Changing things up a bit and I'm pretty pumped about it! Starting a new log to chronicle this new journey and I'll get back to the old one when I do a bodybuilding show.

I'm going to do a strongman competition in June. It's a "gold" level event in North American Strongman(NAS). I'll be doing the novice division since it's my first time out.

The events are: max log press, keg overhead press and carry medley, atlas stones, frame carry and a last man standing 18" deadlift.

I know overhead pushing strength is very important in strongman so worked on some standing military's today. Did some warm ups/feel sets and ended up doing 225 for two reps.

Worked some bench press afterwards with some buddys at the gym and ended up getting 385 for a single, which I thought was decent considering I'd already blown by delts and tris out. Probably could have nailed a little more too.

Did some bodyweight dips for sets of 12-15 and then I knocked out two sets of 3 with 2 plates hanging between my legs.

Finished off the day with some cross body hammer curls up to 60lbs for 9, and like 4 sets of concentration curls with 40 and then 30lbs.

Yes I sure am! I'm about to head out to the gym in a few right now. I'm also training for a little meet at the gym in two weeks for bench and dead, so there will some of that for a bit too.

One of the events I have to do is a 450lb frame carry. So today I'm going to load up a trap bar with a couple hundred lbs and do some reps in the parking lot. Going to work on speed and conditioning by pulling a sled too.

Haven't EVER done any training like this so hopefully I don't die...

Tri, this is badass! I love it. If I was bigger, I would definitely try strongman, but at my size, it just ain't gonna happen. And you are looking like a savage in those pics haha!

So I made it to the gym and ended up not doing the sled drags.
I started out with some trap bar deadlifts, because, as my buddy pointed out, if I can't lift the frame I can't carry it.
So I did 135×5, 225×5, 315×3, 405x3 and 455×1.

Then I took the trap bar outside and did reps of 50 feet. I did 3 with 245 and 6 with 335. Felt pretty good but I was gassed. Hence no sled drags.

My lower back just rebroke after looking at those pics.

Funny thing is, with that trap bar I felt it very little in my lower back. Lots of quads.

Went back to the gym last night to help the wife work on her bench press and I picked up the 150lb atlas stone 5 times. First time ever picking up one of those... Man did it suck.
And my FIRST stone in the meet is 240 damn pounds! I got a lot of work to do!

Trained for a charity event in about 2000 . Was a ten man 1hour
truck pull for distance(3.3 miles) with 4 corners per lap.. 20 tons. Funny as fuck when you get somebody saying
well once it's rolling then should be easy. Holy funny shit you know right away they have never done anything like that . Puking and oxygen for the after pull party! Anyway if you want you can clip your rig to a buddys car or pick up and train off of that. Then you can vary intensity more easily to target strength and endurance aspects more easily.I tore a quad just slighty up high when I did not warm up as well as I should have before hard acceleration. Ease in and get the feel. Good luck , T

Did legs today. Warmed up with some ab machine work and hyperextensions.
Did six sets on front squats up to 215 for six. The six was not failure, I left a rep or two in the tank. Following the 531 template and taking it slow.

Did 5 sets of 15 on leg press with 4 plates a side, and 5 sets of lying leg curls with 70lbs for 10 reps each.

Na man! Dips and close grip bench for the win. I do some cables to warm up the elbows though.
