Turkey Day Mofos! Sleep schedule is all fooked up so I rolled out of bed around 5 after laying there for an hour. Watched about 5 or 6 episodes of South Park, starting over with the first season, watched some Top Chef Texas and decided to do a little cattleballing. warm up (meh) 1 arm snatches 24k bell 1-2-3-4-5 32k bell 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3 suit case carry 40k bell 4 out and backs each hand x 2 8 out and backs no stop switching hands at each turn, more speed on this one I was going to do stone walks but it's wet and I don't want to run the risk of slipping and hurting myself so I figured some suit case carries would be a decent low level substitute. Watching some more TV, drinking coffee, and prepping myself mentally for the turkey-geddon. Barefoot, makes my old dogs feel new. I'm thinking of picking up a new pair of vibrams or maybe the new adidas toe shoes. Barefoot may be rough over the winter.  ------------- "A single one of us can defeat your whole army.

A year ago
11-25 Turkey Day Maxes Squat 365 3 rep max Close grip bench 195 3 rep max Deadlift 365 1 rep max (315 came up like nothing. Jumped to 405 and it was stapled to the floor) Strict standing overhead press 165 1 rep max My most recent maxes Squat 455 2 rep max off a low box, briefs and belt Bench ? I quit doing this for a while to focus on my overhead and try and bring up my lagging left arm Deadlift 500 at the Highlander no belt, no shoes, but with straps and a hitch Overhead press 205x3 was my last decent set over 200. I've done more but I can't remember exactly how much and this is good enough for now. A year of consistent training after about 3 years of mucking about with kettlebells and endurance stuff. Now lets just hope I don't mess this up and I can get another solid year of lifting, throwing, and doing work. No real specific goals for next year yet other than throw further and get stronger. New sports to suck at next year. I believe the next step is figure out a good bench specific program, buy a singlet, and pick out a powerlifting meet. I may try and swing an amateur strongman but it'll depend on the timing and the weight of the events.red ------------- "A single one of us can defeat your whole army.

50 hammer winds each way 5# on the handle focusing on speed, fluidity, long arms, and hips. Footwork drills doing the double turn for WFD 10 rds Braemar throws with the 16# shot - 10 times My lower back is SMOKED. Time for a maple bacon cupcake. Later beers AMRAP My hammer winds felt good and I mean real good. More than one session I had both hips moving real well, only lost my footing twice, I think I did the WFD footwork drills close to right, and my Braemar was a nice consistent distance but I never got in the groove, makes me feel good about my distance once I get some more stuff dialed in. ------------- "A single one of us can defeat your whole army.

cattleball warm up Overhead press 45-65 x5 85-95-115-135-155-175-185-205-225 x3 pr Box squat 45-135 x5 185-225-275-315-put on briefs-365-405-455 x3 pr Deadlift 225-275-315-365-405-455 x1 slow but I've got an opener for metroflex highlander now. The PR press was not strict but it's close enough to count for now. The last squat was SLOW but it kept moving and my knees didn't cave in so I'm happy about that. Couldn't get a good groove today. And the bar never seemed to be right. The last deadlift was slower than expected but it wasn't a max effort lift so I think it'll be a good opener. I hook gripped all reps and dropped the weight. I'll strap up for the highlander. I also wore my briefs. That hurt my form, I couldn't seem to get my hips down enough. All the speed deads from here on out will be without the briefs. ------------- "A single one of us can defeat your whole army.

cattleballs 2 rds with lots of rest between sets 5 bulgarian goat bag swings 5 goblet squats 5 bottom position squat curls 16-24-32-40k ball I may do some more stuff in a bit but I don't know for sure. Life is kicking in the cahones but it ain't nothing I can't deal with or nothing I don't deserve due to all my bad karma. The bad news is I'm going to back out on the mainline after the first of the year so no more sleeping at home every night, no more weekends off, no more paid holidays, no more working a few hours and going home. The good news is I'm going back out on the mainline so more money, less actual effort, more gym time (nothing better do to in the motel), more time for low intensity cardio (see previous reason for more gym time), and more time to read so my brain doesn't continue to rot away. ------------- "A single one of us can defeat your whole army.

Some randomness this week. Mainly dealing with my stupid head. Relaxing tonight, getting up at the asscrack of dawn to drive to Fort Worth for the Metroflex Highlander.
I am seriously hoping what little work I've done since the Celtober Cowtown Throwdown pays off in some new PRs. And I'll never beat him but I'd love to make Svavar sweat a little from me breathing down his neck. That's the joy in competing against a monster like that. I may never beat him but I'll break myself trying and that means PRs for me even when he kicks my ass. Plus he's a great guy. ------------- "A single one of us can defeat your whole army.

Metroflex Highlander report 3rd out of 3. PRs Random thoughts, musings, and a bit of whining. The gist of the day. I put in serious work, set some PRs, hung within seconds of my competition, had no major heck ups, and I lost. It doesn't get any simpler than that. I'm pissed about losing. Not because I could have won, I couldn't. Or brcause I was better than either of my competitors, I wasn't both were legit competition. But simply because I want to win but I'm a long way from there. Today wasn't my day but I had a good performance, I learned some things, and I had a pretty gawddamned good time. I was within 2 seconds of second place on the overhead medley, five seconds on the tire flip/keg medley, and around 2 feet or so on the Braemar. And I probably would have been top 5 no matter how many competitors. But I got beat. Sometimes your best just isn't good enough and heck me it burns when you're so close you can taste it. No excuses, no regrets. A short recovery and back to work. But first it's time for Bourbon and beers. And for the record I'd rather show up and fight my ass off to good competition than have a stack of weak sticks to walk through. Another plus is I got to meet StefΓ‘n SΓΆlvi PΓ©tursson. The heavyweights had to carry a 350# keg for distance yesterday. Svavar told me that a 350# keg is part of the overhead press medley for Stefan's next strongman. Thanks to Svavar for dragging Stefan out so I could meet him. Great guy. ------------- "A single one of us can defeat your whole army.

He looks at me and says "how are you going to that?" I was speechless at the stupidity.

I didn't throttle him. He's so clueless it's amazing. The best part is he's a "trainer". 12-28 25' walk 40# vest and 2 wee dogs. The Amazon wrangled Chewie. Hip was acting up as was my right foot. 16k ball fun Bulgarian Goat Bag Swings Goblet squats Squat curls X5 ss w/ 150# sandbag lap and load 1-2-3 200# sandbag lap and load 1-2-3-1-2-3 Attempted 250# lapped but couldn't grasp it to load. I've already busted a couple of the inner bags in my sandbag but the outer bag keeps my floors sand free. 200# not all that heavy. 250# awkward to lap and impossible to grasp to load if I lap it stupid. I think I've figured out why my lower back is toast all the time. I'm letting my lower back round when I go too deep. Focused on getting to the proper depth without tucking my rear and really stretching everything out. Needed to do PVC rolling, band curls and triceps extensions but I forgot. I may throw them in tomorrow. I need to throw. Friday maybe, Saturday for sure. ------------- "A single one of us can defeat your whole army.

I also believe the dipstick may have been alluding to anabolic use. I don't think he believes you can make progress on hard work, consistency, a bit of common sense, and lots of food. I'm no monster like you(Duncan), Matso, Andy, Craig, and many others here but I'm happy with my progress so far. I graduated high school 155# now I'm 36 and 230#. After a little over a year back lifting I've surpassed quite a few old PRs and now thanks to the Games and Highlanders I've got new things to PR in. Everybody is looking for the magic bullet when hard consistent work is the simplest most effective answer. ------------- "A single one of us can defeat your whole army.

I struggled with a weight on the jerks that I should be able to press. I cut the complexes back because I'm fat, out of shape, and haven't slep good in a few days due to long nights at work. I'm not drinking enough water so I'm slowly cutting back on the coffee and trying to get up to a gallon of water a day. 232 after lifting today. Now I need to keep it around that while I add muscle and shave off a little fat. Next week I add in some light conditioning and prehab/rehab work. I figure maxwell's daily dozen or the YRG 20' workout and a 20' weight vest walk will be enough. I'm thoroughly disgusted with myself right now. Out of the Kickoff Games because that's my son's birthday. Me and the Amazon may make the Brothers Vincent Throwing Clinic and Jam-Bear-Roo we just have to make sure we don't have anything else scheduled. ------------- "A single one of us can defeat your whole army.

I'm dumping too much intensity into my fast lifts and complexes and it's hurting my big lifts. The petechia is off the charts. I look sunburned. Yes I did dips and chins.

1-24 Maxwell's Daily Dozen - my lower back started acting crazy at the end, just goes to show how f'd up my lower back is. Fatfit inspired cattleball workout H2H swings every 30" do a set starting with 10 wait for the 30" mark and do the next set, repeat until you run out of time 10-12-14-16-18 a bit of rest Dan John inspired cattleballing for my lower back and hip health Bulgarian goat bag swings - goblet squats - curls in the squat 5-5-20 PVC rolled my back and right hip I feel good. Now the hard part is figuring out how much of this kind of stuff I can put into my regular training without interfering with my core lifts. I should get off work early tonight *crosses fingers* so I'll get to bed at a decent hour and hopefully get up and throw a bit tomorrow. ------------- "A single one of us can defeat your whole army.

2-6 Beginning phase 2 Waiting on the phone to ring so I did a little "conditioning(?)". 5x20 two hand swings with the 24k ball military press with the 16k balls This week I'm going to start doing a light conditioning session between every weight session. Trying to up my work capacity. Plus I'm spending a lot of time laying around on my anoose so I need a bit more work.

Last set of 5 on squats was way too hard. I developed a nice little knot in my back just below my right scapula on the first set of curls. Hands gave me hell on the dumbbell circuit. Did some standing broad jumps and tuck jumps before the first 3 or 4 squat sets. Good session and I learned a little something. I didn't realize how much a light conditioning session the day before can destroy a squat session. Change of plans. Β ------------- "A single one of us can defeat your whole army.

3-17 Happy Irish Stereotype Day! Warm up mowed the yard sprayed myself in the eye with spray paint(not on purpose) dislocates TKE's 1 Burgener Work Split cleans 135-155-175-185-205-225-245 x1 double overhand no hook to 205 straps 225-245 Deads Military press Push press 225-245-265-275 x1 New lifetime PR. I just push pressed my previous lifetime PR for the split jerk. I tried 300. I was going to go 295 but I figured if I could get that I could get 300 so if you're going to be a bear, be a grizzly bear. 300 felt good and it came off my chest real easy on with the leg drive, but I just didn't have the power to force the lockout. 300 overhead looks possible for this year. Stripped the bar, it fell out of the rack, nearly broke a mirror, and scared the doo doo out of everyone including me. Walked out. Drinking a Murphy's stout as a recovery drink. The highlight of the day was after I hit 265 I turned around and this young guy looks a bit shocked. He said "I wasn't expecting that. I thought you were going to do a front squat." The thick little gal with him was cracking up at the look on his face. Bodyweight is 221#. Not happy about this. ------------- "A single one of us can defeat your whole army.

3-19 Some throws. This stuff is exhausting. 5 standing throws - step out 5 standing throws - reverse 5 full throws GLIDE NINJA! Cut it short for a b'day gig. Having trouble with my right knee when I load up. Having trouble getting into a comfortable position. Reverse felt AWKWARD! Glide felt not ungood and I got a few more feet than my best standing throw. Not unhappy. ------------- "A single one of us can defeat your whole army.

3-25 Sick. Damn allergies. 12# shot 5 standing throws 5 step outs 5 full reverse 31' best 5 glide 36' best 5 MSA 32'-33' best Some really really bad throws a few not ungood throws. Flaws throughout. And they changed every throw. Starting the Speed and Power Block from Matt Vincent's book Training Lab. It's not really where I'm used to going in my training but I think it's what I need to focus on my throws. I'm not real excited about this simply because this type of training is real new to me and the blocks are longer than my normal training cycle but I'm going to trust in Matt's training plan. I've got a games at the end of week 5 and another at the end of week 15. So I can gauge my progress. ------------- "A single one of us can defeat your whole army.

3-26 warm up walk to gym a mess of stuff squats 45x10 135x3 185x3 225x3 255 9x3 bench 45x10 95x3 120x3 140 10x3 goodmornings 65x10 85x10 95x10 down slow explode up superset with dips 3x10 bodyweight 8 sprints on the sidewalk in front of the gym timed the first one as a 20" sprint and sprinted to that location for the other 7 rest periods were longish since I'm fat and out of shape walk back to the motel Some notes. This looked way easier on paper than it actually. I kept my ego in check and cut the percentage back but I failed to factor in that my max was a low bar power squat off a box and my current squat plan is a high bar olympic squat. It wasn't heavy just not fast. I don't know if I like Matt Vincent as much as I did before. That was kind of hard on a brother.
