So Friday lol

30 min jog

Skwaats: warm up to 225 Then
doubles on the half minute for 10 minutes.

This destroyed me and my legs and everything felt trashed after.  Groin felt tight n didnt want to push it.   That's all I got out of my leg day lol

15 minutes jog
I cramped up but I ate beforehand because I get light headed on heavy lifts.  I am horrible at running if i eat before.

Bench: doubles up to 275
3 board bench: 225xa lot
185xa lot
135x a lot

Incline pressing: not a lot, wrists are sore.  Forearms are trashed from the sandbag

Then cable work for chest

Oh press up to 165x8
DB front raise/side raise 4x10
Cable rear flyes hi and lo
Tricep work

Exhausted, still am but gonna work up to another workout.

Leg day, had a lot to do so ran through it

squats up to 275 for doubles and what not
then box squats at 275/300/315 for doubles

drop to 225 for multiple reps

then hack squat and leg press

leg curls for 3 sets

also ran 20 minutes(had to take a dump)

Annoying guy was there and kept getting in my fucking way

Just filled up my sandbag, approximately 195lbs

I did 1 sandbag clean and i underestimated it lol  feels good though, goin to be the 150lber and 100lb bags in the future.  Or I will get the 200lb bags and just put objects in them to displace the sand so I can only fit 150lbs in it and so on.

I figured I'm going to get a 2 inch pipe and then just get a square tube that fits snug over the 2 inch pipe.  As long as it's height is 4" the width is going to be whatever fits the best. So the beam goes over the pipe, put collars on it, bam.  170 dollar bar for maybe 60 bucks.

Yeah, it is good to see people with disabilities like that doing stuff outside of the norm that a PT or regular doctor would suggest.  I doubt a doctor would ever recommend strongman training for someone with CP but its definitely interesting to see the results.

I guess hes a few months in and hes gone from not being able to do anything without a spotter to catch him to being able to do lifts on his own up to a certain point.  I want to see his progress a few years into strongman training.  I cant remember if it was that video or another 1 I watched where a guy competed in strongman and basically had a dead arm but was loading stones with 1 arm and it was nuts.

So update on a job, I may go back to working security at my previous job but they are getting rid of the security company and just hiring guards on as employees so thatll mean a bump in pay and benefits.  I talked to my old supervisor and he wants me on, my schedule would be 4am to Noon which i am fine with, itd allow me to train, stay at my current job and go back to college.  Even if I did the second shift which is 10ish to end, I could still do it all.  I just have to wait, I forgot which date it is for the contract to run out, I believe its in November so its coming up soon.

Did some quick farmers walks and shit

Tomorrow I have an interview then ill head to the gym.

I'm just gonna spend a shit ton of time at the gym
Run, upperbody, metcons etc

Bought a new sandbag, basically the same as rogues but 20 bucks less and holds 200lbs.  Might do it for conditioning for 2nd workouts each day consisting of holds, clean to shoulders, squats etc.

Today

30 minute jog

Banded bench

did doubles and triples and what not to 200lbs plus bands, possibly 80lbs total at the top
Drop down to 135plus bands and slowly worked up onto a 3 board CG

Hex DB press: 45-55-65 x 10

DB Flyes: 45sx3x10

DB extensions: 40s or something for sets of 10

then cable work for triceps and chest

Tomorrow will be some wods and running

or back work idk depending on how I feel.

So yeah i have some interviews and shit this week and 1 job i might go for I will have to cut back on the days i work out since its 3 on 4 off 4 on 3 off 12hr shifts and probably pretty miserable.  I will although, rent a storage unit and slowly build up gym equipment.  If I get the post office then yeah I will be able to continue to workout normally and build up equipment.

Some equipment I am looking at

mostly strongman equipment such as logs, plate loaded husafell stones, racks, plates, farmers carrys, sand bags, stones, etc shit like that.  I would get most of my stuff from New York Barbells since their stuff is pretty good and on the cheaper side.  Also, I can save a lot on shipping since the place is maybe 1.5 hours or so from me so Id just rent a moving van or something.  Also, I would go to other places to get odds and end things like Rogue, theres a company on my fb that id get a belt squat from, idk random shit.  If I can snag one of these jobs and within a few months pay off my student loans then I would possibly invest maybe 10 grand or so in equipment and see how far I can go with that.

Interview next week for the post office, I guess there's a lot of hours available at that office.

Today was back and shoulders kind of.

Couldn't get any pump

I played with overhead pressing with my new bands.  Went over well, same with bent over row.

I tried banded snatches and it worked but id need an elevated platform so they don't fall off the pegs.

So yeah if i get this job then ill invest in my own bumpers n shit and leave them in the closet at the gym.

Or find a new gym.
