230x10 had a couple more in the tank
230x10 barely locked out the last rep
220x8 again here, barely locking out the last with my left arm. Not sure what’s up with my left but it feels out of groove or something.

Quick but PR day for volume on strict log. Wanted 3 sets of 10 but even with a stripped set of 220, 10 is just out of the cards for now. Might try 3-4x8 next time with 240.

455x80’ 5.7 seconds and like 5.5 for a 40’ distance. Decent speed.
455x80’ about 5.3 seconds this time. Can probably do a bit faster but I’m being sort of cautious.
Ultimately not happy with how it feels but what can I do. Trying to actually turn yoke into a stronger event. It’s by far my worst event.

Did not enjoy the top sets. Felt awful and slow. I seriously have my work cut out for me on yoke, but no excuses.

230x7, failed 8th, just not enough strength for a 3x8 with this amount of weight. Still, really good volume PR for me. Will go for 3-4x6 with 250-255 soon. Maybe 5s with 270 another time.

Realllll easy upper day considering the accessories. Right forearm is bugging me so I’m just trying to avoid doing too much to exacerbate the issue.
High Bar Back Squat

315x10 really, really easy. Gas off tho as i cant afford the DOMS right now, nor do I have any reason to test volume with like 100 sets of 10.
I’ll probably start rotating back and front squats weekly but alternating intensities. Idk. High bar feels good even though I haven’t trained it in about 6 years.
Sandbag (about face at halfway)

200x80’ aaaaand the bag ripped+out of gorilla tape.
275x60’ easy lap, easy run. Comfortable for not touching sandbag in a bit.

Easy accessories, just working on blood flow. Great moving day. Cant remember a time sandbag felt so damn good.
This is a seriously good effort. This would be like picking up a 20 stone drunk guy and running down the road with him. Hat off to you mate you are killing it right now.
@simo74 Haha, thanks man. I’m feeling really strong and healthy, just have to coast on the strength gains and back off here and there. I always find it easy to train hard and get strong but to sustain and be prudent is always a challenge when you just want to push harder.
5/13/21 - Bw 234 really fuckin awesome Log day. Bw is a bit down from slightly lower calories but feeling okayish.

275x6 these were all really smooth but certainly challenging. At no point did I think I’d fail a rep and possibly had an extra rep on each set if I pushed it. Then again, an extra rep on set one would probably deduct from strength on latter sets.

Sort of conservative ramp up to more volume on accessories since last few sessions have been lacking thereof.

295x1 really easy, my PR is 335, I think and my press is strong enough to break that but I am not fit for these atm, bu it’s nice to have fun. Pls dont judge me.
