Strongman events Carry Medley 230 sandbag, 230 sandbag, 225 keg, 200 keg all 40ft 48 seconds 12 seconds faster then last week awesome keg carry 255, 225,210 felt off but good to do extra work 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!

OH squats was the plan but my shoulders are so sore and tight from pressing 2 out of 3 days.

so 4 days straight of hard lifting but I feel fantastic prolly cause I've been eating about 5k calories a day tomorrow off. Then HARD HARD event training Saturday prepping for Brian Shaw's show
