2/9/13 - strongman training

Training @ 815a

12" log up to 280x1, miss 300, 230x5, 280x1
Meldey 250# keg, 250# sandbag, 850# tire x 50 ft with runbacks x 2 sets. 1st = 2:23, 2nd = 1:51

Back still toasted from the heavy pulls on tuesday. Took a lot of effort to clean the 300 and just didn't have any push in it. Dropped down for some reps then took a stab at 280 again and it was cake. Medley was vicious. Keg and Sandbag were pretty easy but finishing with the tire was miserable. Wore a belt for the whole medley for the first round and couldn't catch a breath when doing the tire. Took it off halfway and finished. On the 2nd round I took the belt off on my way back to the tire and had a much better finish.

This was fun. Going to try to do something like this every Saturday for my conditioning. SM contest coming up on 3/2. I'm not even expecting to place, just going to hang out with a bunch of friends and see where I stand. Not going to kill myself 3 weeks before my HG pro debut.

Contest consists:

Last man standing log press starts at 210#
32# Crucifix hold
Car frame deadlift for reps (estimated 600ish)
110# monster db for reps
620/250 Yoke/farmers medley
225 keg, 225 sandbag,  240 husafell, 750 tire x50 ft w/runbacks medley

Should be fun.
