No more weakness

[81Ort]

I thought I might try to get some feedback on what I might be doing wrong lately. I have felt like crap the last week and a half and I'm losing weight (not much but enough).

wed. 11/24/04
DL's. 135-12 225-8 315-5 405-3 495-2 605-1x10 singles with 30 sec rest between.
Gym closed early so this was all I could do.


Sat. events
felt like I had been hit by a truck (first time DL'ing in a while)
farmer's walk 355- 100ft. / 355- 120 ft. in ~20 sec.
these felt ok. just a little slow
medley (farmer's and drag 50ft.) 305 / 400 sled 22 sec.

atlas stones- wasn't in the mood to really lift so I just did the 400 with the tacky that was on the stone. -4ft. easy


Tues. Still not in the mood. Maybe because the temp has recently changed?
bench- warm-up/ 305-6/6/4 crapped out on the last set
DB low incline. 100-8/8/6 again crapped out
v-grip push downs. (tri's) 100-8 easy 130-8
reverse push downs 80-10
cleans (to work on form) 225-2 easy

I think I try to muscle up the clean too much. Any suggestions would be great

Sat. 12/4
I feel like I've been run over by a truck.

Exhibton for a neighborhood festival so I went all out.

log max 180-8 230-5 270-1 320(145.5 kg)-1 easy 340- (155) missed twice

Fire Truck pull- 35,000 lbs (15,900 kg) 55ft. -38 sec. the road was not totally flat

Medley
Farmer's walk/tire 400lbs. (182kg)/ 950 (432kg) 50 ft. 21secs. on the farmer's and a slow 5 flips 1:20 total

atlas stones. 40in. barrel with tire on top. 400 -1 easy 460-1 easy. ( took it easy because I was shot) 300- 5.5 ft. platform (no tacky)

65 degree incline log press for reps. 100kg- 16/ 12 -done
totally exhausted.

These are the workouts for the past week or so.

Dear Lord your a beast..

I have been reading through a lot of these journals and I have realized that a lot of you guys know a lot about nutrition. I consider myself well educated on the subject and I can write out other people's programs but I have a hard time getting myself in gear. I wanted to see what you guys would recommend for me:

I am a Strongman competitor so I don't need to be ripped but I do want a "clean" physique. I have a large frame and would say I am a meso/endomorph.
295-lbs
~15-18% bodyfat
6'4"
Program
mon.
back, bi's, forearms

wed.
Deadlifts/ rotate squats every third week
calves

thurs.
chest, shoulders, tri's

Sat.
event training

current diet: "see food"
I need more cardio for off days(sprint work, hill runs, etc.)

I appreciate any help

Body way more beat up than I thought.

stones (no tacky) 300, 330, 400 all easy, PR with the no tacky 400
Farmer's - 400 2 easy picks but no walk. my lower leg is killing me and when I try to walk with weight my right foot wants to turn in.

Yoke 820- 60ft. 2x same problem with foot. this was a PR anyway!

stone carry 330-210ft. just not my best day


Sat. helped at a contest
