Upperbody day

Went over to Bryan's again to bench, I think it kind of threw me off my routine since it was a little later in the day but I will survive.

Wide grip bench
135 x 5 x 2
185 x 5
225 x 5
275 x 5 felt a pec twinge here
Slingshot close grip
315 x 3 stopped here.

DB flat presses
55 x 10
75 x 10
85 x 10
These helped to get blood into my pec.

Dips
3 x 10 these felt good should have done more sets

Pullups
3 x 5

Cheat curls
135 x 5
155 x 5

Kind of a abbreviated workout, but better than nothing.

Deadlift and upperback

I was actually gonna skip todays workout as I was tired as hell and figured what is it gonna hurt. Well after taking about a 45 min nap, I remembered that my buddy Bryan had to work until 7pm and he needed to workout. So I texted Bryan and asked him if wanted to lift at his house, sure enough he did. Man am I glad he did.

Power cleans
these felt shitty today, so I just did some light work.
205 x 2 x 4 sets

Deads
275 x 5
315 x 5
405 x 3
475 x 7 easy but only had enough in my thumbs for 7, last week I got 455 x 7 so things are coming back around. 10 was easily within reach today

Bent over rows
225 x 5
245 x 5
275 x 5
295 x 5
315 x 5 PR

Great night, glad I didn't skip it.

Strongman day

The family and I went and hung out with some friends last night and I ate like shit, but enjoyed it. But today I was paying for it, my stomach is in shambles. As it stands right now I have taken 5 huge dumps and know there is more waiting. Plus anytime I put my belt on I wanted to puke. Oh well gotta have fun every now and then. Still was a decent workout.

Axle clean and press
110 x 5
160 x 3
200 x 3
225 x 5 sloppy as shit but I got 5, better then nothing.

Power stairs
300 x 15 reps to box not bad

Farmers
240 a hand x 50 feet x 3 trips speed was good stopped at 3 as knee was getting wierd.

Stones
330 x 1
405 x miss, miss, miss
360 x miss, miss
Well good part I was able to go to the 330 with no warmups with other stones, should have done the 360 next as the 405 took all my energy, I almost had it lapped. Not sure what my problem on stones is but I will figure out soon enough.

Sled drags
500 lbs x 4 sets of 50 feet

Overall not a bad day, just wish some things would come back quicker than others.

Jesse

Squats and such

Box squats
140 x 5

300 x 2 x 8 sets didn't feel bad, decent explosion. Knee held up.

KB snatches
96lb x 5 x 3 sets this kicked my ass

abs
3 x 20

Calf raises
3 x 10

Short and sweet. Hoping to have a great workout on sunday.

Upperbody workout

Didn't know what to expect from todays workout. I got a 1 hour massage yesterday, granted it was a from massage chair, but that damn thing worked good. I was sore in different areas today and I should have known this to happen, but I didn't. My upperback felt very worn down, still I had a decent workout.

Wide grip bench
135 x 5 x 2 even this felt crappy
185 x 3
225 x 3
275 x 1
300 x 1
320 x 1
Been a couple months since I have done this, so it felt nice to get 3 plates again.

Close grip bench
250 x 5 x 3 sets

Dips
bodyweight x 5
+35 x 5 x 3 sets

Extensions
3 x 15

Grip work.

Kind of cut the assistance short, next week time for more reps.

Jesse

Deadlift and upperback

Overall today was a decent workout, my knee was feeling 50% better so I figured push it while I can. Cleans were ok but I couldn't do reps like I wanted, in hindsight I should have done multiple sets.

Power Cleans
135 x 3 x 2
185 x 3
205 x 3
225 x 2

Deadlifts
top set 455 x 7 had more but thumb didn't, this is better though and my dead is coming around again.

Tbar rows
4 x 8

DB rows
3 x 15

core work
4 sets

I am feeling a lot better. I went back to basically eating like I am carb cycling. Eating paleo is good but I get too many cravings. With carb cycling I don't get my cravings and I am eating good food still. Only plan for now is to just go with the flow and see what happens.

Strongman day

Well today was a better day than last week, but I still feel dissapointed.  But gotta take what I can get.

Axle clean and press
150 x 5
200 x 3
215 x 6 not bad, legs ran out of power

Axle DL double overhand
250 x 5

farmers/sled drag medley
280 farmers/ 400 sled
Only made it 35 feet with farmers, no way I could pick them back up as I felt like I was gonna pass out. So I went and pulled the sled. Gotta work the grip, granted it is very hit and miss for me.

Stones
310 x 1
330 x 1
360 x miss
A lot better than last week.

That was it for today, it is progress but I want to come back quicker. Gotta take what you can get though. Still was a fun day with my friends.
