Deadlift day and whatever else.

Good and bad day today. I finally hit a wall on my deadlifts, today I felt like a wreck.

Power Snatch
95 x 3 x 2
115 x 3
135 x 1
145 x 1
150 x 1
155 x 1

DL from floor
245 x 3
335 x 3
385 x 3
440 x 3
515 x 1 wow this felt like SHIT! So I decided it was time to shut it down.

Frame Carry
600lbs x 60 feet no drops. Alltime PR on the frame, highlight of my workout.

Bent over rows
245 x 8, I was gonna do 3 - 4 sets of this but Chuck wanted to do stones.

stones
310 x 3
310 x 2

Wow, shouldn't have done this. My biceps were killing me after this. I did stones on sunday and shouldn't have done them today. Live and learn.

Blast strap rows
5 x 10

I was shot at this point, wanted to do core work, but I needed to call it a night.

Overall I got a nice PR on power snatch and the frame so it was worth some of the pain.

Quick workout

Mac came over to do a overhead and squat workout. So I decided to do a small workout, while I was out there chatting with him.

KB Clean and press
96# KB x 10 each arm. Don't know where this came from, I have never done more than I believe 8 with this KB. Next I wanna get 10 each arm clean and pressing each rep.

Pullups
1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1

That was it. Nice and refreshed. Mac looked good today, hit some nice numbers on the axle and squats.

Super Yoke
just did pickups with
450

800 x 35-40 feet maybe, this is a PR but until I take this damn thing the full 60 feet I will not take it. Not sure what my problem, mainly I haven't been training yoke.

Upper body day

Today was just okay. With everything that has been going on with our house, I have been rather stressed and I couldn't use that fire in my workout.

Strict presses
140 x 3
160 x 3
180 x 6 almost had 7 it was so damn close.

Close grip bench
185x 5
235 x 5
265 x 8

Dips
5x 5

pressdowns
5 x 10

Some pullups and grip work. Then after having a decent workout, I come inside and for some reason my knee decides to just go out on me. The fucking thing hurts like hell right now, and I have no clue what I did or how I did it.

Deadlift night

Well first I gotta say tonight was a great workout, but I am not happy with what happened. I will explain in a minute.

Deadlift from the floor, just a belt
135 x 5
225 x 5
315 x 3
405 x 3
495 x 1
525 x 1
565 x 1 Alltime RAW pr
585 x miss nothing left
Ok so my plan was to probably go for 600 tonight. But warmups were feeling terrible, usually this is a good sign, but the more I warmed up, the worse I felt. I probably would have gotten the 585 if I would have jumped to that instead of the 565, but a PR is a PR. Most people will say "Why can't you be happy, you pulled a PR!" Well I think that what makes people who are happy with 2nd place, different from those who aspire to be the best. Hell I have won contest and still found things I was not happy with. I aspire to be the best and not getting my goals is not gonna cut it.

Frame carry
570 x 60 feet PR never doen this without drops

DB rows
3 x 8

Blast strap rows
3 x 20

Abs
5 x 20

Event training day

Log press, wow hadn't done this in a long time. Didn't go that bad.

140 x 5
190 x 3
220 x 3
240 x 1
Did one-motion presses up to 220. The 240 would have been alot better had I actually got some leg drive on it. Since Troy and Joe are training the log I will probably be doing this for a little while. It would be nice to finally get a PR on the damn log. My best is 250, so I don't think getting a PR is that far off very soon.

Incline Log press
230 x 8 PR

18" deadlift
250 x 5
340 x 3
430 x 1
540 x 1
600 x 5 PR

Stones
250 x couple
360 x 1 x 3 sets

Hammer curls
3 x 10

Overall it was a good day. It felt good to do the log again, even though I hate it. Everybody was having a good day for the most part. I am looking forward to Tuesday, I plan on going for a BIG deadlift PR!!!

Jesse

Lower Body workout

I can't believe how well this workout went, cause I felt like shit going into it.

Close stance squats no belt
135 x 5 x 2
225 x 5
280 x 3
320 x 1
360 x 3 PR
400 x 1 PR
The 400 was easy, so easy I should have done reps, but I will save it for another day.

DB slds
3 x 10

Ab fallouts
3 x 10

Calf raises
3 x 10

I was shot after the squats so I kept the accessory work light.

Looking forward to event training on Sunday, something big is gonna happen.
