Quick workout before heading to airport for short work trip. Probably also going to be doing some KB workouts next few days, IIRC the gym at this hotel has at least a 50-pound kettlebell. May run out to a commercial gym for one heavier session if I feel like it.

Was going to do a max-effort-ish day today, but ended up with kindergartner staying home sick from school. He was a little trooper and played toy trains in the garage while I lifted, but I’m still a little leery of going really heavy with my kids around so I just did easy doubles on the way up and stopped at 275 instead of setting a new 2026-max.

Top single at 455 felt good. Tough but not a full max effort. I think I’m probably still good for 495 on the right day, but will stay the course and keep building my base.

Bonus addition today! I decided to treat myself to a pair of Rogue’s 26ER Wagon Wheel bumper plates. I did have a pair of Titan Fitness Wagon Wheels a few years ago but only used them sporadically and sold them. More recently though, with my interest in strongman & using conjugate-ish ideas, I think having the option to mix in some Wagon Wheel deadlifts with my regular sumo pulls is a nice idea. I have to admit that I still feel like I have trouble with this height compared to pulling from the standard height, but this time I’m looking at it as a fun challenge to overcome. I was honestly pretty happy to work up to 405 today.
Also for posterity, whenever I log “Wagon Wheel Deadlifts” I will be using an axle.

Had to adjust a bit on the fly today, this was just a quick little tester / fun with my new toy that I had to squeeze in about 15 minutes. I am thinking that maybe I’ll start doing Wagon Wheel deadlifts for higher reps on my “strongman event” day - I actually have the glimmerings of an idea for a “mini-competition” day that would make for fun Saturday workouts. Something like a log clean & press for reps, wagon wheel deadlift for reps, farmer’s walk event, and sandbag carry or shouldering. I could set up all the events and then do each event for a 60-90 second window, resting about 10 minutes between each, and tallying the total number of “reps competed” as my “score” for the day, working to improve my score.
