am ready for another week of training.
