Wild. Makes oberst look like a chump with his “log record holder” stuff

 

That's cause Oberst is a chump... He never does anything but talk shit and never back it up

 

You’re gonna be up there with them soon. Gonna have to put em in their place.

 

You mean Columbus Day?

 

Come on @weldertaco get this shit straight, worlds strongest gay man and then theres the worlds gayest strongman. Geeze!
Very clear and distinct differences.

It was formerly known as Columbus Day or celebrate a rasicist vicious genocide leader Day.

 

24 today.

Went pretty well. I did this run Luke Skywalker style. The only gear, food, and liquids I had were...


I had all my food and fluids in my vest.

Speedgoats were pretty solid. Comfortable the whole way, and I didn’t trip on the thick soles which was my fear. Did very well straight out of the box on a 24 miler.


I could easily do another 6 miles for a 50k (which is in two weeks). But to do 26 more for a 50M?
Yeah, I can tell its not going to be an enjoyable experience and I’m going to contemplate suicide multiple times during the race.

 

Leg day! Wooh. Favorite day. Front squats. Leg press. Kettlebells. Whatever else. stoked. Andddd miss having a coach. It’s so much nicer not having to plan or think about workouts lol

 

Agree leg day is the best day.

 

Just like at home right? You are told what to do, when to do it, how to it, and (alot of times) how you're doing it wrong.

 

There’s something so relaxing about not having to think

 

Building up this week to prep for a heavy/max next week. I have not lifted over 85% in a long time so it should be fun.

 

I’m such a fanboy. Excited to see this.

 

Lmao it won't be super impressive nor will I post numbers....

Idk how much actual training stuff I'll post on IG coming into this January comp. It's gonna be huge and I'm defending champ, don't want everyone to know what I'm bringing.

Heavy leg day was fun. Did 5x3-4 front squats, some leg extensions, yoke walked probably 400ft total, some squat machine stuff and then a leg press burnout.

scale said 203lbs today so I’m staying decently consistent on weight while training which means I gotta be slowly burning fat and gaining muscle, yea?

 

Cheap flights to Portland right now! Go have a ball

 

Just keep watching the scale, the mirror, and paying attention to how you feel in the gym. You'll know if you are successfully recomping or not.

 

My race is in two weeks, given the scale has been creeping up I'm going to try to drop a couple lbs between now and then. Lets see if my body cooperates or not.

Yesterday on the trail I realized when it comes to trail endurance running, at least for me, I don't fight physical energy when I'm out there, not really running fast enough where that's a problem. I fight more muscular fatigue persistently past a certain point.

I have no idea how runners who don't seriously lift survive ultras. I feel like I need to work so much more on heavy lifts to improve my long distance running, like people who don't do that how do you get any better?

My hip flexors are my greatest weakness. So this week I'm going to try to do more squats and work on getting the weight up.

 

I worked yesterday and got paid double time to do so. Grateful for that sick bastard.

 

My wife is a psycho...it happens to be my birthday today but more importantly it’s legs day. She suggested I do sets of 43 reps for my age...and, being a man challenged by his wife I can no longer walk.
