Sparrow Legs Strongman Training

yeah thats the technique I use I didnt know that was the correct term for it. Sounds a bit better than 'push press with a dip'. I often wonder why more of the top strongmen dont use this technique on the axle. Im alot stronger with these than conventional push press.

Ready for the saturdays "deload" strongman session!

I agree Will, you don't have to press the bar as high!

Joni - yeah right, it 'aint ever gunna happen, at least it isn't for me anyway One way - hard and heavy, JYES!

Heavy? Why not.

LOL, 360 yoke? Or are we on farmers this week and give yoke a rest?

yeah might need to go easy on walking events this week...

remember the promise to include at least one kind of crazy rep out or medley/sled pull to every session AUCH!

OK, farmers it is then

You can take the sled up the estate and I'll drag it back down

Then repeated the above after a few minutes

Incline log press (pretty steep incline)
70kg x 6, 80kg x 6, 90kg x 6, 95kg x 6

We were too knackered to do anything else after all the fitness stuff so incline log press was a nice way to finish the session.

if you can pinch a couple of kegs from the local pup and fill them with sand they wll make a great addition to your medley equipment really gets the lungs blowing

hey i think the 110 farmers were for 40m with a turn?

Good stuff man! You fit bas***d!

Oh yeah they were, cheers.

Neil, you have just revealed phase 2 of my secret operation - 'Make the Bull sweat'

Kegs are ready and waiting in the back garden to kick his arse. We should have started all this speed/fitness stuff earlier

That's not a very hard operation, he does it in his sleep

lol if you can get old belhaiven kegs as you can get hem to weigh 120k that will get joni to pass oot lol.
but ifyou can shoulder the kegs and run with them it really helps with progression on the stones i think that why its help me or i think it has.

but you have to post a vid of the bull in pain with the keg medley

lol. good luck with that log press goal jonny! youre going to need it!
