I will always give credit where it is due mate. I will look forward to reading your thoughts on this latest training block and whether you think past blocks have contributed to this is some way, kind of like a multiplier effect.

@simo74 For sure dude. When I say āthis blockā, I mean less Deep Water intermediate and more the entire 26 week block of BBB Beefcake to Monolith to Deep Water. Iām so pleased with how they all built off each other. I thought it would be a good idea, but could never imagine JUST how well it would work.
DEEP WATER INTERMEDIATE Week 6, Workout 3
AM WORKOUT (0300 wake up via alarm)
Chins (various grips)
3xF
Clean pulls 135
1x10
Power cleans 155 w/10 band pull aparts between sets
7x12
1x16
Axle shrugs against bands
1x108
Kroc rows 115
1x15
Notes: 4:00 between sets of 12, 5:00 before the set of 16. These were some of the best power cleans Iāve done, and also done while feeling just awful. Itās how I expect to feel at this point in the program after what Iāve put my body through. My hands are also a total horror show. This is the last āDeep Waterā workout of Deep Water. Just benching and active recovery left. Schedule may be a little screwy for the next few days, but at this point itās just cashing the check.
Might play with the stone a little later today. Got Tang Soo Do as well.

PM WORKOUT (1530)
16 rounds of 20 seconds on/10 seconds off intervals
Odd minute: stone of steel to shoulder
Even minute: burpees
Notes: Still a killer combo. Good quick way to get the heart rate up. Back is tender and wasnāt moving too quick on the stone.

He says nonchalantly after killing a whole bunch of power cleans just 12 hours before.

Why do you think itās so tender? Haha. No joke: this round of Deep Water Iāve started developing flu-like symptoms on the deadlift week. My ribs hurt. Itās wild, haha.

I used to lift at an Oly gym and got to see a visiting powerlifter deadlift-into-front raise 70kg after he saw someone snatching and thought it looked cool.
Might be a cousin of yours

Kinda surprised by this part. Every time I do a lot of PC or rows I get blisters, and I keep thinking theyāll develop callouses and wont blister next time. I keep being wrong. Looks like Iām not alone here.
Amazing work Pwn.

That reminds me of that strong man who set the Grace āworld recordā basically by doing a set of curls

@raven78 Thanks dude! Ragdoll is about right, since thereās so little technique, haha.
@rroo My cousins are all female, and burnouts, haha. Sounds like he took after the Paul Anderson school of weightlifting.
@jdm135 Itās honestly the log that has chewed them up the most. 100 cleans on that thing was just shredding them, and then all the deads and cleans otherwise didnāt help. Same with the time spent on the power keg. Itās just been a helluva time for them. And thanks for the accolades!

5 Time: 9:45
Notes: 2:00 between sets of benching and bodyweight work. Had a tight schedule this morning but managed to get in the bench workout. Was really motoring through and using rest times to set up for the next lift. That circuit I came up with for the PM work was solid. Worked up a decent sweat and got in some chins. Gonna build the tower tomorrow. Since I have nothing to really save myself for at this point, Iām thinking of pushing pretty far into it. Will see how it goes.

Oh yeah, for a Tang Soo Do update, we got a stripe promotion last night. Decent workout. Biggest news though is there is a fair chance Iāll have to waive off the strongman comp, as belt testing is that day and Iām fairly certain my kid is going to be eligible to test for their first belt. Iām not going to miss that. Time will tell if thatās the case.
