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". | |||

I've began wondering wether i need to do axle clean and press, and power cleans in the same week. Am i better off dropping the cleans from the axle or dropping power cleans for a different exercise? | |||

danton said:Looking awesome matey, I'm too just starting out in the strongman game. Started trainging 6 weeks ago in local gym. My goal is to enter uk north novice 2011,I'll be happy with anything that year, a few PB's would be nice, but got a long way to go!!!! Good luck ![]() ![]() Cheers pal, i too am aiming for the strongman north novice comp next year after competing in the severn valley first timers comp, and finishing third, i really caught the bug. Have you started a training journal it's def worth doing especially for the advice from the more experienced lifters on here. Also if you haven't lifted in a comp yet it's definately worth entering the severn valley first timers, it's a great place to start. | |||

JC said:Some good work in here mate IMO if you want a big log, stick to triples, doubles and singles IMO Thanks jc, I'm gonna try this new routine for a while, it's early doors at mo so in few weeks maybe I won't be able to rep out on last set and will be doing triples etc. But thanks for the advice it's allways welcome | |||
