Depending on funds, an old tire with a u-bolt driven through it works great as a sled. Bigger tires = more fun :)

REALLY hard (read: impossible) to push though :D

Good work on the PR's.

i wonder if pops has any old tires in his garage....hmmm.

man, if you can't find an old tire (I personally think semi tires would be awesome, but you probably couldn't plate load them without buiding some platform or whatever) you are doing something wrong.

I've got a 205lb tire sitting in my garage that I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it. Too light to flip it... save it for my boy when he is old enough to start? Drive a big mother f-ing bolt through it and turn it into the world's heaviest and most troublesome sled? Trying to drag it would probably be equal to a hummer pull... maybe worse because there is no way to build momentum. I've thought it might be a good way to train for pul events that require a harness and a rope to pull.

Anyway, getting your hands on a used tire should be far easier than getting a fat girl to eat cake :D

DE Squat day

Started with box squats, parallell box, and speed was good, I think I'm getting the hang of sitting waaay back on the box better now.I can def feel it hitting the PC more sitting back so far.I do need to stay a bit tighter tho.Moved to Deadlifts next, was going to pull for speed but things felt good and I'm a bit egotistical :biglaugh: so I worked up.I hit a friggin sweet looking 150kg and thought fuck it I'm gonna go for a PR, moved up to 165kg on the bar and got it.It doenst count tho in my book cos it was tooo Ugly!! I was pissed I lost form and my back rounded out a bit and it looked like shit.I think I need to work my low back and abs even harder.Weak Core being the culprit.Finished with extensions and abs.

DE Squat Day 11/7/08
Box Squat @ 50% 10x2 65kg
Deadlift Few Singles @ 80kg, then 1x1 140kg, 150kg 165kg (uglier than Britney nowadays)

DE Bench Day AM
Speed felt good on bench again, I got a vid I'll up too, just for a form/setup check.Did 9x3 with about 55%.Moved to supersets of rows and dumbell presses next.This was good I did the presses standing 1 arm at a time.Its good to give the militaries a break.Finished off with some tri extensions and facepulls.

DE Bench day 12/7/08
Bench 9x3 3 Grips @ 55% 55kg

PM- GPP Sled drags 12 mins in grass with 35kg.I did some different types of pulling today to have a mental break, sled dragging can really kick your ass.I pulled backwards for a bit rowing with the sled as I walked and also pulled forward bent over with the weight in my hands.Good workouts today I earnt my pizza I think.:)
