Farmers and Vikings

The intent today was to do several Farmers holds for around 30 seconds. However, I received a slight twinge on my upper right hamstring from Log work on Wednesday. I did a bit but felt like I needed to move on to something else.

Rebounding (with grip work) - 30 minutes.

Farmers Hold - 2 sets/215lbs per hand/20 sec.


Viking Press - 2 sets/160lbs/12 reps, 2 sets/175lbs/12 reps.


Feeling good.

Log Press

For Christmas Santa brought me a log. It's a smaller diameter / shorter log. That's perfect for the smaller space I train in. With the charity log lift coming up in March it's time to train.

Rebounding - 30 minutes.

Log Lift - log (70lbs)/6 reps, 120lbs/6 reps, 3 sets/4,5,5 reps/170lbs.


Cable Triceps Ext - 2 sets/12 reps/30kg.

Standing Barbell Press - 2 sets/6,12 reps/135lbs.


Not bad considering I haven't touched a log in over a year. For sure it will get much better. My initial goal will be the same as it was last year, 220lbs.

My hip felt much better this morning. It was still present but didn't hinder my morning routine.
