Thanks boar and thing!

Saturday strongman!

Pete and Joni along for the ride, another great session after a false start.

Axle press
75kg x 2, 90kg x 1, 100kg x x,x on the clean, 100kg x x on the press. Elbow giving me grief from squats. They'll have to go again!Unhappy No go on these today. Will hopefully make up for it with Monday's pressing.

Yoke
As mentioned in Joni's log (and yes Will you did tell us so!) my yoke is actually 75 and not 50 so everything in the past needs 25kg adding to it! So in fact my yoke pb's are 325kg x 10, 297kg x 16m and a pick up and 20 sec hold with 375kg. Anyway - todays's yoke:

80kg x 10m, 160kg x 10m, 240kg x 10m, 320kg x 10m (no drops), 350kg x 5.5m with a couple of drops. Nice to get this weight on my back. Some lofty yoke goals for next year are already being pondered! Vid of the 320:



Farmers holds
70kg, 110kg pick ups for warm up.
150kg x fail pick up! (high pick up tooConfused )
150kg x 30 seconds, 30 seconds

Stones to 51 inches
105kg x 1, 130kg x 1, 140kg x 3, 150kg x 1 no misses.

ace session mate, just ace!

And what made it even better is that we were just ploughing through the weights and only after the stones it dawned that f**k, this was a solid session Grin

I am going to be so sore tomorrow... no, cancel that, i already am so f**king sore from so many places...

Joni, that would have been the perfect moment for that famous Finnish bellow "Contttttttttttinue".

Millsy, why not go high bar on the back squats? Seems a shame to drop them altogether. Olly seemed to think high bar would be better from a strongmans point of view - though I'm not sure why, what you reckon?

Joni - you are right it was a very good session. I can't help being pissed off at failing the axle though. I will be sore too, so don't worry - you won't be on your own!

Rob - The reason I started back squats again was because:

  • My knees were getting very sore from fronties
    My back needed some extra strengthening that I thought low bar squats would provide


So now I can either go back to front squats and hope my knees hold up OK, or go to high bar squats like you say and give them a whirl. Thanks for the input, I'll probably go with high bar and see how I get on.

It just gets sore from low bar squats and affects pressing, stones and some other things. I'll go with high bar for a while I think. Should be OK on the elbows.

Good session man, yoke looked solid! Elbow s**t sounds nasty. Could also add zercher squats (either with a bar or with the yoke on low setting) into the mix, though they might be similar on the knees to the fronties.

Cheers Brian. I think I'll go with high bar squats for a while and rotate them with front squats. Will just have to save low bar squats for when I'm not training events (which won't be too often hopefully Grin ).

Paul - at the Dungeon

Jeff - Cheers mate. Plenty of fun activities to engage all types of person Grin

I just mention it because I get really bad tendonitis in my forearms from back squatting. It sounds pretty similar as it affects my pressing and even rows and chins when its really bad. I just recently got a cambered squat bar and it seems to have solved the problem. I still get a little soreness but certainly not enough to stop me doing anything. Might be worth a try?
