 left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | i agree - beautiful combo. You also do narrow grips from time to time which i think is important. My overhead went to s**t when i only did overhead and left the heavy narrow grips out. My plan after nailing a new PB on bench is to just do overhead + heavy narrows, maybe on boards to keep that overload in pressing. | ||

 Is partial to the odd bender. Member 6, 10239 posts SQ 280, BP 192.5, DL 317.5790.0 kgs @ 102kgs Eq | 255 x 5 should give you a nice round 300 single. | ||

I ♥ Dr. Gillian McKeith Member 17, 742 posts SQ 0, BP 180, DL 0180.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Yeah i try to do some narrow grips once a week if i can, that sounds like a good plan i've read that some strongmen swear by close grips as assistance for a big log press which is obviously what your after! Tony yeah i plugged that 255x5 into some 1RM calculators and they came close to 300. After todays session im not so sure though! | ||

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | In my experience. Close Grips are the single best pressing exercise for all other presses. If you get stronger at them every other press will go up. I love them. | ||

I ♥ Dr. Gillian McKeith Member 17, 742 posts SQ 0, BP 180, DL 0180.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Visited the dungeon today with Joni and Hayden and obviously Millsy! Well everything was so much harder than i was expecting, i can appreciate just how gruelling strongman is now i've tried a few things! Started with the log 70 x 3,3,3 80 x 1 failed 2nd 70 x 3 x a couple more 75 x3 Got better as i went along, some reps were better than others when my technique was better. Farmers Walk 70 x 40 (a couple of drops) 100 x a few meters (cant remember but couple of drops once again!) 110 x a few meters to bring farmers back 120 x another few meters! f**k these were hard, legs went to jelly at times but grip wasnt as much of a problem as i expected. Stones 105 x f,f,f,f,f  i think it was the 3rd i got close to getting up. Again a lot harder than i could of expected and forearms in agony by the end!Axle Holds 80 x a few seconds x 3 or 4 sets Grip did me no favours here, my small hands made this tough! So i wasnt very good at anything really, but i really enjoyed it and i will be back to load that mother f**king stone! | ||

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | hey great work today davo, exellent debut! Strongman is pretty brutal in a sense that it really highlights your weaknesses but then again you do progress quite fast if you just nail these sessions on a regular basis. Good work on the log, that technique looked solid. | ||
