Last Week

Since I forgot to post all last week I will do my best to remember.

Tuesday 7/3 Squat

I did a few light snatches to warm up a little.

Safety Bar Box Squat
I used one more plate, so I was squatting to may 14 or 15 inches, so well below parallel. I think I would be at parallel with an 18" box.

I know the safety bar weighs 65 or something like that, but for simplicity I just consider it 45 pounds.

worked up to 365 x 2 x 2
405 x 2 x 3
365 x 2 x 2

The weight on these seems super low to look at, but they suck to do.

Safety Bar Good Morning
185 x 8 x 4 (this could have only been 3 sets, but I know I was planning 4)

I know I'm missing something here.

Sled Drags

400 pounds, not sure how many trips I did.

Thursday 7/5 Upper

Jesse came over so I had someone to do an upper body workout with finally.

Bench
I did double up to 375 paused. I tried to go 405 but missed it.

Incline with chains

Weight was 205-225 with 80 to 120 pounds of chain. I did a few sets of 3-5.

Barbell Rows
225 x 10
275 x 10
315 x 5
365 x 3
385 x 3

Thick handle dumbbell deadlift and hold for grip 140 or so for 5 sets.

Dumbbell Row
100 x 20
100 x 15

Jump Rope Tabata (Kind of)
I just do 50 jumps and then rest 10 seconds per round. I figured out I almost always hit 49-51 jumps per 20 seconds for a tabata anyway.

10 rounds

Friday 7/6
Lots of stretching and foam rolling.

Jump Rope
75 x 2
Tabata style for 17 rounds, for a total of 1000 jumps in about 10 minutes.

Sunday 7/8 Events
Axle Medley
225, 250, 275, 300, 325

The first 4 went up pretty easily. The last was on an axle that I always seem to have more trouble cleaning, and I missed the clean and so I missed the press. I actually don't feel too bad about this because I know I could get the press if I get the clean done well.

Farmers
My hands were not feeling too great after spending the whole day moving Troy on Saturday. I just did a not too impressive 60' run with 280.

Tire Flip
One 80 foot run with the 600.

Stones
I used the 330 stone and did 10 reps. They were pretty slow, maybe took me 2-3 minutes to finish, my body felt pretty terrible after moving all day the day before, so I was just happy to get this in.

Now I just have to decide if I want to do this contest last minute or not.
