JP builds up to Finlands Strongest 105 in 2013

[muchluv]

plan to be there JP! fantastic you're doing so well despite the wrist

[Konstantin]

outside:

76kg metal block press practise

Is that a new:
a) addition to your training?
b) event to strongman?

[JP]

muchluv, come to say hi mate, watch out i might be off my tits from caffeine etc

konstantin, its an event in my next comp, metal block presses starting from 90kg upwards, that will be TOUGH!

[Mellos]

Let me put it this way:
Beast!

Solid squat to deadlift ratio, too.

[Konstantin]

It was an interesting one in WSM last year, seemed to be a lot about hand positioning (balancing the block) and back strength as you end up leaning back to push upwards.

Solid training anyway!

[JP]

just a "wee" session today Junction gym, travelled with OSG crew, big crew present!

Will just do a light session in berlin (with Patrik B!) on tuesday and thats it. Rest is needed for the sundays comp.

If you'd just bulk up to 140 you could be in the open class and not have to worry about silly things like this

[Konstantin]

An enormous shit could be just enough....

[hoffmeister]

Good Luck bro!

[JP]

Competition report in the power and strength section...

Took almost a week off because the wrist got injured, and generally thought it was good for the recovery. But been so busy dont really feel any better

Was awesome to be back in the gym!

A ot of talking, not that much lifting with legends Millsy and JC, who grafted about 10 times more work in the same time period.

giant farmers
46m x 72
23m x 112

cylinder farmers
7 x 46m x 52kg - with short(ish) rests in between. Rather do stuff like this than cross trainer...

THE PLAN:

3 weeks till the move, will increase conditioning, and some hip explosive stuff (need to seen how wrist likes clean high pulls). Would be nice to bag a bit more on the squat and log PBs as i think they are there, but might run out of time in the build up.

[JP]

friend took a vid of the 225 squat:



felt harder than it was! should take an inch more depth i think, tho that will do for now.

[Orkje]

Massive! More depth? Looks alright to me...

[knackers]

Nice solid 500 pounder, depth also looks fine to me.

One problem, you need to put more weight on the bar, it looked too easy
