Squat workout delayed til tomorrow. Just couldnt justify it today. I did get a captain of crush #1 as one of my gifts today. I opened it and was immediately able to close it with my right hand. Did it again to catch it on video.

Thanks, Hope you had a great christmas Duke.

Been dreading doing this I did a similar workout with Deadlift a while back. This was harder and more vomit inducing. Had to pick a goal pr weight for some kind of squat. If you failed you had to do a deathset with 50% of the goal weight. A deathset is 30 reps without letting go of the bar. Can rerack but cant let go. I was chasing a 300lb front squat and honestly I almost had it but didnt quite have it.

Front Squat
× 0 @ 300
x 30 @ 160 (beltless)
3 x 10 @ 160 (beltless)

3 minute power nap on the gym floor.

Fat Grip DL

Romanian DL (beltless)

Luckily the closest anytime fitness had a small log I could use. In Nebraska with my parents til tomorrow morning.

Log Press
2 x 1 @ 128 (Pause in the dip and drive)
6 x 10 @ 78

Program called for 82 lbs, but smaller log = longer rom so I decided to down regulate. Which worked out. After doing my 2 top sets I decided it would be best to finish Log out of the rack.

Pullups/chinups 5, 4, 3, 4, 3

DB Flat Bench 3 x 10 @ 55
Finger Curls 3 x 22 @ 70
Zottman Curls 7 x 12

Explanation on post #632

Did 3 rounds with 45lbs of plate weight. Pulled it to the opposite side. Have been doing all rounds right dominate. This week I pulled it left side dominate.

Next week is my reprieve from volume training for a week. Moderate triples is the plan, heavier variations and less muscle building stuff. Its more for mental purposes to avoid burnout.

Been doing real strength training for a few days over 3 years. Fucked around on machines and treadmills for the first couple months. Lost about 15 lbs. It was boring, even though I was getting the desired results. The week of Christmas 2015 I decided I was going to learn how to lift for real. I Benched, Back Squatted, and Conventional Deadlifted for the first time that week.

I remember failing to Bench the empty bar the first time I tried. I Back Squatted 95lbs, and Deadlifted 150lbs. I was probably around 183lbs in the first picture, weighed in at 208lbs 2 days ago. Started Overhead pressing and Front Squatting sometime in January/February.

I feel like 2019 is going to be a great year for me.

Conditioning:
6 KB Swings into 2 Sandbags over shoulder per side into 2 box jumps. 30 seconds of rest between rounds. Was originally going to do Mountain Climbers for the rest of the minute per round but after 2 rounds of that I decided that it wasn’t the best idea for my conditioning level. Ended up doing 12 rounds total.

Kettlebell was a smidge over 30lbs, and the “sandbag” was 40lbs. For some reason Torgue Kettlebells aren’t even numbers. They are like 31.5, 52.3,or 61.4 or something like that. Its one of those things that doesn’t really matter it just struck me as odd.

Was not in a good head space tonight and that is reflected in some of the decisions I made tonight.

DOH Deadlift x 1 @ 335

This felt hard so I didn’t try anything heavier double over.

Pause Front Squat

Looking at Monsters of the Mississippi on May 4th as my next strongman contest. Been eyeing it for a while but I am pretty much sold on going at this point. These are currently planned events.

New semester means slight changes to order of workouts during the week. Switched the Incline Bench workout to Thursday and Log Press to Monday.

Log Press
3 x 1 @ 128 (Pause in the dip and drive)
5 x 10 @ 82

Was doing some Overhead Squats with the empty log as a part of my warmup. Lost my balance at the bottom. Log swung forward and smashed into my shin. Lost a little skin and blood but otherwise not a big deal. A little sensitive to the touch though.

Pullups/chinups
8, 7, 6, 4, 3, 3, 3

DB Flat Bench 3 x 12 @ 50/hand
Laterals. 110 reps total.
Zottman Curls. 84 rep total.

Some light stretching.
