I haven't been slacking on my posting...just had 3 straight off days due to some family issues. But here goes...
SWOD:
Max Weight Farmers Carry, 100ft with a turn:
-65# (each hand), 105#, 155#, 195#
These got incredibly heavy incredibly fast. I made the last set with inches to spare, and my grip was completely torched.
Metcon:
"Triple Ladder" of Keg Clean and Presses, Tire Flips, and 173# Atlas Stone 10m Carry
-11 Rounds + 8 Reps of Keg Clean and Press = 74 reps
-10 Rounds + 7 Tire Flips (#4 tire) = 62 reps
-1 Round of Atlas Stone Carry = 1 rep
=137 Reps Total.
This workout was an awesome design that seemed to go on forever. We were close to 40 minutes by the end of the WOD. The keg presses were awkward, the flips brutal, and the atlas stone carry almost killed me. 173# is almost my body weight in stone form. It took me almost the entire minute to carry it 10m, with a long pause in the middle. But the stone never touched the ground, and it allowed me to do the metcon RX'd. I'm good with that...
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.
