| Trained on "The Farm" with WILLSAN and jt again yesterday. YOKE 240 for 20 metres - felt heavy! 300 for 20 metres - messy, one drop 320 for 20 metres - PB - that`s better! 360 - a few messy steps FARMER`S 70 per hand for 40 metres 100 per hand for 20 metres 120 per hand for 20 metres 140 per hand for 20 metres OVERHEAD MEDLEY - yoke, log trainer, axle, "bag" - all around 100Kg Dropped yoke and got hit in the face. My 1st thought (apart from OUCH) was - are my teeth still there? They were. Split my lip and had a bloody nose. Did the medley twice (minus yoke!). Failed the "bag" both times. Atempted 120 axle (although initially it was mis-loaded at 130!), but couldn't quite clean it. Had nothing left. Also attempted to press the "bag" again, but failed. | |||

WILLSAN said: hows the back wayne? im looking forward to a heavy yoke + farmers medley! I was thinking of axle/oly bar/log trainer/yoke for a press medley? It wasn't a bad strain, and I think I'll be OK on Sunday, as long as I don't go mad with back-dominant stuff! I'll see how I feel. Overhead medley sounds good. | |||

| Overhead work. Medleys - even though I HATE cardio! I think I'll skip the yoke this time. Don't want to put too much pressure on my back. Plus, it was such a bugger to adjust it last time. Looking forward to it. | |||

JC said: Nice block deadlifts mate. Your worst DL area from the floor? No, the lock-out is my weakest part, but I think these are beneficial wherever your weakness lies. | |||

| This morning... (I'm not including all the warm-up lifts, not that I do many!) POWER CLEANS (with small diameter (10Kg) discs on)... 102.5 - 3 reps, 3 reps, 3 reps. DEAD LIFTS standing on blocks (approx 2.5")... 245 - 1 rep, 1 rep. Slightly strained my back on the 2nd single. Nothing major. This meant I had to skip squats. CHINS (under-hand grip)... BW+20 - 3 reps, 3 reps BW - 9 reps. SINGLE-HAND PLATE PINCHING I currently use a pair of 15s (smooth side outwards!) with a chain threaded through for a little extra weight. I did 3 sets each hand - pick it up, hold until it starts to slip, put down. These holds last a few seconds, with my right hand out-performing my left. | |||

| I think that's a good choice of weight for the log. Slightly on the heavy side - just as it should be!! I'd consider myself to be an average presser for an u105 strongman, and I've done 2 full reps with that weight in training. | |||

| Us shorties are the guys who cause headaches for comp officials when it comes to the yoke!! I've just been playing with my Captains of Crush number 1.5 gripper. Should that be included in my journal? I can easily rep with it with my right hand, but my left hand can only just close it. Interestingly it is nearly always my RIGHT hand that gives way first on holds. | |||

| How can I edit the title of a thread? There is a small error in the title of a training journal I've just set up. | |||
