Triskaidekaphobia - Joshua's Training

**Joshua** · 27th January 12, 02:12 PM

Tues-Thurs got the bike out and rode a few miles a day. One day I made two, 3 mile trips, the next I made a 3-mile trip early and a 7 mile ride in the evening.

Today I did nothing, the sky has been menacing all day. Tomorrow I need to find myself a gym, tonight, a birthday party for a good friend.

I know it's been warm lately down South but not THAT warm!

Nice work with the barbell, Josh.

Been sick all week, so today was a suckfest. I've done nothing all week, coming into a workout was rough.

I'm MC'ing a strongman competition next weekend, so I've got to find an alternate gym to train at since the event is going on during my normal training time.

Powerclean and Powerjerk
2x2@50kg, 1x2@70, 1x2@80, 1x2@85, 1x2@90kg (198lbs), 1x1@95kg (209lbs)

Powerclean
2 singles @ 100kg (220lbs), 3 misses at 105kg (231lbs) booo!

Clean Pulls
2x110kg, 2x115kg (253lbs), 2x120kg (264lbs)

Lots of "move the weight fast". I like it.

I missed Saturday's session so I could MC a strongman competition all day.

It was very cold, very windy, and I'm sunburned all to heck. I was sore for 3 days afterwards, just by standing in the cold for 9 hours. I didn't anticipate the cold so I wore a polo shirt with an 8-yard kilt, at least I wore my docs so my feet were warm. My hands were the coldest throughout the day, having no pockets to keep them warm and holding a clipboard and microphone, so I could not tuck them under my arms (plus I was continually fighting the wind, using my clipboard to keep the kilt down...

Next year I'll make sure to wear a sweater.
