Comments: Kind of ho-hum training, mostly light and form work stuff. A tad fussy since I wanted to go hard but Joe was the voice of reason reining me in. Hip snatches were nothing to write home about. I did get pissed that I had to slightly press out 145lbs and then raged up the next three. Viking press felt good, I really wanted to go for 310lbs but I was told to keep it light so I did an easy five with 250lbs. Felt really good. Only thing that we went heavy on was zercher picks. Felt good, a little miffed to only get one lift with 590lbs. Stones were ugly. I hate the 290lbs granite stone, it's so small and I hate having to lap it. I one motioned the first three doubles and they were craptastic. Especially the third double. Lapped and loaded the next double and it was much better. I did one double with 324lbs and called it a day when I had to slightly struggle to extend. I look forward to resting this week. Made a video of my training for Iron City Classic and Battle of the Bad Ass 7.
