Thanks Thing, you are right as allways I have peaked myself to OBLIVION, I am f**ked all the time now, so starting next week, all reps will be in the 5-10 Range for next few months then start to drop reps after thatHappy.

Seated Barbell Press:

6 Sets 1 Rep 40/60/80/100/125/145KG.
1 Set 1 Rep 150KG, had this within an inch of lockout but could not lock this bas***d out, that's it now going to start standing push press's next week and learn how to jerk it, will stick at 110KG till I get 8-10 Reps then up the weight, hurt my forearm again on last attemptUnhappy.

Standing Partial Lockouts:

4 Sets 1 Rep 60/80/100/110/125KG all held for 5-10 Seconds, I squat under weight and stand up with it, second time I have done this and it is really hard, balance is s**t on thisEek.

Hang Cleans:

4 Sets 2/2/2/1 Rep 60/80/90/100KG, I am just upright rowing this, I am going to go much lighter and try and study olympic guys technique, because I am really really crapGrin.

Thanks Martin, you have been telling me this for ages, but I never listened to the Master, I am nowGrin.

Standing Thick Bar Push Presses:

4 Sets 12/3/1/1 Reps 25/45/65/85KG
1 Set 10 Reps 105KG.

Stones:

Just shouldered the 80KG Stone, then lifted the 90KG stone right up, and felt a slight Bicep twang again, it is the same place as last time. near the shoulder at the outside of my left bicep, this is happening now every f**king time I do stones even with light weight, I can not understand this at all, because I have stronger Biceps than guys lifting 160KG+ Stones, and I took 3 weeks off from stones and same thing has happened again, it's not a rip but if I carried on it would be, this is puzzling me BIG TIME.
UnhappyEekRoll-Eyes.

Thick Bar Deadlifts From Knees Mixed Grip:

5 Sets 1 Rep 65/105/145/185/215KG all held for 10 Seconds.

Then put the Thick bar up higher grabbed it and walked back with it 235KG held for 10 Seconds, then 255KG held for 5 Seconds then it just went, then Double overhand 145KG held for 30 Seconds, DO is Brutal hard, still getting wee bit of pain in Bicep hold MG, just uncomffy.

Dumbell Upright Rows To ForeHead:

3 Sets 10 Reps 15/20/22.5KG.

That's it chucked it, Next session I will just stick to light 80KG stone for 10 Rep sets and build up, so as this bas***d injury healsRoll-Eyes, and all weights will be in the 6-10 Rep range for a few months, so as not to overtrain.

Bodyweight 94.5KG.

Thing you are too modest, you are an expert on the strongman trainingHappy.

I will only be doing stone pickups and lap them for at least 6 weeks until this bicep heals, it does not rip just picking it up, it only gets injured when I stand up and place it on a barrel, a very strange Injury that only happens when doing that, very weirdRoll-Eyes.

Think I have a cold/flu coming on everthying just felt heavyUnhappy.

Standing Thick Bar Presses:

5 Sets 10/3/1/1/5 & 3/4 Reps 20/40/60/100/110KG.

High Incline Thick Bar Presses:

4 Sets 5/5/5/3 Reps 60/90/110/120KG, man this bar is so thick that my wrist nearly buckled and the weight fell on me on the last set, I just managed to hang on and no moreRoll-Eyes.

Dumbell Bench Press Mimicing Log Hand Placement:

3 Sets 8 Reps 20/45/60KG.

Farmers:

2 Sets 70/110KG 10-12 Metres, felt like a ton on these this week, done 130KG easy last week as well, so chucked it at that.

Thick Bar Cleans:

4 Sets 5 reps 40/60/80/80KG, these are brutal to hold onto even at a light weightRoll-Eyes.

Standing Alternate Dumbell Curls:

Thanks as allways THING, I will post a video in about 6-8 Weeks time when I do the stones again, I will let the bicep heal for a long time before even attempting them again.

Partial Squat Pickups About 6-8 Inches Mimicking Yolk Pickups:

8 Sets 70/120/170/210/250/290/270/420KG all held for 10 Seconds, got a weird forearm Injury when standing with the 420KG STRANGE.

That's it I am chucking these now I have hit my goal of 925LBS, I feel the Injury ratio on this is getting to high for meRoll-Eyes.

Partial Dead;ifts From Middle Of Knees:

6 Sets 70/120/170/210/240/270/300KG, Weird pain in forearm on 270KG, did not even Budge the 300KG, I got 325KG last week as well and still had atleast another 15KG in me, the Forearm Injury just made me not be able to hold the weight at all Even with Starps, Very WEIRDAngry.

So Chucked Training, I am goin to take at least 2 weeks off training and let these Injury's heal now, I am getting stronger, but I am getting Injured at nearlty every f**kING session, and I ain't getting any youngerGrin, also have another FLU so I know I am severly overtrained again.

770.0 kgs @ 142kgs UnEq		bionic steve your a wonder in the fact you can still funtion with all the injuries and the alway having the flu. imagine what you could do when 100% and no injuries so may be some lighter session for a week or two would help the injuries and a s**t load of Multi vits and vit c to get the flu jab sorted out.
still a good session though. 420 on your back is no mean feat

660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq		hey mate, in future, i would stop doing those heavy squat pick ups. Yoke is so different, and you are so strong i doubt you will have any trouble nailing a heavy yoke anyway.

Rather just work the muscles which are needed in yoke, with squats, deads and core work.

Just a thought Happy

HEAL UP!

Thanks everyone for the kind words of encouragement, I have listened to you all, and I am back training now after a full WEEK off training, and most of the Injuries have healed, and I feel FRESH "Not Lemon Fresh" but FRESHGrin.

I am just going to concentrate on speed work with about 90% of 1RM, and just concentrate on moving the weight Fatser and faster then start to increase the reps a bit.

Also I have been training between 3-4 Bodyparts at every session, which I now realise is just OVERKILL, and I was not recovering ever, I was just Mantaining, no in fact Decreasing every workout, so all seesions from now will be no more than 2 Bodyparts per session.

Deadlifts DO With Straps:

5 Sets 1 Rep 70/120/170/210/240KG, these flew up very easy then.

Partial Deadlifts From Middle Of Knees:

2 Sets 1 Rep 270/300KG, again just concentrating on speed, and again these just flew up.

Strict T-Bar Rows:

6 Sets 5 Reps 25/50/75/100/120/140KG + Bar, first time ever doing T-Bar Rows, I actually enjoyed them, still had a lot left as well, but just slowly getting back in, because I know I will be sore tommorrow.

Plate Pickups And Lapped Mimicking Stone Pickups:

6 Sets 1 Rep 25/50/75/100/125/150KG, Bicep seems to have healed, but I will not know until I lift a stone to a barrelRoll-Eyes.

Bodyweight 95KG, yes heaviest I have been in years, I have just eaten like f**k on my week offHappy.

Eating like f**k = win

If you're a PL and over 90, which you are, there's no reason not to eat your way to 100. If you're a strongman, there's no reason not to eat to 105. Bring on the pies.
