Good luck Cheers pal, i too am aiming for the strongman north novice comp next year after competing in the severn valley first timers comp, and finishing third, i really caught the bug. Have you started a training journal it's def worth doing especially for the advice from the more experienced lifters on here. Also if you haven't lifted in a comp yet it's definately worth entering the severn valley first timers, it's a great place to start. | ||

I've began wondering wether i need to do axle clean and press, and power cleans in the same week. Am i better off dropping the cleans from the axle or dropping power cleans for a different exercise? | ||

wales Member 1058, 5361 posts SQ 220, BP 140, DL 294654.0 kgs @ 106kgs UnEq | Thurs 15th Axle clean and press 50 x 5 75 x 5 85 x 3 95 x 6 Bench press 60 x 8 85 x 5 95 x 3 107.5 x 8 Db press 50 x r5 l4, r4 l3, r5 l4 Side raises 15 x 4 x 10 1k run in 4.30 I felt good doing axle and bp, but doing db press felt f**ked and did the run 30 secs slower than last time. Couldn't figure out why, I've had the s**ts since so that could be it, bit of a bug. Ive got my eye on the comp in oxford for people that have done two comps at most, like the look of the events so that's my next target. | ||
