I sometimes do weighted hangs from axle. I'm still fairly new to axle work - but I'm hoping for a noticeable improvement in grip strength. My grip is OK, nothing special. A strong grip is a valuable asset in strongman. | ||

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22053 posts | Trained at "The Farm" with WILLSAN and jt today. It was a cardio-based session, so I knew I'd be crap! LOADING - 3 100Kg(?) "bags" carried and then put over a yoke 1st run - only managed 2, but wasn't shouldering them. KNACKERED afterwards!! 2nd run - used shouldering technique and got all 3 over (with a small cheat on the last one!) at a plodding pace. DUCK WALK (170) and DRAG (weight unknown) 1st run - completed it 2nd run (heavier drag) - struggled to budge the drag. Didn't get very far. The weight was reduced (twice) during my effort, but didn't make much difference. I had nothing left! I need more sessions like this, as I always struggle with speed/fitness events in comps. | ||

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22053 posts | JC said: Nice squatting and C&P mate Cheers, JC. I wasn't totally focused today, because I was worried about my car being parked where clamping was a possibility! It was an OK session though. I'm experimenting with some new exercises (power snatch, good mornings), because I feel my training has gone a bit stale. | ||
