| ive been summing up my first year in strongman last year and ive been pretty pleased on the progress i made, i started out 2013 weighing 79kg, and started a basic compound/reg park style routine, and was getting some good results, i upped my calorie intake significantly and with alot of help from 6 pints of full fat milk per day, i made it to 90kg by late march, i joined a private gym and found strongman, i entered my first competition later that year and placed 4th in u105s and another comp placed 6th but was some issues with the scoring and was told i should have placed higher, i have learnt alot about my training and nutrition and am currently hanging around the 98kg mark, my next comp is in march and ive done some careful thinking about how to progress further, at the minute im working on verkhoshanskys peaking routine for my strict press and deadlift to get me going in the right direction as well as adding some more mass with a few bodybuilding type movements whilst staying mobile 14/01/2014 strict press - 32.5 x10, 38.5 x8, 45 x5, 52.5 x4, 56 x4, 60 x4, 60 x4, 60 x4, 56 x5, 50 x8 seated rack press - 50 x3, 70 x3, 90 x3 dips - bw x8, bw x8, bw x8 close grip bench - 60 x 6, 70 x6, 80 x 6 laying swiss bar tricep ext all handles - 15 x6, 20 x6, 22.5 x6 seated dumbell tricep ext - 20 x6, 20 x6, 20 x6 reverse one arm cable tricep ext - 15 x8, 15 x8, 15 x8 | |||
