This evening was my first experience dragging the sled. I actually had a good time! My hips were on fire! And I stumbled around a bit after unleashing myself from the sled.
Forward Drag 90 pounds x 80 yards - 5 times Backward Drag 90 pounds x 80 yards - 2 times, then 90 pounds + an 80 girl from the gym x 80 yards - 3 times
Mike, I'm trying to borrow a sled from a friend, but until then I've been doing substitute stuff like pulling a weighted wheelbarrow and pushing my car. It's actually been working pretty well.
Week 3 Calories 4975 Protein 282 Fat 228.5 Carbs 450
The amount of protein is a little lower than I would like it to be. Again, the amount appears high but this can be attributed to red meat, peanuts, etc.
I'm still lingering around 245ish. I'm making an effort to be more consistent with the high calories again and hope that helps me add a few more pounds. The appetite...I'm actually getting tired of eating.
First, I'd like to post a video from August 3rd where I was struggling with keeping everything tight and my elbows were flaring out like crazy. I've been focusing on fixing that problem and my form has changed drastically.
Bench Press 225 x 5, 275 x 5, 315 x 5 , 325 x 5PR! 4-Board Presses 315 x 3, 345 x 365 x 3 5-Board Presses 375 x 3, 390 x 3 PR!, 415 x 3 PR! 3" Pin Presses 365 x 3 PR!, 405 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 PR! Front/Side Raises Superset 20 x 10, 30 x 10
I do not feel quite as explosive as I have in the past, but I know that when the weight comes off my chest that I am going to finish. That confidence resulted in numerous PR's for the day!
Thanks Mule...elbows are tucked, feet are pulled back, working that arch, building tricep strength. I'm looking forward to your next suggestions.
And Spatts, as you recall, you wanted PR's. You got 'em!
Bigguns15...thanks for encouraging me to move more weight!
