Triskaidekaphobia - Joshua's Training

**Joshua** · 20th January 12, 11:23 AM

Kip - I'm pretty sure that triskaidekaphilia is a different thing all together (think of the difference between necrophobia (fear of) and necrophilia (obsession with)).

Anyway...

Been bouncing off the walls today, during a work-from-home day.

For my "lunch break" I did about 15 kettlebell clean+squats with a 30kg (66lb) kettlebell, 25 goblet squats with the same kettlebell, and tabata pullthroughs. Done in 15 minutes. Heart.Pounding. Eating lunch now, grass-fed porterhouse...

Working the "sore" out today.

1.6 mile walk in 20 minutes, sparked by a couple of 50-yard sprints with the puppy.

3 mile *very leisurely* bike ride in 40 minutes.

I think besides another mile of walking tonight, I'm going to take it easy today. I'm gonna start a pot of chili, the wife is gonna chop off my hair, I'm going to take a shower, and then a nap. When I wake up, CHILI POWERUP!

Nothing wrong with a 220 powerclean!

Yeah go light and pretty for a while in the squats to remember how to keep your back straight and firm up that core.

Good work!

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.
