Meant to ask you; Are those side handle deads with FW or with Reese's box deadlift thing?

That is his side handle apparatus. Farmers would have been too high of a pick. I think I will pick up a trap bar b/c every time you put that thing down it is all over the place and its off balance. That reminds me something I need to ask you. Didn't get the pic mail; send again

I will call you later ;)

Frame Carry (trap bar):

225x120ftx1turn, 335x120ftx1turn, 445x60ft, 535x60ft, 585x60ftx2

the frame puts a very different tax on the grip. Glad I picked up the trap bar

Yoke:

60ft

340, 430, 540, 630, 720, 720 (~10s)

Stones:

warm up 220x3, 240, 270, 295

325 sandbag to 60"

series 66"-54" 220, 235, 270

series 66"-48" 270, 295, 325, 340

John murdered the 420 to 54" :rock:rock so I thought I would shot for 60", had it on the lip but could'nt quite get it over. Gave it another shot, lapped it but wasn't going. We need a bigger stone (I think John could have hit 450!!!)!

Toke Mon. off for some family biz. Probably needed it anyway.

072308

10"Log Clean and Press:

2x3x190

4x3x240

240x9 (60s)

210x11 (60s)

One motion the log is way easier than cleaning it each rep. This felt much better with the press.

Axle Clean (DO):

125x3, 215x3, 215x5, 240x3, 270x1,1(cont.),1(cont.), 215x5

270 may be a PR or tie for DO Axle Clean. Would like to get this up 10lb by nats.

Yoke:

20ft (all runs consecutive)

620, 720, 820, 920, 1020

F-up my back bad when breaking 1120 off the ground.

Semi Pull (arm over arm):

Pulled it maybe 60ft, didn't finish course. First time doing this, hands were numb by the end of the pull

Viking Press:

280x8

Felt like true weight in hands

Progressive Wheelbarrow:

Not sure of weights. Made the first trip (only 5 guys made it). Toke it near the end the 2nd trip, got heavy fast near the end. This thing was awesome, the weight would slid closer to you as you walked! Peterson did well with this!

Stones:

48"

235, 270, 290, 305, 340, 365x0 (22s)

Bicep seized up on me on the last stone. Note to self: Bring bands to warm up with. They had nothing to warm up with and no time like most contests.

My only real goal today was to treat it like a training day and not to get hurt but that is what I did. So now I have to get this back in working order so I can continue training for Nats. I could barely walk after the yoke and thought about dropping out of the contest. As I have never left a game or contest in my life, my stupid Italian pride kicked in and I made it a mission just to finish the contest. Though I didn't preform or place where I would have liked (toke 4th), I think it was an accomplishment just to finish. 1st-4th were only seperated by a couple of points; a little more effort in some places would have went a long way. Learned some important lessons today though but I won't lie, I am pissed at myself for making some stupid mistakes.

God Bless!

340x1 then lap x2

(PR w/o tack) Very slippery stones as well, just slide right out for the load.

This was done in Denver and the altitude was rough. Always started strong on the reps but was sucking wind big time at the latter part of the set. I imagine this is close to how it will be in Utah, big difference at this altitude! Need to improve conditioning or increase RBC count... hahahaha

I just looked it up for us. The first day the event in Lindon is at 4600 feet and Salt Lake City is at 4200 feet. It is going to affect us definitely, but I think everyone is going to be in the same boat, except for those that live there. I did some research and found that at 4600 feet there is approximately 85% of the total oxygen count you would find at sea level and 86% at the 4200 mark. The effect could be minimal on some people and drastic on others, there is usually a cut off where people detect noticeable performance decreases above 1500 meters or 4920 feet. We're close enough both days to where an effect is definetely gonna be felt. I think all we can do is prepare how we've been doing an see how it goes.

The oxidate system is only gonna play a role in those events lasting longer than 30 seconds or so. However, the cluster training, which causes repeated lactate spikes, will condition the body to work as efficiently as possible in an anerobic state (i.e., training like we've been doing will allow greater tolerance for higher blood lactate levels). This will in turn allow us to tolerate the decrease in absolute oxygen volume because of the increased elevation. Hopefully that makes sense.
