Noonish
D2B2 Bench. My body is freaking busting apart!!! First workset on bench and my left medial delt (which has been bugging me for a few months) gave me a good zap. Fhaak!!! Maybe just hit it again after a relax period.
Maybe some grip but body workouts until this time next week. Next Thursday and Friday I'll do very light (70% working weights and volumes) to keep my groove and begin another cycle after that.

D1B2 - Squat
March 8, 2016
Afternoon
D1B2 Squat. Sticking with some belt less stuff. Only threw 365 on the bar as I know it's good for at least 70% for doing some work. Still hitting all of my accessory stuff like a bb and working on the pump.
Sunday had a great griptogether up in Edmonton. Brought some goodies up and went through them similar to how we would in a contest as well as going through the rules and techniques for the events. With a blend of strongmen, HG athletes, armwrestlers, and powerlifters I think the 120+ weight class is going to be pretty stacked haha!
We went through grippers, Euro 2HP, axle deadlift, 2" crusher & RT, Napalm's Nightmare, Climbers Tips Tester, hub lift, and flat and key pinching with a 1/4" plate.
