| » Warming Tacky Advice (Go to post) | 11-09-2009 @ 19:12 | ||
| Buy some of those hand warmers you get from outdoors shops. Put your pot of tacky in some kind of container (e.g. tupperware box) and chuck them in with it a good hour or more before the event. I did this at the U105 Northern qualifiers and my tacky was liquid, so depending on your tacky you may want to experiment before hand, or at least keep an eye on it. James | |||

Clean and press 60kg 3*5 - all from floor/strict press 80kg*3 - 1 clean and push presses from now on 90kg*3 100kg*3 All felt good. Triceps getting sore so left it there.

| Tuesday 8th Sept 09 - training in the rain Couldn't resist training at Northwich, even though the weather was far from clement... Farmers' walk 70kg per hand*15m 70kg*15m 100kg*15m 100kg*15m Axle deadlift (no platform, just below knee) 220kg*3 220kg*3 - straps broke 220kg*1 260kg*1 220kg*5 Pretty easy but grip was an issue in the rain, especially when the straps went. Axle squat 40kg*5 80kg*5 120kg*5 140kg*5 Stones - abandoned Modest weights but kept up a good tempo - all done in about 40 minutes. Very enjoyable indeed. Can't wait to get doing events again. | |||

| Solid looking training Josh with some admirable attention to detail with your diet. Wish I could be that organised! Looking at your targets, I would say (from my limited experience): For strongman, deadlift and overhead are the most important gym movements in my opinion. Front squats are also liked by many (myself included), especially once you're training events. Looking at the UK strongman north novice just remember that the 220kg squat in the final is a hell of a lot for a 'novice' comp. Squat events seem to be 'fashionable' this year. More often, strongmen need to focus on their deadlift. Keep it up mate. | |||
