Chris- no, no, not thick handles, that would probably even be tough for bananna hand Brouse. These implements have a slightly thicker handle (1/8" at most) and are a little slick, torpedo style (lower pick).

You spelled banana wrong.

Also, do we want to vary up to higher rep stuff at all for the pressing? Or maybe do some rest-pause work until we can train medley's...?

I give you a bannanna, however its spelled...

Yes, we should go back to that for the pressing. I think we have already been through about twelve weeks so time to start cycling back in a week or two; need to reconfiguring some max.

Toke Friday off b/c Sat. was a combination of the two days for this expo Golds Gym deal; anyway...

These will be more like highlights than a training session b/c of how it was set up.

Yoke:

60ft

340, 430, 520, 680, 770

The 770 felt pretty quick and may have been the most I have done without a belt.

Rolling Thunder:

It was cold, dry and early in the day so I'm guessing that is where this came from.

142, 190(R only) very surprised I pulled this. I think the axle training is paying off :)

Farmers:

100ftx1turn

130, 220, 280

More grip stuff including holding the blob up, tearing cards, ripping phonebooks, bar bending.

Tire Flip:

2x3x650

8" Log Push Press:

triples

145, 195, 245, 295, 330, 350

3" Axle DL:

singles @ 180, 220, 240

Axle Cleans:

doubles

130, 180, 220, 240, 260, 230

Axle Hang Clean:

1x5x180

18" Dead Lift:

535x3

605x2

585x3

660x1

625x2

675x4

Felt good about these. Finally starting to take better form.

series 60"-48" 225, 230, 240

series 66"-48" 225, 230, 240, 280

Your workout-types are right up my alley Mike. I gotta get up there to train sometimes. Grats on the 190 RT. How long have you and Matty been doing this much axle work? If you are seeing results already think about 2 - 3 or 5 years from now. You will be a thickbar monster!

BTNPP:

doubles

135, 185, 225, 275, 315, 325, 335, 345, 365(1), 425(miss, miss)

Shouldn't have gone for 425, shoulders and tri's were too tired. Doing the eccentric part of a double takes a lot of energy out, should have stuck with doubles instead of trying the singles :dry. Dave maxed at 245 by getting it half way up, placing it on his head, then push pressing it up the rest of way :blink !

Pull Down (narrow nuetral grip):

sets of 8

235, 250, 265, 280

295x80ft (~15s) x 2

340x5 @ 54" Had partner deload so this made it quite a bit easier. Played around with a differnt technique on the 340 using a one motion double knee bend hitch if you will. Not lightning quick but saves the back.

that is some great back work. What is the measure of deficit on those pulls?

Chris-

I think the bar is ~5 inches off the ground. These are tough and I am usually friggin spent by the time we are done.

Look forward to seeing you in Iowa. Should be a fun contest!
