1 Rope Climb
3 Pistols (each leg)
3 HSPU
5 Back Extensions
SWOD:
1RM 50' yoke carries
175#, 355#, 455#, 495#, 535# (failed at 38')
Metcon:
"McKenna"
15-12-9
Atlas Stone Squat Clean and Press @ 93#

Cooldown:

The yoke carries were much tougher than I thought they would be. Having to stabilize that much weight while walking really engaged my core and crushed my legs. The metcon was the first work I have done with atlas stones (although I plan on incorporating them much more), and lets just say that it left me on the brink of passing out.
I'm 6 feet tall, 180lbs (maybe after Thanksgiving dinner), and I have trouble filling out the shoulders in a "smedium" t-shirt. But that doesn't mean I can't be strong. Don't be confused: this blog is not about how a hard gainer can pack on the pounds. It's unhealthy to put on useless weight, and quite frankly, I haven't figured out how to do it. This is quite simply a detailed account of how I train to be strong, even though I'm built like a 6th grader.
