Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 210, BP 167.5, DL 260637.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | I've got a couple of pics on my phone, but don't really know how to put them on here, and don't particularly want to! LOL Wednesday 22nd October Front squat 60kg x 3 100kg x 3 130kg x 1 142.5kg x 1 Felt really heavy. They always do the day after back squats - probably not the best idea to carry on doing these on this day... Snatch off blocks 40kg x 3 60kg x 3 70kg x 3 80kg x 3 Power clean + jerk 60kg x 2 80kg x 2 100kg x 2 Tough! Close grip bench press 60kg x 5 100kg x 3 112.5kg x 8 Quite excited about starting my hybrid strongman / weightlifting training after my hols! | ||

I couldn't choose which one I wanted to do fully, so I'm going to do both! I think it might work well as frequent weightlifting destroys me, so two days a week should be manageable plus two days strongman. | ||

There is only really one way to be sure and that's to try it There can be a balance I think as long as you bring down some of your individual goals...maybe Either way good luck Possibly something to consider is to look at focusing your strongman training into specific movements that you want to focus on... Or just f**king smash everything  Your journal will be the only hybrid one and an attractive one at that... Under 90kg heavyweight world championships becons! | ||

Or just f**king smash everything Your journal will be the only hybrid one and an attractive one at that... Under 90kg heavyweight world championships becons! I've not been able to make my mind up for the last two+ years what I want to do. Now I have made the decision and I feel very happy. I don't think I need to lower my weightlifting goals as I never got anywhere near what I could / should have done - PBS are 95kg / 130kg and I don't think I'd be too far off those numbers, even in my current emancipated state. Strongman training will focus around my weaknesses on the two days I train it. Obviously some things will carry over from one sport to the other e.g. push press on my weightlifting day will transfer over to log press for strongman and other similar examples. (Funny though that it all seems to carry over from weightlifting to strongman - not so sure there is any carry over the other way?) After my holiday I'll start my reverse diet and see what happens with the BW. Apparently there's a weightlifting comp in January which I would like to do. I'll probably still be in the 94s then as I can gain 4-5kg BW and still make 94kg comfortably, which is plenty of weight to gain in a couple of months. | ||

I'm thinking more towards the end of the year for World records, before I go full time UFC. | ||

It's just adding calories back in slowly and progressively (the opposite of how I dieted) to avoid gaining a load of fat quickly. Should help me stay leaner as I look to gain weight. Can't wait for a week of luxury! | ||

Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 210, BP 167.5, DL 260637.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Friday 24th October Front squat 60kg x 3 100kg x 3 130kg x 1 140kg x 3 Power snatch 50kg x 3 60kg x 3 70kg x 3 80kg x 2 Jerk 50 kg x 3, 1 70kg x 2 90kg x 2 110kg x 2 125kg x 2 130kg x 1 135kg x f, f close! Push press 90kg x 3 110kg x 1 115kg x 1 BW 91.8kg Epic cheat week begins... I fully expect to be around 100kg next week. I'll spend a couple of weeks dieting as I have been this week (strict) to get off some of the bloat, then I can start the reverse diet from a better starting point. I am looking forward a long, gradual process of weight (and strength!) gain! | ||
