It's been a while.
Overall, feeling fairly good about today, did some work, got comfortable with a couple things, log press felt pretty good.
Log - clean and press each rep 90 second time limit
220 for 4 reps
-took it nice and easy on this, felt like I could have had 6 if I pushed it, I think 6 will be the highest 220 number, I still would prefer to do 3 reps with 250, and after today I don't think that will really be a problem, each rep was smooth. Spent some time on all my warm ups just holding the log overhead, and really extending the log back over my head onto my traps and getting comfortable with it.
Timed farmers hold 295 a hand
35 seconds
- stopped right when I felt my hands getting beat up, think I can go for 45, and that should be good enough for a high placing, and since it's the first event, let me see what I need to do on log press.
medley
200 a hand farmers/ prowler push/ prowler drag
50' each 80 seconds.
-this worked out pretty well, I wanted something that would last about 90 seconds.
-next week I'll go 250 a hand and heavier prowler, and do 2 trips, then 3 etc
-my one concern is going to be the atlas stones, my front squat is feeling very good, so I know the strength will be there, and I'll be coming in with pretty decent cardio, it'd be nice to get my hands on a 300 stone, but I also don't really mind just going for it without much preparation. This event has always been a strength for me, and if I can't get to practicing on any, not a huge deal, this competition is for fun, but I'd also like a good placing.
I think I'm going to do some log strict press during the week, my knees are really bugging me right now and I think it's from push press, so a little time away from that can't hurt. the biggest thing is going to just be balance for me, and being able to get over the vertigo of pressing outdoors. I'll keep hammering the prowler, and get that up to 10 trips even if it takes me an hour, and then start cutting the rest periods. the medley today just wrecked me, but only for about an hour, so that's a good sign, cardio to be able to go all out for 90 seconds should be there within 2 weeks.
The comp got split into 2 days, so I'm really going to try to compete Sunday so I can see everyone else's results before I even start which is always helpful. too bad it will be at 1030 am, I prefer competing later on in the day, but those are the breaks.
Interested to see how I'm feeling tomorrow, I don't want to be too sore, I'm hoping I feel fine, so I know I can push harder next week. Realistically, it's 4 events, and 1 is a timed hold, the log for me is probably going to be 3 good reps, it's
