Chewy's Strength Log

[Orkje]

Great news! Seems like the ideal environment to improve your lifts!

[Mellos]

Wow, sounds great!
Good job AND good training crew.

[Adena]

Hey, nice work! I'm happy for you.

But you need to quit this "cutting for the girls" nonsense and get back to bulking up. Pussy.

Already been tanning extra tins of 18p kidney beans and protein shakes to accomodate for higher physical activity during the day.

On a serious note I'm already getting into a proper routine with my day now that I'll be working full time. Will be easy eating consistently now!

[Talyn]

I see death shakes and high squats in your future.

Congrats on the new job

Just looking at this video I know I need to bulk up.

Couldn't agree more, looking skinny as me there

My joints weren't particularly happy with me right enough. Tried gunz after it but elbow felt dodgy...

[JP]

good speed on the pulls man!

Cheers

Some curls with a steel log today for the gunz

I tried hiding up the back of the warehouse when I was doing them but I was caught in the act.


Friday from now on will be strongman events day

Fri 1st June 2012
Bodyweight = 83.8kg

Log clean & push press
1x2x60kg
1x1x70kg
1x2x60kg
1x4x60kg
1x10x47.5kg

Then with a smaller diameter log
1x1x62.5kg

Yoke & Farmers walk Medley
120kg yoke, 55kg farmers (each hand), 20m distance
Run 1 - 26.47s
Run 2 - 22.38s

160kg yoke, 75kg farmers (each hand), 20m distance
Run 1 - 31.43s

Stones
To about 4ft (122cm) - guessing, didn't measure
2x1x80kg
1x1x100kg
1x1x120kg
1x3x100kg

First time doing log, yoke and stones (with the exception of when I cleaned a 70kgish log at OSG in Manchester and failed to press it). Log press was told I need to lean back more and not let my elbows drop. Made some reps very hard. But 70kg ain't too bad for me considering shitty overhead strength. Yoke was awkward as fuck, need to remember to get the balance + smaller steps at start, farmers was okay. Stones don't think they were too shabby for first attempt, 120kg. I have a fairly solid pendlay row, deadlift and front squat, and long arms and big hands. Stones could be one of my better events.

You got it all wrong there, it's log "cleans" and very important strongman training
