notes:
-noticed that my strength in the power variations of olympic lifts is much lower than it used to be. I’l take this opportunity to really key in on good mechanics in the lifts since I won’t be pushing for pr’s anyways. perhaps the lessening of sprinting has moved me down the force-time curve. my squat is doing better than it has in a long time
-mechanics steadily improving, legwork is getting a bit more consistent. have started raising my arm a bit to prep my throw so i can come more over the top and compensate for my lack of freakish flexibility (which is improving, btw. slowly but surely)
-mostly weighted ball work this week trying to get my 3-step form perfect with the ball, then transfer to the jav, then to the 5 step then to full runs
-hips keep coming back when I’m throwing, though I think this might be the result of collapsing my block leg back instead of coming up and over it. perhaps more shoulder flexibility and momentum forwards will cure this on its own
