Week of 12/5

Overhead 12/8

Worked up to 215 x4 seated with no back support.

Bench12/8

I usually bench and then do overhead, but did it backwards today. My bench was off a little. 305x8

Deads 12/6

This turned out to be one of those times when I couldn't go 5 minutes without getting interupted, so it wasn't the best workout.

Worked up to 495x6

Events 12/11

Axle

200x3

250x3

300x4

300x5

300x7

I'm pretty happy that I can handle 300 on the axle any day of the week now, when a month or two ago the most I had done in the gym was 300.

18" Deadlift

405 x 3

550 x 7

Obviously this was a stupid jump, and I had on a Spud belt which I like for certain things, but not for this. I really need to do some work on these.

Sandbag load to 48"

Jesse, Troy, and I started these indian style. They were each doing one rep and I was doing 2 for 5 rounds. Then Jesse decided to do more than his one rep, so Troy did a set of 5, so then I did a set of 12. These had me breathing pretty hard, but I think I could have gotten at least 3-5 more reps out of it. My forearms are torn up from the bag today though.

Core Circuit

1. Blast Strap Pike

2. Pallof Presses

3. 50 lb. Med Ball slam

4. rest

There were 4 of us, which explains the 4 stations. 10 reps for exercise, 3 times through.

This was almost more of a conditioning exercise to me than it was core.
