how important is training biceps for strongman? events such as stones see a few strongmen tear biceps


aye but thats a tech thing mostly when people hug the stones up. Its not like those guys have small or weak biceps i think...


most of those guys have biceps stronger than my quads (for now), it's just what the commentators sometimes say when a competitor tears one...especially about powerlifters never training biceps directly.

Bad luck at the moment - cold's clearing up, but went playing football monday night (after being in bed most of the day with man flu)and sprained my ankle...gutted. It's calmed down a fair bit now but still cant bear weight on my heel - so for a week or so I will have to stick to seated/bench work in the gym. I can't flex my ankle so I can't go too heavy on bench either, so I am going to do some OH pressing and plenty of core strength work until my ankle is fit for use. Then I am going to do some one legged stuff to strengthen my ankles up, as they have always been a problem as far as breaks and spprains are concerned. Angry Angry Angry Angry

Yeah I'm not worried, I've got a cold, sore throat and a cough coming on, feels like man flu. It's probably the culprit for me feeling s**tty most of the week. No matter. Still got plenty of work in.

Mainly for all the experienced guys, what are the biggest mistakes you have made in your training which have halted your progress, led to an injury or made you go backwards? Overtrained and worn out, ego lifts gone wrong, lifting without spotters, you know, the kinds of mistakes you would strongly advise less experienced trainees against, and the kinds of things which may be common mistakes people make, cheers.

First started 2 years ago (at 29), i was a 10 stone toothpick Unhappy . Never done any bodybuilding type stuff during that time, and my lifts were 60/35/100 or something, just wanted to get strong and always trained around heavy compound movements. Now I'm a bit over 14 stone, still lean and lifts are 150/105/200. Happy Will eventually get into strongman once my bodyweight is 100kg+, because I love the events in strongman. Will stick to powerlifting, hopefully competing before the end of this year, provided I can go long enough without a spliff to pass a pl drug test... Grin

Wed 17th June - heavy squat and bench

Squat - all beltless

8xbar
6x60kg
5x100kg
3x120kg
3x1 135kg

Routine states half squats but I did full squats with belt and knee wraps instead

150kg - failed WTF? Not long enough rest, so after a brief kicking of my own ass and an extra 2 mins rest...

2x150kg

160kg - failed again, felt like my legs were worn out from standing on the spot for 2 days running at work and deciding to play football for a team again at my age..

2x2 150kg
5x100kg

Bench

8x30kg
6x45kg
6x60kg
5x70kg
4x80kg
3x82.5kg
3x87.5kg
3x90kg

Paused (for 3 seconds ish!) bench

2x5 82.5kg - was supposed to be 2 sets of 6 but I had nothing in the tank by this time
2x2 80kg

Behind head pulldowns

8 10 plates
2x8 11 plates
7 10 plates

Fried. Completely. Had to rush through training as I didn't get to the gym until late, so I probably didn't get enough rest inbetween sets. Had a busy week as well, with less than enough sleep and not enough food either. Never mind, everyone has bad days here and there. 2 days rest now should see me right for next week.

nice work mate! I reckon you will get more by going for PBs less often, its working for me!

Thanks mate, my upper back is improving the most, which hopefully will carry over to all three lifts. I am not sure if I am actually doing low pulley rows, but I do them on a machine with a low pulley and a seat on the floor, like a rowing machine or an arm over arm. Its rowing on a low pulley, so I'm sure it's not far wrong...Roll-Eyes Tongue

Massive pressing! Looked easy as well, picked it up like it was a small child...scary mofo! How much did Derek Poundstone lift the other week? About 216kg?


Not heard that, last i heard in comp it was an Axel off floor and he won the event with a 187.5kg i think.


Ah, I wasn't sure how much it was, I thought it was over 200kg
