 Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22040 posts | Well done  How many guys in your group? I'm guessing there were other classes, because 450kg isn't a light tyre. I do miss strongman a bit. | ||

 no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3367 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Thanks! I think we were 8 in the u90's. There were also Newcomers, Women, u105 and o105, around 40 athletes all told. We were supposed to do the 450kg tyre (whatever the weight actually was, let's call it "heavy") but after the injury they switched us to the baby tyre (200kg). I tested the big tyre and I would have managed a flip or two at least, I think, but it was probably the safer decision. Strongman is fun, especially when the weights are manageable  | ||

I'm lucky that there's a few comps a year that are easy and close enough that I can do for fun. Today at lunch, at the gym: SUMO BELT SQUAT — 3221 5x8x40. No dip belt, so no belt squat. Used a 40kg KB. SINGLE LEG RDL — 2020 5x8/leg x60 BTN SHOULDER PRESS — clean grip, 31X1 6x30, 5x6x35 DB WINDMILL 5x3/side x12. Fat grip loadable DB.

no longer the Swiss Deadlift record holder Member 3517, 3367 posts SQ 182.5, BP 122.5, DL 255560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Friday before lunch: PULL-UPS/RING DIPS — EMOM, 14' alternating 10 pullups (6+4)/5 dips Friday evening: Run 3.5k/21'/132m D+, ave HR 159, max 177, the tasty part being the middle 2.5k. This should have been a longer tempo workout, but didn't find the time so I upped the intensity. Saturday morning: Road bike 50k/2h/570m D+. Enjoyable (ave HR 128, max 160). Sunday evening (shortened session): 4cm DEFICIT DEADLIFT 8x120, 8x160, 4x200 COSSACK SQUAT — 2121 2x12 | ||

Tempo went south after the second set. DB BENCH PULL-OVER — 3311 5x10x18kg Monday evening: some easy rowing/skiing Tuesday morning: KNEELING JUMP 5x5 SUMO FRONT SQUAT — 3221 4x6x70. Felt better, but still not hitting depth COSSACK SQUAT — 3221 4x6/side x12kg DB BENCH PULL-OVER — From a glute bridge position, 3221 5x10x18kg One hour later: Run 8x30/30", 10x20/20", 13x15/15" In the woods, on flat singletracks. The shade was nice, the thorny branches across some sections not so much, and the twists and turns weren't conducive to speed and intensity (HR barely cracked 160). I should probably stick to the road or track for this workout. 6.5k/44' total | ||

Definitely uncomfortable  This morning: UT2/UT1 progressive row (June CTC of 3/2/1 miles done without the rests) 39:24.7 9,654m 2:02.4 21 134 8:54.2 2,000m 2:13.5 21 120 8:08.9 4,000m 2:02.2 22 130 7:59.3 6,000m 1:59.8 22 136 7:53.4 8,000m 1:58.3 22 141 6:28.8 9,654m 1:57.5 22 145 Nice and sweaty | ||

Loaded up 280 and got it off the ground, but felt like trouble, so did a longer run at 240 instead. Speed was meh. | ||
