So I went out of town for a week to do a church camp and they had us staying in small cabins, so I took my kettlebell, bands, and blast straps with me, along with my neck harness and this is what I did. I didn't get to train as much as I wanted to, but these seriously kicked my ass.

So all this was done with 16kg kettlebell, 2 monster mini bands, blast straps, towel, and an empty cabin. I had about 45 minutes to get it all done, so it really kicked my ass.

When I got back I took the farmers for a walk and did 3 walks of 360 feet with 280 lbs total

So back to normal training

I basically just pressed a barbell overhead, then brought it down to eye-level and then pressed again, sort of like a board press on bench I guess.

Nek

Log went well, I tried for 260, I got the clean, but couldn't press. My legs were just dead, I am thinking of doing a lot more front squats with the log to strengthen the upper back to press when tired, as well as train the different body position that I have to be in to be explosive when I press the log. Not a bad day of training though, I was pretty beat when I got done. My family is going on vacation in less than two weeks and I think I'm going to have to invest in a heavy ass kettlebell so I don't lose much in the way of strength.

Mountain man training in a cabin. Straps, bands, bells, and a thick neck...who could ask for more?

(Me...how about a bar and a rack, sissy...or at least flannel and a beard)
