Not such a happy easter workout

Today was not a total loss, but I was bound to have a shitty workout, and I would classify today as a shitty workout.  I have been sleeping fucking horrible and it just really caught up with me today.

Push Presses, my plan was to work up to a 1 rep new PR, that didn't happen
95 x 2
135 x 2
165 x 2
195 x 2
215 x 1
235 x 1
Stopped here these felt immensely heavy

Log Strict Press
180 x 3 x 3
These felt like shit also.

Keg Carry at hip
270 keg x 80 feet x 2 sets
Holy shit that sucked but probably the best part of my workout.

Keg Load over bar
200# keg x 10 reps

Pulls to face 3 x 10
Band pullaparts 3 x 10
Standing abs 3 x 20

Gripper 3 x 20 each hand

Not the worst workout, but I wanted more, I will push the prowler to punish myself tomorrow.

Upperbody night

Going into tonights workout I was quite worried that today was just gonna suck. So I got home and relaxed for a couple hours instead of just going right into the gym. Turns out it was the right idea.

Log Viper Presses
165 x 2
185 x 2
205 x 7 Big PR

Close grip bench
205 x 3
235 x 3
265 x 6 no spotter didn't want to push it

Band Pressdowns
4 x 25

Some neck lift

Some grip work

That was it for today, I was getting really tired so I figured stop while it was still good.

Deadlift night, and proud husband and father

Worked out with Josh, and my daughter and my wife. It was really a great night of lifting, I think having some nice weather lifted up my spirits.

Deadlifts
135 x 5
225 x 5
315 x 3
405 x 8 deadstop each rep and all hook gripped. These were pretty easy, only problem I had was my damn belt kept slipping in the back, so I probably wasn't pushing my abs out as hard as I should.

Farmers Walks
220 each hand x 80 feet x 4 runs
Not too bad, not as fast as I would like, but the weights felt super light and my grip never felt weak.

DB rows supersetted with bodyweight rows
100lbs on rows x 10 and x 10 on bodyweight rows x 3 sets

Seated rows
5 x 10

Abs
2 x 20

Prowler Medley
Low handle x 60' high handle 60' x 3 sets

That was it, hating myself right now but looking forward to getting strong again.

My wife did great tonight deadlift 225 x 3 super easy and doing them double overhand, not to brag but she definitely has an above average grip, not elite but way above average. My daughter did great tonight setting a 5 rep PR on the bench with 54lbs and a 5 rep PR on the hack lift with 115lbs.

Event training and such

It snowed yet again, granted now it is all melted but it wasn't earlier so we couldn't really do much outside without risking falling on our asses.

I started out doing push jerks but they hurt my knees too much, so I switched to push presses
165 x 1
195 x 1
225 x 1,2,3,4,4.9 came so close to getting the 5th one, this is some kind of PR, it has to be a rep PR and volume wise I was happy to do this many reps.

Strict Press with log
170 x 9 wanted 10 but I couldn't get it.

Single arm DB press
55lbs x 5 reps each arm x 2 sets

Car Deadlift simulator
550lbs x 10 reps in like 25 sec, my plan was to do 10 as fast as I could, this felt really good, and I am sure I could have done 20 in 60. But I will save that for another day.

Keg Squats
250 keg x 5 x 3 sets

Bunch of grip work

Leg Raises
3 x 10

Jesse

Feeling good, I might do some moving events tomorrow if the ground is dry.

Squats and such

Decided to go to a local what I would call "hardcore gym" When I use the term hardcore I mean people actually come to this place to train and get stronger, not fucking dick around. It is nice every now and then to get out of my gym and see other places, tonight didn't disappoint.

Back Squats
135 x 3 x 2
185 x 2
225 x 1
275 x 1 added belt
315 x 1
345 x 1
370 x 1 not too shabby, left me wanting more, but save that for 3-4 weeks.

Leg Extensions
5 x 10
downset
1 x 25

45 degree Hypers
5 x 5 agains't mini band

Sumo Pulls
3 x 3 using axle

Yoke push/Yoke run medley
just 350lbs x 5 sets of 35 feet each so 70 feet total, this really smoked my legs on the push

Hyper abs
5 x 20

Great night.

Upperbody workout

Was rushed going into tonights workout, its not like it was a bad workout but I just wasn't happy with the result. But after looking at things, it is progress.

log x 3
