wales Member 1058, 5361 posts SQ 220, BP 140, DL 294 654.0 kgs @ 106kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 15.08.2011 @ 19:54 PM by Simon_T Right a quick intro :- Name - Simon Thomas Age - 33 Weight - 102kg Strongman experience - 2 months PB's Squat - 190kg BPress - 130kg D.Lift - 240kg P.Press - 115kg P.CLean - 115kg Log Press - 100kg I've started this thread because i'm eager to get into strongman and by posting up my training journal some of the more experienced lads on here will push me in the right direction. I'm starting with Wendlers 5/3/1 adapted for strongman, with some help from 'smallsy' and 'chester' via the training forum. All of my training is carried out in my garage/garden/driveway, i've made some strongman equipment so this is basically what i'm limited to. Right first session Tuesday 29th Squat 60x5 90x5 110x5 130x5 145x8 Front squat 90x6 100x6 100x6 100x6 G.H.R 3x12 first time doing these, hammys were screaming. Chins 3x8 Plank 2x60secs Sled pull (harness no rope) 45kg x 30m 70kg x 30m 70kg x 30m Not a bad session, too hot to do anything else, should have done more on fronties maybe, but put a new polycarb garage roof on last autumn and its like a greenhouse in there during summer, will have to start training outside more.

wales Member 1058, 5361 posts SQ 220, BP 140, DL 294 654.0 kgs @ 106kgs UnEq	Sun 4th July Log Press 60 x 5 67.5 x 5 76 x 10 Dips 10 10 10 Yoke 130 x 40m 230 x 20m 230 x 20m 230 x 40m Sack loading 70, 80 + 90 to 63" then 100 to 59" in 48 seconds, would have been quicker but the 110kg "sack" is much smaller and more awkward than the others and moves a lot. Atlas stones 115kg to 48" 128kg failed (gutted have nailed this a few times) I've been using denso tape to sticky up my arms and hands but the trouble with that is the grease on the tape sticks to the stone and i've now got a atlas stone covered in grease that is now quite slippery, so i need to use something else.
