Feb 15 - This was the last week of training implements heavy before the competition. I wanted to focus on the super yoke because it has been a weak point for me in the past.

Yoke

550x60ft
550x60
640x60
700x60
800x60
880x60 in 12 sec

This was one of my best runs leading up to the Arnold. I had been working on my breathing and IMO that has helped me from having so many drops in a run. Next week I may do a few sets of the empty yoke(550lbs) along with the sandbag. I have video of my last run and will post it when I get a chance.

Feb 6 Event Training

This was one of my last heavy event training days. I was still a bit sore from my axle press on Wednesday where I hit a PR of 400.

Yoke

550x60ft
640x60ft
790x60ft
900x60ft

The 900 was not very fast but I did the full 60ft without any drops. I still have a few more weeks to work on my foot speed.

Stones to 53 inch bar

270x5

380x9 total reps, the tacky I was using was horrible. I had heated it in the microwave and after my first rep the tacky was hard and covered in dirt. As soon as I got home I ordered some jack tack.

Rows

365x8

GHR

2x8

chins

1x12

My body weight is around 288-290 which is good because my cardio is still really good. My plan is to get up to 295 for the show. Only two more weeks of training left...
