Brace your feet against something sturdy (a tire, yoke, heavy sandbag, etc…), and reach with your arms as far as possible and pull on the rope while driving with your legs – try to use your legs as much as possible as if you were trying to push something away with your legs. By the time you’re done, if you’ve gone heavy enough, your forearms and core will feel it.

One set of:
200 Meter Sled Push

It doesn’t have to be low bar, only if it says low bar sled push!

That sounds dangerous Tom!! Do you have a heavy med ball or even just carrying a heavy KB would be good!

I just love this mobility & activation. Feel great after this exercises.
A – I’m very careful with squats last months. Still have some groin pain. I did 4 sets at 75 kg and last one 80 kg. Small pain but very happy.
B1 – 50
B2 – 60
C – Skipped because of squats. I must be careful.
D – 10:26 This one was funny and I love it. I break PU from second and third round and made doubles and singles.

Yes, those minute breaks would have been nice. We are doing well. No damage to the house but I do have some trees to clean up at the back of our property. They are out of the way so I can get to them when I have time.

A. 65/68/70/73/73kg for a while I was discouraged that my weights were not going up, but I was thinking about it today and although I used to do a double at 75kg, I used to belt up and use knee sleeves. I am now able to do 2@73 kg no belt or knee sleeves and a much better position, so I guess that’s progress! B. 50/50/50/57/57/57 C. Done with 16kg D. 9:08 but only used 50lbs dball – went lighter because I want to train 4 days consecutive this week. Friday we leave for a comp and I still have… Read more »
