Not bad considering my mindset( or lack thereof) and trying to stay focused on my new foot plant position.Also havent snatched on wednesdays in forever and mondays snatch fest wasnt far behind.Suprisingly I was not as sore as I have been in recent weeks so it was not as difficult as I expected. Once I got into the sauna, I mean the dungeon, I mean the gym :))

24 kg x
20/20
15/15

Farmers walks with 2 16 kg
5 sets of 200 feet..
Havent done these in a long time and wanted to play with the new foot plant position and see how it fared. Not bad at all but it is certainly different than the single arm rack walks. another tool in the box though; if my back says yes, which I think it will.
Stick slide
Stick shoulder extensions
Double mini band scap pulls

I would say, "Great Job, Rif!" Workouts on days like that are the hardest of all. You did SOMETHING and that's what counts most.
I'm impressed. I know I've totally wussed out lately, with some weird illness, I've had no energy and feel whipped at the slightest exertion so you have inspired me to do SOMETHING, instead of nothing.
thanks jim,I agree, its these that really count the most.glad I inspired someone!
Nice dude! Like you always say "These are the ones that count."
Just consider this, if you took the average American and asked him/her to do what you did today they would be in shock. Rock on man!!
Just found your blog from the YouTube videos.
Great videos and also great to see you training on a day like today when your head is isn't in the game - we have all been there but it takes a different kind of person to still train, and put in some good numbers too!
Rif,
Not every day can be one of those Zippidy Doo Daw days. Sometimes we just have to blast through and you seem to do very well at doing that!

thanks for the kind words as well as stopping by. always great to have people commenting here.Do you know Rannoch Donald from edinburgh? He's an RKC and a great guy.
Its amazing to see just how much NOT having your head into it can really kill performance. there was nothing wrong with me other than not being able to shake some personal stuff that was on my mind.
and yes these are the workouts that really count the most.
I was as close to bailing on a workout as I have ever been.
did NOT want to blog that, that's for sure,lol.
this definitely helps keep me honest and on my game.
royce, you are right man. it's nice to know that even on your worst days you are stronger and fitter than 99% of the rest of the population. slackers.
LOL :-)
