Warmup:
50 ft. Yoke Carries:
175#, 275#, 375#, 475#, 575# (fail - I made it all 50 feet, however I stopped about 18 times along the way)
No matter how much my deadlift increases, or how many GHD situps or back extensions I do, heavy yoke carries seems to work a part of my back that I can't seem to target with any other strength movement. I'm absolutely smoked after these!
SWOD:
"McKenna"
15-12-9
-Atlas Stone Clean and Press (93#)
-Chest to Bar Pullups
I made it 8 clean and presses into the 2nd round (exactly 8 minutes) before having to stop to coach the 8am class. This is probably my fault for starting a WOD at 7:52 when I am scheduled to coach at 8, but it was still 8 brutal minutes. I was definitely on pace to beat my previous time, but I'm pretty sure I would have worn down as this WOD went along. Oh well, I will tackle it again in 8 weeks!
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.
