To add some variety to my strength training I decided to take a break from CFSB and do a cycle of 5/3/1. All of the weight felt heavy today. I think it has do to with the fact that I've recently added in some longer distance runs during the week. I have to be willing to make the sacrifice as I feel like I need to get those miles in for the ToughMudder.

I was looking forward to having another go with the tire today and it was a killer. Completely smoked afterwards. I got some ideas from Chris Mason's WannaBeBig tire training article and Bucknell University's strength & conditioning coach Jerry Schreck.

Movement examples:
Tire Push
Squatting Power Row
Home Run
