Look Strong, Be Strong

That’s a great video. I did something similar a few years ago but it involved pulling kids on toboggans for time. If you’re ever interested in competing, there’s a lot of strong lifters in the east. Maybe because there’s fuck all to do there but lift and walk in the snow with dumb bells :slight_smile:

Seriously, I think you’d have fun.

Good ass shot.[/quote]

Thanks for the compliments ouroboro_s. Not sure if this conditioning stuff will be a regular thing. I suppose it should since it sucked.

All this competition talk. I’ve got a long way to go before I would be comfortable but I guess we’ll see.

Squats + (5 rep day)
95 x 5
140 x 5
190 x 5
235 x 5
285 x 5
350 x 5…PR +4 reps at this weight compared to 2 weeks ago. Fingers crossed this trend continues. Annnnd, video fail. Card was full.
330 x 3…went for 5 but I was done.

RDLs (can’t remember the last time I did these)
235 x 5
330 x 5,5,5…felt a lot of muscle tension. I need to foam roll and stretch my ass.

Planks
235 x 1 minute…used a barbell on my back. McGyver’d a setup in the rack. Vid but it is lame so I won’t bother.

EZ curl
4 x 8-10

You have really nice form on damn near everything.

Planks with a 235-lb. barbell on your back? Ummm . . . I’d like to see the vid.

I agree with Snapper. You have very nice form. I’m looking forward to summer when that shed is very warm. :slight_smile:

great minds think alike…

what was playing ?, I could trance out to that, was perfect for my high rep stuff.

Those are some fine RDL’s home boy.

Well, thank you so much for saying that. The squats felt good and I was a bit pissed that I didn’t vid them.

Okey dokey. As you can see this is a bit awkward. But, it didn’t shift around too much. I’m up on my toes. My ass is a little high but it keeps my back flat. Otherwise the bar rolled down my back. it’s lightly touching on the near rail but no weight is being supported.

I suppose, if I was going to do this on a regular basis, I could make a bar holder out of wood that would cradle the bar and keep it from rolling & shifting.
