Morba's New Log: Time to step up, more cake!

Strong number of sets on that Axle rack
What's your normal incline DB? I'm guessing it's much higher than that if you do it before a load of axle work
Yeak, max strict then the 90/80% drops after just dont work in terms of volume for me. it's too little lol.
Not sure on incline, in terms of db's we have my adjustable ones to 30kg each and the solid 45kg ones. I'll try some incline before doing other work next time I go to virgin, though they only have 50's i think. Hmm.
Yeah thought I'd start a new one for my step up
We've put ourselves into a team comp in September, up in rotherham.
Event 1...... 18" Deadlift, the weight is a massive 300kg for reps - 75 seconds time limit, requires 1 team member.
Event 2...... log, the weight is 110kg for reps - 75 seconds time limit, requires 1 team member
Event 3...... 120kg Farmers and 230kg Yolk tag team, distance is 20 mtrs, farmers first then must tag team member who then goes with the yolk, requires 2 team members
Event 4...... This is a Loading Medley, requiring 2 team members to load two items each one at a time tagging over to load the next item, the items are 65kg keg, 100kg keg, 125kg barrel and a 100kg sack
Event 5...... The Van deadlift make of van to follow (won't be light)
Event 6...... The classic stones of strength, this event requires ALL 6 team members to load one stone each, weights to follow
Event 7...... 250kg Frame Carry and 300kg Tyre flip, requires two team members, frame carry first and then tag over to the second team member for 6 flips of the tyre
*** this could end up being tug of war for all of team
I'll be doing the 18" deadlift (will be doing 18s on thurs to see if I can at least pull 300 from 18"!), one of the stones and unsure if anything else. Fine by me as it's a week after my static comp.

I'm glad I did some overhead on monday as last night was near on pointless. few friends turned up for some circus db training as they have it in a comp soon which meant our normal stuff went out the window.

Wanted to do more, but no space. The 110s were not as good as the 90's, it's like all i was doing before was forgotten and minimal leg work came back!
circus db (all right arm only)
33x5
43x5
53x1
63x1
no time to try a pb, had to go. shame. just gotta keep using legs, where I think i am over dipping I am actually about getting it right, just it seems a big dip because I dont really do much than slight bend of the knees normally lol

Yeah, sometimes things get ninja filmed, generally not when I'm doing anything though as I tend to shout at the person for filming me
I was doing double dips with the push presses on the lighter logs, but not on the 110, just gotta keep repping the lower weights and build it up

So you're not filming because you're shy? GTFO.
I shy away from cameras of any sort lol.
At a friends wedding, the official tog took over 500 photos. I managed to be only in the background of a few and was in 1 main photo. Good work me
Congratulations.
Post a video.
Deadlifts. order of the day is 18" for heavy reps.
Get to gym and people are packing the van with plates.... umm..
New toy has been bought, we're off to the park apparently!
New toy - sled.
Going to the park:
Sled, heavy keg, 200kg plates, harness, rope, chain, duck walk.
Oh ****, i hate stuff like this!!
Sled pulls (not inc weight of sled):
100kg 20m
100kg 20m
75kg 20m turn 20m
sled harness
100kg x 20m
100kg x 20m
medley:
keg 15m, 70kg sled 5m, duck walk 110kg 10m
turn
duck walk 110kg 10m, 70kg sled 5m, keg 15m
62 secs. Not bad for me!
sled arm over arm while standing
75kg x 5m, 3 times quickly
75kg x 5m, 3 times quickly
Then because we had stuff...
tug of war, I won against everyone (2 are as heavy as me so not just a weight thing
)
25kg plate overhead throw - about 5 meters was my furthest in 3 attempts.
Then to help pack up, 130kg duck walk 30m from grass to van.
Thoughts:
I hate conditioning. Never realised how hard on the quads sled drag is!!

Oh my holy hell, far too hot tonight.
everyone else buggered off to the park again for more conditioning, i wanted to do overhead though so stayed at the unit and boiled.

didn't have much time and it was boiling, was sweating like mad all night. not good.
happy with the double dips, knees were a bit wobbly and at one point in the first 100kg set i was tempted to sack it off, but kept going.
strict press was a disappointment, but given the heat it was expected that i would be a bit down on strength!

feet stayed on the floor, so not quite a jerk. or is a double dip classed as a jerk? no idea on that one myself! lol.
Today was not a good day for pics or videos, I looked like pizza the hut under a hot grill for too long!

Mmmmm... Pizza.
Push jerk doesn't necessitate feet leaving the floor... That just happens with most people.
If you check out some of Pyrros Dimas' push jerks, he just nods his head and the bar somehow winds up a foot above it...
The only trick with the jerk is the 'instant' lock out... Beyond that, how the bar goes up is up to the lifter...

Ah well there is still a bit of a push out at the end on the heavier stuff, it's not as full at 100+ as it is under it for example lol. But its all practice, just gotta keep doing it and the split jerks as it will all help me in the future!
Crazy stuff. would have done more if i had the time too!
So, deadlift wednesday.
Lets just say that the evening started with the floor getting worse than it already was by the stone platform leading to us binning deads.
No one had done overhead yet this week and that wasn't gonna be floor affecting, so we did overhead.
2 nights of overhead in 3 days for me. great.
strict log for me then:
70x10
70x10

80x5

95x3

90x4 - ah crap, tri's dead.
70x10
Done.
Not ideal but happy to do more shoulder and tri work tbh as push pressing on monday didnt hit me the same.
after that we pulled up the mats and realised that we need to re-lay the concrete before we do anything else in the unit. ****.

Lack of training due to lack of unit. We ****ed the floor up so had to smash it up then relay it all. That was done during normal training sessions then 5 hours of bloody hard graft on Sunday!
Overhead monday: done outside the unit where we have less space than inside!
Strict axle press (crap flooring and no space meant all strict today)
Clean first rep, press from chest the rest:
40x10

From here the weights are an approximation, we don't know exactly how heavy the 2 tyres are that we put on
