Sled drags up and down the hill of DOOM for 25 min, with a sprint to the top of another hill as soon as I was finished with each trip of drags. got in 7 trips, and 6 sprints.

Tried out my new Chuckies with some overhead squatting, and some snatch work.

Did some more lightened benching with Hamer and Jason the trainer, worked up to 365, got stapled on 415 (surprise surprise)

I Like to Squat it Squat it

Squat cleans at 155 4x2

Step ups onto 2 blues, 155 4x8

Floor press 205 4x8

GHRs 4x8 holding a 35

Skull crushers with chains, working up to 4 chains a side.

Quick stop at the house for a snack, then back to the weight room to help hammer with some shirt work.

Had my first experience with the "lightened" method of bench. we used a purple band for our first set.

225x8, then added a band 3 more reps, another purple band for 4 more reps. Talk about a deep burn.

Worked up to 405 with a doubled purple band for one, HEAVY at the lock-out.

Then some tire flipping because well, it's a good time.

Just finished a big fat steak... time for a nap

Today was a conditioning day. It was raining so at least running was out of the question. Instead we did a quasi-strongman workout for GPP work.

One circuit of keg snatches into a lunge, then kettlebell snatches 5 each hand, then hanging leg raises, then pick-up and set down 45# plates on the GHR, then some tire flipping. All of these were for 4 minute sets. then we did sprinter sit-ups for a minute, bridges for a min, sit ups, and then a last bridge, all for a min.

Then I did 5 or 6 "stone" lifts, I worked up to 310 + the peg for a fast lift, I'm getting the hang of these down now.

Squat cleans, 205x6x2, 225x1 245x1

Banded squats, 295x6x2 + purple bands

Weighted back extensions supersetted with snatch grip situps

goodmornings with cambered bar 100x10x2 right into
deep squats with the cambered bar, 100x20x2

Pretty quick workout, the squats felt good and fast.

TIME TO EAT

Cleans up to 265, 6x1. Hamer noticed that my feet are moving back during my catch...something to keep in mind.

Back Squats 6x1 @ 425. Good form on all, little trouble with my left knee coming in near the top.

Single arm DB bench 3x8 @ 85#

Rotational abs, green band 4x8

Good, Quick workout

finished with some strongman stuff

Makeshift atlas stone onto 3 boxes
I got up 6 reds and the bar end which works out to just shy of 345, so that was cool.

Tire flips, getting easier and easier, Cole is even improving, except for his last lep, where he almost lost his leg.
