Adding some Sled Drags...

In approximately 6 weeks I will be stepping on this platform for the World Natural Powerlifting Federation (WNPF).  It will be my 3rd powerlifting meet in 11 months.  I don't often get the opportunity to squat out of a monolift, but I will start spending time training at Victory Baptist Church in Rochester, NY.  This is the venue for the meet on August 2nd, and they have a powerlifting team.  I'm going to start training there this upcoming week.

Tonight's session was what I consider a maintenance day.  I very rarely train bi's/tri's in isolation.  Tonight I worked those beach muscles, along with some barbell shrugs and sled pulls.

Barbell Shrugs:  45/15/15, 135/10, 185/10, 235/10/10/10

Red Band Tricep Pushdowns:  20/20/20/20/20
EZ Bar Curls:  bar plus 50lbs.10,, bar plus 80lbs.10/10, bar plus 100lbs. 5/5/5

Red Band 1 Arm Overhead Tricep Extensions:  10/10/10 each arm
Green Band Upright Rows:  15/15/15

Sled Pulls:  200lbs./5 laps around the backyard in 13 minutes and 20 seconds-totally gassed out on these

I am going to start incorporating some sled pulls in my regular training sessions.  I will add them to the end of my training session.  I don't feel comfortable having them come at the beginning of the session.  Especially on a a leg day.  I read almost daily on the various social media sights that people warm-up for their training sessions with bodyweight sled pulls, or some variation.  I don't think I could warm-up with 273lbs. right now for five or ten minutes.  It is certainly an acquired taste, but I would rather taste it at the end of the workout rather than before things get really started.
