95/135x8

275x10
295x10x2 - these sets were @8.5-9
My left vmo was still pretty damn sore today, right somewhat too. Almost to the point where i elected to push today off to tomorrow. Probably shouldve as it was bugging me during these, but whats done is done. Tomorrow is off, tuesday will be log, aiming for wed for next lower session but will push it to Thursday if i have to. This would be a perfect scenario to have an x-wife, boomstick, pain pill, whatever. It’d be brutally painful but super effective.
•Farmer carry (60% x10s, add 5% til fail to go 50 ft in 10s)
150x50ft
163.5x50ft (used kg plates for the exact 5% but after this said f that and just made 15lb jumps)
175x50ft
190x50ft
205x 50ft in 10s then turn w/ no drop and made an ugly return trip without dropping.
I was sick of changing weights. Still got good work in.
•Yoke push on turf (work up to a difficult d&b set)
185 x45ft each way
275 x45 “ “
365 x “ “
455 x “ “
505 x “ “

•GHR (3x10-12)
Bw x10x3 between d&b of 1st 3 sets - these hurt like hell with sore quads lol.
Had standing abs planned too but farmers took way too much damn time. Only reason im doing them instead of suitcases is im considering entering a comp the first weekend of april in Carol Stream, IL. We’ll see if i can talk myself into it. Entry fee & strongmancorp membership fee are more of a deterrent than anything. Hyde, Jess have anything going on that weekend? Its a nats qualifier.
Id probably just go novice > 231 since realistically its doubtful i could do anything other than the farmers, the ligher log for 1-2, waddle the keg/sandbag for a bit, and MAYBE a stone or two in the 264 HW class. Just sounds more fun to actually have a chance at being borderline competitive in the novice class.
