Events @ The Unit
I headed back to Salisbury this weekend cause I realized I needed a bunch of stuff I didn't bring down to Norfolk with me initially, and my girlfriend and I had plans with her family on Saturday and Sunday. The irony is that now I'm back to training at Brute Strength Gym and I didn't even get to do events there my first weekend. Still a good training day with a focus on pressing endurance and medley work.
Circus DB

2x10x115 - 1st set all right arm, 2nd set all left arm
2x10x125 - Same as above, video of lefty for this set
Pretty happy with my pressing endurance, especially with the left arm.
Stone Shouldering/Backward Drag Medley
60' x prowler + 200
60' x prowler + 400 - This was a wee bit slower than 200 lbs less.
6x200/60' x prowler + 400 - Doing stone shouldering before the frag made it much worse.
6x240/60' x prowler + 400 - And increasing the stone weight and adding a 60' run (more like the poopy pants shuffle) down to the prowler to start damn near caused me to fail. Video of this set.
The only reason I finished the drag without stopping when I crapped out after the first 5' or so was because I made a mental deal with myself that if I finished the rest without stopping then I'd be done for the day. So I did and I was. If I lie to myself then I won't trust myself for future such deals and the tactic won't work anymore.
