| September 26th 2011 In the words of Svend Karlsen..THE WIKING PRESS!!! - strict 85kg x 3 (easy) - with legs (no dip) 110kg, 120kg, 130kg x 3 &rt;these weights had no idea what i was about to do to them! DESTROYED the 130< standing plate press 60kg (three 20's) x 6 plus two drops plate raises 20kg 2 x ?? &rt;i was throwing this in the air easily using just shoulders. I think the kegs will fly, only problem is i have no idea where to (stand well back)< side lateral machine 2 x 8-12 rear delt machine 2 x 8-12 incline bench press 60kg x 20 dumbbell flys 17kg x ?? dumbbell concentrate curl 20kg x 12/12 decline crunches x ?? &rt;need to do heavy ab/core work after this show, had injury to oblique< 5 minutes cross trainer followed by 5 minutes stair master = jelly legs Previous best on that viking press was 100kg x 7 before failing and i used to use it a lot. What the heck am i doing wrong with the damn log i don't know, should be WAY easier. | |||

JFL said: We are talking about people at WSM level a 120kg stone press should be easily accomplished and the whole sport is dangerous what happens when you pass out under a log or fall backwards with a barrel loading competition or even mouse trapped when squatting. Its called strongest man for a reason if we start worrying about health and safety we are going to ruin the sport. Yer granted its nice when the events are do-able for everyone but these sort of issues is what seperates the ridiculously strong to the average strongman. But seriously this is a pointless discussion as nothing will change for the reasons i mentioned above. I fully understand the sport is dangerous, but even pressing a log or a block overhead is far safer than a round atlas stone, hence why they have came down on people heads many times (a 120kg stone is enough to potentially crack someones skull ragardless of how strong they are). It probably is a pointless discussion but this is one thing i feel should change. I don't care about whats hard for me or anybody else as for being tall or short, and some of the points made in this thread are pretty crazy, but i would like to see heavier stones lifted and more strength come into it. It's strongman, not stunt man. | |||

Teddy said: I'd hope without at those weights, but then would that also apply to the apollons LMS in the opens? Is what i am wanting to know. From the event title i would imagine it's without straps. After finding this out i can decide on inters or open but interested in this comp. My brother is interested in the novice too. | |||

| Is the axle deadlift with or without straps? would guess without but a bunch of comps seem to be doing it with straps. | |||

JFL said: Lets be honest you start altering stuff and where does it end. Next you'll be saying that anyone over 6'on an 18" deadlift should have the bar adjusted to knee height, people with small hands dont have to use an axel, and on overhead press everyone over 6' doesn't have to lock out cause they got longer leavers, on the squat we dont have to meet parallel and on Conans wheel we want the bar sat higher. So as you can see this can go on and on and on the events are set so it benefits both tall and short athletes. I know its s**t for loading stones on a higher platform but lets be honest they are not exactly heavy and they could easily be pressed. I just think leave it as it is and then its fair for everyone. Easily pressed if your a strong strict presser, not otherwise. First time i did stones in competition i was almost knocked unconscious by a 100kg stone landing on my head, i was one of the tallest competitors that day / it was the same height platforms at worlds. I lifted the 100kg stone to my shoulder several times and after the contest almost loaded all 4 remaining stones with zero technique. I think the platforms are too tall. Not only is it dangerous, but i find it entirely pointless. To me it makes much more sense to keep the platforms the same height but increase the weight of the stones. Just my opinion. | |||

Post Edited: 23.09.2011 @ 01:41 AM by PaulSavage September 22nd 2011Bunch of overhead, mainly strict. My shoulders are really weak. Only went upto 92kg on the log because it again felt completely off, for some reason my grip and wrists were really feeling it after the log, my hand positioning must be off or something. Yoke upto couple runs with 300kg and then drop'd to 260 for speed. I'm not sure i was quick but was not heavy. Had a little play with the 64k 2.5" bell, couple crappy high pulls with no chalk (left it in the damn lock up) then some reps in gloves (4/3). Arm over arm simulation on seated row upto stack + green & red bands for 5 pulls. Easy enough but didn't want to push. Bunch of pull ups on axle and with towel. Smith power shrugs in gloves upto 200k in plates (bar was thick and hard to grip) Hammer curls with 31kg 2.5in bell then concentration curls with 20kg 2.5in bell. Giant set crunches x 12, 31k 2.5in bell (thumbless grip with curl'd wrist) side bends, extensors for 3 laps. Some clips of yesterday and today.. | |||

Martin1956 said:Just wondered, with talk of heavy events and the sport reaching a new level, how Pudz in his prime would have done if he'd been taking part? Opinions? I think he could have won last year but think this year it would maybe be a bit too heavy, not sure. Awesome performances from everyone, well done guys. | |||

| September 21st 2011 reverse band deadlift with greens 300kg x 1 (destroyed it) rack pulls few inch below knee 225kg x 5 (loads more there) Didn't want to push this close to the show / going oly gym tomorrow. Some proper rest as well as loading up on creatine made for an easy 300kg reverse band, had a couple reps in me - could do with putting a lot of work into my quads/hams/glutes/upper back after this comp, but happy with that. | |||

| Can never say never but can't see z getting back into this now, Shaw is too good to drop enough points. Who knows, maybe Jenkins will pull a sick deadlift and win. | |||

Ben_F said: Farmers hold - approx 18" (JT Farmers) Log diam - IFSA spec (JT log) Dummbell - Stengthshop Circus type (54.5kg) (2 hands to shoulder, then 1 arm press - or snatch from floor 1 handed Sam Chesney style!) I'll ask Shane on Sunday if belt cleans on the axles are allowed. Van - pretty flat, wont be too desperate, unless Shane goes crazy and uses the slope in the car park which is pretty steep (and what I suggested  - would be like the boat arm-over-arm at WSM).Any other Q's? I'm in for sloped arm over arm. Nope, sound. If i can press the log (unlikely so far), might try snatch the bell for coolness, have done 53k baby inch (big loz makes it look sooooo much easier). | |||
