KEGGER!!!!!

Sat. Nov. 10
Juijitsu 90 min. class

Mon. Nov. 12
Starting next phase of the training in week 7 & 8
According to the dvd www.philpfistertrainingvideo.com this is where events training started coming in.
So today was an event day kind of.....

Keg Carries 170 lbs. full of water. As many carries as I could in 1 hour around the backyard!
(An idea from a Steve Justa article in MILO about keg loading. But Justa's idea is to do this for 2 - 3 hours, loading 100 200 lbs. kegs. Realistically as much as I like his writings and a lot of his ideas sometimes I think Steve gets a biy overzealous in his articles and some ideas are good and some are kinda out there.

Was a killer work out on my legs and sides and cardio. I'll probably feel it til next week. :P But got a bit monotonous. Especiially if someone WOULD try to do it for 3 hours!! I have to wonder how intense you'd be working in that 2 - 3 hours too. I was working pretty hard at a good pace with only a couple breaks for a few minutes and was DEAD!)

Put the keg inside now from the shed before it gets too cold and freezes. But I wanted to get that work out in and I had a stressful crappy weekend so I needed to get down and in the dirt (and rain) and get a bit primal!

Used the mixed grip pick up tipping it and/or deadlifting it by the lips of the barrel. That took extra out of my legs pushing them through against the weight to go forward.

After work at the gym....
