New Hampshire Lifter II

Training Over 35 Lifter

Well Paul not every meet can be a good one. Kainen put up 303 easily but missed 330. He recently put up 335 in the basement. So he was disappointed.

1b. Baby cambered bar rows barx15 135x10 185x5 225x5 275x2x5 225x4x5

One of my favorite workouts. A big push and pull done together.

He competed, tried, and hopefully learned from the experience. Thatā€™s what matters.

Tru Dat , when we met I didnā€™t exacly have a ā€œgreatā€( Iā€™m being kind to my fragile ego) dayā€¦so I feel his pain and disappointment. But he has many meets ahead of him and I am sure he will rock many stellar performances!

Deleted my last post by accident. So if you didnā€™t read it thanks Harry and Paul.

I think I did the good morning squat correctly this time. At least it felt right. And I ditched the belt today to work on my core (I hate that word).

I benched with my son Kainen and he wasnā€™t using bands so I guess neither was I. He was benching too heavy too often. Iā€™ve got him to back off and follow a 5/3/1 type rep scheme. He bench 250x10 fairly easy tonight.

As I have learned, there is nothing better than father-son workouts. Just as long as mine remembers Iā€™m still bigger, stronger and meaner.

Somehow I donā€™t picture you being mean. Strong yes.

5/10
Deadlifts 145,185,225,275,315,365,405x5
Then outside for a bunch of stone lifts.
Now Iā€™m dirty and tired.

1092

Doing stone lifts after 405 x 5 = adequate
Tired and dirty = good

1093

Thanks Harry.

Got outside and carried the smaller atlas stones. Carrying needs to become a regular part of my workouts.

1098

Any plans on trying a strongman contest?

1099

Crippler, no plans for a strongman competition. Just keep lifting and carrying stuff in my backyard.
