MattM Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Also did speed 13" Axle Speed DL on Monday 465 x 3 x 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 Slow on the updates lately. Trying to keep my training under wraps for nationals just in case I have a decent chance of placing... we will see. Anyway, main movements are 13" axle deadlifts, wide grip pulldowns, dumbbell benching various angles, plate stack front holds, yoke carry or picks, keg keg stone medley speed work, back & front squat variations, circus dumbbell pressing, and husafell carry. Will make a training compilation vid at the end of all this! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 Alright time to log a workout for the first time in a while. Got done with nationals this weekend and ended up bleeding points and finishing 10th of 60 some folks in my weight class. I've identified a few weaknesses and it's time for me to fix them so I can get the placings I know I can earn if I put my best on the table. I'll put some links up to the vids I took soon along with some notes. Monday 10/31/16 Axle Clean & Press (clean once, press away - cadence and down commands) 35 x 5 85 x 3 125 x 1 175 x 1 195 x 1 200 x 17 in 60 seconds, had to drop and cleaned once more but missed the 18th attempted rep and time expired. Probably a Rep PR Landmine Row (counting plate weight loaded to end of bar only) 45 x 5 90 x 3 135 x 1 150 x 12 x 2 L&R 150 x 10 L&R Band Pullapart (30 sec rest between sets) Orange x 20, 14, 15 EZ Bar Curl 65 x 5 95 x 12 x 3 Barbell Reverse Forearm Curl 65 x 55, 35, 35 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
