Trying, thank you sir! Going to do 365 3x8 next week.

Plan to press 275-280 with the log Saturday…

Who knew 150lb db rows would make your upper back SORE the next day?! LOL

Got a free double burger for lunch

Went and got a massage. “How hard did you train your back?!”

Came home and my supps came but also a new gym bag from my sponsor! awesome day.

Nationals Event Training
I’ve been felling down all week about training, my wrist hurts to the touch. I get shooting pains down my knee to my lower leg due to a nerve issue. Squatting hurts deadlifting hurts thought about not going to Nats. All the money when I can’t even train right? When I need to fix my car? When I probably need to drop a grand at the dentist? I went and watched some local MMA fights last night with good friends and on my way home drinking a pint of Keifer I thought WHO CARES I am strong and this is strongman everyone is hurt. Its part of pushing yourself to do really stupid things. No one is 100% and I can train around it and still get STRONG. Who cares if I put myself in the hole I am after glory!

Haven’t been this fired up to train in a long time…

Went and picked up the new Hussafel and a bunch of new stones for the gym. Its a BEAST should be 350-360+? weigh everything next week…

BW 211lbs

12" Log Clean & Press

95xbladidybla
185x3
205x3
235x1
255x1
275x1 PR+15lbs YES YES YES

Damn that felt good!

I tried to switch the internet radio set up in the gym and hit a station that said all metal. Good enough generic background metal… 2nd song in it kept saying “white power” and other such talk then a German speaking DJ came on. I figured that should get a Jews feet moving for the yoke!

Yoke walk 40’

240x2
330x2
420x2
510x1
600x1 about 10 seconds BIIIIIG pr felt good!
690x1 1 drop pr also! but it was hell but 600 was hell a few months ago

Hussafel stone

about 140’ felt decent I can’t see over the damn thing though! need someone to call the line for me at Nats hahaha i could have went another 20-40 but didn’t want to break it dropping on concrete devirginizing it.

It wouldn’t be that bad if it doesnt cut into your damn veins on wrists! People gonna put me on suicide watch. Can I get Vicodon for that?!

Some 45* back extensions and side extensions

Elliptical

18" pizza split between 2 people with cheesy garlic breed

I am going to do NOTHING but eat food watch football smell my dogs farts and drink a gallon of milk tomorrow.

Damn dude, push through the pain but don’t kill yourself brother. Some damn nice PR’s man, bravo.

Yoke sucks so much! I used to feel the exact same way with 600 though and am running with it now… so i hope i can add 50lbs and double the distance in the next 6 weeks haha

Yeah been icing, foam rolling/stretching/massages doing everything i can for recovery

You may not hear my footsteps but your sure to hear the swish of my Rehband covered thighs rubbing together.

Nice pressin’ going on in here! Haven’t checked in in a while, but I noticed the title change. Guess this means you’ll be in Tunica? I’m going to try and make it down (only like a 45 minute drive from my place) and watch y’all move a lot of heavy stuff.

Good luck with the training dude. Lookin’ strong.

Thanks. Got to remember its not a race but sometimes when you can see the finish line and know you have to push it you lengthen your stride a little tooooo soon. Got to pace and peak right

Dude, new avatar picture is awesome!
