warmups
60x10
110x10
150x8
190x5
210x3
240x3
240x2
tired.
tbar rows
double under hand, strict pull from deadlift position as the bar just passes the knee (so standing as I would in a DL as bar is at knee then staying there and pulling the bar up):
115kgx8
125x8
135x8
150x8 - little leg and back movement here, actually felt like I was working something other than my grip though which is good.
Then as normal things kinda go odd.
Roll the 500kg tyre out into the road for some flips. I wasn't expecting anything other than normal back work so only had my flip flops with me (deadlift barefoot) so this wasnt going to be good.
Never flipped it before, so had to put this demon to bed.
first attempt - easy, boom!
got 2 more flips before giving up due to sweaty feet and no grip
stupid lol
thoughts:
deads were terrible, tbars were easy though that could be my smal ROM. tyre was awesome.
Half way through doing tyre some local Polish people who live just up from the unit saw us with the tyre and decided to come have a look and try it. They couldnt budge the tyre at all (to be expected really as they were thinner than my arms).
One of the women with them seemed to like me, kept taking pictures and getting her friend to take pics with her and me. No idea why as I looked stupid in my flipflops but she was happy enough lol.
They then followed us into the unit and the Pole blokes wanted to arm wrestle us!! They lost that each time (though one had some good strength for this!).
Crazy!
