    Contest prep with X Gels and Alphamax

    Little dialogue. Lots of action. I enjoyed it. Not an award winner, but entertaining.

    Contest prep with X Gels and Alphamax

    Last post, fellas! I made weight easily on Friday night. Then, I smashed a ribeye and baked tater. Washed that down with a little beer and bourbon. Caught Mad Max as well. Competition day went well. I was competing against a multiple time national competitor. Pushed him all day. Even won an...

    Did a trial weight cut. Ok. Full disclosure. I did it so I could drink today. Gotta be honest with you guys. Lost 4 pounds in 30:00. 20:00 light workout in plastics and a 10:00 Epsom salt bath. Boom! I'll be ready to make weight Friday. Way better than dieting. The compliments keep coming...

    Last big event day before the contest... Axle C&J 200x7 in :60 It was a smooth 7. Feel pretty good about that number. I'll be shooting for 8-9 on contest day. Stone to 54" The 300# stone was not at the gym today. We loaded 285 to 54" for practice. I attempted the 340 stone. I lapped it. It...

    I feel like it kicked in within 2 weeks. I was over a notch on the belt pretty fast. Keep at it!

    Veins are popping more. Way more vascular than I used to be. Midsection is more lean. This training micro cycle is taking its toll. Pretty exhausted at this point. Two weeks from Saturday is the big day. Gotta push on a bit more. 14" axle DL @ 400 :60x3 sets 17,15,15 Farmers hold @ 230/hand...

    PR Monday I'm done with 2 bottles of X Gels and 1 of Alphamax. Everything is back on track for this week. I can feel it. A positive attitude was the first change. Behind the neck split jerk 265x2 My previous best was 245x1. Holy crap. Have not done a split jerk in forever. Took video. I was...

    First tournament ever. Had some legit kids in his bracket. He went 0-2 but he's only been doing it 3 months. Match 1 he put together a great combo, but just didn't finish. His opponent eventually pinned him. Match 2 he ran at the kid. Not smart. It's judo. He got tossed. Good experience...

    Conditioning Sunday A buddy brought over a few new tires. This one should be about 600 pounds he says. WRONG! This bad boy is filled with steel cord and HUGE. Team tire flips were put on the workout agenda after I tried to budge it. 20:00 AMRAP Teams of 3 One person runs 200m while two...

    Schedule is a mess this week. Had a Daddy Daughter dance last night and a judo tourney today. I found out that it doesn't matter how old girls are...you still get treated the same way. I bought her dress, corsage, dinner, and she left me right away for her friends. Sheesh. Pretty crap week...

    Today I was a whiny, tired, complaining ass. Just didn't have it in me today. My workout suffered because of this. Axle continental C&J :60x3 sets @ 160 10,9,11 Not bad. Worked on my technique. Kinda sick of C&J. Sub :08 yoke for 50' and 500 pound tire flip for 50' (medley style) 240/500...
