620.0 kgs @ 94kgs UnEq		Thought I would start a new journal to mark my first full year in Strongman.
Aim for 2010 is to place top 10 in a comp to know I’m heading in the right direction. Plan for this year is to train smarter and get in better shape/ condition I was in 2009. Going to do as many comps as I can to get as much experience as I can then in 2011 I’m going to have a proper crack at qualifying in the U105s.

Training split is going to be pretty much like below. Gym training is going to be where I build the strength and event sessions are going to be where I work on speed and technique.

Monday
Squat
Deadlift
Chins

Thursday
Push Press
Strict Press
CGBP
Board Press
Grip Work

Friday
Core/ Ab Work
Box Jumps
HIIT Cardio
Kettlebell Swings/ Snatches

Sunday
Events Training

Current Personal Bests
Bench Press 125kg
Deadlift 235kg
Squat 180kg
Front Squat 135kg
Push Press 115kg
Strict Press 90kg
Log Press 108.5kg
Farmers Walk 120kg x 18m


Thanks for everyone’s support and encouragement throughout ‘Chris’s Strongman Journey’ and hope that you will all continue to be as critical and supportive through 2010.

620.0 kgs @ 94kgs UnEq		Had a great session tonight which is a good start to 2010 and my new training plan. DL wasnt as quick off the floor as I would have liked but im still getting used to repping at more than 2.

Squats
3x95kg
2x115kg
2x130kg
2x130kg
2x130kg
2x130kg
2x130kg
2x130kg

These were all done with a 3 second pause at the bottom – all reps were super deep and super sexy. This is week 7 of the Russian routine so for the next 2 weeks ill be squatting twice a week until its finished.

Deadlifts
8x100kg
3x140kg
3x160kg
3x180kg
3x190kg
3x180kg
60 Second Rest
3x180kg
60 Second Rest
3x180kg
60 Second Rest
2x180kg

Was aiming for 3-5 reps on 190kg but failed rep 4 at the knee – if im honest I just didn’t commit to it as I could have easily pulled it. All done beltless & wearing oly shoes.

Wide Grip Chins
3x3 @ BW

f**king s**te – these need some serious training. All reps were assisted im afraid to say.

Really happy with the Squats & DL – chins need some serious work but then I knew they would because I never train them.

Chins respond really well to volume mate, volume and frequency. Although if you do do them often then I'd stay away from failure. Perhaps just do some at the end of each workout? Shouldn't impact on your recovery at all. I did them every workout for a long while.

Good luck with all the training, not enough luck to beat me at Unit 20 mind... Wink

Decided to go for 3x3 tonight because i knew i wouldnt be capable of more. Hoping after a few sessions of training them ill be knocking 5+ reps out in no time.

As for the Unit20 comp - we will see what happens on the day. Be great to finally meet you.

Would have liked the DL to be a bit faster off the floor but as ive said this repping is new to me. Loving the new training though.
