Had to get in the last workout today, tomorrow I'm flying to Atlanta to visit family. Not sure what the gym scene is in Hiram, GA but I wasn't really given a warm fuzzy by Google search. I imagine there will be a sufficient amount of running, and some playground workouts if I cant find anything else.
Maybe I'll just grab heavy things from Mom's garage and just run around the yard with them; entertain the neighbors a little, who knows?
Todays workout:
Back Squat 3x5 @ 255#
Dips 3x10
Situps w/med-ball throw 25-20-10
I'm fairly sore from yesterday's tire flipping/sledge hitting shenanigans. Honestly didn't thing I'd be that sore but I guess I have been neglecting the tire lately, and I paid my dues for it.
My wife managed to gank my last Kill Cliff, which she enjoyed...so now I have to order enough for the both of us... At least we'll be in the Atlanta area for 10 days and I can get it from a store...boom!

Gettin it in On-the-Job
This last three days were LONG! It was my last cycle before taking leave in Georgia. On the last day I spent a little time in the gym. (we have one in the area where we work)
Granted, lifting heavy things while having less than 10 hrs sleep over three nights isnt the most productive thing in the world, neither is not doing shit in the gym for three days.
Worked up to heavy singles on deadlift at 385#. After that I threw 115# and the bar and did sets of 5 on strict press until it became impossible (with pullups x 3 in between), the did sets of 5 push-press. Really trying to get my overhead strength way up. Finished up trying out the Klokov Press with an empty bar for a couple reps...That one could get ugly down the road, its brutal!
Klokov press is essentially a wide snatch-grip, behind the neck, strict press, or SGBTNSP if you're an acronym loving crossfitter. It was made popular by the Russian weightlifting phenom/psychopath for which it is named.
Here is a video of the beast from Lift-Run-Bang doing it at 185# for 9 reps.
In other news, Kill Cliff hit a deal with GNC, that means you can get that shizz anywhere soon!

Georgia on My Mind
So in about a week, I'll be hopping on a plane to GA and visiting family for about 10 days, including a trip to Water World, and hopefully, Falcons Training Camp. Otherwise this has been a fairly normal off cycle.
I made an attempt to hit up my (sort-of) college gym, unfortunately they wont let you in if your not registered for classes. So I turned around and headed to Midtown Sports and Wellness for a little workout:
Back Squat 3x5 @ 250#
Press 3x5 @ 120#
Seated Dumbell Press 2x5 @ 50# each
First time ever doing dumbell presses but I think I need to incorporate more overhead shoulder stuff, seeing as how its my weakest point.
BTW, that was yesterday.
Today was spent at the base gym for deadlifts (only place I can use chalk...). So today's workout went a little like this:
Deadlift 5-5-5 (315#-335#-335#)
Bench Press 3x5 @ 185#
I didn't feel very sore. This may be due to the fact my Kill Cliff came in a couple days ago and I've been drinking the shit out of it.
If you've never heard of (or tried) Kill Cliff its the first "recovery drink" on the market. (that's not a protein shake) It is very refreshing and the ingredients have anti-inflammatory properties as well as some other benefits. Its also not LOADED WITH CRAP like Red Bull, Monster and the ton of other gut bombs available in your local truck stop.
I drink the hell out of it regardless of the fact I can only get it online for now. If you want to try it, click on any where in this post that says Kill Cliff and order a case, you WONT be disappointed.
