log of the young one :)

i thought id start a log here, ive got another one but its easier to put on here + i know a fair few people on here too. some gerneral goals from me are to put more mass on, do more cardio/get fitter for strongman and get stronger esp. my deadlift!!
my plans for this year are to compete in one more strongman comp, jts at the contrainer probably and do a powerlifting comp. then next year do as many strongman comps as possible to gain experiance and do 1 or 2 pl comps.

Your squats looked 100% better the other day with a narrower stance mate.

Not that I can exactly talk with my Coanesq (just not weight) style of squatting.

one strong youngling

cheers thing and matt, going to stay close stance for the time being, felt awkward with briefs on though.

30 mins medium pace on bike
hip flexors stretches
played with 150hg gripper couple sets of 50 (its too light, i need to give it back to goodwin and get some of my own heavier grippers)
sledgehammer leaver stuff.

good stuff mate. When you can hold the HG250 fully closed, one handed for 1 minute is when you are a grip master


good sessions. keep it up! Will have toget my ass down olympian again!

haha i take it you can hold the 250 for a minute then? lol

how was your training at colliseum?

Are those the captains of crush things everone goes on about? lee & I both close the 3.5 at the NEC expo and almost got the 4 (lee was closer).

I really can't see the carryover to be honest! Just makes you good at grippers not grip events

yea they are, but you and lee have mad grip strength and evan though there isnt much carryover they are fun to do and strong hands are strong hands. + i just to them when i do sledgehammer stuff for my wrists because i have weak pathetic wrists lol.

box squats parelell, closer stance then normal...trying it out because im not convinced with the close stance oly squats, sorry matt lol

really tired today, need to get back into a routine with school and training.

Strong squatting mate, good job.

Paul

to my untrained eye they looked good.

cheers guys.

Chris, take the briefs, suits wraps etc off and just focus on belt only squatting hitting good depth consistently for a while. Thats what I'd do anyway.

i dont use wraps and suits often at all, i dont evan have a suit at the moment. i have been concentrating on raw work lately and i have noticed my core has got alot stronger.

Yeah, but briefs are still equipment. I think maybe one of the 'problems' so to speak with your squatting is the same as my bros.

Trained with powerlifters from an early stage and then used boxes, bands, chains, suits, wraps etc too early before the full raw/ belt only squats from just squatting and not overcomplicating things isn't as big as it could be.

Just trying to help mate, you've got a great future in strength sports and the more raw stuff you do now I think the better your equipped lifts, or strongman results will be in the future.
