Another Fun Sunday, 10-12-03

[b fold the truth]

We had fun today and PR's were set by all.

On the GM's we decided to use this as a day to work on our least favorite stance on these. Cheese took a wide stance and I took a narrow one (about shoulder width or maybe slightly closer from 40". I feel ten kinds of uncomfortable doing these. I can't straighten my knees OR arch my back from this deep and this stance. I can't push my abs out either...or it is very difficult like this.

please right click and 'SAVE TARGET AS'!!!!!

545

375 farmers. REALLY wanted the 50', it was my goal. I held it in my finger tips for the last 5'...lol. THOUGHT that if I hurried (as much as one can with 375 in each hand) that it might make it...lol. Came up 6" short (and Cheese liked to remind me of that all day...lol). Time for more grip work.

350 H-Stone...felt good and might actually be good training for the Conan's Wheel.

 

[b fold the truth]

310 to 61"

345 1st attempt...not sure why I moved my left foot back...

2nd Attempts...what you don't get the first time you probably aren't getting the 2nd time

365 Stone

 

[b fold the truth]

Ashley, A.K.A. The Freak, had a good day too.

145 Farmers for 50', easy

166 Farmers for 50', probably could have gone 100'+

240 H-Stone for 100' with 1 turn...for 2 sets
It was like she was packing Cheese around

375 Wheel for 1/2 turn...easily

425 Wheel for 1/2 turn...little harder, PR weight

465 Wheel for 1/2 turn...pretty intense...PR!!!!

 

[b fold the truth]

160 Stone

190 Stone...PR!!!

Getting the 230 to come off the ground...WOW!!!

 

[b fold the truth]

Brad came out today...we will call him Brad Rollins

He has been here a time or two, super super guy and a hard-core mountain biker. VERY hardcore person...and works really hard.

555 Wheel for 1/2 turn...INTENSE...PR!!!!

235 Farmers for 20', rest 1 minute, then pick up and finish the 50' PR!!!

350 H-Stone x 100' with a turn..he LOVED this event and was good at it too.

 

[b fold the truth]

Cheese had a strong day as well, worked hard as usual...but the 'bad stanced' gm's took a lot out of him also.

427 GM, PR!

Went back and did 405 x 1 again

285 Farmers x 30' or so, picked them back up till he finished the 50'

350 H-Stone, another good event for Cheese

 

[b fold the truth]

345 stone, first time doing it in months...

 

[kingc_79]

nice gm man..congrats on the pr and congrats to cheese on his gm also...ashley is outrageous...that girl is very talented.

 

[b fold the truth]

Jason suprised us and showed up to train today. Said that he had some weaknesses that he saw at Nationals...and it was time to bring them up. Worked HARD today too...considering he did Nationals a few days ago...

285 farmers x 50'...NO DROPS!!! PR!!!!

350 H-Stone x 100' with one turn

He also missed the 310 stone several times then came back to load it like a champ!!!!!! Last time he did that he was about 25+ pounds heavier.

 

[b fold the truth]

Here is a pic of the lizard that was holding down the barrels for us today

All in all a good day for everyone. We all set PR's on something and had a 'building' day on other events. Hopefully we are setting ourselves up for some big PR's in the next few months and there is a chance that all of us are getting ready for Boston.

Time for more alleve, ice, heat, and e-stim on my back. The log may get a good laugh at me again tomorrow...lol.

Enjoy...

[Lord_Suston]

Clint good job on the farmer's, maybe you should try static holds with the farmers using the weight you will use at boston. Might get you use to holding the weight for time

Ashley is sick, I wish my gf was that strong. Maybe not she wouldn't take any of my shit, and kick my ass.

X-280 man shit

well its not like you wouldnt be getting stronger too, so you would still be stronger.

but me and Trinity are excited about getting to train with bfold again, and she is excited to see ashley in person.

thanks LS - im trying to get to 300 by jan 01 - then try and stay that same weight the whole year. so by jan 01/2005, i will be a lot leaner.

[Cochise (M-Wave)]

B-fold and Jason dang good job on the farmers.

Ashley, you are a freak!!!! ( I say this in the most tender and loving way I know how)

Exodus, I hope to see you and the wife next weekend.

 

[b fold the truth]

Skinks are cool, wish we had them around here...

Clint, do you only workout on Sundays?

I train 4x per week in the gym, one of those days carries over to events outside. I do near something every single day though, sled dragging, agility work, stretching, warming up sore muscles, etc...
