You won that struggle Nate solid work, think you can wipe that off the weekness list. You must have rowed pretty hard

A) no yoke. Need to figure out a good substitute.
B) 75/90/105/80/85/85/85
C) 155/180/210/240(whoa…haven’t deadlifted heavy since before baby…this was a hard weight today. One At a time.)
Conditioning-woof. Stayed at 65# since I’ve been nursing a tweaked wrist from a failed clean. Still seemed to be just as effective for conditioning today.
3:45/3:20/2:50
Tried to keep rowing to mid 900s. I’m 5’4″, so rowing isn’t a cake walk…I’m working on making this as strong and efficient as I can!

Load a barbell with chains or bands and kettle bell to get the same effect as a yoke.

I only have bands, no access to chains. I’m not a huge fan of performing it that way. I just feel like the benefits are completely different than what you would be getting from an overhead yoke carry. With the bands, it primarily involves a great deal of balance (so does the yoke) and very little strength benefit. Whereas the yoke builds strength, primarily, and core/balance as a secondary……Just my thoughts.

The primary objective is not for strength benefits it for overhead stability and activation. Having used all three methods in house I personally get more out of a thick pvc pipe loaded with bands and kettlebells. I actually get the least out of the yoke. It’s definitely more beneficial to do something that gets similar stimulus than nothing at all. Do what’s comfortable for you even if it’s just a loaded barbell carry or overhead kettle bell carry ?

A. Well, I carried all my weights outside (-5 today) and was going to dig the yoke out of the snow and the lock to our obstacle course area was frozen solid… maybe I will but it out when we get some warmer weather or I will have to take a blow dryer to it =) B. Strict Overhead Press Set 1: 5 reps @ 60% of 1-RM- 75 Set 2: 3 reps @ 75% 85 Set 3: 1 rep @ 80-85% 100 Set 4: 7 reps @ 65-70% 85 (80s last week) Set 5: 7 reps @ 65-70% 90… Read more »
