2/17/20 - bw 225. So I decided to give axle clean and press a try, since it’ll be an option instead of the log for max reps in 60 seconds with 245lbs. Goal was to see if I was faster with the same weight in 60 seconds. I…i was. By a long shot. I will be working on it solely with some log technique practice after to keep it on the back burner. Practice went like this…
Axle Clean and Press
150x3,5,5
185x3,3
225x3
250x8 cleans and 8 presses in 50 seconds, all double over. Blowing smoke: have not trained axle at all in well over a year. Zoinks. I am so focused.
Log Clean and Press
110x5
110x5
110x5-10 idk, just keeping this worked. Mix of one motions, push jerks, strict press and split jerk.
Banded Overhead Lockouts (pause at bottom)
135+GB x 3
175+GB x 3, PR
195+GB x 1 almost went to 215. I’d have it, but it’d be a big grinder.
175+GB x 3, paused at half way on all these. Strong!
all for today. Great session.
Everything is improving so far, except for stupid 18 inch deadlift, which i have no idea about until next session.

185x3,3,3
225x3,3
250x1
250x1
250x3 feels crappy, not gonna push AMRAP, plus no reason to I think at this point.
270x1 easy…
285x1 ties a PR, easy!
300xf, hit my belt on the way up. took the fucker off
300x1 15lb PR! press was a joke. Had probably 8-10 AMRAP.
technique work (no belt)
245x3
245x3 felt the best out of all the sets, called it here to finish strong
Seated DB Military

@Koestrizer @simo74 @mr.v3lv3t thanks for the love. I’ve been having a lot of fun training lately! Have newfound strength; corner has been turned!
2/27/20 - Bw 233 proper creatine bloat and feeling super fat. Strength is on point.
Yoke
185x100’
275x100’
365x100’
455x100’
545x100’
belt on
665x100’ got to 50 feet in about 8.2 seconds. Decent. Considering uneven ground, not that bad. Somewhat pleased, meh.
Sandbag
275x100’
275x100’ this feels like shit
275 x fumbled to pick this about 10 times. Yes 10 times successfully lapping it but having it slip out of my grasp due to it being shaped “wrong”. (bag shapes like banana and becomes impossible to grip)
275x150’ success!
275x200’ burner
275x230’ all I had for this session. 100% effort
very solid training day.

@kdjohn thanks. Over 100 feet under my PR, but given the work load, I can only be pleased.
3/5/20 - Bit of an update. Good news and bad news. Good news is, I PR’d on yoke Took 665 for 50 feet in 6.2 seconds. 2 second shave off my last time. The bad news, I partially tore my hamstring on the way back.
Not sure what this means for my contest, but time will tell.
At least it was doing a PR and not carrying groceries in and slipping or something stupid. Wishing you a speedy recovery bud!

Thanks. Fastest that weight has ever felt, or moved for me. This is the strongest I’ve been, so regardless, I cannot be too upset over a minor injury such as this. Timing is horrible, however.

mate that sucks big time. Hopefully its not too severe and you recover quickly.
That really sucks! I hope you’ll have a speedy recovery
