Alright heres what I did today. I lifted with my friend who is a big Brett Favre fan. He's just coming back to the gym. He took about 6 weeks off:

bench press
barX12
135X12
225X10
275X3
315X2
345X0 (damn missed it. sometimes its good to get pinned. I dont see people ever getting pinned at my gym. I wish they'd try weights that they are not 100% sure they can get. I figure why try 325 or 335 that I know I can get. Why not try higher. I had a spotter too.)

incline dumbell benches
85sX10
95sX6
100sX4
90sX7

hammer strength decline machine iso wide chest
2 45 lb. plates each side X12
3 45 lb. plates each sideX10
3 45 lb. plates + 15 pounds each sideX6
3 45 lb. plates each sideX10

cable crossovers
60X12
75X12
80X12
90X12

Then we did 15 minutes of cardio. I did a mile on the treadmill in about 10 minutes.
did 1.33 miles altogether.

I did some bodybuilding exercises today. My friend likes those Muscle & Fitness type workouts. He was telling me about some 100 rep workout they had in it. You take like 30% of your max and do it 100 times. I wont be doing that. I really dont see the benefit in doing it once a week like they said. Alright everybody thanks for reading and peace.

Nice job on the raw skwatz, brother!

Just to let you know, I'm not ignoring your questions re: training with a crew. In fact, quite the opposite, you kinda got me brainstorming. I don't think I have a problem with intensity / focus training on my own, but my weak point is technique. One of my goals for this year was to find a way to work on that with more experienced strongmen on a more regular basis.

Crap, the year's half-gone and I haven't even started on that.

:sigh:

At one point, I was thinking about relocating to Salt Lake City so that I could train with Van Hatfield on a regular basis. I got to train with him once, and learned a ton. But with the economy and housing prices, that's not really a viable option.

Anyhow...sorry to ramble in your log.

Keep on lifting hard.

Hey BobW. Thanks for congratulating me on my raw squats. I really appreciate that. Yeah man I hear you about traveling. Gas prices here went up from about $2.00 to $2.65 for the cheap gas in the last month or so. If I had my own car, I'd be travelling an hour each way to that powerlifting gym I was telling you about. Supposedly they got bands and chains and all that stuff. If I ever get married Im moving there. I really think my lifts would go up in that environment. Yeah I hear you about the economy and housing prices. Doing strongman like you do or powerlifting like I do sure can be expensive. Good to hear from you BobW, keep lfting heavy brother.

Thanks TRON, Jordan Linteris, and Anonymous you guys made me laugh. :D My triceps are kinda sore today. Im looking forward to squatting and deadlifting on Monday. I wanted to mention also I just got my June issue of Powerlifting USA today, theres a really cool interview on Eric Talmant from our very own board in there. If you are a subscriber you know what I'm talking about and if you're not go to the newstand and pick it up. I agree with him pretty much 100% of the things he said in his interview about powerlifting. I like how hes doing those Raw Unity meets and focusing on the raw aspect of powerlifting.
