1 double dumbbell snatch (?)
8 x 1 @ 2x35 kg
2 deadlift
3 x 5 @ 195 kg
Originally supposed to do 5 sets but the lower back was still super fatigued from last week. So we cut out 2 sets. Load was okay but the back pump was insane. Should have warmed up better before the dumbbells, which got that going actually.
3 farmer’s walk
30 m @ 100 kg (turn at 15 m)
30 m @ 110 kg (turn at 15 m)
Tore a callus badly. Took a lot of normal skin with it and now that’s open. Have to be creative how I tape that. Farmer’s also went really shit. Stopped here causw hand needed attent
So far I was able to handle the heat actually really well but today it really was an issue… I felt super unwell.
Not a good start into the last heavy prep week. Just have to soldier on.

Man I am on a streak with those. This one is way worse than last week though. Got loads of tips how to cover it up. Will implement them and suck up the pain.

Not too be to melodramatic but today felt like one of those make or break points in training. Great opportunity to make it and it feels good to do so! (Well in all honesty it was close to 4 hour workout with setting up and putting away in 34°C after a full work day and I infact feel not great afterwards… but accomplished )

Dropped them on the way back because the tape was slipping that I used to cover up my torn hand. Tore the hands some more but it made me really angry.

I was spent after this week. At work I was dizzy, unfocused and ready to just fall asleep standing. Very exhausted. But because of timing I only had 20 minutes to lay on the sofa before I had to train.
Not gonna lie, I loathed the thought of having to train.
Also at this point it would be quicker to list what doesn’t hurt.
1 axle clean and press
4 x 3 @ 100 kg
Good stuff and not to self praise here but I thought my shoulders and back looked freaking huge and pretty jacked in the videos.
Biceps hurt though, haha.
2 keg clean and press
3 x 4 @ 90 kg
1 x 5 @ 90 kg
Okay. No energy anymore but decent work.
3 paused monster dumbbell
6 x 2 @ 64 kg
Some sets were brilliant, others shit. Was meant to be 62,5 kg but afterwards I weighed the dumbbell and collars and it is 1,5 kg heavier than I thought the whole time.
4 keg carry
5 x 15 m @ 90 kg
At the risk of repeating myself: Things were bad at this point. Right SIJ got aggro again.
5 sandbag carry
1 x 20 m @ 128 kg
I hate myself for giving up here because at the next comp grit will be the absolute decisive factor… but I just had nothing left anymore. I dropped after 20 m because my biceps was hurting, my SIJ was hurting and I had nothing left. I was supposed to do 2 sets of 30 m but I was just empty at this point.
This concludes my last heavy session. I am proud of the work I put in and I hope I can show that next weekend.

You made a smart decision. Don’t risk further injury to finish a workout. Recover hard and comeback stronger!!

1 overhead medley
80 kg barbell - 90 kg keg - 100 kg axle - 90 kg keg
2 runs, only singles.
2 monster dumbbell
5 x 1 @ 65,5 kg
1 reps was very good and the other 4 were perfect. Very good to hit these so well before comp.
3 sandbag pick ups into carry position
2 x 1 @ 128 kg
These hurt the biceps so I left it at 2 and also I wanted to do no actual walking with them to spare my back.
Very good last deload/ priming session.
