660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq		thanks guys!

smallsy, wont be in on saturday...

Current training plan:

wednesday: pressing

thursday: events (conans, something)

friday or sunday: maybe stones?

WILLSAN said:great squats mate! how well do you think those kind of numbers will hold up on the day?


to be honest, i dont think it would leave many guys behind. Such a collection of beasts. if i nail 5 on the day i will be over the moon no matter what the placing! But that event has potential for me to be a bit less s**t than others Happy

I am nowhere near ready for this comp though lol! Pressing especially is all over the place.

I also think you'll be helped by the fact that most wont be suited and booted

for example, Hubble probably has a similar squat to you, but you'll blow him out the water if he squats knee wraps only

looking at the list of guys, I could see squats being a VERY good event for you

660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq		i think joe and hixxy are the only guys from north not suited, maybe similar ratio from other regions, as in minority not using suits?

so thats why i dont think 5 reps will be a big result...

but i wouldnt mind being wrong in this one Grin

660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq		thanks finnish bro!

aye will, its a wildcard, but judging from the strength levels and logs of participants, its going to take way more than 5 reps to place maybe even above midway...

yesterday, everything hurt... aching forearms and elbows killed any drive from overhead session, but ploughed on. Tech went to s**t, but seemed to power the reps through somehow.

Positives: without the aches and pains, MORE IN THERE!

Log
5x70
5x70
3x70
no, not getting any better with warm ups...
1x90
1x100
1x110
1x112
1x115

64kg strength shop dumbell, the love of my life
FAIL!

Strict press
5x70
2x90

power jerk
1x110
3x120

FIN!

Must do better next time Happy

Hope rain stays away in the evening so i could do my favourite event work, the conans wheel!

660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq		120 is the comp day goal guys - i dont have PB goals for comps, i leave that to the platform lifters and dreamers Happy

if i can replicate my roundabout bests of training in a comp, i should place better than expected.

The strength is there for 125 log, but not the tech. So i will start pretty careful with the attempts and go small increments. I will get a MASSIVE rest anyway after my attempts if it is a rising bar log...

yestarday, awesome grafty session. Danny to the rescue, one of the only guys mental enough to do s**tty graft like this.

Front squats to warm up
5x50
5x50
1x100
1x150
1x160

some sandbag and barrel carry

CONANS WHEEL (my least succesful strongman event ever)
few warmup runs with 220
6 runs with 260 - one of them was spot on (for me) and got 2.25 turns feeling good.
tag team style: 6 laps with 220 one after another with danny. Brutal! Kind of like tabata, but suicidal.

Viking press
warm ups
sets of 10 and 12 with some unknown weight

legs and forearms butchered. Reminds me how physically "easy" lifting heavy weights for low reps, or just one heavy event set is compared to grafting.
