Dino Gym Challenge 7-23

Max Axel
280, 300, 320
1st place
These were all easy and I think I could have probably pressed 20-30 more pounds. These felt a lot better than they had in training.

Fingal Fingers
I was last to go and heard from everyone before me how hot these were from the sun. I ended up finishing the 3 heavy fingers in just over 26 seconds. I found out they weren't joking about how hot they were and ended up with my hands getting burnt a little bit.
1st place

Farmers (300 per hand)
I didn't feel like I was moving all that fast, but finished a 70' run in 10.09 seconds so not too slow.
1st place

Power Stairs
3 steps
300, 350, 400 pounds implements
16.xx seconds
1st place

Stones
I am not real proud of how stones went, but I learned a valuable lesson. I will never again wear sleeves for stones when it is that hot out. I ended up having a bunch of sweat run out of my sleeves and onto my tacky and it turned it into vaseline. I also should have taken one or two more attempts. I still finished first in the heavyweights but am dissapointed with what I loaded.

I got first in the heavyweights and had a really fun day with some interesting events you don't see very often. It was also a good test to be out in the heat. It was 101 degrees at 10 am and 112 by the time we wrapped up.

The Dino Gym is one of the most interesting places I have been and I envy their setup and equipment. The people who train there are extremely lucky. It was good to see some familiar faces and a few new people. Overall it was a pretty relaxed competition I felt like and was a very good time.
