Week five tapout xt 2 has been rough, only because I am also hitting the gym.

 

Body fatigue, but it is all good.

21:37. The gf ran a 20:44. Getting close. Forgot my HRM, pretty sure I could've pushed a little harder.

Your girls a beast.

This is for JCVD.

 

Lu Xiaojun snatching 176kg to set a new world record in the 77kg class. This was last week in Portland at the 2013 World Weight Lifting comp.

 

Here is his 205kg Clean & Jerk. What makes this so impressive is he squat jerks it. Anyone that wants to see how difficult this would be pick just a bar and grab it with your hands just outside of your shoulders (maybe 2 inches away from the smooth center part) Now try to squat with it over head and keep the bar directly above your head.

I watched both of those happen. Insane.

You're right about the squat jerk. Takes tremendous mobility thru the shoulders and t-spine, not to mention strength to pull off. But anyone who puts 200+kg overhead obviously doesn't have a problem with strength.

I would love to go watch this one year. I guess what makes what Lu can do so impressive to me, other then the obvious, is he is basically my size except 5-6lbs lighter. My max C&J is 205 and that is with a split jerk. These guys are freakin impressive.

I've had the opportunity meet and see Colin Burns, 85kg, train and he his frigging impressive. He is based out of Louisville now. Cleaned 181kg for a double and has snatched 161kg in training. To think that the top guys in the world are smoking those numbers is crazy.

Heading for Florida for the Ironman in about an hour. Let's do this. This is going to hurt.

Good luck.

Updates on Bugatti Ironman?

The last couple weeks my part time gig has turned into a full time gig, which has affected the regular workouts.

Hats off to all of you who work full time and still make the workouts part of your daily routine.

 

Got out yesterday for a 4 mile run. Today it's Max Cardio Conditioning.

 

How about the rest of you? Getting outside to enjoy the last bit of Fall beauty?

Updates on Bugatti Ironman?

On the bike right now. Had a good swim. Looking pretty good.

I've been sick for the past week so I've been resting and taking antibiotics to get better. Probably not all that bad having to take a week off to let my body rest because I hadn't done that in a few months
