keg carry 255, 225,210

worked on pressing the 200lb keg

290 farmers for 2 sets big tanks. Really sucks when they bang into your calf every step. Grip felt great but couldn't get foot work together.

Still feel at about 80% strength after having the flu. Hope to get to 100 this week.

Upper body Flu

This is why I never plan deloads. Life forces them on you. I trained hard 5 days striaght, got a pr including some what I consider milestone ones. I planned to take the weekend off and capitalize on the free food at 4th BBQ's. 

Well Sunday I started to get a scratchy throat. I had little appetite Monday and felt like garbage I tried to mask it with vodka but I don't think that exactly worked. Monday night I felt like trash, not even ice cream helped. 

SO i lost 5 lbs had to walk around in 90* + heat all day for work. So much fun, Still got to train when you feel like shit sometimes!

Axle Strict Press out the rack.

Events

Went to train events again...........

Loading medley

40'

230 Sanbagx2
225 keg
200 keg

10 seconds faster then last week. I think i got an easy 10+ seconds I can still shave off this. Hell my drop of the sandbag on the 2nd time cost me 10 seconds. It still sucked but I wasnt AS dead as last week

Overhead medley

200 keg

225 axle

235 log

120lb standard db



Still struggling a little with the keg but much much better. Not locking out the stuff is quick as I'd like to. Finished the first 3 in around 30 seconds. db kept slipped on my back as I was sweating a ton. 

Simulated car DL

Raised it up about 3"  added a plate each side and did them from a stop ROUGH my whole posterior chain was already so fried after rep 5 my ass and hamstrings just refused to fire. 

farmers lets not talk about it...... My grip has felt weak for the first time in a long time.

Watched my training partners do a crazy battle of stone for height with the 335 tossing it around like its a toy.
