brutal saturday....

went out for event training yesterday. started out with my training partner at his place.  we did log press and stones. log went 140,170,185,200, 220.
felt it in my forearms doing the clean portion. something i need to watch for.
if i make a slight adjustment to my top position then i feel no pressure or pain. so there is promise.  next we did stones. the tacky was not cooperating in the heat and humidity. i did put the 250lber on a 54" platform. then i  put up the 270 and 300 back to back. very happy with that!


headed out to train with some other strongmen. it was brutally hot and humid and no shade to be found. it was also fun...yes fun. bunch of new faces and some strong dudes. got to train with a pro too, The Wolverine Brad Dunn.  did yoke and zercher carries. worked up to 610 on the yoke. when i stood up with it i felt like i had a ton on my back. think i went 40 feet with it. the zercher were brutal and my arms have the bruises to prove it...
worked them to 400 lbs and walked 50 feet.

i paid the price for this training. sore, bruised, sunburned and tired.
