max effort lower + events...sumo dl vids

[t3c]

Today was fun but very tiring and draining. After my gym work i was practically dead...then i did events.

Sumo deadlift
135x3
155x1
185x1
205x1
225x1
http://www.grambo.org/afa/users/tec/events2/sumo225.WMV
275x1
http://www.grambo.org/afa/users/tec/events2/sumo275.WMV
315x1
http://www.grambo.org/afa/users/tec/events2/sumo315.WMV

This was my first time pulling sumo heavy and I wasn't expecting to use alot of weight. I thought my form was really good up until 315...then it just sucked completely, hips raised too fast. I was really happy pulling 315 though considering it was my first time.

High bar squats
135x5
185x5 x 3 sets

Rev hypers + mini
3x12

Calves on my new calf raise thinggy i made out of 2x4s
135x8 reps for 2 sets...these felt weird...i'm gonna try to fix it better for next week.

Events:
farmers
150s 3 trips (very hard and very heavy...could barely move)
http://www.grambo.org/afa/users/tec/events2/farmers150s.WMV
80s 3 trips moving fast
http://www.grambo.org/afa/users/tec/events2/farmers80s.WMV

Sled drag
2 plates 2 trips long distance
3 plates 2 trips medium distance
4 plates 1 trip medium distance
http://www.grambo.org/afa/users/tec/events2/sled3plates.WMV

I feel like i'm going to pass out right now...need to get in better cardio shape!

NICE!!! Fun videos!!

Nice work bro. I can offer no advice on the FW or sled pulling. I can make one suggestion in that you turn your toes out a little more on your sumos. Overall though good work.

That bar looked a little dangerous on the last DL you're lucky you use collars (I don't)

Nice work man!!!!

Try and work on not still-legging the sumo's (I am working on the same thing). Ask Spatts about some advice on them...turning your toes out might be the answer!!!

Farmers...where is your hand placement? You should grab closer to the back than to the front of the handles...but it looked good. Think SPEED!!!!!!!

Sled...lean w a y back when you do these!!!! Pull hard and never slow down...EVER.

Next week...try doing the 130's on farmers then going directly into a sled drag...(carry and drag medley).
