Friday Quick Workout
I have to work tomorrow, so I decided to get a quick session in today. Nothing serious, did some zombie squats, I like them but I need a lot of practice.

Hang Cleans
95x2x5
135x3
155x1
185x2 singles
205 x 3 singles
185 x 5 singles
Just worked on form, and explosiveness. Felt good.

Zombie Squats
95x3x5
115x5
135x3x5
These were cool, really opened my eyes. I will start to do them more, I think I like them better than front squats. The motion felt more natural. It opened my eyes to movement patterns, I think I may have a slight twist in my squat, which probably is affecting my low back. I think the zombie squats could straighten that out.

Overall fun session, hopefully I do not work a full day tomorrow. Sunday I am going to sleep in and do some strongman training. I am fighting off a cold, some I am pounding the emergen-c love that stuff.

I've seen Tony try them but could never muster the urge to give them a go.

They are pretty cool, I will do them again

I tried the zombies aswell and was humbled by them. Tony does them with 400+lbs and thats impressive if anything! I agree about it being a very good exercise.

Sunday Strongman
Still fighting off a cold, but I slept in and felt pretty good. So I got a good session in. Log felt a little off, but still hit my numbers.

Log Clean and Press
105x2x5
145x4, 3
195x3
210x1
220x1
235x1
245x1
195 x 4 sets x 3 reps
The back off sets felt awesome! 235 felt very off, 245 went a little better. I have been wearing elbow sleeves and I am not sure I like them. I feel like they slow me down a little, but they do make my elbows feel good. Just gotta get used to them

Farmers and Keg Medley
-done like a shuttle run, farmers, run back, get keg run to farmers
Farmers 160 x 60 ft, ran back for keg
Farmers 210 x 60 ft , keg x 60 feet
Farmers 210 x 60 ft, keg x 60 feet, back forth
-2 runs with each implement x 2 round
Farmers x 160, keg x 60 ft
-2 runs each implement for speed

I hope that was not confusing, just think of it like a shuttle run. This was very difficult, felt like I was gonna die after these

Finished up with
Hang Snatch 95 x 10
Done, no more energy.

Feeling good right now, hopefully this cold is gone in the next couple days.

Thanks swede, the log is the first implement I used, so I really like it

Been very impressed with your pressing strength this last year.
