8 x 3 x 315 every minute on the minute–this was technically supposed to be 296 AKA 65% but 3 plates just seems like the minimum. These EMOTM sets are so efficient! I didnt really feel like i was working untilthe last 2 sets, but I feel it today

My gym had a big competition on Saturday so no training for me. I got a much needed deep tissue massage instead
Strongman Kingpin Week 3 Day 1
Deadlifts
5 x 2 @ 365 (no timed rests but I think my rest were shorter just out of habit)
My foot had been aching to the point where I was limping. I don’t know what I have a pain on the bottom arch (center of the foot) that was throbbing so I called it a day.

I was feeling pretty terrible (more mental than physical) and my foot/ankle continued to hurt so I called it day
Strongman Kingpin week 2 day 1
Because of the gym Xmas party and the possibility of another Bourbon and deadlift session I switch day 1 and 2

the rest of the week and xmas week got pretty derailed, holiday, life etc., so I went with it and called a deload. Monday of xmas week I deadlifted, supposed to be 5 x 2 @ 80% but the lack of sleep “socializing” and stress it was a suckfest.
Strongman Kingpin Week 1 day 1 (redo)
I worked up to 315 plate by plate, then went to 365 (which kicked my ass last week) for a couple singles, then…
2 x 10 x 315 the first set was rough but the second was a nice ripper like it should be
Sharkdog
7 x 225
5 or so x 315
Strongman Kingpin Week 1 day 2 (redo)
OHP
8 X 3 X 135 every minute on the minute–that last set hurt good, but I got 24 reps in at
lat pulls
3 x 10 x 150-160
incline DB press
3 x 5 x 50 per–shoulders were starting to feel hinky
so the last week and half has been kind of funny. Training is going well, and I just got out of the habit of logging…then the great change of 2016 happened here so I got thrown off again.
Highlights of the last week or so…
I crushed an 8 x 3 EMOM set on Deads,@ 315
finally got a PR on the log, now at 225. I had to fight for the press but I got it.
