DB 32kg farmer carries, 3 sets, about 90 seconds or more for each set (up from DB 28 kgs last week)
This was pretty tough in some ways. Very little rest on the pull-ups because we were at a busy station at Greenlake and I just didn't want to deal with a bunch of people that were around, so I hogged the equipment and went pretty much fast as hell, which is tough with this type of work. Ideally I could take a walk between sets, take the belt off, etc. etc. but it is what it is. I will say this, the body weight pull-ups to warm up were such a piece of cake I was almost laughing. Doing a few weeks of weighted pull-ups has made my starting position for bodyweight so much easier - its like I am shooting up out of a canon. So that's pretty dam cool. Also to close today the DB 32kg farmers were excellent, felt like I had a really strong grip on the bells and this was really solid. As I write this, I really feel the fatigue kicking in. The last couple of reps on some of the weighted sets were way harder than I would like, and I probably had to dip into an energy reserve a bit to eke those out. There's no reason at this point in my mind to increase reps or weight any further. I need to spend a bit of time here with the 12kg and really getting this nailed down.
