This was the last day of heavy lifting for a week. I skipped the deload week on the last cycle to maintain heavy lifting right up to the last week before competition. I am tired and ready for a week of light lifting.

Deadlift day: 3X 330,375,425. 1X475. This will be the entry level lift a week from Saturday.

Ancillary: Front squat: 3X5X95. Back Squat: 3X10X200.

Looking forward to being at Tribal tomorrow and some met-con's.

Thanks . John. Slow lifting is just more easy when fast lifting (ply lifts) are out of the question. Good time at Tribal today. 400 meter lung for time. 26.20. Strength:OHP:3x140,160,180. Couldn't get third. Oh well, another day.

4/30 Open WOD 6

3 Barbell Thrusters (100lbs / 45kg)
3 Chest to bar Pull-ups
6 Barbell Thrusters (100lbs / 45kg)
6 Chest to bar Pull-ups
9 Barbell Thrusters (100lbs / 45kg)
9 Chest to bar Pull-ups
12 Barbell Thrusters (100lbs / 45kg)
12 Chest to bar Pull-ups
Etc.

3 rounds plus 12 thruster plus 11 C2B (yes, I C2B short of 4 rounds) = 59.
Have I mentioned how hard heavy thruster are?! Good God this wiped me out! On the bright side, this is the most C2B pull ups I have ever done in one WOD. Thanks to Migs for counting and keeping me honest. There were several "no rep" thrusters and several more "no rep" C2B's. Grr.

woke up this morning. wife says lets take the dogs for a walk/run. dumb a** me agree's.

from where she lives (we are married but don't actually live together. only see each other on the weekends. life is better this way:rofl:) to the trail head is about 100 m. we get to the trail head and she takes off running. so do i and ask her for how long? she says just come on till i stop. damn if she did not suck me in for 5 k.m. of running on the trails. she has been running for over 25 years and ran me into the ground. it was the first time in the 7 years we have been together that we have ever run together.

we did walk for 2 k.m. to get back to her place however and i did get to carry her on my back up the last hill for about 1/4 mile so all in all the day was not a waste.

Drove to Montreal to help my daughter and her roommates move house.

[B][U]April 30[/U][/B]
Packed up my daughter's house and did the following workout:
Ran from the hotel up to the top of Mont Royal and back twice (7 miles, 61 minutes, 1100 feet of hills, Avg. HR 144, Max HR 164)
Stretched

Felt good but had a momentary lapse of coordination on the trail and left with a souvenir (see attachment :shrug:). Elbow and hands got it pretty good too. What a klutz! Still had to run back up the hill again one more time after falling. Got a few interesting stares.

Moved house in the morning. New house was up a winding staircase with 51 steps:yikes:. Totally beat. Drove back to NJ.
