That’s a whole lot of Front squatting for 2am !..Anytime really 
And carrying bears around is no joke either :()
Thanks Z!!! I like the bear carries!!
Today
fs 45x5, 135, 200, 215, 230, 240, 250 <–PR!!! EYEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! FLIPMODE!!!
225x5, 225x3 x 5 sets
215x3 x 5 sets
205x3, 205x2
farmer’s handle carries 162#/arm x 33 meters x 4 trips
2 pause camber bar fs 135 x4 x 3 sets
I must list that the PR was in my new SBD knee sleeves!!! They felt great! I like them a lot! I do think I’d be able to get that 250 with my old set up, but why? HA HA! I used my older sleeves which are big enough to go over my pants for the last few sets of 215 and the rest of the lifting day.
Who cares?!! I’ve been hunting that 250 frontie for EVER!!! And she’s mine! YES!!! I have a video! Its high but I think with more confidence I can get it lower. Also a video of a repeat pr of 225x5 which I think I can get prettier with more confidence. The 225 sets I’ve been able to get the last few weeks felt nice and strong.
Monday I did some pull ups at home- 2 sets of 8, a set of 4
Yesterday did a set of 7 pull ups. My hands are swollen…just hormonal stuff which should go away in a few days. HURRAY!!!
I AM SO PLEASED!!! 250!!!

Proud of today! Worked an overnight last night and had low expectations. Things went pretty well. At the body builder gym–at 1pm in the afternoon- the phones and the outfits were on HIGH alert. SO MANY PEOPLE.
I’m lucky I got a squat rack. A chick next to me had the rack the whole time I was there and did maybe 3 sets of squats. Just talked, just visiting, just using her phone, putting her sleeves on to sit and then… I like to give people the benefit of the doubt… maybe she had an injury and needed a ton of time …had I had to wait for her to get a rack things would get DICEY FAST.

dead lifts- dimel dead lifts 45x12, 155 x10, dead lifts 155, 265, 355 ← really missed calculated my loading! I didn’t mean that big of a jump and I wondered why it was so hard! But I got it.

wt’d vest walk (48# in it) 2ish miles
I got a new wt’d vest! —it can go up to 80#. HA! Yeah, not so easy. I’m going slow and low to start but the starting wt and distance a walk on the trail by the park in truth was not easy–not terrible but not easy!
My old one is 20#. I was laughing the vast majority of the walk out loud because we’re such weirdos! A luxury and a thrill for me at least to tote shit.

Today- wt’d vest walk 5 miles, maybe some pull ups later. I did it with the 48# and it was done. Not terrible but not super easy

Today I woke up and gave it a shot because I was up at 3 awake and just chilling. Drove to the gym , got inside and quickly went home! I’m going back to bed!
This rarely happens so it means I must rest so I shall. It appears to be the new vest stuff – too much! So I will revamp and rearrange.
Its getting to be warm enough for field work with my own equiptment too so I can change up the system for carries and spread them out and sleep in a bit if possible. The vest itself can be used as a bear hug implament too! Crumpled up I can do some sweet stuff in the field in the future.
Last night did a set of 10 pull ups

Only in THIS log. Wow
Thanks Z! I’ll gt there eventually! The trouble is I need an assistant to help me put it on once it gets to be that wt! Its an apron type vest so I pull it over my head. I can get the 48# on but we’ll see just what my limit will be for being able to get it on!
Today
fs 45x5, 135, 205, 225, 240
225x6, 225x3 x 10 sets
pull ups x1, x a set of 8 ANGRY ELBOWS
And that 48# walk destroyed me! UGH GAWD! At least I think that’s what my fatigue was about and it seems pretty likely. I’m pleased that I got this done today for fs! It was a gamble on whether I’d get anything but thank god for knee support for fuck’s sake! And for AB’ING IT OUT.
Sunday I was still pretty beat but the knees and elbows had tons of complaints all day and of course it was young strong dog with no manners and mild ailments day at work. Wrestling spry young things with upset knees and elbows SUCKS!!! I wore my sleeves walking up the stairs after the gyn today too on purpose!!! They will calm down but good god!
BUT! 225x6 AGAIN! WAHHHHAAAHHHAAA!!! :D!!!

Regarding the 80 pound weighted vest i imagine it being suspended from a pull up bar by a couple of straps. Stand up inside it, untie straps.
Whatever the solution impressive work in here.
At the rate she’s going, I’d suggest an engine hoist…just to be safe
Impressive indeed.
Thanks Scotto- I appreciate it! HA! I will have to figure it out! I can always load the thing while its on me but its not easy, its got sand bags and they can be tricky to get in the slots, but tis an option!
Z!!! :)!!! Thanks!!!

framer’s handle carries 172#/arm x 33 meters x 4 trips total- ONE of these was a straight shoot, they got a bit better each time but those freaking turns KILL ME!
182#/arm x 50 feet, 192# x 40 ish feet- grip was dead 
a set of 10 pull ups
That’s it today. I am distressed over my grip issues because I HAVE really noticed it and I think its due to decreased pull ups but I can’t do pull ups as much as I was due to elbows. I’ll figure it out.
I woke up at 12:48 am READY TO GO. I did go but now I have a looooooooooooooooooooong ass day ahead. I’m going to try and nap for 45 mins or so now but its going to be one of those things. I look forward to lifting so much its worth it to be a bit tired! BUT today might go until 7pm with misc work shit…god in heaven

100# sand bag hug walk x 66 meters
130# sand bag bear hug walk x about 100 feet total, set it down once and re grouped
- is for a tire some chump left in the way!
I tried to move it before I did my first walk on the runway I do to move obstacles and I couldn’t get it out of the way. I thought I’d have enough room to pass it with my t-bar but I ended up stopping short because the bar ran into the tire. I was pissed! So I flipped it out of the way. First ever tire flip, no real interest in doing more. Put your toys away!!
Also 130# sand bag was a kinda pr? SURE! I’m happy to see 370 back on my dead lift, even thought it was belted I’ll take it. Its been once ever last year that I got that wt. WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!
Yesterday I ditched the 5pm-8pm meeting I was supposed to go to and slept instead. TOOOO MUCH WORK STUFF. Nuh uh! We’re moving and it can’t be soon enough. 35 people in a treatment room with about 20 dogs/cats trying to do many things is NOT COOL! Playing scooche by/pardon me/sorry/excuse me all day long I am completely done with. Big new place will start in 4 shifts!
