Wasn’t sure how strong I’d be on this right now but I had 405 or slightly more in me I think.

These sets of 8 were not easy… and it’s only week 1 or 3. Bracing, head position, and opening up hips every single rep

In almost 2 years if incorporating bands into training, this was the first time this has happened. Nothing bad, but did strain my upper back a bit.

Good to be back at it. I feel fresh but weak 😆 That will change. “What have you become?” I am what you made me.

Being sick all week sucked. I’m vampire status pale for now but I don’t think it will last long.

Here is what’s next. I haven’t competed in a full competition since Dec 2018. I’ve never been able to bench 500 in a competition. I’ve never gotten to add to the state record that I still hold on bench after 5 years of competing in the sport. I haven’t barbell back squatted in nearly 3 years. These are the things I’ll think about when I don’t feel like training, when I don’t feel like eating, when I don’t want to do my mobility drills. I’ve tasted failure and It’s a nasty taste. I like the taste of domination. If you domin...

The fire is burning but that’s nothing new. Words can not express how happy I am to be pain free and not live in constant agony from the autoimmune disease I have. Chronic pain causes us to not be ourselves, attacking us both physically and mentally. I will likely not live to be 90 but I’m ok with having the scars from doing the things I love to the highest level while I am capable.

I tried to get a little workout in yesterday. Did a warmup set and 1 “working” set and called it a day. More rest 😆

You will do as well as you trained when it comes to physical endeavors. Experience in the task and the physical tools to facilitate will allow you to know exactly how things should go. Accidents do happen but they are rare and happen much more to the less experienced and physically prepared.

Taking this week to rest and recover. Next week I will begin training for the next endeavor, which will be in August. Expect some big gains.

Event 2. The event I thought I’d do best at. Decided to wear wrist wraps last second and couldn’t get my hands deep enough to pick up stone. Still came in the middle of the pack with 2 presses done. Few people couldn’t do the log. Many people couldn’t do the stone.

Event one: Carry Medley. Placed middle of the pack out of 12 guys. Knew it would be one of my worst events.

3rd place of of 12 in the heavyweight division. Weighed in at 266. Won 1 of the 6 events (Hercules hold), 4th heaviest overall deadlift made (650lbs), did worst on the event I thought I’d be best at and best at the one I thought I’d have most issues on.

Last couple weeks of training Easy 639 deadlift - 700 would be around my top for this if needed. It will be needed. Farmers Carry Practice for Conan’s wheel DB clean and press Yolk walk + keg carry
