Lots of pressing. Warm up
axle
170x5
220x5
270x3
270x3

log 250x3
fat db 125x3 each arm

then we set up a medley

175 fat db. 280 axel. 300 log this is the press medley at the arnolds.

I could clean the db easy. But no press. It's Akward as hell. Went right to the Axel. Easy clean and 2 reps and then the log. cleaned it and it felt like it crushed my lungs. I was done. The db was humbling

farmers
200x 150 with a turn at 75
250 x 75
300x 50 then sand bag for 75 feet with two turns

super yolk
540x75 ran with it
720x50 it was heavy
900xnothing picked it twice

Great meal at Tuckers market place
I think I'm just about ready for the arnolds.
Taking this week off from the gym, a d then back to a heavy two day events next weekend.

Now I'm settling in to watch the super bowl

[bobbyorr]

After almost a week off, I’m back in action!!!

We had a special guest this weekend for strongman training, Jordan Foley.

It was nice to see him out, and he helped with some technique advice over the weekend and pushed both Paul and I hard for 2 days… Thanks Jordan!!!!

Ok, now too the training…

Strongman in the Garage

Log press, Clean and press every rep

135x5
185X3
235X3
285x3, these were done in a 60 second time limit… I did 2 reps, took 5 breathes and did the last rep
285x2 and missed the third… did the same as the first set but the log rested on my head so I put it down.

Farmers walk/ Keg load

I only worked up to 250 a hand because I’m having trouble walking distances with farmers… So I did 250 lbs per hand for 3 trips of 75 feet and loading the keg.. My hands really hurt after… I’m a giant of a wuss.

Atlas stone runs

285-300-320-350-385

I tried the stone sleeves I bought from ATP again, and for the last time… I hated them and took them off and threw them on the floor… I will use duct tape from now on…
Did some warm ups with the 285
First run I got to the 350 and couldn’t load it.
Second run the same thing
Third run I smashed the platform on the way up with the 285 and I was like getting kicked in the chest, so I was done for the day.

After, a bunch of us headed to la Nordic spa and did a a bunch of contrasts with really cold water, steam baths and hot tubs… it was awesome and lots of really hot women!!!!!

Day two

Fat DB press

75x3 each arm
125x3 each arm
175xmiss
miss
miss
Jordan told me some things and I got it… kind of, It was about an inch from lock out… A nice ref would have given it too me haha…

Yoke

405x75ft
585x75ft twice… everyone was mangled and we shut it down, and moved to stones

Stone for reps over the Yoke

We were all looked and felt like we have been in a train wreck. So we started having a good time and laughing at everything, and stones turned out awesome!!!
265 for a few
300 for 2 then I broke it… oops
320 for 3, this went well… it was work but was good.
320 for 3 same as the first set
350 for NONE, Had a good pick but I was too close to the bar, when I came up, the bar knocked the out of my hands, oh well

Had a great weekend and can’t to kill from now on in the gym!!!

I just ordered some forearm sleeves from Jackal's Gym! Just hoping to minimize the insane bruises I got from the 1st time doing stones! lol

Looks like training is going pretty well Shane!
