Cheers mate.

Still pretty beaten from yesterday but had a second session at Strength-tec whilst we were down here.

Warm up with kb swings

Deadlifts
50x5,5
70x5,5
90x5,5
130x5,5
170x3,3 d.o.h
210x3,3 switched to mixed and chalked up
230x1,1 failed the second rep each time. Think its mostly due to being fatigued from yesterday.

Tyre flip
180x5,3,2
440 failed about 6 times was close to getting it on the last go but just burnt out.

Yeah nothing impressive, but bit the bullet and thought if i start writing it down, i can at least look back when ive had a bad session and see ive still progressed a bit.

Events had a mostly fun session with brad segal. Hes getting stronger all the time!!

Bit of a Warm up

Axle
20kg 1clean 10presses
60kg 5clean and press x2
82kg 1 continental clean 5 press
92kg 1 c/clean 3 press
100kg x1 c/clean and press
100kg x1 c/clean and press
110kg × 1 belt clean, failed press but think its just from being tight after deads still.
Press felt so much easier in the new lifting shoes.

Tyre flip
230kg x10 singles
400+ lots of fails, barely moved it could not get into position at all. Think a bit was to do with just being tight again.

Farmers (knee sleeves on)
50kgx40m
70kgx40m
Soft belt on and worked on quick feet in converse, getting use to less cushioning in the sole..
90kgx40m
100kgx20 or 40m cant remember
110kgx20m
120kgx20m
132.5kgx20m speed was still ok
Put chalk on
140kgx5m hand opened up and didnt want to risk a calous 2 weeks away from comp. Easiest pick up 140 has felt.

Keg carrys (hugging them to replicate husslefelt stone, and trying to be quick as its no where near comp weight)
50kgx36m x2
85kgx36m x3. Hamstrings were burning out on last 5m.
