We also did some keg shouldering too...it weighed about 85lbs. Found that cleaning and pressing a keg with water in it was NOT fun at all. We could swing it up...but not clean and press. Shouldering was a lot of fun!!!

Just ate a bit, fighting off a LONG nap...lol

Now for some pics...

High Bar Squats with 365...felt strong...plan to go over 400 next week...and keep going till I have over 500 on the high bar close stance full squat...

 

[b fold the truth]

Rack Pulls...from the knees. I can't remember if this is 6 or 7 plates...probably 6...

Still in training...so no belt or straps

Setting a new PR on the log...at 295. I swear...my log is MUCH harder than a normal log...MUCH. Can't wait to get my hands on a regular one!!!

Yoke walk with 615. Still pretty bouncy (the yoke that is) but training with tough equipment will make good equipment on contest day much easier...I hope.

Big tire is getting easier...I think..lol

 

[b fold the truth]

Throwing the small one...

 

[b fold the truth]

It sucks to be the only one who can pick up the heavy tire...I ALWAYS end up being the one who puts it back

Guess a boy has to put away his toys...

 

[b fold the truth]

Little trip with the farmers...

Sometimes having big legs just get in the way when you are trying to walk quickly...gotta love the tire residue all over my arms and face...lol

The softballs really burn your entire hand and both sides of your forearm...
