I decided I wanted to start Carb Back Loading and am in the middle of the preparation phase (no carbs at all for 10 days) so I didn't have a ton of energy going into this.
Also, I decided that between not really feeling ready for all the events (mostly just yoke) for nationals and not wanting to spend the money and take the time off work to go that I'm not going to. I am going to focus on just getting stronger this winter, and really try to work my weak events as much as possible before next spring.
The things I feel like are my weakest points would be deadlift strength, upper back strength, posterior chain strength, grip strength, and conditioning in that order. Obviously, if my upper back and posterior chain get stronger it is going to help my deadlift, so there is some overlap. I am going to take the approach of trying to work in one exercise, even if it is just one or two sets, to work on at least 2 of these things every workout.
Having said all that, I am planning on competing in the Quad Cities meet on October 27th with Jesse and Troy, so those events are what I will be training.
Axle
250 for reps
I got 11. I know I can probably hit around 15 in a minute, but my jerk was basically non-existent because my knees were pretty sore. Also, conditioning.
Arm over Arm truck pull (Tundra)
60 feet x 2
These were both pretty easy and fast.
12" Deadlift
525 x 3
I was tired so I stopped.
Farmers Hold
300 per hand x 2 holds probably somewhere between 15 and 30 seconds
I just wanted to get some grip work in, not ruin my hands for a week
Stones
320 x some
I was completely out of gas by this point.
Pretty decent day considering I was ready to be done after the truck pull.
