Week 2/Day 4-Sat

Babysitter was sick, so couldn't make it to MMA class but decided to pull out the keg...nothing like throwing in the cold, dark outside

A)25 pd plate "shot put" throw: 4X5

B1)keg clean and press:3X3
B2)keg carry, run, and throw:3X3
B3)keg power curl:3X8

**My son was out with me shot put throwing some 2.5 pd plates and using a 5 pd db to immitate the keg throws. To finish it up, he did a couple sets of rolling the keg across the yard.

The keg is a 15.5 gallon keg and is half way filled.

That's exactly what I have.. about how far do you throw it??

Not as far as I'd like. I didn't do like I used to where I'd throw it up and back behind me. I'll throw those in next week as a finisher. The keg carry, run, and throw is done like this--

Pick the keg up, once you're holding it at waste level, balance it on the knee and get your hands under so that you're "cradling" it. Now, run with it, jump, stop, and throw it. I'll prob start measuring these next week.

Thanks, MIR. I really feel so weak when doing those snatches, 'specially after watching strong folks snatch 300 pds plus. I'm really working towards getting 15 OH squats at bodyweight (ala recommendations of Dan John).
 
ok i'm a dumbass whats oh squat. i feel like i'm missing out on something good. i admire you guys. maybe some day i can lift like that! u rock keep it up. :)
 
OH squat=over head squat.

It's easy and brutal. Hold the dbs or bb over your head with straight arms and go to squating with keeping the weight over head.
 
Ha, brutal yes. But easy? Not for many... I sure know it wasn't for me when I first tried it a couple of years ago.. S:

E2)cable crunches@a lot

Then headed off for MMA in which my performance was low and nearly ended up puking.

Some thoughts--
*4 days of 5 hours of sleep or less has taken its accumulation
*I'm not used to working out in the morning or 45 minutes after waking up
*I was running on a couple hundred calories which apparently didn't fuel me near enough
*I let myself get very frustrated and it screwed up my entire workout

Orrrrrr........
I'm just weak and suck.
