doing some work on my deads now. I have to break from the smolov squat as i run a POPAT next week and need my legs!
Used bands for the first time on deficit deads, worked up to 405 i weight with an unknown band tension. I believe around 80-100lbs at the top. just doing speed pulls for triples. can definintely feel a difference, will be putting these in regular rotation and getting a weight guage to get an accurate reading on tension.
than did some zercher squats of a 9'' block from the floor. those f---ing suck. only went to 255 as i was getting fatigued and didnt want to risk injury. Also will be hitting these more regularily as the carry over to strongman is huge.
The PAT was f---ing terrible, passed by the skin of my ***. The running wasn't the issue as much as all the transitions, stairs/fence/etc. thankfully e push-pull section was easy and made up time there.
Whether I make it in with the cops or not, at least that's over and I will start prepping for the strongman season, getting the strength back from all this bulls--- cardio training the last few months
need to get my deadlift and press up... today did 6 sets x 6rep @ 225 for incline bench followed by 6x6 425 deads. tomorrow is squat and row. Will alternate these about 6 days week. following close to the smolov jr program. gonna be a shitty 3 weeks but am happy for the "good" kind of pain to look forward to

today was 6 x 6 squat at 340lbs....wouldn't have been bad but the glutes/hams were feeling yesterday still. Powered through, although a bit of a slower pace than i was supposed to.
Wrapped up with seated rows, wide grip, 6 x 6 @230lbs on the cable machine.
Than went to kickboxing tonight, f--- me.
back to press and deads tomorrow, 235 7x5 incline and 7 x 5 455 deads. thursday will be a day of eating and not moving, maybe a sick day from work

who needs hips anyway...and i am married now, so dont need the groin anymore either
Can't post in the PR thread cause I missed it.... But I had 405 for a front squat today. Felt good on the shoulders and went down ok, thought about going up early but decided to go to parallel, coming out of the hole I didn't have it and instead of breaking form I just bailed
I will get that f---er this month
First strongman of the season appears to be May 22 so far....will be a good one so prep starts tomorrow
Events for May strongman
Last man standing log press; 250lb start, 15 lb increases
Carry medley: 650lb frame 60ft, 330lb farmers handle 60 ft
Deadlift; 620 for reps
Yoke walk; 800 lbs for 60 ft
Stone loading: 275, 300, 330, 370, 370
Not going to be easy, but have 12 weeks to prep so should be ok. Log and stones will be the hardest

Hell yeah man!!! The stones scare me, hands down my weakest event.
Decided to go with
ICF 5x5
over
PHAT
for this upcoming mass gain. Been lifting at volume 4-5 times a week for months now. Time to switch.
Wanna focus on compound movements but still incorporating hypertrophy rep-set schemes for accessory work. ICF 5x5 gives me exactly that.
Plan on getting immensely stronger but still gain quality mass. Quality over quantity will be the focus of this venture.

Not going to be able to do this one. Qualifier for a pro card and they are only taking 10 guys. Not a problem as i am going to focus on amateur shows anyhow. Get points so i can make provincials and give a shot at nationals.
April 17 in chilliwack bc will be first.
20k semi harness pull
Circus db press, 100lb start adds 20 lb to last man
1900 lb car flip/ 900 lb tire flip medley
Keg load : 220/250/270/300 over 50" bar
Deadlift last man standing 400lb start, 50 lb added per rep
I was just Squatting 265x5 and when I went to rerack, I somehow managed to undershoot the holster and the 265lbs came down on me. I turned it into a shitty squat to try to minimize injury.
I don't think Im injured but Ill find out when I wake up.
The 265x5 was nice tho!
Decided I'm going to focus on opening my very own personal training gym out of my soon-to-be refurbished and upgraded garage gym. Will be creating a site, Facebook, twitter,etc. for this business venture. f--- having a supervisor and parent gym.
Gonna make my own path.
