WEEK 1 DAY 2 LIGHT

Deadlift 90x9/110x8/130x8--- felt i could've pushed for more

Chin up on assisted 19x7/12x3/19x4----Just don't know what happened here! really struggled, might look at doing lat pull downs on next light session. Utter s**t!

Goodmorning 60x8/60x8/60x8---didn't want to push back too much on this one

Power Curl EZ bar 20x8/30x8/30x8

Hammer Curl 16x8/18x6+2/18x6+2----The +2 was cheat reps

Superset Standing Cable Crunch 31.5x12/35x12/42x12
Cable Shrug 45.5x12--Went to dumbells after this one
DB shrug 46x8/50x8

Another decent session, did go in feeling strong, but not as i expected, still very early days though!

654.0 kgs @ 106kgs UnEq		Alright pal, if your looking at doing your first strongman comp next year I'd def look at competing in the Severn valley first timers comp. It's a bit lighter than novice, well run and a well organised comp. This will then give you a good intro into strongman. I did it this year and have caught the strongman " bug".

745.0 kgs @ 130kgs Eq		Light week day 3

A very funny one here, i was warming up doing deep and wide stance squats and ripped my shorts!!! had to go put works trousers on ha ha ha. Must say though on sets i did, i took a closer stance to make sure i didn't rip my trousers, and i felt a lot stronger and my squat technique was the best i've done so far!!!

Back Squat 80x8/90x8/11x8

DB Step Up 16kg did 3 sets of 12 reps each leg, (good cardio substitute i find!)

Leg Extension 45x10/65x10/85x9/105x7

Smith Machine Calf Raises ( standing on end of bench for more R.O.M) 60x12/60x12/80x12 Calfs on fire!!!!!

Barbell Grip 40=Right 42secs,Left 35sec/70=R17,L14/80=R28,L2.5

Leg Curl 75x10/85x10/95x8
Superset Side Bend 32x10/32x12/32x12

Good Session in all, and back to wearing my 3 quaters for training in ha ha

745.0 kgs @ 130kgs Eq		Had mock style 3xevent session today, got beat 2-1 by moose ;-( I'll get him next week!!

Squat for single, 110,140,160,170 PB! this was the only one i won

Rope pull 68kg 23 pulls in 75 secs

Crucifix hold 5kg for 44secs

Then just to finish legs for the week we did 3 sets of 10 barbell lunges each leg.

Now i know these weights are pitifull for most of the guys on here, but gotta start some where, and got to improvise as i have a lack of equipment for event trainig.

Thats all the training for this week!! Its back to heavy lifting, and i can't wait!!

745.0 kgs @ 130kgs Eq		Start of heavy WEEK 2 DAY 1

Bench 80x3/90x3/100x3/110x3/115=FAIL/110x3

Fly 18x6/20x5/22x3

Clean then Strict Press for reps 30x4/40x3/50x3/60x3/70x3/80=FAIL/75x1+2

Tricep Dip (assisted)19x6/12x8 (unnassited)6/8/6
Superset
DB Side Bend 32x12/32x12/32x12

Not happy with benchUnhappy got the 110 easy, but the 115 just wouldn't budge, think i'm going to do DB bench on light weeks to strengthen staibalisers

The +2 on shouders was a little push press, and my first ever mini jerk!!!

Apart from that had a decent workout, going to aim for a full set of unnassisted dips on machine, also another PB on shoulders.

Any tips on benching would be gratefully appreciated as 2 weeks ago i failed after 110kg.

Cheers for readingHappy

Lat Pulldown 68x6/75x5/68x6

Power Curl straight bar 25x5/30x5/40x5/40x5/40x3+2

Not too happy on deadlift, my grip was shocking, couldn't get bar off ground!!!! was tempted to go get straps

Enjoyed session, had a bit of a rush on though after deadlifts cause was a little short for time, but still moving forward so thats a plus point
