Comments: Good to be back home. Got home at about 1:00 from Virginia so I was quite tired come morning. I didn't have access to weights while in VA for Thanksgiving but I did cut down a tree and split wood for about an hour and then went for a half hour walk. Went hiking for a little bit on Saturday. Felt tougher than last year with this extra 15lbs of weight I've added. Took quite a few naps out of boredom. Anyways, back to this workout. I was running a little late and as I drove by the Stable, I saw Joe leaving in the other direction. My first thought was ARGH!. Turns out Joe had to leave early to be with the family but Wes, Bill and Zack were there. I did some light, beltless yoke runs for speed. Felt good but I had the pick height up one too high so the yoke was nearly dragging if I didn't stay perfectly tight. I did some flips with the 860lbs and they were easy. I added the 300lbs tire to that. A bit tougher than expected so I decided to stick with it for several sets rather than try going heavier. Plus I was by myself after two flips with the combo tire setup. I didn't want to go after two events and the one I had in mind was just going to be awful so I did keg tosses again. I just took the two empty kegs and through them in sequence for six sets. Then it was time for the awful PLAY stone. I had told Andy we had a Husafell stone that was plateloadable. I figured I'd do some work with it as well make a demo. Despite my difficulties with it at first, I got many PR's on it. I'm most happy with the pick up and go with 350lbs after missing it. I want to be doing 400lbs off the ground in the future, especially to push Andy as he gets ready for the Arnold. I also cracked open the stone mold. Looks good but will need some sanding. Also sending out my entry form for Battle at the Barn III tomorrow. Looking forward to training with Andy and Mark at Brute Strength Gym this Saturday. These next couple weeks will be good.
