11/24/10 Overhead Pressing
I live up a gravel driveway, I had some time to dig out the drainage ditch today so the road doesn’t wash out this winter. Ended up being a lot of work, so between squatting yesterday and all the digging I was pretty worn out going in.

Shoulders are FRIED Log press is good, I had little pop from my legs after squatting yesterday, and digging today. but thats how I want it, press in worst case scenario. 220x5 is all time pr. Not far off
Paused military presses to work on power off the shoulders, pull ups where easy until rep 6 every set. the short rest breaks my shoulders where finally fried on the 4th set of 1 arm db presses.
Pumpkin cheesecake?.. Tell me how delicious it was.
The crust is my favorite part of cheesecake. The host of the dinner I went to made it from scratch with pecans in it… I love her <3

Where’d you spend Thanksgiving?[/quote]
It is… Really good, eating some more right now. I got left with just an ungodly amount of it as well. That sounds really good, I’d love her for feeding me that to
At my house, my mom and some family came over. It worked out real well, as I barely had to cook, didn’t have to leave my house, and have a mountain of left overs. How about you?
10/26/10 Deadlift/events
BW 187… Not bad considering day after thanksgiving. Funny how much better sweet potatoes are when made with brown sugar, butter, maple syrup and marshmallows.
Deadlift Dead Stop No Straps
135x5
225x5
335x3
385x3
430x5 probably a strapless pr, grip felt 100% solid which is biggest concern for the powerlifting meet. Pulling mixed grip and dead stop takes some getting used to so this is a good start. 455 for reps next week can’t wait!
Damn the reps felt slow but look fast. Thats why I tape sets
Axle Power cleans
123x5
173x5
193x1 PR+8lbs I think
Axle deadlifts
303 3x10 dead stop mixed grips each set
Farmers walk 100ft
120x1
190x3
Backwards prowler drag through gravel
100’ prowler+90 5 runs
BTW dragging through gravel SUCKS. I somehow managed to only fall twice, only one caused blood.
Now time to chop wood, move rocks, stack wood and demolish left overs.
I know what you mean, after trying to keep my weight down the last few months I am really over doing it. Did feel a little sluggish today also but worked through it till I felt awesome. Couldn’t imagine doing complexes
Forgot to add this earlier, yes prowler+gravel=suck
11/28/10 Log press and Bench
I helped a friend move some stuff this morning, came home ate lunch and had zero appetite. Felt like crap, napped for an hour then took some Jacked. Felt ready to smash weights!
I was watching the insane video of Carlos Reyes pressing a 300lb Log and remembered the technique of putting your head ALL THE WAY BACK, stare at the ceiling it really helped. Should of had 3 but lost my breath bringing the log down for the 3rd. I think an all time 1rm PR is coming… Next week
Close Grip bench Press
135x5
155x3
175x3
200x10 nice
Superset
Incline Log Press
185 3x8
BO BB Row
205 3x8
Solid solid, no straps grip is awesome right now.
DB curls 2x8
DB Incline flies 2x8
Ab rollouts 2x10
Pinch grip 3 10lb plates per hand, left hand had thicker plates
30 second holdx2
go a little deeper next time, squats felt so damn easy. I got a little bored mid set, you can see me just look down and not respect the weight… going up to 365 next week.
Picture of some of my bars, got my log, texas power bar, pendlay bar, ironmind axle, home made solid axle, two cheap bars. Not pictured farmers and 3" axle

This is why I’m going by you to work out ;D
Ooh, Titan knee wraps for a Titan
Can’t wait to see how much higher on the Beast meter you go.
well I just had to deadlift today, The program had 455 for reps but then I got called out by a friend I am having a race to 600lb deadlift with to do 500 so …
Deadlift
135x5
225x5
315x5
add metal pro deadlifter
405x3
455x1 505x3 PR+10LBS
I really lost my tightness and let the 3rd rep get way out in front of me with a huge bounce which made it a tough pull and vanquished my goal of 5 reps. Oh well first time pulling over 500 for reps previous pr was 495x3
did a few axle power cleans and axle deadlifts but after that pull I am in a deadlift fog so I cut it short, going to go chop wood for conditioning and train some events tomorrow.
Yoke walk 80’ (no belt)
240x1
380x1
450x1
550x1 NO Belt PR+50lbs
Power Stairs to 14" step
Up to 315 for 3x5 easy
Tried to do some keg loads but my lower back said your an asshole
Yoke went awesome, core strength much improved. If I used a nice solid heavy yoke I think I could do 700x80ft with a belt right now. Hell maybe could on my wobbly yoke
I remember when I first got into strongman I trained power stairs and was HORRIBLE at them, couldn’t lift 200 something. I have not done this event (never really shows up) since and damn it was easy.
More collecting firewood, chopping firewood and stacking firewood now. I’m living like a damn mountain man
