16:30 workout @Home

I carried my 16# stone to Bohn Park to practice throwing (about half a mile).

- Overhead Shot was in the 17-20 foot range

- Braemar (standing) was in the 17-21 foot range

- Open (glide) was in the 20-22 foot range

Back home.

- Front Squat 45*10*3

- Lying External Rotation - left 11*30, right 11*30

NB. Pretty poor showing, but you have to start somewhere. Overhead Shot technique is particularly poor, I should be throwing farthest with this style.
