Diet update:
Bodyweight average last week: 189.4 Bodyweight average this week: 187.7 1.7 is a little on the fast side, I don't want to lose muscle, macros will stay the same in hopes of my metabolism adjusting slightly and losing only 1lb this upcoming week. I may even consume slightly more para-workout. ------- Sunday - Father's Day I was building farmer's walk implements and I got to a point in their construction and realized that my children could help me finisish them. So I invited them down to the basement and they pounded some bolts through the holes, put on lock washers and nuts, tightened them with my socket wrench and even helped me start to screw some wood screws. It was awesome building it with my kids, and they were really enthusiastic about it too, it was the best father's day present ever. I put the finishing touches on my farmer's walks last night and then tested them out. They look similar to these:  But don't worry, I will have video of them soon. The implements themselves weight 17lbs each, so 34 total. I put 25's on each post for 100lb additional, then 200, 300...no problems. Finally, 400 additional, so 434 total, no issues. Sweet, I will probably never need to farmer's walk 434, but it was nice to know it held that much. Visited with family, swam in the pool, burn the crap out of my skin. Good day.

You might be the Macgyver of weight training, everytime I come on here it seems you've built something cool.

 ------ 4:00 p.m. Push Day - Arm Focused Close Grip Board Press 120 (plus 15) 210 x 5 170 x 10 - full ROM OH Press - from forehead to lockout 90 (plus 10) 140 x 5 110 x 10 Elbows Out Extension - 60 seconds rest 30 x 12, 10, 9 Well, the arm focus definitely worked, my triceps were blown up after this, as well as my delts. I feel like I got the right amount of chest stimulation as well, enough to maintain, but the focus was definitely on my arms/delts. ------ 7:00 pm Supposed to do conditioning with the "Tire Flip" gang. However, the crew was not there for the 2nd time. Needless to say, I was irritated, it was the 2nd time that I didn't even get so much as a call from the trainer to let me know. I will not be planning on joining those guys on Monday's anymore. I will stick to the other gym where I can flip tires.......te negative is that I won't have other strong guys to push me, the positive is that I can do it on MY schedule AND the tires at the other gym are bigger/better anyway! I did a little conditioning beside my house. I wanted to have a video to post, but for some reason it wouldn't work. I mixed things up. I had 1 inch rope, 100ft, so I doubled it up to make it 50ft and wrapped it around a telephone pole to do some heavy rope training similar to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtPrlGG8lNE Heavy Ropes - maybe 3 sets of 20-25 seconds Farmers Walk - only 100 added pounds 134 total - 4 reps of up/back, roughly 40-45 yards Sled Drags Tire (27lb) x 2 runs Tire + 25 x 2 runs Nothing to serious, just messing around to get the heart pumping a little. I may have gotten more intense, but my neighbor insisted on talking to me about my farmer's walk equipment, except, he was interested in making a closet with pipe and flanges similar to how I used the pipe and flanges. I am thinking, "C'mon! Can't you see I am trying to workout! I don't want to talk about a clothes rack in your closet."

I look forward to seeing some farmer's walks. Also, it figures those guys would be inconsistent with the tire flipping/GPP, it's hard to find reliable training partners, besides you have a heavier tire at that gym anyways.

Farmers Walk - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFhlXarHAPI Heavy Ropes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMSxQlF0dDI Keep in mind, I was just messing around in these videos, I plan on going heavier with the farmers walk and longer on the heavy ropes. I am just getting a feel for them thus far. ------ Off today Came home from work and my wife and I took the kids to the community pool, then after dinner we visited with family and celebrated my son's birthday. Tomorrow I am doing my first ever refeed after 10 weeks of dieting....HELLO buckets of oatmeal! And it's deadlift day, dreams really do come true.
