That is throwing.
When referring to "throwing" in training logs it is practicing to get better at the Highland Games.Of the pictures. I am the guy who looks like this. Because that is actually me.

oh yeah!! i like that flip the pole overmove! i watched evos' video a pile of times (the one where the lil kid was starvin)
when i get this 140.6 done i am comin foryou guys man. For me to be thick and strong is much more my body type than this constant battle to try and stay semi-light for endurance.
Ironman first! then............
maybe decathalon would be cool too.
What else do you do besides the pole flip? hahah ok, besides throwing

Tried Xfit's workout of the day. Here's how was supposed to go:
21 db squat snatch @ 45 lbs
42 pull ups
15 db squat snatch @ 45 lbs
30 pull ups
9 db squat snatch @ 45 lbs
18 pull ups
For time. Here's how it went:
21 db squat snatch @ 40 lbs
~35 pull ups
15 db squat snatch @ 45 lbs
~20 pull ups
9 db squat snatch @ 50 lbs
~18 pull ups
Time: 25 freakin minutes. And I didn't even do all the pullups. There were a lot of half reps, to be honest. I haven't learned the proper kip yet. Holy crap, I can see how this crap would be good for fighting.
Then I moved on to another exercise:
Dynamax med ball squat throws against wall. A 16 lb ball was used.
1 minute on
1 minute off
1 minute on
done
This was possibly the hardest workout I've done in a long time. I need to improve my fitness by a lot, apparently.

AM bjj session-
1.) Butterfly guard sweeps to side control
2.) Rolling
Thoughts:
1.) My no-gi game>gi game
2.) It's hard to critique yourself when you're tapping fools
3.) Need to tap more fools
4.) Keep tighter!
5.) easier for me to get good positions rolling no-gi. This means I need to understand the gi better!
6.) Position before submission

fyp? I roll with guys who tap me all the time. It's refreshing to give a little back to the more inexperienced guys
"Fixed your post."
Oh. I had gotten the impression it was the other way around. Never mind. Carry on...
Say, how much trouble do you think you'd get in if you fbk'd someone in a bjj match? Just... uh... curious.
fbk'ed? Dude, these abbreviations are killing me.
But they wouldn't take too kindly, to it, I suppose
Ummm, a butterfly kick with a running start? Flying butterfly kick? I may have made it up.
Like, a jumping spin roundhouse into a spinning hook kick in one movement. Dude gets "sucker kicked" in the face twice (and maybe even a right cross as you're coming down, if you're awesome) before you hit the ground. I wonder if there are any videos of this on youtube. The mental image is soo amusing. XD

PM bjj
1.) Triangles
2.) Some Z guard stuff to a sweep and side control.
3.) Drilling this Z guard
4.) Rolling
Thoughts:
1.) Play better open guard!!
2.) Stay tight to opponent
3.) ****ing Matt. He's like 50 lbs heavier than me and he kicks my ass.
4.) Work the side 4 corners hold. Work on switching up side control with this, and use that sneaky foot grab to get into mount.
Xfit today is 150 wall throws for time. I did wall throws yesterday because I'm a precog. I most likely did not do 150. But now I'm debating whether to suck it up and head to the gym to do this ****.
-edit-
Did todays xfit.
150 med ball wall throws with a 16 lb dynamax in 11 min 25 sec. This was infinitely easier than 1 min on, 1 min off balls to the wall. Ha, I made a pun.
Next time's goal will be under 9 min.

Well. I am putting workouts in here. So here is a workout.
What up Lei. Good to see you getting all hardcore.
1. Limbed, shaved, and tweaked a couple cabers.
2. D-Flex
3. Overhead Stone Heave - used the 14lb. This went well. Hit 50 a couple of times.
4. Cabering - So the caber we used is 22 feet long and about 130lbs. Of the 4 cabers I have used, this one is definitely the longest. Boy that makes a difference. It was a lot of work just to stand it up.
I dumped it a few times, had a couple of good picks. All in all I think this caber will be doable in the next month or so. Reason being -
We have cabers to practice with now, so we must be going to get better.
Thoughts -
Everything has been going pretty good. In my journal I talked about a neck tweak. That turned out good. Got some good massage work from the Burkett and everything is good to go now.
We are starting a "week in review" type of thing with everything that is going on at the gym. So here is a link to a video of stuff that happened in the past week.

bjj-
1.) Getting out of the ****y lock
2.) Drilled passing the half guard when opponent has said lock
3.) Rolled no gi
Thoughts-
1.) Nogi is way more fun than gi
2.) Use my legs, speed, and flexibility to keep hitting those triangles!
3.) Stuff the arm when spinning to the back.
4.) Double unders pass works well when set up with can opener
5.) Whoever reads my thoughts and training may be able to beat me since they know my game:11doh:

Thanks for the feedback on the video guys. We will have em out each week with stuff that has happened in the gym.
Hey, be nice or I will jump up and crush you.
I am hitting a bunch of workouts with Tex this week. Yesterday started things off pretty good.
1. Some training with the 132lb Inch and the 100lb Mega
2. Neck Attack - After having some neck issues, the neck training is back in the mix. 3 sets w/ green band.
3. Reverse Hypers - 3 sets 10 reps. 230lbs.
4. Squats - 4 sets of 5 at 415lbs.
Super-Set
5. Log Press - 4 sets of 5 at 166lbs.
Thoughts -
This was a really good day. We hit a fast and aggressive workout. I felt great at the end. The faster pace made the weights get pretty heavy. Kind of a getting in shape kind of thing.
It looks like tonights workouts is going to be throwing, truck push, chain drag. That will be good.

Lei man, where you at?
Training, and the throwing, and the training again.
1. Neck Attack - Green Band. 30 total reps for 3 sets.
2. Reverse Hyper - 230lbs 3 sets 10 reps.
3. Band Rotations - 3 sets 10 reps each side. Green Band.
4. D-Ball Stand Throw - It was raining, so we threw inside. 22lb D-Ball. Took a ton of throws. Then we got to talking. Now I will go on an tangent.
There is a large difference between understanding a throw and "understanding" a throw. Example -
Someone says the shot put / stone throw is supposed to be long and you drag the stone behind the hips.
Now, at face value, that statement "makes sense" to both the experienced thrower and the beginning thrower. It is the application of the advice that is different.
As a beginner, it may sound like you lean over more and move the upper body around the hips. Of course this is not what it means.
To the more advanced thrower it means you rotate the hips, drive with the legs and leave the upper body behind. So the front of the lead hip is ahead of the stone.
The trick is to get the concept across to athletes at different levels and knowing that advice given will be interpreted differently at different levels.
I have run into this in many arenas. Something as simple as a squat has completely different meaning to people with different backgrounds, of different training age, and different experience levels. If the overall concept of the exercises is different for different people, you can see how coaching points can be taken differently.
The mark of a good coach is someone who is actively trying to understand the differences in how athletes at different levels perceive coaching points.
Back to training -
In this discussion we uncovered some of the different ways I was interpreting coaching advice and made some great breakthroughs in how the stand throw is done.
I was peppering the 29-31 foot range with high effort throws. After understanding better the "drag the weight behind concept, I was able to hit the same distance throws with quite a bit less effort.
That was great. It is fun to learn and better understand how the body moves. Frustrating as it can be, it is worth the aggravation. I just might not seem like it at the time.
5. Kettle Bell Snatch - 3 sets 5 reps with a swing in between with 52 and 62lb kettle bells.
Super-Set
6. Land Mine Rotations - 25lbs on the bar. 3 sets 5 reps each side.
Super-Set
7. Hungarian Core Blaster - 3 sets 6 reps 100lbs.
The above was a great little circuit. I really need more of this basic "get working and get in shape" type of thing in the program. As much fun as it is to lift the heavy weights, the work is important as well.
8. Kettle Bell Snatch - A couple of singles on each side up to 88lbs. It went pretty good.
Thoughts -
All in all a pretty good day. I am liking the increase in middle training. That will be very beneficial as time moves on.
The D-Ball throws were frustrating, but a lot was learned. So I have something to build off of.
I am liking these little circuits.
It looks like the truck push chain drag will happen tomorrow, Since it was raining today.
Training, and the throwing, and the training again.
1. Neck Attack - Green Band. 30 total reps for 3 sets.

I didn't train today cause I didn't want to cough and have my snot all in my opponent's face. I should have lifted, though. Today I just went on a hike with some friends who are moving at the end of this week.
blah blah blah, even as I type this, I realize they are excuses. Training will continue shortly
