Week 5 and 63/30/2020 Coronavirus has honestly really help me out these 2 weeks working out and throwing, I've had a lot more time than I usually do lift and throw. I have successfully worked out every single one of my pre-planned days but still not thrown as much as I would like to. I felt myself getting a lot stronger and honestly throwing better as that goes on.
My lifting has been very successful overall, I focused on explosive lifts such as speed deadlifts cleans and explosive bench presses. I hit a new deadlift PR which was 315 lb for 10 reps, Which was after I did it for 8 reps (also a PR). My lunch is a little less than where I wanted to be but it's never too late to fix that because as I said I will have months upon months to get stronger so no worries here. I did clean to front squats for the first time, they went very well but were indeed very hard, it's a good thing when you're working out though, I enjoy the burn and knowing that I'm going to get better after I do this. In the time that I had to throw I had a very very successful I'm doing it, my phone is making huge improvements and my speed is at the same rate I threw a discus 169 ft and that is a 30 ft PR for me. On that throw, I did a great job of keeping my foot turning in the middle the whole time but there's always room for improvement. This might sound a little bit stupid but I feel as though that I am looking more like an official thrower and rather not a beginner in my form. Everything is starting to look and feel more fluid and smooth in the ring. I'm going to try my hardest this next week and the weeks to follow to throw every day and if not every day every other day, I think this would greatly increase my form and performance in the ring by building stamina and also making me more comfortable in the ring.

It's interesting to see how this is one of those projects that has "benefited" from the virus. I know you're not in season anymore, but that clearly doesn't mean you can't keep working, and I'm glad to see that that's what you're doing.
