  • I’m loving not benching. My shoulders aren’t feeling messed up and weighted dips are just chady

Events Day Part 1

Press meldey (all 1 rep): 5 rounds

  • 135lb Viper press
  • 150lb axle push press

Sandbags (52inch load):

  • 150lb: 3,3,5
  • Worked up to 200x1. Pretty damn happy
  • I don’t think I overextended my low back. No pain just watched the video. Will work on core and low back strength

Notes:

  • Rest of events to come tomorrow
  • Electrolytes are saving my ass with this hot weather
  • Weight wise I’m 170lbs. Been eating a lot but apparently need to eat more. I just look and feel bigger, leaner, and stronger (not an issue at all)

Looked like a solid load. Are you wearing a belt backwards for this ? I don’t usually use a belt for sandbag work but I know a few who will wear a soft belt.

Yeah. Mainly because I was slick from sweat and needed someone to help grip the bag vs just a soaking wet t shirt. I noticed the breathing and bracing didn’t really change any. Only backwards so the buckle didn’t get in the way

5/3/1 C4W1D1

Time: 74 mins

Jumps: 3x3 broad jump

Squat: 170x5, 195x5, 215x5,3,2
Press: 100x5, 110x5, 125x6, 100x8
Chins: 35-9,7,7
Dip: 35-8,8,6
BOR: 185x6,6,6
Farmers holds: 85x 5 1 min rounds

Notes:

  • Implementing rule of 10 on squats. Back to using the SSB and I felt a lot of it in my adductors. Just assuming it’s from being a little tight. Nothing is feeling smoked. I also noticed I have trouble getting sore in my quads. Could be from all the squatting, single leg work, and prowler work I use to do (high tolerance before DOMS)
  • Having the events day/strongman goal, it’s really allowing me to use the lifts for developing size and strength vs just trying to lift heavy. All squatting was done with a great depth and tempo
  • Ate after this and then crashed on the couch. Best nap ever.

5/3/1 C4W1D2

Time: 51min

Agile 8

Clean: 100x5, 120x5, 130x8
DL: 225x5, 255x5, 285x8 (strap and belt)
Dips/Chins: 25 total
GHD/AB: 25lb: 3x10
RH: 180x2x25
Poundstone: 42

Notes:

  • Main lifts are taken until the last rep slows. This feels like I could get 1 more grindy rep for sure and maybe 2 on a really good day. I think this is the right intensity
  • I really hate getting stronger on GHD. Just means BW will get me less so weight and bands is the way to go
  • Dreadful lower back pump on reverse hypers. Could be my weakness. We will see. Just need to hammer everything considering I’m weak
