A STL Saturday...:)

[b fold the truth]

Had a good one with some guys in STL. Night Fly and I went up Saturday morning and trained for about 5 hours and had a blast. Eagle Gym is awesome!!!!

Stones
1 full run of all the stones
404 stone placed...felt easier than last time.

Silver Dollar Deadlift 18", conventional only
several warm ups
880 x 1 (loose belt only) PR!!!!
920 x 0 (loose belt and straps)

Log Press
270 x 1 x 2 sets...EASY

Farmers Walk
several warm ups only

Tire Flip
600 lb tire for several singles and triple...working on form only.

Here is a pic of me getting the 404 stone to my lap...it was a BIG rock!!!

Night Fly doing the 170 pound each farmers....!!!!!

Night Fly doing the harness pull with a Ford Explorer...up hill!!!!! TWICE!!!

She also placed the 180 stone several times and almost placed it on a platform that was 5' tall. She is only 5'6". It slipped and fell...but she had it up there...technique error.

You should really try the harness pull sometime...talk about setting your quads and calves on fire...ouch!!!!

Well I hope you to are available when I move. The only really problems is my big screen tv it weight close to 300lbs and I live on the nineth floor. Damn you two are strong sound like one fun day. Nice PR on the deads B

that 880 deadlift must have been a bitch to clean up

haha...I thought 840 was loaded on the bar. I wanted to do 840 to set a PR then do 900 to see what I could get. Wasn't listening to a thing they said when they said...want us to put 880 on the bar? Didn't know what it was till after I pulled it.

either way it is impressive as hell...
how high up did the box start you? a bit below knee level??
i think you could pull close to that if you put on a deadlift suit. That would be some impressive stuff.
I get all pissed when i have to clean up 335... i cant imagine taking off like 9 plates on each side.

And good job to night fly too, she had some pretty impressive feats of strength also.

The bar was actually about 5-6" below mid knee level. It was still pretty deep for me. There was another guy who had recently set a suit PR with 600 from the floor and did either 650 or 700 on Saturday in the silver dollar.

It is just a different motion for me, feels strange. I can't get much leg drive and run the risk of using lower back only when I do them.

It was not fun...but there were 5 of us training and we used 100's mostly.

Eagle Gym is one cool gym. Stones, tire, log, farmers, kegs, harness, etc.... Just look at the pics...loved it.
