Box squats- 50x7, 90x7, 120x7, 150x5

Another season finished

Stone Mtn. HG last weekend was a fine way to end the season.  All the guys I throw with are first class and great throwers.  I finished a respectable 3rd place in this tough group.

This 2013 season saw me winning my 3rd World title and setting 4 new World records in the 22# Hammer, 16# hammer, 16# sheaf toss and 22# sheaf toss.  Now it is time for rehabilitation training for the next 2 months to rest my body and mind!

January I will start to pick up the pace a bit with heavier weights.  Next year will be a great year with the World Championships in Scotland.

A "tentative" schedule for next year;

March- The Arnold Classic 

April- Southern Md.

         -Loch Norman, NC

        - Canada

May- Maryville, Tn.

July- Grandfather Mtn, NC

Sept- Virginia HG

       - Estes Park, Co

       - Loon Mtn, NH

       - Scotland

Oct- Stone Mtn.

ultimo Maximo

The last game of the 2013 season is fastly approaching.  Stone Mtn. HG is next Sat the 19th of Oct. "The Grand Finale."  I am feeling really good going into this last game, but ready to get on with the off- season.  I have some big things planned for 2014...  I would like to thank my Love, Sharon for putting up with and supporting me through this great journey!!  My sponsor for their unending support, Tim and the crew over at http://www.biorhythm-ads.com/  Look for an article they put together on me in the GNC publication in Dec.  Lastly all my Highland games family, the constant encouragement and commardre is what keeps me going!!

I know this sounds like and end of season post, but I was feeling it, so here you have it!  I will give an end of season re-cap post after Stone mtn.

Thanks

Update- Fortis Ingressus

Just competed in the Virginia Scottish Games this past weekend.  The Pro division was tough, I managed a 4th out of 6 finish.  I did however win the Caber toss and set a new Masters 50+ World record in the 20# Sheaf toss.  My next game is this weekend the 7th at Estes Park, Colorado.  This will be another tough Pro class.  Rest and recovery for this week!

I'll make sure and get some pix!!  I have been playing around with my diet and technique, so hopefully I will get it all together for the Pro Masters games in 3 and 6 weeks respectfully.

Special thanks to my sponsor Bio-rhythm for their continued support and excellent products!!

Mid Season

Just wanted to touch base with everyone as I know it has been some time since my last post!  In May I won my third World title in the 45-49 age group.  Two weeks later in Kentucky I set three new World Records in the 50-54 class.

I have three more big games coming up;

Aug 31- Virginia

Sept.21- New Hampshire

Oct. 19- Georgia

Im feeling really good right now.  I had a few tweaks going into my last game at Grandfather mtn., NC, so nothing big there.  I did however win the Pro Caber toss.

Thank you everyone for your support and i will continue to strive for #1...

I will update after Virginia games...
