ok, first strongman training session, 4 more to go before the comp.

Trained at the infamous Bolton Dungeon.

Farmers walk
40m x 30
40m x 70
20m x 100
10m x 115
f x 125
20m x 110
30m x 100 (1 drop, 1 turn)

Was not going to do the log, but it was just there calling for me so just did a single with 70. Its a mighty fat log, but i find it easier than a barbell.

Yoke
10m x 130
15m x 210
5m x 232

Stones
Lapped 105kg stone twice with tacky. Need serious work with form to get these badboys on the platform.

Did another random single with the 70kg log. Next sunday will do a full workout with the log.

Awesome session, now just need to hammer some serious improvements in before the competition Grin

Well done today Joni, great grit on the farmers and you'll nail those stones soon too I'm sure.

thanks man, it was a great session for sure for a launch session!

And i am also happy that i found a place which doesn't hurt: my tongue. Everything else is more or less f**ked. hey my ankles are aching! Must be from the yoke flying all over the place, or maybe need to look into my footwear.

Also, beautiful bruising from the stones, even if i only did a little bit of them.

You need to learn to tense your tongue on the yoke walk. It helps with stabilisation.

i'll make sure to push my tongue out next time for extra balance Grin

being so exited about this, i am already planning next sundays training session Grin

Thinking of hitting logs pretty hard, need to nail a single with 80kg first, then as many as i can in 75 second time limit (probably still one, lol!). Then back down to lighter weight and do some rep work.

Then farmers, but just to 100kg, for distance. 40 metres is the goal. Farmers holds with something heavier for time.

Then yoke, because it is s**t, this time get a clean 20 metres with 225 or 235. This as the main priority of the day.

Glad you're feeling like me. I ache in places that I dont know existed!

Looks like a good plan for next week too, pretty well rounded. Although the chances of me not doing stones are pretty slim.

Good to hear you guys enjoyed yourselves, and believe me I'm stiff as a board today.

I like your plan for next week - Great minds think alike. I wanted to do log first, like you say maybe a max and then repswith 80kg. Then yoke, max for 20 metres, followed by light farmers (100kg - 40metres for speed (I'm not going for distance on these)) and got to finish off with the beloved stones!!!

Fronties/18inchers Wed, upper bod Thurs, rest til Sunday to abuse my body once more! Oh what funGrin

Nice to have you back. You know you are not disco deep down.

Although you did forget to log your cardio last night... which considering you used two cross trainers at once was quite impressive.

it f**king was! Thanks for pushing me matey, that increased the workload to at least double today Grin

ok, this is what good sessions are made of. Third good session in a row, so lets ride the wave!

Squats
8x60
5x100
3x140
2x160
1x170
6x150

obviously still miles away from my pre-december strength levels, but it is getting there fast. Thinking of setting a goal of doing a single with 200 before the strongman comp, that would give a nice confidence boost.

rack pulls - bar just on knee level
5x110
5x170
5x210
3x230
5x250 - amazingly hard, almost passed out in the last rep
10x210 - very hard but rewarding

Lats felt two sizes too big at this point so it was logical to do:

machine rows, parallel narrow grip
10x stack
10x stack + 15kg
10x stack + 25kg
20x stack + 31kg - to be honest after 10 reps the ROM started being dodgy, but it was moving so it was all good

some rear delt flyes

and two sets of concentration dumbell CURLS!

Upwards and onwards mofos. Looking forward to sundays strongman session already.
