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.

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

Went back and did 405 x 1 again

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

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.
