Doing the Farmers Hold for time...it started off feeling easy then it would just all the sudden get HEAVY. I am hoping that these will improve my grip for the farmers as well as the hercules hold. I opted to do these today to save my back a little (not slip on the ice in the driveway) and to kill 2 birds with one stone.

Starting the super yoke...watching for ice...lol

Tire Flip

Showing how NOT to do the tire flip (why isn't my chest on the tire???!!!)

The sled is fun when you are wondering if you are about to slip and fall..lol

Doing some lower abs...

Straight legged sit ups...

Cheese did well today also...and is nearing 260 on the scale

He did very well on the farmers hold for time by going all out and getting 58 seconds on his last set!!!

He tried getting the 670 yoke...but had problems standing up with it...

Tire...and the after pain...

Sled He loves this event nearly as much as I do.....lololololol

 

[b fold the truth]

He couldn't move the 2 medium bands...so he dropped down to 1

Abs...

We both had good days and look fwd to good training through the rest of the week. We are already excited about the events that we are going to try AFTER Boston...lol. I can't wait to get back to the Conan's Wheel, Hussafell Stones, Atlas Stones, Log Press, etc...lololol.

Enjoy...

Ohh snow

I still don't get how you get the bands to stay around your ankles on the reverse hypers - lol

I just bolt plates to my legs using a wire cable and dog clip

Very impressive as always.....It looks so damn cold out there

 

[zackdarnell]

Had the yoke and farmers been out in the snow? Must have been quite cold out there.

How much snow did yall get up there? We got about 6-7".
