8 minutes of pain Medley
Yesterday was Zack's 22nd birthday. So, we decided to take part in a special "puker" Medley to celebrate.
Seems like my workout crew and I like to do sick stuff like this when one of our birthdays comes up.
- 694 lb Tire Flip for 22 meters
- Sled Drag with a keg & person for 22 meters
- Farmers Walk 234 lbs in each hand for 44 meters (1.5" diameter handles)
BRUTAL. My legs were jello after the Sled Drag, so it sucked picking up the Farmers Walks cause it was tough to stand up with the cylinders. I felt like I was walking through a swamp and like I weighed 1,000 lbs. As you can see, it took 2 videos to film cause it took me forever to recover to finally finish the Farmers Walk.

Raw Powerlifting contest results (Lynwood, WA)
I competed today up in Lynwood, Washington.
Weighed in at 311 lbs
Squat: 285 kilos (628 lbs)
Bench: 187.5 kilos (413 lbs)
Deadlift: 265 kilos (584 lbs)
Total: 1625 lbs
Pretty happy with my last squat. I think I could have done at least 10 lbs more on the 3rd attempt.
Bench press was never my best lift, and I don't train it in Strongman cause we do everything overhead. I might have had another 10 lbs in me though.
Deadlift was terrible. I had a cortisone shot in my L5 last August, so my back strength is weak pulling a bar off the floor. I had a herniated disk and narrowing of the channels. This also affected my squatting, but my squats were on point today!
Need to build my deadlifts up to more than 600 lbs, so I this will be a main focus.
Overall, I went 9 for 9 and on paper broke the Raw records for WA state in my class, except for the Bench Press (435 lbs).
Maybe, I will compete in a Raw USAPL meet this year in WA to officially break those state records.
Thanks!

Seattle Seahawks home finale
It was the Seahawks last game of the '09 NFL regular season, and my friend Brian invited me to go to the game with him.
The Seahawks lost 17-14 to the Tennesse Titans, but I am saving my ticket stub. Titan's running back Chris Johnson, became only the 6th man in NFL history to run for over 2,000 yards in a season. For only his 2nd season in the NFL, thats pretty awesome!
Too bad it was at the Hawks expense!
