Joni my friend,

I think your injury is well and truly past the point of being f**ked up again unless you do something really stupid, most of our sessions in the last...4-5 months you've said "ah it's pulling a bit/a lot/how's my hair" so don't sweat it and get yourself worried, it's never painful at the time so it is most likely just some normal soreness s**t mate.

The Plan looks good, but where is the YOGA?

i dont think i even feel the tendon on most sessions to be honest these days. of course in the start of the recovery and build up i did feel it all the time and had to thread a fine line.

I rather play it safe than sorry, damn if i have to go through that s**t again Grin

Yoga! A victim of the summer heat! In a f**ked up way in ayiengar yoga they do slow movements in the winter, and in the summer they do much more dynamic stuff, and i just cant take the heat in that non-aircon room Grin Thats my excuse anyway.

If its cool on tuesday i will NAIL IT!

Cheers buddy!

OLYMPIC SPORTS GYM

The plan was to take it easy with log - after all i have been going to max on every session for a while now. But what can you do when the cream of UKs (ex) oly lifting overhead beasts mark, kev, joe and travis start throwing big log weights around... Bloody inspiration!

warm ups and then...

LOG
5x62.5
1x82.5
1x102.5
1x107.5
fx110
2x102.5
2x102.5

happy with the doubles and the 107 - new territories both. Progress!

warm ups for medley
some farmers with 50 and 100 and couple flips with the tyre, and then:

Medley
80kg sandbag carry & load, 70-80kg barrel carry and load, 122 farmers for 15m, 2 flips with the tyre

Felt like the best of this medley i have done so far, encouraging! Time was not good but there was a lot of running from one thing to another, so its not really comparable. Farmers felt good as well.

Arm over arm
132kg on tyre x 20m - 38 secs, felt fast but could go faster with a bit longer pulls and faster recoveries.

& drag back.

Was that it? Took 3 hours!

Afternoon:
25 min run & some walking at didsbury park. Pretty tough for an unfit bas***d like me. Was cramping pretty bad in the end.

Icebath at home - "the things we do for our sport..."

No Grin

But the other lifts made up for it.

Funny thing was that shoudler were tired from the start, but the quality of lifting from the guys was inspiration enough to keep going.

3.5 weeks out. Time to nail 115 before? Greedy? Lets see... Grin
