my Plan to train a bit every day has not worked so well so far!

At least getting some training in, but like on wednesday after putting together some big orders and lugging around heavy parcels around the warehouse simply didnt have any ammo left for training.

I can only hope my body gets used to this soon

...then again, lifting and carrying 50kg boxes is kind of training too...

Anyway, got some in yesterday:

log strict press
5x50
5x50
3x70
3x82.5
2x85
1x87.5
6x70
6x70
6x70

squat
5x70
1x120
1x150

and then had to get back to work.

Nice little session today at The Showroom with local strongman Chris, makes a big difference to train with someone.

3x40
3x40
2x50

1x70 - better
1x80

almost forgot my mondays wee session with Buzzman visiting!

Squats as a warm up to 125 - knee is a bit funny, not too keen on going heavier with the squats just now

tried barbell push pressing, but its suboptimal for my wrist, went to 3x90 and decided to go to the log

in log just up to 3x95

then some strict logging, cant remember but not heavy. More akin of shoulders like boulders pump styleee.

then quarter dips for triceps and curls for biceps, beach season is here!

[JP]

decided to train tomorrow too, and then friday have the highland games practise, and saturday the competition. Should be ok as I am not moving such heavy weights at the moment and the volume is pretty low.

---

bodyweight: 101kg

[kallefs]

101 kg? You are almost as thin as Baldy!

[Talyn]

101 kg? You are almost as thin as Baldy!

Ripped to the bone!

[buzz]

Good to train with you mofo! Will be back soon for Pizza, shrink wrapping, and curlz!

[JP]

looking forward to it man

Yesterdays training was cancelled due to extra work at the warehouse, then again, did need to move like zillion kg of stuff around, GRAFT!

Today had a go at the highland games events. Competition is tomorrow, its a team comp, and we have a strongman team, plus one strong bodybuilder and one shot putter.

Events are deceptively hard, light weights but a lot of work, like farmers is for 200 metres.

9 events in total, each team member sits out couple events, so should be nailing 7 events tomorrow.

farmers
log drag race
stone lifting (70, 90, 110 to pretty high platform, not strongman stones, but these really small dense ones)
weight for height
sack toss
stone put
hammer throw
barrel roll
caber toss

my favourites were log drag and weight for height, love them.

farmers should be ok, or i should be shot in shame

caber toss is fucking impossible, so technical and difficult. Could toss the wee one, but the medium one didnt even get close.

lets see tomorrow

full report to follow!

[mouche]

Good luck JP! Looking forward to reading the report
