Damn my inner quad is effed. Set a dumbbell on it and it almost drive me through the wall. Not sure exactly what I did but I’m thinking it was flexed and I slammed it with the log. Kinda like a Charley horse that won’t go away. Too fat to see bruising anyways.

Glad this is the last week of “higher” reps. Too much set math; 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-1-2, 10 done. Sweaty business too.

Week 6. Off by a day and heading away for work for the rest of the week so I’m not sure if I’ll get a chance to hit the gym or how productive it’ll be. Tried the GHR again today and it’s still bothering that front bit on my left quad.

Week 7. Picked up my CPAP to try out over the next 6-8 weeks. I’ve primarily got central sleep apnea which is non-obstructive so it hard to say if it’ll do anything. 
 
Hang Clean WU to 185 x 3 x 4r Hook gripped them all. Rotating the thumb pad in more so I can grab my ring finger as well. Feels weird but is secure.

Week 7. Miserable nights sleep last night. Grandgoober stayed over and was up lots and it was also my first night with the CPAP. I was fully awake at least 8 or so times last night. Very strange not being able to open my mouth. Anyways, just a truncated session. Very tired and hot.

Did the dumbbell snatches. 100# each arm, EMOM, 12 x 1r. First couple of reps I could feel my right elbow being tweaky from that bad caber drop.

Week 9. Still feeling pretty lazy. Next week is a deload so I need to get stuff done so there isn’t a huge gap in effort. Thinking about using my tire sled with the 100# plates for the rear drags on concrete as it bites better and I need to pack around less plate. 
 
Front Squat WU to
117.5k x 2 x 5r
122.5k x 5 x 3r
 
Beat my hands up with some reverse bending. 3, 6” x 1/4” gr8’s, and one wobble on a Ironmind red nail. 
 
Backwards Tire Drag - set it up but it’s getting late. Made some sugar & borax poison for the ants and set it out. I’ll do some outside lifting and drag the sled tomorrow. I’ll also fill my new Ironmind sand bag for some more fun.

Week 1. Also week 11 of the behemoth program. Since it’s going to a 3x3 this week I’m going to use it to kick off a Jake Sullivan run up. 
 
Freaking heat is throwing a helluva governor on my lifts. Everything felt heavy. Low back and obliques are feeling wonky as well so I cut early.
