--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

felt like training again today since i got off work and was really bored


Axle Clean and Press

worked up to 260 x 3 (easy)
then tried 300 a million times and couldnt clean it.... i cant continental, i think i may be a lil lean for it or i dont have the technique down.... it just slides right down my abs and hurts like a bitch. I almost clean it straight up with a mixed grip, i may be better of with that technique

Keg Press

154 x 1
180 x 1
200 x 1
240 x a few tries, i almost got it, first time ever trying to press a keg, ill get it

Power Stairs

400 x 4 stairs
400 x 2 implements x 4 stairs (so 8 total) then 240 keg for 4 stairs, all in one shot..... pretty hard and worse part about power stairs is getting all the shit down

Axle Rows

worked up to 250 x 6 for 3 sets..... my grip sucks on these

Prowler

10 sprints of 180 feet with 90 pounds...... mixed low and high handles



i trained a lot today and im bout to go eat a lot now

Seems like the continental is easier for the heavy dudes with big guts. You can put a belt on to push any fat you have up (if you even have any), but be careful, Dione won't usually let you rest it on your belt... Darryl has hardly any ab fat so he has the same problem. At the plat show in Tx I saw one guy continental by leaning back so far his back was almost parallel to the floor.... ouch, but it worked.

Press Medlay

280log/260 axle / 120'ish circus DB / 240 keg

i did a few times, the best i got in 60 seconds was 3 implements(log/axle/keg.... couldnt get DB in time or at all with my left for that matter), i really suck at the circus db and my conditiong sucks on this event.... heres a vid of my first go at it, i messed up on my axle clean and a bunch of other things lol..... i think im going to do log, then axle, then keg, then cirus DB . My left shoulder is kind of messed up from HS football still (years and years ago!) so its very awkard for me and i have zero confidence in it. I must say, its a fun medlay though

dips / pull ups superset for 5 sets


good workout, need to work on that freaking circus DB and OH press conditioning.

[Mike_Mc2]

James, you getting ready for the contest the 1st week of January. BTW bro, you might want to do keg before axle since it's more awkward. Check out vids of Rob Orlando pressing the keg on youtube. Nice job on the training bro.
