I need to get to a place closer to me that has one. I miss training log. It’s a fun implement.
Did you move I remember seeing vids of you using a log around
I had to commute for class for several semesters. The anytime fitness near that campus that I had to commute to had one. So while I was taking classes up there I would schedule my log training for the days I had classes up there. I don’t have any classes up there and that kind of commute isn’t worth it just for the log.
There is a gym with some implements nearby, been meaning to check it out. I just can’t deal with another monthly expense at the moment.
Fair enough. Living that broke student life

Financial aid finally came in today so at the very least I can start bulking again.
BulkingOnABudget series on YouTube.
Basically living off of almost expired meat. Which I can mark down for cheap at work.
Big Brain Time. I hope it’s at least somewhat tasty for ya
Its not too bad, occasionally get some higher end (for what we get) meat for next to nothing. Got some ground Wagyu for a $1/lb that expired that day.
Mate the day it expires is the day it starts wet ageing lol. It’s like wine
Still edible.

Was hoping for 20 but my hamstrings failed me. From rep 6 onwards I had a very good “mind muscle connection” with my hamstrings.

Inevitability of owning this implement, and using suicides as my my main form of conditioning. This sucked, but not quite as bad as Sled Drag Suicides.

A little hamstring murder.

Today was a good day, my knees were hurting when I was warming up, but I trudged on figuring once I warmed up it would be fine. It was and I managed to set some PRs. Been something a year and half since a back squat PR. Mainly because well, I didn’t train that lift for 11 months to focus on Front Squats.

So this was supposed to be a double, but I accidentally bumped one of the safetys so rep 1 was a terrible misgroove. Still Went for rep 2 and failed. Went for another set for for it to be too hard for a double. Tried 230 and missed it at lock out.

Even though that 425 isn’t a PR damn did it feel good. Pretty sure I did this exact same set as my final heavy week before Monsters of the Mississippi. So my static strength is almost back.

Triggering.
Actually it probably carries over decent to a tonne of strongman events no? From conventional stance deadlifts, stones and more
