always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 210, BP 167.5, DL 260 637.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	The tips from us will be mostly basics. Nothing fancy, just hard work. Hayden has only done 2 sessions himself, so it's not like he's an expert (neither am I), but he's a fast learner and works hard. That's all it takes.

Not to be confused with JC Member 60, 366 posts SQ 140, BP 75, DL 150 365.0 kgs @ 125kgs UnEq	thursday- strict military 5x5- went up to 45k x 3, although would have liked more, i realised last week i got the same amount but push pressing it.just goes to show watchin the felix vid taught us some better technique and that raised significantly on monday, and im happy enough, just want to get all 5 reps now. incline bench (smith weight not incl bar) 5x5- went up to 45k x4. dont likie doing bench, and its a very week muscle for me. used smith as dont have a training partner for that just in case. tho when i have done on noemal, i seem to bench more. but better next time.could feel it on my arms tho at end of this. shrugs- 4x6- up to 45k x 5 grip went on the heavy ones. again showing need to improve this. rest tomorow

Not to be confused with JC Member 60, 366 posts SQ 140, BP 75, DL 150 365.0 kgs @ 125kgs UnEq	2/2 sat strongman day well my first ever strongman training day, and like to thank johnnymills and hayden, for bearing with me and help us. was an awsome day. clean and press (not yet able to do log, but it is really close) playing with the weights as did know what i would be able to do. also first time ever doing cleans. worked up to 65k x1, went up nicely, just cudn get that 70k out. just cudn lock it, but it will be mine soon. yoke- carnt remember my build reps. think yoke on own for 20m, then 160 i think for 20. and then went 200 and back went. dispointed because of back, but least try and milk a masage out of the mrs. found this exerice weird as the weight is moving, and need to stabilize it. thick bar work, just shwed how bad my grip is. so will keep doing some grip training stones- basically thought have a laugh and see if i cud do, got the 105 to move but that was about it haha seated rack press- felt good bit of extra use of the tri's awsome session, hope to get back up soon. and cheers johnny and hayden again

The clean and press's looked very strong, allot more there when u nail the technique. Im pretty sure you will make s**t loads of progress over the next few weeks.
