Here's a very very awesome video. Jason Kristal log pressing 432lbs. It's the unofficial US record. Only unofficial b/c it wasn't in a sanctioned competition, but it looks like he'll easily break it next time he enters a competition with a max log.
it's crazy how fast the strength in strongman competitors is progressing. I talked to Frank about this briefly. You look at competitions from 20 years ago, and they are doing lifts that are now in lightweight AM competitions. Just awhile ago, a 300 log was a real good press. Now, we have people getting close to 450. It's just insane.
Nice short shorts.
pfft. ha ha. What a Nancy.

CG Bench:
175x1
185xmiss
180x1 (i sadly think this is a pr, and possibly the slowest bench ever.)
155x3
Sled Drag:
250lb+sled (i think around 300lbs).
this was brutal. i drug the sled in the 10degree weather outside b/c there was no snow, then when i couldn't move it anymore, i took off 2 35lb plates, and dragged it some more.

12" Log (speed):
90x3x6
110x3
110x1 (felt slow so called it there)
90x4 (ridiculously fast. i'll bump it up to 110 for speed next week)
Bent Over Rows:
2 sets
Plate Pinches (10s)...
i worked up to 4 10s. I broke 5 10s off the floor, but they wouldn't move any further.
things felt good today. got a new log in the mail today, so i had to play around with it. I took some videos, but i can't find my camera cord. When i find it, i'll post them.

You spend too much time looking at pictures, and not enough time lifting heavy things.
Also, you need to get yourself a girlfriend. Pronto.
That's right, I said pronto.
Oh, but don't stop posting these pictures

Front Squats (really high volume):
95x3x2
115x3x2
135x2
145x2x3
150x2
155x2
165x2
145x2
115x5
115x4
Log Cleans:
90x3
140x1x3
160x1x3
I usually don't post all my warmups and everything, but i just did it to show how many sets i did. I felt good, so i kept going until the squats started to feel hard. I need more volume to build! First time really doing log cleans. 160 feels so awkward on my chest. ug.
I might be going up to Chad's on Saturday instead of friday this week. Probably will do events, but i dunno. I have both friday and saturday off work after working 9 days straight, and i don't think the roads will be cleared of the 18" of snow that we've gotten so far (and, it's still snowing).
And, for matthew....
