Events @ Iron Athletics
I drove up to Forest Hill, MD today to train with one of my original training partners who bears a strikingly handsome resemblance to me and vice versa. Sure, there are lots of bald and bearded dudes in strength sports, but for years, whenever Steve and I would compete together people would ask if we were brothers. And back in the day when we worked together, people would get us mixed up all the time. It was a little bit of a shorter session because Steve and his fiance had to meet about adopting a dog that afternoon, but we both did some solid work.
TANK Push/Prowler Drag Medley
warmup runs with various pushes and backward drags
2 runs of {60' x TANK in 3rd gear/60' x prowler + 230}
This is just under the weights for the HW and SHW mens open divisions in the comp I'm running in December and both Steve and I finished both of our runs right around the 30 second mark. Since many people failed to complete the carry and drag event last year at the comp I ran, I lowered the weight and distance slightly. These were definitely gassers though.
Stone Over Bar (to 51")
3x225 - tackyless
1x315 - tackyless
3x315 - Add tacky, 1st video
1x345 - 2nd video
1x385 - 3rd video
This is the first time really training stones since USS nats at the end of June and the heaviest stone I've loaded in at least 6 months. Everything felt great and next time I'm up at Iron Athletics I might have to give Steve's 22 inch 425 lb stone a run again to see if I can tie or beat my all time record.
TANK Pushes
60' x N
60' x 1st gear
60' x 2nd gear
10x60' x 3rd gear
All runs were 30' down and 30' back.
