Whether you were tired or not all that deadlifting and rack pulls would leave you pretty fried anyway - nice work

[helm]

that was almost 4t of weight moved, 3950kg according to my quick calculation.

3x180kg is great! the 500lbs aren't far - that's only 26kg more than 200kg. like nothing for you... do you have a projected date for that weight?

[BLUEBLAH]

Haven't checked your log for a while Mouse, your weights are inspiring.

[Mouse]

Thanks guys.

Helm - no specific date set - not going to tie myself down too much - although hoping before the year end but that's not set in stone.
It will happen when it's right.

Tired, difficult tonight.

Well, yeah. Like helm said, look at all that weight you moved around. Very inspiring!

[adamr]

Nice work Mouse. Looking forward to the 500lbs pull!

[KIB]

Good pulls, Mouse.
It will be interesting to see what you accomplish when the OHP falls under the same kind of scrutiny you've been applying to the DL!

Very good WO tonight. Pleased to get 6 reps out with 52.5 considering i've not been pressing for a while before starting on 5/3/1.
Grip training left my forearms bulging - shame they don't stay that way

Deload Wave next - falls quite well as i'm away for a couple of nights next week so will only be training Monday and Friday.
Then onto Cycle 2 - happy days.

Ahhhh...popye syndrome...nice.

Good stuff. The third week is the toughest for sure but you do have deload to look forward to!

Grip - 10kg - wind up / down 3x4

Is that with a length of pipe and winding a plate up and down with a bit of rope?
That is KILLER on the forearms, huh? Great w/out, Mouse.

And don't forget to tip your waitress...

...over far enough so she remains comfortable?

It's about 1.5' of garden fence post I had left over from making my dipping bars.
Currently standing on a small step ladder to gain additional height.
Definatley a good WO for the forearms.
