tootlieeeeeeeeeee dooooooo
SO hard to take a damn rest day! But it is for the best. Traveling Sunday morning to do a run through of the contest with the contest equipment. So I will damn near be competing so I need a break. Friend said I need to hit 260log 700 yoke 570 deadlift and move the 320 each hand farmers. ITS GETTING DONE.
Was watching the 1977 World Powerlifting Championships when PL was on TV. WOW loved the lifting back then! Vince Annello was a straight beast. and Doug Young lifting that much in that much pain WOW.
I got a date with a hot epsom salt bath because thats how I party.
Bryant Gumbel sounded a little out of place lol. I’m positive he called the squat a “deadlift” several times.

He sure did, he even referred to the squat as a pull. Funny

Thats whats going down tomorrow!
LWI!
Hope you had a nice bath.
I hope you banana-and-honey’d up and killing those numbers today =D
Thanks girls!
Bath was good glad I did because my low back was still TIGHT when I woke up. The fact my phone died in the middle of the night and my alarm didn’t go off and I woke up 10 minutes before I needed to leave 10 minutes ago probably didn’t help.
drove an hour away met up with the guys I was driving up with… Another 2 hours in the truck then event time! Wish I had honey & bananas I need to plan better for these long days
Started off with a bunch of bullshitting that went well then moved onto Log Presses
Went
115
165
185
205
225
245
265xfail
265xfail
No POP from my legs
waited… watched the HW’s hit some sick #s
Took my shirt off
255x1 GRIIIIIIIIIIIINDA but still most weight I’ve ever lifted I’ll take it
Think the log was rolling down my shirt cleaned it much better with no shirt
Yoke time
These Yokes where beautiful I haven’t yoked heavy since Nats so kinda dreading this.
yoke felt awfuul on warmups. did a a run with 540ish?
went up to the contest weight
700
oh boy this sucked I finally got a good pick then took it step by step and got about 20ft? Never walked with 700 so its a start. My yoke knot the raised bump on my neck that is permanently there I think tripled in size.
Deadlift
worked up to 500x1 My low back was smoked and i loaded 530 on the bar went to lift it but shut it down. I got 5 weeks for that
Farmers picks
each hand
230x2
275x1 easy
320xalmooooooooooooost damn grip is improving very happy with this. I feel like I could have moved pretty good with 275. I will at least get some points with the 320 come contest time.
Considering how beat I was and 300x1 is the most I have done previous I’ll take this attempt at 40lbs more.
320 farmers pick........ - YouTube
Grip slipped in my right hand with the injured thumb it hurt after this attempt.
Hit up a Chinese buffet after training by the time I got home I ate a large pizza and a pint of ben & Jerry’s trying to make up for not eating!
I am going to feel GREAT in the morning
close…
So, you got those PRs without any food? Amazing.
I could imagine that your lower back was fried. I’m sure you’ll get more rest between the lifts at the actual meet though. Awesome work, PRs everywhere. The food sounds delicious and well-deserved.

That’s good that you had something, but enjoy a nice carb-y breakfast for the meet in July.

More cheating tonight with reverse band deadlifts. Never done them before but Have wanted to for along time.

Reverse Band deadlift
Needed to switch things up a bit this week, have wanted to try reverse bands for awhile.
I first set up the bands on the top of the rack and the bar with 225 was barely staying on the ground and still giving help at lockout. That would have been cool for an ego stroking but I don’t think thats how its supposed to be so I looped the bands around the pins on the top setting 135 stayed on the ground so prolly 100-120lbs of help at the bottom, full weight at lockout
135x3
225x3
315x3
405x1
495x1
545x1
585x1
cool…
Pendlay rows
225 3x10 or 9 if I cant count
Stone trainer
3 plates 3x8
Standing band ab pulldowns
average band 3x15 ab pump!!
short and sweet, perfect as this will be a semi deload for me to heal up a bit before the big push for the comp
