I do like stones. Can never have enough.

9/12

  1. log clean and press: 75,125,145,165,175 x 1-2 sets x 1-3 reps, 195x1 215x2x1 145x10
  2. curls into press with the log 75x10 95x2x8

I may have overdone it the 2 days I lifted stones. My elbows and back were very achy. So I did what I could and cut it short.

  1. 17ā€™ā€™ box front squats: barx10 95x10 135x5 185x5 225x5 275x5 315x10 225x10
  2. Spin bike x 10 minutes

I have a full day so I had to get up early and workout. Donā€™t know how anyone does it. This was all I could force myself to do.

Gotta love the yard.

Crippler, itā€™s good for me to get out of the weight room and train outside. Helps with getting bored.

You live in the rocks, trees in between.

(5 min later) Ok that was a bit harsh, but I couldnā€™t resist writing it. I lived deep in the woods for 32 years, and then moved to a place with a nazi homeowner association. Iā€™m not ā€œallowedā€ to park in front of my house at night. Something about upsetting the balance of the neighborhood.

1653

Not harsh at all Mac. There are a plethora of stones around here.

9/19

  1. log clean and press: barx10 125,145,165,185x5 165x2x5 165(every rep clean+press)x3x5
  2. cgb 135,185,225,245,265x8
    3a. lateral raise x 2 sets
    3b. band pull aparts x 2 sets

    4b. band pull aparts x 2 sets
    5a. rope pushdowns 50x30,20
    5b. db curls 25s x2x20

Looks like a lot of sets but this didnā€™t take long. Log cleans were feeling more fluid.

Warm-up
1a. Leg curl 50x4x25
1b. Ab crunch 4x25
1c. Belt landmine squat 100x4x25

Workout

  1. 17ā€™ā€™ box squat+chains: barx5 145x5 235x5 284x3x3 (chain weight not included ~50-60 lbs)
  2. Stone row to good morning: 230 lb natural stone x4x3,3,3,4

I was trying to figure a way to do belt squats. So rigged up a landmine and put some foam and tape around a chain and started squatting. Works fairly well. Not sure if it was the warmup or a good day but my back felt really good.

  2. 17ā€™ā€™ box front squat: 135x5,5 185x3 225x3 275x3 315x3 365x2

I only cleaned the first rep on clean+press. The 3rd rep with 365 got away from me and rolled off my shoulders and down my arms. That hasnā€™t happened for a long time.

Where did you get your log from?

1661

We bought the 10ā€™ā€™ log from titan fitness. Itā€™s the only one Iā€™ve ever used. So Iā€™m not sure if the 8 or 12 inch would be better. But Iā€™m really happy with it. Just checked and itā€™s on sale for $160.

  2. Prowler pull with rope x 35-40 pulls

I walked a bunch between exercises. My yard is hilly so I kept my heart rate up. Then I smoked a heart healthy cigar.
