Comments: I think it's been over a month since I was last down at the Stable in Chambersburg. Figures my first day back happens to be the most muggy and humid day this year. Compared to today's sweatfest, yesterday was a trickle. I'm talking full blown Sweat-con 5. Joe had some new goodies (they had canceled his summer strongman program at the highschool). Did some reps with the light sandbags and then went for the 250lber (some water got in it so it probably weighs more). Got it up to my chest easy but barely got it off of the chest. Stupid idea as it tweaked something in my neck. Probably from trying to overhead press a sandbag that weighs over 100lbs more than the heaviest one I've pressed. I did a bit of contemplating and tried it again getting above my head but no further. Did the 150lber again for some reps. Keg carries were tough. They were slippery, I was slippery, it wasn't pretty. I took five steps and the thing slid out of my arms with both 180lbs and 240lbs. I had to hold it in a comprised position that was not too friendly on the groin. I noticed after my run with the 240lber that my left hand was bleeding from when it slid out so I cleaned that up and taped it. The 350lbs keg was a lot more manageable as I could actually get a good hold on it. A little tough but I could have done further. Stones I did a new drill to work on my extensions. I did one rep to the high platform (57") then added a tire (65") did a rep and then added another tire (73") to finish the set. The 73" load was really tough on the first set and I almost missed it on the second and had to press it in. The third set was great as I launched it over the tire right into the center. Stones felt great. Joe was doing some sprints with his super prowler (the thing is massive) and I figured it wasn't right to just let him do them alone so I did two sets down and back. So besides the muggy and humid day, the rain, the sliced finger and the tweaked trap muscle, it was a good day.
