Week 23/8/2020 This week was a successful one, although the workouts were spotty due to school and vacations. I’ve learned new things in my form and I’ve practiced much more over the week than I have this season. This week I worked out 1 time but that will change next week, I worked our arms and legs. My legs are getting strengthened again and my arms are continuing to get stronger. I’ve noticed that my left arm is smaller than my right arm and that is because I throw right handed, and without lifting that causes an imbalance which is not good. I’m working to build up my left arm and forearm so that I can get more strength and definition. In my legs I am mostly focusing on quadriceps and gluteal muscles, I don’t have the equipment for hamstrings but I am working to think of a way that I can activate them and grow them with my quads. Calves can be worked my doing leg work and that will grow them. In my throwing news, I worked a lot this week with discus, I’m making big progressions in both forms (they are basically the same thing). I’m working to get a bigger push from the back of the circle to the center in my initial turn, this generates more speed which generates bigger throws. I’m also working on staying balanced in my reverse so that I can stay in the circle with ease. I’ve had a problem since last year of watching the disc and shot and not rotating through which caused me to fall out and that is less of a problem now which is good considering the length of my throws. I hit huge throws this week in discus and I hit 50 in shot in the cold. This is a good distant for practice but as always, there is more work to be done. I will try to work out more this week and to keep practicing as I did last week. Hard work is the only thing in this sport that can get you what you want, so you have to go out and get it.
