He eats 5 fairly large meals every day, sleeps 6-8 hours a night, and trains semi-westside with a little bit of rep/strongman/size ideas implemented into the program...just like mine
Although my bodyweight seems to stay around the same weight on the scale...I keep getting leaner, harder, and stronger.

Hi, b! Whattup?!
I'm going to take some space here and post a brief of what we did last Friday and last night. Hope it doesn't bore the pants off of you! I must say that I do feel sooooooo unbelievably fortunate to be able to be trained by both Tod and Julie. You're right, they're great people!
Here's what we did last Friday: Log Clean and Press / Axle Clean and Press
I'm the only chick training and performed the Axel. The guys used the Log.
I was able to do: 75lbs X 12, X 10 w/in 1:15
Tire/Apollon's Axle Deadlifts: 195x15 w/in 1:15
Tire Drag: 145lbs for 70ft - 1:11
As for this damn drag, we're dragging rubber (tire) on rubber (gym floor mats). Whoa. Very fun!
Last night: Yoke
Since we're performing this all in a gym, there isn't much room for one long walk, so we have to include turns. We walk 120ft that includes 4-turns.
Warm up with 200lbs.
250lbs in 1:03:16 / 1:13 (the second set sucked as I almost lost my footing - timing is key. As you probably know. You can't rush or the yoke will begin to swing and you lose footing AND valuable seconds)
Tire Flips: 320lb tire
10-flips (two turns) - :50:71 / :50:94 (however, that's really 48:94, Tod shaved off 2-seconds since Julie was telling me that I was done. The guys were performing 8-flips with the 475lb tire, and she forgot I was doin' 10-flips).
Deadlift Hold: Three 45lb plates on ea. side: 43:55 (ah, shit. Totally sucked on this one. I didn't better my previous time of 48:42).
Man, this has been a blast. What alot of people don't realize is that you can have all the strength in the world, but if you're not mentally prepared, all that strength won't matter. Gotta be mentally tough. That's for sure.
Julie and Tod have been sick, too. I recommended some Chinese herbal tea that I use whenever I'm feeling under the weather, and I think it's been working for Julie. She looked much better last night. And has been able to resume training. There's some really bad flu going around. EVERYONE is getting it, too. Yucky. Hope all is well with you!

Great to hear from you!!! Thought that you had left us for a while!!!!
I bet that yoke is fun with the turns...lololol. With the yoke...you can NEVER slow down...you must always be running qucker and quicker with it on your back. Never just let the weight sit on your back as it will swing A LOT!! YOU have to control the yoke...not the other way around. Start with super small steps then accelerate as fast as possible. Grab the yoke on the sides...NOT the top!!! Arch your chest out as far as possible and run like heck...if you can.
Remember on the tire...your chest should NEVER leave the tire!!!!

Hey, b:
I was sick for awhile and after getting better, had to concentrate on training and artwork for a bit. That took me away from the computer. I'm pretty sure that what I had is what Julie is now getting over.
Your advice for both the yoke and the tire flip is right on. Especially what you said about the chest never leaving the tire. Makes total and complete sense. Julie and Tod were saying something similar, more along the lines of: keep the body close to the tire...." But you simplified it and hit right on target for me. Thanks!
Also, I know two guys who will be traveling to Boston to watch this contest (one does live in Boston, the other in Maine). I've already told them to cheer Julie on - I'll make sure they know to cheer you on, too!
