Another Fun Sunday, 5-5-02, video...

This was supposed to be a light gym day and a heavy event day. I think we accomplished that nicely. Finals are this week, so we definately had our minds elsewhere...but had a good one none the same. The plan was to go light in the gym, to reserve lots of energy for our events. Next week we will go heavy in the gym and light on the events.

Doing the farmers with 200. We decided to use straps on these because they have a rolling handle on them...making them MUCH more difficult. I thought that I would go as far as I could without the straps then put them on. I surprised myself and went the distance I was screaming when I finished though!!!!

705 Super Yoke walk. Still no support gear as I still want to strengthen my weak points. When I compete I will add a belt and knee wraps though....till then..strengthen.

Zearcher Walk...with 135. We did these for fun while the keg was filling up with water. They really put the workload on your erectors and makes it hard to breathe when the bar presses on your chest. If you get off balance...the weights swing also...fun fun fun

Pressing the thick bar with plates hanging. This was a chore in itself to get it to the shoulders from the ground. You couldn't squat underneath it and you couldn't clean it. I would get way low and zearcher squat it up, lean way back and try to get it to fall up to my shoulders. Once there I would work with it till I got my hands under it and then pressed it.

What made it even harder, besides being a thick bar with no knurling, was the weights swaying around while trying to work with it...lol
