As seen from the vertical stripes on the pants mixed with the horizontal stripes on the shirt.
But those reps were fine, what are we a bunch of form nazis?

They all touched and locked out but bar path was all over the place, which is fine since I got the reps, but room for improvement, which is also good.

Today’s work:
Conventional deads!
60kg X 5, 100kg X 5, 120, 140, 160kg X 2, 180kg X f
I’ll upload video, felt lower back lose position dropped immediately (very aware of this as my backs pretty tight right now and conventional has never felt good there). 60 and 100 felt awful, 120 started to feel better and 140 & 160 ok - vids of 160 and 180 to follow.
Trap bar: 68, 108, 128kg X 5, 148, 168, 188, 208kg X 1
Top two sets felt harder than I’d have liked. Vid to follow.
Axle ohp: 21, 41, 51 kg X 5, 61, 71kg X 1, 81kg X f, push press in anger, rack, moment of angry musing 3 more PP and a fail. Awkward bar.
Emom 10 mins (actually 8):
TBDL: 128kg X 5
S/s axle ohp: 41kg X 5
Got to set 8 and had to pause the timer, didn’t time last two sets but got them done.
BB Poundstones: 102
Got to 70 without any break then 22, 10 (not letting go of bar).
Ruined now.

As soon as I get enough motivation to get out of my truck and walk into the gym, I’m gonna give these poundstone curls a go. Gonna have to use an ezcurl bar though as I can’t curl a BB. Y’all are making these things sound so fun

Spoiler alert: they aren’t. Even with an ez curl bar.
You could have waited till I Atleast went into the gym. Now I’m gonna have to start this motivational process all over again. Thanks 
Get your ass in there pansy, those weights aren’t going to squat themselves.
I’m trying 
been sitting in the parking lot for 30 minutes lol
Edit. No squats today either. Those are yucky
Edit2: I also don’t squat or deadlift in public. I save those sacred lifts for my home gym lol
What would pwn do?

Ha. Dude it’s 11:48am here. He’s already worked out 3 times, ate 4,000 healthy AF calories, ran a half marathon, and lifted a combined weight of 200,000lbs.

Vid dump - warning Jesus music and bad clothes, also bad video angles. Any critique welcome, as are snarky comments (@Cyrrex)

Haha why on earth not?!
Check down the back of the sofa.
As far as critique goes, I would just say stop pretending like 180 is heavy and just pick that shit up. And also stop trying to make sweet love to your push press.
Did you switch to trap bar after? Maybe trap bar is the way to go for you.

Strength was definitely not the problem, just cautious about my back. I realised that I didn’t feel any of those deads in my hammies, not sure I got my hinging right.
I’m happy to keep TBDL in there (can cheat my way to my goal of 250kg by the end of the year by doing it high handle TB) - but for strongman purposes I need to figure out how to convo without blowing up lower back.

I think strongman learn to keep pushing the convo DESPITE their back blowing up 
of in other words
with that said… stay (as) safe (as possible)
