Monday March 11 Pressing
I was looking forward to today because I had nothing planned and felt like Christian Savoie had hit me in the back with a sledge hammer. Painful. This stemmed from event training on Saturday, which consisted of high volume super yoke, Sandbag load over bar and posterior chain accessory work.

Sunday March 3 event training
This was my first time being able to simulate most of the events for the Las Vegas Giants Live Qualifier April 20th. I was looking forward to training events specifically, as training gym lifts for the last three months has caused me to pick up some bad habits, ex. curling in the power rack, swiss ball sit-ups, and getting frosted tips.
Speed deadlift from 14 inches - worked up to 655x6x1rep approx. 60sec between sets
Overhead press medley - 170lbs dumbbell, 330lbs log, 320lbs axle done in approx. 25 sec
Tire flip - 850lbsx8flips
Farmers Walk - 345lbs per hand x120ft total, drop and pick at 30ft.
chin ups - 15
I consumed about 30grams of BCAA(Mettle) throughout the workout and 10 grams of Creatine(CreaPLX) before and after. My bodyweight was approx.

Feb 15
Speed DL from 12 inches - This will be the height the max deadlift will be from at the competition in April. We had 405lbs in plate weight and 80lbs approx. in chains. I did 3 sets of 3 reps, after every rep 10lbs per side was added to the bar to slow the stretch reflex the body usually has while doing repetitions.
Super Yoke - I worked up to 700lbs for 120ft with drop and turns at 40 ft. I will attempt 900lbs for 80ft in about 5 weeks.
Front Squat for time - I started this exercise mainly to build pain tolerance. I used 315lbs and squatted to a parallel box, once I could not complete anymore reps my partner would add another box making the squat higher but allowing me to continue until my 75 sec was up. I lost count but I think the reps were somewhere around 25-27.
I used my BCAA drink a bit differently this workout also, instead of sipping on 20-30grams of Mettle by Precision I drank 10grams immediately after each large set. I felt this worked better for my overall endurance of the 120 min workout.

Coming off of a small back injury while attempting to deadlift 375kg I decided to take it easy the first few weeks of my training cycle for Giants Live qualifier in Las Vegas in April
Feb 8
14 inch Deadlift - worked up to 585x11 deadstop each rep. I was embarrassed that all I could manage was 11 but I still had some back pain and decided to stop.
Decline GHR - I can usually manage 20 or more reps weighted on a regular GHR, but we elevated the back of the machine and I struggled with 3x5.
2inch DB row - 140x5, 140x8
Farmers holds - 250x70sec
