| » Two Overhead Events in One Comp'? (Go to post) | 19-03-2013 @ 20:03 | ||
| I think one overhead is enough, especially in a 5 event comp, IMO it's better to see a more unusual event like a keg toss or carry for distance instead of log deadlift yoke dumbbell stones every time. | |||

JC said: It baffles me a little when a comp is at a gym (so no transportation of equipment or venue costs) why its £40 to compete? I'm sure there are reasons though  It's in a gym!? I though it was in a bigger venue lol their gonna make a killing! | |||

JC said: I dnt wnat to get in to a too light/heavy debate...just find those weights strange given the Giants Live will no doubt be heavy as f**k, thats all Yeah that arguments been done to death, it does seem light for the level of the comp it's qualifying for. Not being cynical or anything but do you think that they've made it light just to attract more people to compete and therefore make more money?  | |||

| Not every comp has to be really heavy | |||

| 17.3.13 Weightlifting today Warmed up alot, took me ages to get my shoulders loosened up. Overhead squats 20xalot Hang snatch 20 5x3 30 3x3 40 3x3 These felt better with abit of weight on, shoulders are still s**t however so progress will be slow and steady. Split jerk 40 2x5 60x3 80x3 100 2x1 120x1 140x1 145x1 (30kg PB for split jerk lol haven't done these heavy for ages! 5kg overhead PB which is nice) Front squat last rep of each set paused for 5 count at the bottom 60x5 80x3 100x3 120x3 140x3 Then did some foam rolling and stretching but one of my abs started cramping which is new so I took that a sign to leave, happy with the session. | |||
