| 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 | |||

Simon_T said: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". Cheers Simon, I will defo look at doing that one cheers!! where's it held at?? and is it a once a year thing?? | |||

| Todays session was good. Bench 80kgx8,80kgx8,100kgx5, was hoping for 8 on last set but just didn't have the strenght!! DB Fly 14kgx8,16kgx8,18kgx8 Strict Overhead Press 40kgx8,50kgx8,55kgx5, It was as if my shoulders had gone to showers after 5th rep, and didn't want to push press it. Delt Raises, 9kgx8,12kgx8,12kgx8, Dip on assisted machine, 19kgx12,12kgx10,bodyweightx5, went for 6 but it was a negative rep ha ha! Standing Cable Tricep Push, 30lb each pegx8, 37.5lb E.Px8,47.5lb E.PX8, First time i've done these, really enjoyed em!! To end session i did Bent Over Raises 12kgx8,14kgx8,16kgx8 superset with hanging knee raises for 3x12 All in all a good session, was very dissapointed on last rep with bench and overhead press, but thats part of the fun i think!!!!! Bring on back tomorrow, can't wait!!  | |||
