I’ve been really dragging when I get home from work the past week. I typically walk in the door, change my boots, and go lift.
Here’s some video footage from the past weeks training:

Otis has been pretty rough on me the past couple days. Did a bunch of loading and unloading Thursday and Friday, so I didn’t train in the gym.
On Thursday, Ryan Callahan of Fit2Play sent me a text message asking about throwing this weekend. The attached video is the result.

Once again Nick Rosendaul and Sean Dockery are inviting friends to come together after the Arnold Expo closes Saturday, March 3rd to share food and fellowship. The Farmstrength Garage Night has steadily grown over the last 6 years into an annual event that has been called the highlight of the Arnold weekend by many. It is a rare opportunity to talk with people from a variety of niches within the Iron Game away from crowds, seminars, and other distractions.
Strongmen, Highland Games athletes, Kettlebell trainers, stonelifters, grip guys, garage gorillas; all are welcome to come and share knowledge and great food.
Jason Mavis will be cooking his Mancave brats again this year.
Food will be ready to eat at 7pm. There is no cover. Message me for more details if you need them.

Warmed up with some movement flows and the quick step drill
Axle Cleans 5x3x80kg
Axle Deadlift 275lbs 1/2/3/1/2/3/1/2/3
Squat 6x5x185 in 12 minutes
Notes: Groin flared up some on sixth set of squats so called it quits there. Nicki was over and I got sucked into some gripper closes. A decent session.
