Picking up heavy stuff and getting hit a lot
Might as well, I already have one or two journals out there but it's not that hard to cut and paste.

HOME WORKOUT:
It was pouring out rain mostly the entire workout with only a few breaks, so we had to skip the thickbar deadlifts for reps.

Log Presses: 118x1, 138x1, 148x1, 163x1, 178x0 (missed it again), 173x1 (PR!).

Videos:

178 log press attempt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2X4LNbooPY
173 log press PR: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbEbN9RXcWQ

My stance is still too wide, I keep stepping out to get braced underneat the log. Need to shorten it up and explode better with the legs, get my head under the log faster. Yes I am a dork and work out in my gi pants

Atlas Stone: Loaded the 225 onto a 42" barrel right next to it, then did a 3' carry to the platform and loaded the stone. Tried a third time from 6', wasn't happening.

Once I started getting the grip down right, this stone started just flying up. No tacky, just used a little chalk to try to minimize tearing up my forearms. Clay Edgin told me to not squat as deep next time since the barrel's not that high, gotta get something to make it taller. Maybe throw a tire or two on top.

Keg Squats: 15 each side with an 80lb keg. Filled up the keg to 80lbs then did 15 squats on each shoulder, going to parallel each time. Not bad at all, need to add more water.

Keg Presses: Did 5 presses with the 80lb keg, just took one clean and did them all strict.

We ended by doing reps with the Captains of Crush #2 gripper (takes 195 pounds to close), then sat down and drank some Budweiser while watching FIRST BLOOD.
