I know the heat wave would of ruined a lot of peoples new years resolutions.

Its hard to judge the depth I find, i'll keep working at them though

When I do sled or chain drags, I get a good hard pull initially with all my BW, and then as soon as it starts moving, lots of quick choppy steps. The key is to just keep it going, and don't let it stop or you're screwed. I did an easy 600lb drag this way. Like you said, it's not too bad when you get used to it.

yeah, thats hot. my gym doesnt have AC and last summer it was close to 30C in the gym.. After deadlifts there was like 2 inches of sweat on the ground and I went through a hell of a lot of chalk. Way to get through it. Ill take the cold over the heat for training anyday.

its weird it didnt feel too hot (must be getting used to it, this is the 3rd week of it)
and even weirder is that I didnt sweat as much as I usually do, theres normally puddles on the ground, maybe the sweat evaporated straight off me

next week its meant to be a lot cooler 23C (73F), i cant wait

Yeah im sure you adapted somewhat. I went to Moab Utah like 2 years ago and it was right around 40C for the week I was there. The last couple days you dont notice it near as much.

Still, remind me not to move to austrailia. I hate heat. I'm debating moving to the Yukon (right beside alaska) actually.. I dont think it gets to 35 degrees there.

It's been pretty hot here too, up above 40 a fair bit, 43 on saturday for my bench session.

The heat doesn't affect my training at all though, it just means I'll sweat more - especially with the rehbands now! Most people are just pussies.

I just don't like heat when I'm trying to get some sleep.

random thoughts for the day

- Weighed in at 84.8kg this morning, going to make a run at 90kg for the next little while, lets make it 91kg so im over the 200lb mark.

- saturday morning events stuff hasnt happened yet, and probably wont as it always seems to be my catch up day. Im thinking about having an events week every 5th week

90 x 3
100kg x 1 x 2
105kg x 1 x 3

b - sled drag - backward
140kg x 20m x 4 PR

c - RDL
85kg x 8

tried to do the RDL's but could barely stand up, ha.

Last few reps I was getting the form down a bit better.
Need to stay ALOT tighter at the bottom
