ME leg day with Tire Flip

[Exodus]

great workout today, i felt sleepy and tired the whole day. a combination of not enough sleep accompined with not enough food. but the results were outstanding.

Gym work:

Good morning - 315 x 1 (40lb pr)

Zercher pin squat - 365 x 3 (30lb pr)

rev hyper - bdw x 3 x 8.

glute ham raise - bdw x 3 x 8.

pulldown abs ( 50lbs) super setted with hanging leg raises.(bodyweight) 5 x 15 each exercise.

Events:

Tire flip - 650lb tire for 80 feet ( 15 flips total) in 55 seconds.

The words of B fold help me and Trinity more than he realizes. "It's Nothing But Pain" are the words that ring true in both of our heads. That and the fact that we cant live with ourselves if we dont work harder than the next guy. the tire is hard, but realizing that it is just nothing but pain, then you can push yourself to go further threw that pain. Thanks, Bud

Trinity flipped her 250lb tire for 10 times. thats about 60-65 feet in about a minute and a half. not bad for this first time experience. She worked real hard, and had to remind herself several times....................."It's Nothing But Pain"

You pad your forearms with zerchers? If you don't I have a lot of respect for you

"It's Nothing But Pain"

Once you internalize the Zen of that quote - all things are possible.

 

[b fold the truth]

I use that quote (guess I started it...lol) quite often. I know a few things...I will live after this event and it is nothing but pain. I mean...it isn't like you are ripping anything or pushing through a major injury...it is just pain.

The burn in your lungs, your legs exhausted, your arms and back are feeling weak...but you only have 4 flips left. You should never finish an event and feel like it was 'easy'. If it was easy...you should have pushed yourself a lot harder.

It is nothing but pain...nothing that you can't push yourself through. You can hurt later...that is for after the contest. You just have to survive the contest and conquer the day.

hope ya didnt mind me using that in my quote. i just think it's too true. all it is, is pain and you can always suck it up and be sore later. scream if you have to, but get through it.

for all the weight training, tire flipping, eating, getting proper rest it is easy to loose sight of one very important factor. the mind is the most powerful muscle/tool that you could ever harness. But unfortunatly i have a bad habit of neglecting it.

well thank you. when i stared doing zerchers about 3 months ago i did have to pad them. but not now, the forearms have just kinda adapted. so no, i didnt use any padding on those.
