Deathlifts, well with the heat, but really it is just a deadlift.

Tough but great workout tonight. Hottest one of the year so far. I was very motivated for tonight, as I wasn't sure if I was going to get to do the Gus as they scheaduled an event that weekend. But it seems my new boss is gonna try her hardest to let me have it off. So my spirits were high.

Strongman Sunday

This workout started like shit, I was sore as hell and tired but once I got past my first lift things went better.

Push Presses
160 x 3
190 x 3
210 x 6 just awful, this should have been at least 8 reps if not 9 or 10. Bad days happen, I get over it.

Farmers Walks
265 per hand x 3 sets of 80 feet, was gonna do 4 sets but I dropped the farmers on the 3rd set and figured I would take it as a sign to quit.

Car DL simulator
550lbs x 15 reps PR, should have went for more reps but a PR is a PR.

Keg Carry medley
250 and 200 keg x 80' each x 2 sets of wanting to die.

Keg Load
250 keg x 10 reps alternating with Troy.

Grip work.

Overall it was a good day, and I feel right on track. But there is a possibility that I might not get to compete, if that happens so be it, it will piss me off but its life.
