We finally got our platform. We had to go pick it up, break it down, transport it, and then set it back up in our gym, but we have it! Looks like a nice one too, a bunch of guys are excited to get it and start working more on the olympic lifts.
We also got our first keg filled with concrete yesterday. A guy who works out at the gym does tons of concrete work and offered to fill it for free, so that was cool. It weighs 320lbs, it’s going to take some getting used too.
We also got the 3 stones to the gym, 280, 280 and 300. Now we can start working those on a regular basis.
Bad news is my left elbow has flared up really bad over the past 2 weeks. I’m going to my ART guy on friday, hopefully he can help. Right now I am 3 weeks away from the monsters at the mall and cannot train upper body,
eeeekk! I’m excited for that show as there are 30 guys in my weight class!
Hope training is going good for you guys, I am going to attempt to do events on saturday, so we’ll see how that goes. Stay strong

Nice bro sounds like you all are getting set up.
Hope that ART helps and good luck with the training etc. I may see you at the Monsters… I may try and make it to watch.

Back Squat

305x0
295x1
Wow while since I did back squats, first time ever using a belt I think I missed the 305 because I was trying to hold my breath and push out against the belt, and I am not used to it/doing something wrong.
tried to do some DB Rows but my wrist is still sore and I wanted to keep the strain off it so it will be fine for events on Sunday.
Finished up with some weighted ab work.
Plan to start fresh and get some damn volume back into my workouts next week.

Workout today went pretty good. We did some light log work just to work on form and get warmed up, then went to a heavy squat. Beau worked up to a 550, rex hit 365, and I hit 500. We had a belt and knee sleeves on.
Then we did carry and drag. 320lb keg for 60ft, 300lb sled drag for 30ft, load another 300lbs, and drag another 30ft. The 600lb drag felt sick heavy, and I was the only one to get it, actually twice! I was really happy with my keg carry as I haver never done that before and it’s 50lbs heavier than my show. We were able to get some pics. I’ll try to post them now.
