On The Road To World's Strongest Man 2015!

Good one today, training alone and couldn't get set up in te rack properly for CG Bench so had to improvise.

24/12/09

CG Floor Press Lockouts- 60/6, 100/6, 120/4/4/4

Seated OH Lockouts- 60/6, 100/6/5/7

Seated DB Ext- 40/10, 50/10/10/10

Finished with 2runs of the tricep circuit without a rest, then did 2types of pushdown for about 3mins non stop for something different.

Can't wait for deadlifts tomorrow, going to be some MEGA pulls!!!

Hope you have a good xmass deadlifting. Xmass hat is expected on the vids!

Pretty solid sion today, happy enough with how deadlifts went.

25/12/09

Deadlifts- 60/6, 100/6, 140/2, 180/2, 220/1, 260/1, 300/2 PB, suit on 300/f/1, 320/f/f/f, 180/20 PB (T&G)

Seated Row- 40/10, 60/10, 80/10, 100/10

Straight Arm Pulldowns- 5sets of 10reps each, increasing weight each set

SLDL with band- 60/8, 100/8/8/8

Video from today:

Nice xmass session

Tried the suit again after log and 18" to see if I can get a better position and I reckon pulling the legs right up gets it seated much beter and puts me in a better starting position.

27/12/09

Log Press- 90/4/2, 110/2, 130/1, 145/f/f Happy enough cause the 130k shot up, missed my clean on the first 145kg and that threw me off; on the positive side though i figured out where I was going wrong for heavy log cleans and tech has been sorted now.

18"- 60/3, 100/3, 140/3/3, 220/2, 260/1, 300/1 300k was easy enough, but back felt terrible, hardly anything there after deads on Friday.

Suited Deads- 60/3, 100/3, 140/2, 180/2, 220/2, 260/1 Straps up from 220kg. Speed was fast, but was in some pain from the fatigue in the back. Lockout on 260kg was a little slow, but not too bad.

Quite a pish session today, not really pleased with anything other than the hang cleans which were quite good.

29/12/09

Jerk from rack- 60/6/3, 100/3, 120/2, 140/1, 155/f/f, 125/1/1(from ground)

Seated DB Press- 35/6/6/6

CG Power Snatch- 60/3, 70/3, 80/2

Hang Clean- 80/5, 90/5, 100/5, 110/3

Finished with face pulls then delt triset.

Bit of a **** one again today. Need to start planning things properly, when deadlift and OH was planned things went amazing, but sort of falling into old habits of singles again! :(

30/12/09

Squat- 60/6, 100/6, 140/4, belt on 180/2, suit bottoms on 220/2, wraps on 260/1 Not good at all after the 3reps at 260kg last week.

Leg Press- 170/10, 220/10, 260/10, 300/10

Leg Extension- 30/20, 45/20, 60/20, 75/20

Smith Squat- 60/10, 100/10, 140/10 Just something different to get some reps in since everything else was so poor.

Finished with 2 sets of 10 on the GHR.

Going to sit and try to plan out training between now and Arnold's then plan other stuff closer to the time.

Hey, video looks like it down at results. You train there often?

Aye mate, that's Results. Only train there when I'm home over the holidays from uni.

Sweet one today, very happy with how things went especially as food intake hasn't been the best over the last few days.

Messed around with baby inch, one handed deadlift a few times and a few presses.

Alright one yesterday, bit hard to get the head into it after 7hrs revising, but not too bad none the less.

05/01/10

Jerk from Rack- 60/6, 100/4, 120/4/4/4/4/4

Ran out of time cause gym was shutting, will do some good hamstring work on Friday.

Sweet one today, pretty pleased with how things went, but need to get grip back upto where it was as using straps has let it go a little bit; will be back to full strength soon though.

Box Squat ~12" box- 60/3, 100/3, 140/3, 160/3/3/3 Liked these, going to keep them in and try to get the speed off the box up. Only used APT knee sleeves and neoprene belt on these.

10/01/10[/u[

8" Log Press- 50/5, 70/3, 100/2, 120/3, 130/1, 140/1 (just missed 2nd rep from floor), 150/fail (log went backwards too much and lost it) !40kg was a PB on this log as I used to not be able to clean it since it has a big groove down the middle.

Farmers- 70/20m, 90/20m, 120/20m, Farmers Keg Medley 140kg farmers/20m, 100kg keg/40m

Yoke- 70/20m, 150/20m, 230/20m, 310/20m, 350/20m, 410/10m PB Another 2m added to the 410kg PB.

Stones- Singles and doubles upto the 160kg stone Tacky kept slipping straight away on the 160kg, think it was too hot and never got it. Had it at the height of platform and then stone and tacky slipped right off the arms.

Nice session, well done on the log.

Solid one today, wasn't really up for it when I left uni at 6, but got the head switched on and really pleased with what I did.

12/10/10

Jerk from Rack- 60/4, 100/4, 120/2, 130/2, 140/2 PB, 150/2 PB, 155/1ish The 150kg double was really easy and then the 155k shot up, but up it too far behind me and lost it, but there was definetly a double at 155kg there.

Axle from Floor- 80/3, 100/3, 110/3, 120/2 Just something to get the heart going a bit.

One Arm DB from Floor- 40/10, 50/10 Again, just something to get the heart rate up.

High Incline BB Press- 60/6, 100/2, 80/6/8 All reps paused on chest.

Seated DB Press- 30/8, 40/6/5

Power Snatch- 60/3, 70/3, 80/2

Just left it at that and didn't do hang clean as bicep tendons we're hurting for some reason and not wanting to chance an injury this close to Arnold's.

What comp are you most looking forward to in competing? At the same time which are you most nervous about? Is it the Arnold's.

I'd say probably Arnold's for both mate haha!

Alright one tonight, suit is really ruining my squat line so can't wait till after qualifier to get it off and get the raw strength up and start getting some big numbers.

13/01/10

Squat- 60/6, 100/4, 140/4, 180/4, 220/3, 260/2/2/1 Suit bottoms on from 180kg, belt and wraps from 220kg.

Had to leave it there as ran out of time, need to get more work in though.
