11/28/10 Log press and Bench

I helped a friend move some stuff this morning, came home ate lunch and had zero appetite. Felt like crap, napped for an hour then took some Jacked. Felt ready to smash weights!

12" Log C&P
95x5
145x5
185x3
205x1
235x2 missed 3rd



I was watching the insane video of Carlos Reyes pressing a 300lb Log and remembered the technique of putting your head ALL THE WAY BACK, stare at the ceiling it really helped. Should of had 3 but lost my breath bringing the log down for the 3rd. I think an all time 1rm PR is coming..... Next week

Close Grip bench Press

135x5
155x3
175x3

10/26/10 Deadlift/events

BW 187..... Not bad considering day after thanksgiving. Funny how much better sweet potatoes are when made with brown sugar, butter, maple syrup and marshmallows.

Deadlift Dead Stop No Straps
135x5
225x5
335x3
385x3
430x5 probably a strapless pr, grip felt 100% solid which is biggest concern for the powerlifting meet. Pulling mixed grip and dead stop takes some getting used to so this is a good start. 455 for reps next week can't wait!

Damn the reps felt slow but look fast. Thats why I tape sets

Axle Power cleans
123x5
173x5
193x1 PR+8lbs I think

Axle deadlifts

303 3x10 dead stop mixed grips each set

Farmers walk 100ft

120x1
190x3

Backwards prowler drag through gravel
100' prowler+90 5 runs

BTW dragging through gravel SUCKS. I somehow managed to only fall twice, only one caused blood.

Now time to chop wood, move rocks, stack wood and demolish left overs.

11/24/10 Overhead Pressing

I live up a gravel driveway, I had some time to dig out the drainage ditch today so the road doesn't wash out this winter. Ended up being a lot of work, so between squatting yesterday and all the digging I was pretty worn out going in.

12" Log C&P

95x5
165x5
185x3
215x4

Military Press (Paused)
105x5
125x5

Dead hang pull ups

4x8

1 arm db OH Press (strict)

55s 3x8, 1x6(L) 1x7(R)

Tri set 3x8

DB front raises
db curls
band face pulls

Shoulders are FRIED Log press is good, I had little pop from my legs after squatting yesterday, and digging today. but thats how I want it, press in worst case scenario. 220x5 is all time pr. Not far off

Paused military presses to work on power off the shoulders, pull ups where easy until rep 6 every set. the short rest breaks my shoulders where finally fried on the 4th set of 1 arm db presses.
