Thanks guys. 385 was surprisingly easy today. I keep worrying that I am going to over do it without taking a deload every 4th week, but these past two cycles have gone just fine.

Push Press. Broke some PR's. Figured out my form for power cleans/hang cleans/whatever.

Clean & Press - clean the weight then push press for justice
Barx15
95x5
115x3
135x3
145x3
155x5 - PR +2 above prescribed
165x1
175x0
85x10x5 - 30 out of 50 done with no push from legs.

Kipping Chins
BWx3x4 - It may take a while before these would be considered decent, but its a start

Dips
BWx2x3 Have to work on getting deeper and not swaying, but better than before

Hang Clean
95x5x5 - Form was pretty good. Able to jump, catch the bar on my delts, land both feet at the same time. Pretty happy. Now I just need 90 more pounds in 6 days.

Good job on those C&Ps. That's one lift that covers just about everything.

Thanks OR. Its such light weight that I'm always surprised how much it takes out of me. Looking forward to 2PPS on it.

Sunday weigh in
254 even. Up 1 pound from last week. Not bad considering to 10-12k calories Tuesday night. Down 5.8 pounds from Thursday. Water uptake and release is an amazing thing.

Fun with tires.

Went to the next town over to practice cleans and flip a tire for a while.

185x0 - so damn close. slid off of my shoulders. Something popped in my left forearm after this and was very painful, so I stopped there. Arm feels ok now, but a little sore.

Tire time.
Big ass tirex 50 yards x2 trips.

This was enough. Plan on adding 1 more trip every week. This is my kind of conditioning. It was hard, but way more fun than running.

Good looking session!

[BendtheBar]

My kind of workout. Focused, simple and hard.

[BigJosh]

Awesome workout. Great intensity. Keep up the hard work!

[bruteforce]

Thanks. I really kind of prefer this sort of session to what I've done in the past. Once the strongman comp next weekend is done, I may look at switching things up a bit.

Here's my tire. 12 ply. Guessing 350-400 pounds? I've seen a fair number of videos of people with tires around this size saying 500 but it really just didnt feel that heavy.
