Tire Deadlifts

Rain was of and on today. I put out my carpet and it got soaked. Luckily I hadn't put the weights and bar outside. The rain cleared up by the afternoon. Let the Tire Deadlifts commence.

Leg Swings with band and Dynamic Stretches. 

Tire Deadlifts - (OH Grip) 3 sets/8 reps/235lbs, (OH Grip) 3 sets/6 reps/305lbs, (figure 8 straps) 2 sets/8,10 reps/355lbs.

I seriously considered doing one more set of 355lbs but my head really wasn't in it. Better than last time but leave a little for next time. Sounds like a good quote.

Yesterday I spent the day gardening. You would think gardening is relaxing. Don't you believe it. I got about 15k steps and about an hour of zone minutes. I burned 5,000 calories. Tough day.

Bit of goofing around today. I tried out two suits for Deadlifts. How'd it go? It sucked!

Truck Pull and Squats

Last week my friend invited me to pull a truck. Although the whole idea scared the crap out of me, the act of pulling a large truck with a harness is a "bucket list" event. The first was a large maintenance truck. It went well but I was overly cautious and nervous. My second attempt was with a transport truck. This time I threw caution to the wind and pulled hard.

Today is HOT!!! About 30°C in the shade of the garage. When I finished my shirt was soaked.

Rebounding - 30 minutes. 

Leg Swings and Dynamic Stretches. 

Squats - bar/12 reps, 135lbs/10 reps, 225lbs/8 reps, 315lbs/6 reps, 315lbs/3 reps, 315lbs/6 reps, 225lbs/10 reps.

Static Stretches. 

Burned about a million calories in the heat. Feeling good and healthy. Not really strong but I like feeling healthy.

My stomach still feels gurgly. Lot of gas and cramps. However, my energy levels feel better today. Spent the day running around so had to do a little something this evening.

I'm still baby weak overhead. It'll get better. On a positive note, I'm still losing weight. 329.8lbs this morning. I changed my times for taking Contrave and it seems to be helping. I take my first dose with breakfast around 1000 - 1100hrs. The second dose I take at 1800 - 1900hrs. It's really helping with my evening cravings. So far so good.
