We opted NOT to do the tire flip this week. The rounded back GM's and the hip work really had our core tired. My buddy's bic tendon was bothering him a bit...and it didn't take much convincing of each other to pass it up this week..lol.

Now for some pics and mpeg links...

6 plates on the Trap Bar deadlift...getting a little crazy..lol

Doing the rounded back GM's...still gotta work on getting lower. My buddy was getting his torso lower but his hips were out in front of his knees. I'm really trying to lean way back with these. I think that GM's have been the main reason my squat and dead have both gone up.

The Rounded back GM didn't feel all that hard while doing them (other than I thought that the bar was gonna fly off my back, come over my head, and hit the floor..lol) but they really surprised me when I was done. I was fatigued!!!

Working my hips. They don't seem hard at first...but after the third set...ouch.

262 log press, 2nd set, form felt off on all sets but leg drive was decent.

495 on the trap bar, first time doing them, still felt very easy

705 on the yoke. I only went for 25ft trying to test my core. I am still not wearing a belt or knee wraps of any kind...when in training...it should be just that...training. I want my weakest link to be strengthened...always.

Softball deadlift. These really tested the grip strength and can really fry your forearms, top and bottom. It pays to have long fingers on this event.

Doing the 380 stone with my spotters. It was HEAVY!!! One side was top heavy and this sucker is WIDE too. It is 34" wide at the place where you have to "hug" it. Very tall too.
