Stone carries x 5 100’ trips. I used a lighter stone and carried for distance. Just one more thing I need to do more often.
I see a lot of good things in here
Nice work
I envy you your yard toys, and your ability to use them. Are you planning on doing a meet or anything?
Keep telling myself I’m gonna try some stone carries but never get around to them. John took my question. Are you looking at doing a strongman comp?
Thanks guys. No plans on any meets. Maybe next year.

Stone carry
Same stone but I upped the distance from the previous workout.
If you haven’t carried a stone for distance you’re missing out. If done correctly its right up there with 20 rep squats.
Nice sets of push ups and the hang clean & presses are looking real good
Hopefully, if my hip heals correctly, I may be able to do loaded carries. right now, I think I would split in half lenghthwise
Thanks Harry. I hope to one day clean and press the kind of numbers you throw around.
John, that damn hip has been bugging you for a while now. Even the great Dan John has hip issues. Happens to the best of lifters. Don’t be ashamed of me but I’ve been a red wine drinker for a while now. No more whiskey. Whiskey gives me heart burn.

luckily for me, in my dotage, whiskey can give me a little heartburn if I don’t have something with it. bud red wine tears my stomach up even worse. Eventually I’ll have to start watering my whiskey down with beer

Ah, a nice, soothing, glass of wine. Start with a really good week of Mad Dog to cleanse the pallet and follow up with a nice Thunderbird. Recommend a can of Vienna sausage, some sardines, and saltines as an accompaniment.
Boiler makers, John?
What are you now, Steve? 42? I think you can really increase your lift numbers if you choose to whereas I’m hitting that zone where I’m trying to maintain some of what I could once do.
Ok, back to the Jameson’s and a recorded episode of Cooper.

My family won’t let me eat sardines. But everything else is a go. I’ll be 44 next month. Still time For me to get big and strong. Your maintenance numbers are what the rest of us are striving for.

Kevin, Harry should write a book. I really enjoy his BonMots as well. And thanks for stopping by.
