With the kids out of school and other activities, it gave me the time to visit my old gym. Boy I miss this place! My training the last few months has been ho-hum and I have not been lifting real heavy. Been a few months since I even deadlifted. Decided to jump in with some guys. Went up to 585. Did 2 and my belt felt like sh!t. (gained too much weight and it felt too tight). I stripped it off and continued the set and did 3 more. My buddy stopped filming, and then restarted when he figured out I was still going.
Never deadlifted 585 with no belt....was just pissed off enough that I stripped off the belt and said fuk it! Felt fine.
Later as I was finishing up, some guys were doing farmers walks. I have never done them before so I decided to try. These are 205lbs (handles weigh 25lbs). It is very different. Quite a core workout. The handles have no knurling so I was thinking grip might be a issue.....but it was no big deal. Did not want to push it as I deadlifted heavy earlier so I did two sets and see how I feel tomorrow!
I needed this a lot. Getting ready to go on a extended cut starting after the new year.
Happy new years guys!
