Training at lunch today -- pressed for time, leaving off the Pendlay finish (8@9) until later.
Warm
day, humid. Started with dynamic work, B-Ala/creatine, Craze, Ndure,
and very little bar work -- made big jumps to working weight. Still a
little tired from maxing Sunday.
Squat x4@9 + -0%: 300kg, felt heavy, didn't have any more. Once again, it wasn't quads that gassed.
2-count DL x4@9 + -0%: 250kg, felt great. More like 8.5, may have had another jump.
Watched
Mike's paused DLs and discovered I've been doing them differently -- I
never put the bar down. I drop back to start and stop just short of the
floor and come back up. I don't reset on the floor, mainly because the
temptation exists to just leave it there. I think I'll stick with my
way unless told otherwise. I do tap the floor maybe 50% of the time,
but I take it up a degree and do the pause.
I have to find a comp for my 13-yo stepson to compete in before Christmas. If anyone knows any PL or strongman comps on the left coast (or wherever, for that matter) that will take a kid, please let me know via comment, PM, or email. Thanks.
Not bad today. I needed it -- been feeling a strange anxiety the last couple of days. I think maybe some deliverables are catching up to my subconscious and dragging me around the yard, if you know what I mean. I needed the sweat. Wish I had a prowler to push around the block, frankly.
More later. Back to the office to sweat -- so sexy.
