      Looks like its time to start a workout thread. I have never competed in any weightlifting sports so its all going to be new. Never been to a strongman event, but love watching them on tv. Time to change all this.

      First event in mind will be on June 29-30, which gives me a solid 6 months to get my strength up. Ill be starting a new workout routine that is geared more towards the events.

      As of right now my stats are
      235lbs(need to drop to under 230 otherwise I compete against the big boys)
      5'9"

      Bench is weak, but its not an event. 315lbs x 1

      Deadlift without straps no belt 545 x 1

      squat no belt no knee wraps 495 x 1

      Overhead push press is 225 x 3

      I have a lot of work to do. Need to increase grip strength, have to find some sort of way to do atlas balls, and yoke walk. Also will need to work on my clean.

      Ill try to update after each workout and just make this an ongoing log.
      Enjoy.

      11:00 AM: Presentation of Athletes

      11:05 PM: Farmers Walk
      The athletes competing pairs will each attempt to lift and carry Giant Farmers Walk implements (135kg/~300lb each for Open; 120Kg/265lb for Lightweights) for as long a distance as possible. No set downs or additional pick-up allowed. No grip aids other than chalk allowed. Longest distance wins. The athletes will have 30 seconds time limit to pick up but otherwise no time limit.

      3:30 PM: Super Yoke
      The athletes competing in pairs and in reverse order of overall standing will each attempt to lift and carry a Yoke (~800lb for Open; ~660lb for Lightweights) on their shoulders for ~132 feet/40m (total) up and back. Multiple set down allowed. Furthest or fastest time to complete course wins. The athlete will have 60 seconds time limit to complete course.

Athletes will be allowed to complete a lift if it is commenced (i.e. off the ground) within the time limit.

      Disciplines and rules are subject to refinement and change without notice.

      this is an almost exact same round of events my boy did. the axle is what kicked his a** the most. it has no give or flex like a standard bar so it is straight up dead weight from what he told me. i think he got 2 or 3 reps out of it and that was it. trust me when i say i have never seen anyone in person as strong as he is. the dude is over 300lbs and he makes a bull look little. i have seen him squat 6-7-800lbs to the floor like no ones business. same thing with dead lifts.

      pour it on man and tear that stuff up

      Dang, thats the open weight division. Maybe one day for shits and giggles, but walking around at 70+ more lbs would be a job in itself.

      Day 1 in the books. I've been missing out on compound movements this whole time.

      Cardio warm up

      BB push press
      Warm up
      10x95
      10x135
      10x165
      8x175
      3x195
      Last set my left calf knotted up. Who knee calves would be hit in a push press. Had to stop.

      DB clean and press(alternating each hand, putting the weights back on the floor after each rep. Also did not use my off hand to bring weight up)
      5x60
      5x70
      5x80
      5x90
      5x100
      2x110
      2x120
      100,110,120 all have 2" grips. Felt so much better in my big hands.

      Seated DB press(no back support)
      10x60
      10x70
      These were nuts. The lack of back support hit the core hard.

      Db Triceps extensions
      10x35
      10x40

      Had to pick up the misses from work. I'll pick it up tomorrow. Leg day.
