Heavy/Light

I switched on the ol' camera rig and did a YouTube live stream watch party for the Amazon Prime Documentary "The Heavies" that featured the Highland Games and several of the top pros journey to championship games in 2016.

In keeping with the "list stuff and talk about it" spirit, the community provides me a list of their favorite kilted dorks. For real though, these episodes are massively fun and I love the comment sections of these posts being a hangout of sorts.

We haven't had many results to pull up lately. So, with a few good-sized backyard games having taken place in the last couple of weeks, it's time!

I'm also whiny.

In one of my trips down YouTube memory lane, I stumble across two things: 1) musical brilliance, and 2) my old gear load out. I take the opportunity to go through common gear questions and how my load out has progressed over the years.

Made as a longform response to a common question about how athletes progress from beginner to pro, I finish the episode with some advice for everyone, no matter the skill level.

Just when I thought there was a reason to train. That'll teach me to ever try! I also watched the Netflix thing, and it was cool.

We all want to know the standards. We all want to be told, objectively, that we are terrible. Here comes my subjective objective measure of what are good throws and what aren't. We also run down the games and athletes that posted numbers for June.

There are a lot of options out there for lifting programs to support your highland games career. Whatever you choose will be wrong,  everyone will hate you, and here's why!

This episode is a round up of all the games that we know are still on or have been rescheduled. The Boyne Pirate Fest is safe, and that's how we know everything is going to be ok. Also pair a mask with that eyepatch.
