Veggie - Lol, I had to move it im over 35 now! Thanks for the kind words about Liberty she was a great dog with a great heart, 18 wonderful years. Unconditional love and loyalty something very hard to come by espescially with humanity. Its funny about the guilt, I get no guilt from the Jewish side of me and like you tons of it from the Catholic side , to this day! I think the gloves were some regular work gloves.
Flash - Man I was beat, you get used to training one way and then this style is a total 360. I did enjoy it, I would love to do it more consistently but their studio is a little ways for me so its tough sometimes. If I could go consistently it would be the only way I consistently keep my conditioning in order. When left to my own devices the conditioning sometimes doesent happen lol.
KMC - I really have to start with the front squats, I may play around with em tomorrow, thanks for the kind words man.
Masch - well its about time ! I know you can do the Zerchers…if you do all that oly stuff this will be a breeze! You should see me do oly lifting what a TRAINWRECK!
Honestly I moved last year into our new house when we moved. By myself and the wife helped. From a 6 bedroom house to a 4 bedroom 3500 sq feet. Had to do it in 2 days. About fucking killed me. That is why I do all the yoke walk, farmers etc.
Great vids. Went through a zercher period, lot of highland guys swear by them for the caber toss and other throws. Felt them primarily in the quads but I was bent over more at the beginning and standing straight at the end to get the lower back involved. Finally gave them up in favor of the front squat that hit the quads 100%. Oh, I was an alter boy at a young age.
Masch - NY bagels are a definite food of satan, unfortunately I have the food of satan in me at least 3 times a week…have you ever gone to Zuckers in Tribeca? for my money the best bagels in NYC 146 Chambers http://www.zuckersbagels.com/. Pumpernickel bagel w scallion cream cheeze F T W!
DJ - Theres something I have to tell you…we really are brothers, I know I should of sent you a PM but now all of Tnation must know! That would be a funny scene…me and you rumbling in a all you can eat buffet and seeing the beads of sweat roll of the managers temples! The tire flips are no joke man, I do some shit today that made me wanna puke out my intestine.
Harry - Im happy I wasnt the only one feeling them in my quads. I really do like em. But I do agree my form may be a little to forward on the descent. Oh and I just came back from having lunch with my daughter…and in your honor…no diet coke a nice frosty Lemonade!
Ok so today was supposed to be a deload day but I saw my buddies down in derty jersey at absolute fitness in MatawAn, I was telling them I have been having some issues with my DL form…so they tortured me a little.

Well well well, I really need to get my conditioning up, it was sobering how bad my conditioning is. The good news is that I had rep PR with 405, my buddy really helped with my form and it really helped with my pull. I tried and failed with the 455 which was discouraging…talk about from the penthouse to the outhouse. Seeing guys half my size DL 500 today was a real eye opener. Long story short I am going to become good friends with this fucking prowler for a while.
Tonight a bottle of Syrah and my bed and some shit TV…heaven
Congrats on the PR. And nice pulling. You tried 455 3 times? Finally! Someone as hardheaded as me.
The 455 will go. I would say to be patient, but I wouldn’t be.
Thanks Joe, I think the fixes to my form while a work in progress should help my numbers. The prowler is a great tool, Im gonna make a point of doing it more consistently
Ogre, ha ha yes thats what I keep telling myself
Strick, the first attempt was almost there, then after that it was down hill, maybe too much of a jump, Ill keep on at it.
I know you can do the Zerchers…if you do all that oly stuff this will be a breeze! You should see me do oly lifting what a TRAINWRECK!
