MrSmall said: Kinda crappy workout with my brother today, I am still physically shot from the comp, lower back sore from leaning back on the stupid safe press, and pulled glute from the deadlift a bit. Sore lats, upper back and pec (what, why?) So I did wanky s**t. Like bench! 60x5 70x3 75x2, utter s**te. 80x1 meh some push press and strict press with 50k and 60k, just a bit of work. Feel bollocked however! Better next week  failed reps take a lot more out of you than completed, it seems I get sore lats from overhead pressing mate, especially push press so it may have happened with you on the safe press. I dont know why though. Comps take a lot out of you. I didnt train after mine for a week and half!LOL | |||

| After the way you hammered out 7 reps at the northern qulifier with some of them not even requiring leg drive i wouldnt worry about the session jonny. Very impressive as i can appreciate the problems faced with being taller with longer arms! | |||

| Cheers JC Training Today Front Squats 60kg x 5 90kg x 5 110kg x 5 130kg x 3 140kg x 2 150kg x 1 PB Push Press Bar - Warm up 50kg x 5 70kg x 5 x 2 80kg x 5 Power Cleans 60kg x 5 80kg x 2 90kg x 1 100kg x 1 110kg x f x 2 80kg x 5 Enjoyable session on the front squats.only been doing them a month instead of back squats so PBs should be coming again. Power cleans - were a first for 4 months and enjoyed them, really want to grt up there with the weight. Push Press - Kept it very light as my elbow has been shagged for three weeks which has stopped me pressing completely. The pain is right on the outside tip of the elbow on the tricep side of the bone and its agony just to the touch, never mind pressing. Anyone had this problem as im baffled and doctor isnt even sure!? | |||

| SS healthfoods - Met-Rx protein. Slightly more than £10 a kilo but good stuff and tastes great. As for any other supplements - GET A BLENDER! You can make anything you want, pre or post workout shakes, casein shakes before bed, morning shakes, all with good old fashioned food. Loads of options to make some tasty shakes that do a better job than the s**t these companies pack into tubs and then sell at 1000% profit. | |||

Post Edited: 09.06.2011 @ 17:33 PM by Robbo Hello EveryoneDecided that now is the time to put my training log on here so any advice and help would be very much appreciated as im new to all this strongman lark. Been training for a few years and built up my three main lifts (squat,bench and deadlift) to a standard i deemed fit enough to enable me to compete in my first strongman competition which was the Englands strongest man u105 northern qualifier. Had 5 weeks strongman training prior to the competiotion and placed 12th but was a bit dissapointed not to have placed higher, but all great experience and enjoyed meeting all the guys who competed. Currently got a lower back injury which i picked up 10 weeks ago deadlifting so im giving it a bit of rehab and laying off the deadlifts and trying to work round it.Been really pissing me off and been getting lazy with the training so hopefully this log will get me motivated and get my arse back in the gym and get better. Plans this year are to do another competition and my long term aim is to qualify for engalnds strongest man u105kg 2010. Currently live and train in leeds at Ralls Gym and also in the process of setting up my own strongman training area at home. Got farmers,axle and log and stones are arriving soon. Cheers for reading another training log introduction from another wanabe strongman and hope to hear from you guys so my arse can be kicked back into shape!

| » Back injury- strengthening core etc (Go to post) | 10-04-2009 @ 10:12 | ||
| Ive just started doing them with a loose belt on,and my back does feel a bit better. Doing back squats is a no go with my back, but fronts feel fine so will keep them up! Ive just been to the physio who has got me doing stretching twice a day for my lower back which seems to help me. May be usefull for you JD as your problem sounds very similar to mine | |||
| » Back injury- strengthening core etc (Go to post) | 09-04-2009 @ 22:13 | ||
| is it best to wear a belt to front squat when trying to strengthen your core as im in the same boat as JD | |||

MarkClegg said: Scaffold pole is ever so slightly thinner than axle though .. i felt the differance in the last comp and it cost me a couple of reps but i`ve got girls hands s**t for axle deadlift great for a wank... Im the opposite. big hands which are fine for the axle but not so flattering when it comes to wanking  | |||

BigKen said: I got the uni gym to buy me an Ironmind one for £260 from Pullums! A scaffy pole is fine though, Ive had 280kg on my ironmind one and no bend at all. 280kg sounds good to me! cheers mate | |||
