Thursday, July 07, 2011 - Active Rest Day

So yesterday I took my 475 squat video and posted it on Facebook. I'm not sure what I was trying to accomplish by doing that. The more I thought about it the more it worked on me so I took it down. It is a video capture of a moment I spent in the gym and nothing more. In the grande scheme it does nothing but document a step I took on this journey. I'm not strong. It isn't a great accomplishment. It was a step to a larger goal and nothing more. It is here for later reference on form or to document progress and in reality it doesn't need to be anything more than that. Hopefully in a year from now I can look back on it and see just how weak I was in that video.

The Continental Clean (and Press)

I pulled this from Rob Orlando's site, www.strongmanwod.com. If you stumble across my page here make sure you check out that site. It is growing and there is going to be a ton of information there regarding strongman movements. Below is Rob's description and a few videos.

Continental Clean
For the continental clean you will deadlift the bar with a mixed grip. Then hang clean it to the top of your belly. At this point you will need to lean back and stick out your gut as far as possible. While you’re leaning back you need to “pop” the bar up and switch your grip to a double over. From there you will “pop” the bar off your belly up to the rack position. There are several stages to this lift so you need to be patient. Practice light and slowly build up in weight.

Multiple Days

I don't have much to report at all. Training has gone totally by the wayside and sleep has taken over. I'm just so dang tired all of the time. I have been working 3+ week hitches and haven't had more than 6 days off in a row since May.

I did get in some overhead presses one day and I have been doing neck harness work pretty religiously. I have worked up to sets of 50x25x5 on that.

Time to get back in the gym. NQ. Never, ever, ever, ever fucking quit.
