Thurs, 16 April 15

Just like Tuesday was similar in awesomeness to last week, so too was today similar in sluggishness to last Thursday.  I didn't feel tired or slow, so much as unfocused and uncoordinated.  Again like last week I still got done everything I had planned without having to alter anything and I did it the same or better than my previous log day.  It is frustrating when weights feel easy, but you are still doing a Texas two step at lockout every other rep.  Video from today's training, and lots of other strongman related content, is over on my Instagram page.

Prowler Hi/Lo

6x{50' x prowler+50 high handles/50' x prowler+50 low handles} - I was moving pretty well on these, but I felt like a barrel of smashed buttholes and the feeling was increasing exponentially with each run so I called it after six runs.  I find it in no way coincidental that the hi/lo pushes are the ones that I always seem to miss due to time conflicts, weather, or training at the Y instead of the Unit.  I may get super sadistic and switch them out for prowler suicides in my next training block.
