Block 1, Week 4, Day 4 - Events @ Iron Athletics
Today I drove up to Forest Hill, MD to train with my secret twin brother, Steve Mattheu, at his facility, Iron Athletics Gym. A good time was had by us as usual and he almost killed me with conditioning, also as usual.
Weight Over Bar
worked up to 28 lb over 15' to warmup
Several throws over 11' and 12' with 56 lb
Car DL Simulator
8x225+
4x315+
4x405+ - Add Metal Jack DL suit
4x455+
4x495+
4x545+
The + is for the base wight of the setup, which was 4 barbells plus some very ingenious double tube connectors that Steve had gotten specifically for this setup.
Yoke
2x30'x345
30'x435
30'x525
30'x615
30'x705
Yoke was not feeling great for either of us so I was glad to keep it to 30' runs.
TANK Push/Med Ball Over Shoulder
5 rounds of 60'xTANK in 2nd gear then 150 lb med ball over shoulder for the remainder of 60 sec. My med ball reps were 7, 6, 4, 5, 4 and rest periods were 60 sec while the other dummy took his turn. This was completely horrendous as soon as I finished the first round.
