catch up on the last couple of days

I still have not done the KB & Swing workout, but its getting closer. I figure the lore i post about it the better chance i have of getting started

Wednesday:
The only workout i did was steel calibrating. That is basicly a modified hand & thigh dead lift. The weight only has to come off the ground, both ends of the bar, and it is a good lift. I have someone watch me for the heavy weights because its tough to tell sometimes. So all the weights i list are 1 rep, then i add weight and lift again with a couple of min rest so i can add the weight and let the bar cool down
500,530,545, 500,570,600,620,630,500,600,630,650,670
- I can really feel it throughout my whole damn body.

Thursday:
Calibrating - 600,650,670,690,710,715

PM workout
KB Presses with a 32 kg bell
Ladders (So 3,3 = 1,1,2,2,3,3 without putting down the bell)
3,3 - 3,3, - 2,2 - 2,2 - 2,2

2HP (done between sets of presses)
50 lbs - 6 reps
70 lbs - 3 reps
90 lbs - 1 rep
120 lbs - 1 rep
125 lbs - 14 reps (4,4,4,2)
*** We need to try Presses & 2 hp after the cardio so we are warmed up. I thought the extra warm ups at a lighter weight would help but this still seems harder then it should be

VO2 Max w/ 24 kg bell
15:15 for 8 sets
*** Slow progress but it still got our heart rate up pretty darn good.

Bending (LOL)
320 lb 6" nail
- 3 with DU
415 lb 6" Grade 2 bolt - DU was a no go so i reversed it in 2 hits then swept it DO finally crushing it.
*** Very dissapointing night for bending

  1. Maybe that's what I'll do. I've been thinking of rigging up and hand & thigh lift bar for a while akin to what Chris R. has for a while. It could be doubly used for calibrating.

    What are you performing your 2HP with?

  2. Its alot more of a workout then i ever expected. I just bought some new eye bolts because the ones i have were only rated for 300 lbs and they bent, not the new ones are rated for 2,200 lbs so they will never be a problem again.
