I definitely agree, I felt a lot stronger than last week. Also, the wraps were pretty loose.

Thanks swede, I love the strongman stuff. It is just a ton of fun, hopefully doing it again this weekend.

Wednesday Conditioning
Got out of work somewhat early, so I hit some very good work today.

Dynamic warm ups

A little over 1 mile jog (I hate running)

Sled Sprints
Just sled x 2 x 30 yards
45 x 6 sprints x 25 yards
*these were done in a rest pause manner, 15 deep breaths and then back at it
45x 2 x 50 yards
Sprinted there and walked back, walking with the sled is very difficult.

Core Work
Poor man reverse hyper 3 x 10
Decline Sit Ups- bw x 2 x 20, plus 25 x 2 x 15
Side bends 4 x 12 each side

Need to focus on core strength a lot more. Needs to be a focus, so I can lift heavier weights. Good session.

Good work Jeremy.

Thursday OHP
Pretty good session today, I need to play with the percentages on OHP. I think I need heavier weights working up and then a bigger drop off for the rep set.

Speed Bench
*all sets plus mini bands
135x3
155x6sets x 3 reps
135x3

OHP
95x5, 4
115x3
135x2
160x1
145x 13 Win, up one rep from last week
Felt very explosive on my first sets, need to hit a heavier weight before backing down.

DB Row, strict to save low back
80s x 12
120s x 2 x 8
130s x 3 x 6
120s x 2 x 10
Hit a lot more volume than I thought while doing these

Dips
BW x 15
plus 30 chain x 2 x 15
plus 30 chain x 14, 12
BW x 20, 16
Died on the last set, dips are feeling much stronger!

Neutral Pull Ups
BW x 3 x 10

Tricep Pushdown
150 x 3 x 20

Hit it pretty hard today, feeling good right now. Allowing my bodyweight to start to creep up a little. I know I have 2 weeks away coming up so I will probably drop some weight, but I will find a gym to train at somewhere. Bw tonight was 210, up a couple pounds in the last few weeks. Added in some peanut butter and a couple bananas at night. Delicious.

Training is going well, conditioning is getting much better while strength should be on the rise!!!

Congrats on the progress. One rep at a time.

Saturday Good Session
Hit some front squats yesterday, was heading to the beach so I got it in. Back is feeling good, need to keep hitting the core hard.

Front Squats
135x2x5
185x3
225x3
245x5 singles
Need to continue to work on these, wanted to stay light and keep my form tight.

Pull Throughs
Unknown weight x 3 x 15

Decline Sit ups
bw x 4 x 15-20

Poor Man Reverse Hypers
BW x 4 x 15

Good workout, good recovery. Hitting strongman later today, should be awesome.

Smash the strongman.

Strongman Sunday
Had a nice lazy sunday, waited for Boucher to get done for at 5 to train. We did a fairly quick session, it was terribly hot again here today.

Tire
A lot of warmups 4-6 sets of 1-2 flips
Timed Sets 1 Minute, 2 rounds
Round 1-I think 11 flips
Round 2- around 8-9 flips
Tough to keep track of the number of flips, 1 minute is a very long time when you are flipping a tire.

Circus Dumbell Kinda
(2 arm clean and 1 arm press, with fat gripz)
60 x 3 each arm
80s x 1 each arm
110s x 3 singles each arm
90s x 6 each arm to finish up
This is a very awkward movement on the shoulders, lots of stabilization when push pressing one DB

Good session, low back felt pretty good. Did not get any real pain. Going to wait 3 more weeks to deadlift, really because after next sunday I will be in phoenix for 2 weeks. So it will depend on what kind of gym I can find.

Work related?

Hopefully you get some good hotel rooms that treat your lower back well.
