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.

Monday 7.16.12
Warmup:
-Back Squat: 45x5, 135x4, 185x3, 235x2
-Strict Press: 45x5, 75x4, 95x3, 115x2
-Deadlifts: 135x5, 225x4, 315x3, 405x1
CrossFit Football Strength:
REST.
CrossFit Football Conditioning:
"10,000 Pounds"
Complete 10 Rounds for Time of:
1 Back Squat @ 365#
1 Strict Press @ 185#
1 Deadlift @ 455#
I had to scale the weights down to 280 BS, 130 SP, and 435 Deadlift, and complete 12 rounds in order to complete the 10,000lb requirement. However, in my 9th round I completely lost my ability to pull my deadlift anymore. Rather than risk an injury, I finished out the squats and presses for the last 4 rounds and called it a day.
29:31.
