What to do
Ok week for training, I am feeling better and getting back into the swing of things.
Thursday Upperbody
Push Presses out of rack
200 x 2 x 2
210 x 2
Down set
135 x 10
My press sucks right now, this is just pathetic.
Incline Press
135 x 5
155 x 3
175 x 3
185 x 1
195 x 1
205 x 1
I am weak pussy right now
Mid Grip bench
5 x 10
Dips supersetted with band extensions
5 and 15 for 3 sets
forearms
3 x 30
Friday lower body
Power Cleans
185 x 1 x 3
205 x 1 x 3
215 x 1 x 3
Squats
230 x 10
KB high swings
2 x 5
abs
2 x 20
I came up with the crazy idea of trying to make 190lbs, but really I am starting to wonder what the fuck am I thinking. It would be a great goal, but I will look very small at this weight, the only reason I wanna do it is for a highland games and be able to qualify for the 190lb nationals. But honestly I am a strongman and a powerlifter, I like the highland games alot and will be doing more of them but is it really worth the sacrifice of losing strength? I gotta make a decision and do it soon.

Getting back on track.
Been taking it easy for the most part, had some aches and pains that I had to let heal. Luckily things feel like they are coming back around. Did an ok workout today.
Hip Snatches
95 x 2 x 3 sets
105 x 1
115 x 1
125 x 1
Sumo pulls

295 x 3
335 x 3

405 x 1
425 x 1
450 x 1
475 x 1
This felt good and easy, but I felt something pull in my left pec and decided I better stop.
Was gonna do some high box squats, but my back told me different, so I listened to it.
DB rows supersetted with Blast strap rows
8 and 10 for 3 sets
4th set 20 reps each
Finished up with some AB work.
I am gonna follow through on my goal of getting leaner, I really don't have much in site for competing right now so I will work on getting my weight down and getting rid of fat. It is gonna be hard and that is why I am gonna do it.

Week in review
Been in quite bit of pain this week as I did something to my back at the NAHA nats. Not sure yet what I did, but I do know it has been hindering me this week. Today I was finally able to do something without pain.
Close stance squats
135x 5 x 3 sets
185 x 5
225 x 5
Hang Cleans
135 x 5 x 3 sets
Green band abs
3 x 20
Overall feeling better. I still don't know what is on the horizon as far as competitions go. I have too much on my mind right now to decide.

NAHA nationalsl
Well I competed in the NAHA nationals this past weekend. Unfornately the results I wanted didn't happen but I least made 200lbs again, and had a good time.
1st event
Axle press for reps 220lbs
Unfornately only got 1 rep, my back tweaked when I brought the weight back down so I decided that I might as well stop. My overhead strength is really in the dumps right now and I must figure it out. Last place
2nd event
Braemer Stone
Got 3rd place on this, I hate this event with a passion and I have a lot of work to do to get better at it.
3rd event
LWFD 28#
In practice I had been consistently getting over 40', here today the best I could manage was 36' lousy feet. Not sure what was up with me but after watching the video I did everything wrong. 3rd place
4th event
500# tire flip
finished in 44.xx 2nd place, I could have been alot faster here, but I was getting exhausted from the heat.
5th event
WOB 42#
cleared 13', but should have opened higher. I wasn't sure how my back was feeling and didn't want to mess up. 3rd place
6th event
Keg carry and load
200, 220, 250 20 feet away over 48" bar
Finished in 22.xx 1st place
I finished in 3rd place overall. I left alot of points on the board in events I should have done better on, but it is over with now and I just have to look to the future. I am not sure what is on the horizon for me right now. I plan on doing a highland games next month and I think putting on 10lbs of quality weight would really benefit me for getting more distance on certain events, also I need to practice alot. Second I think I am gonna do powerlifting meet in November, I would like to go to Reno for the NAS Nationals but it close to my wifes birthday and Thanksgiving so really not the best timing. As much as I want to be a national champion it is not worth spending the money. I can 10 meets for the price of doing the big one.
