On The Road To World's Strongest Man 2015!

Good one today, deads felt easier today than last time I doubled the 275kg. Back was really tight though so need to give it a good stretch.

20/11/09

Deadlifts- 60/6, 100/6, 140/4, 180/2, 215/4/4/4/4, 245/2, 275/2, 215/8 Happy enough with that, set of 8 was prety easy and breathing wasn't as bad as last time.

Tbar Rows- 80/10, 100/8/8

Pulldowns- 60/10, 80/10, 90/10

That was all, Results was really busy tonight and hard to get motivated training by myself.

Very happy with todays session although I need to re-evaluate the Ortmayer as today was getting tough.

Thinking maybe doing next week, then having the scheduled week off then maxing belt only, few weeks of rep stuff then do a max in the Fusion.

Dumbbell Rows- 40/10, 50/10/10

Amazing strength mate

My Journal

Thanks mate, if I can pull 280kg without much problem after all that I'm hoping that I'll have 320kg belt only soon and then when I add the suit maybe 340kg.

Alright session today although not too pleased.

8/12/09

Jerk from rack- 60/6, 100/4, 120/1, 140/1, 160/f/f, 140/1, 120/3/3 Beltless PB of 120kg, then belt on from there. Took a blast of nose tork on the first set and somethings happened to them over the weekend cause they were about 10x stronger than Friday. Totally threw me off, just dumped the first attempt cause I couldn't breathe or see then second attempt head just wasn't in it.

Finally getting to post my training from today as I've been doing uni work for the past 5hrs since I got home from the gym. Really happy with how things went today, squats felt good, although maybe a little harder than they should of been.

9/12/09

Squat- 60/6, 100/6, 140/4, 180/2, 230/5 Belt on from 180kg, wraps for the 230kg set.

Front Squats- 100/4, 140/4, 160/6 PB Really happy with these, think I had another few in me with the 160kg set, but biceps started to cramp a little from holding the bar up, going to aim for 8reps next week.

Karlsen Squat- 100/6, 140/6, 180/6, 260/4, 300/2

Finished with leg extension and calf raises.

Alright one today, wasn't feeling overly great after two nights up till 3am which has been causing me to not be eating properly as been sleeping in.

10/12/09

CG Bench- 60/6, 100/6, 130/2/5/2 Lost line on 3rd 130kg set. Going to go down lighter for a few weeks and do higher reps like 10s cause elbows and wrists are suffering a little from all the heavy direct tricep work.

Floor Press Lockouts- 70/8, 120/8, 150/3, 120/12

Skullcrushers- 30/10, 50/0, 20/15, 30/8 Elbow felt mental sore when the bar touched the head on the 50kg set so just left it and did some higher rep stuff.

Finished with incline cross lateral extensions and rope pressdowns.

Pretty pleased with how things went today, to be honest I wasn't keen on doing the Ortmayer, but I did most of what was planned for the last week of it.

11/12/09

Deadlift- 60/6, 100/6, 140/3, 180/2, 225/4/4/4/4, 255/2, 285/1 (missed 2nd rep), 295/1, 180/16 (t&g) The Ortmayer call for all of that except 285k was for 2 then I was supposed to go to 225 for 8. Happy with hitting 295kg after all that, even though it was a bit of a tough rep. Was going to leave it at that, but felt bad I didn't do any cardio stuff. Want to hit 180k for 20 t&g next time I max.

Machine Row- 80/10, 100/10, 110/10, 120/10

Pulldowns- 80/10, 90/10, 100/8

Finished with some hamstrings.

Aye mate, shall send it now!

Alright session today, was using the bottom of the squat suit as I'll be using it SSM Qual for 260k for reps. Took a bit of time to find the best way to use it, but ended up a good one.

16/12/09

Squats- 60/6, 100/6, 140/4, suit bottoms on 180/3 (half squats cause belt was ontop of suit)/1 (proper depth, belt under suit), 220/1 (half again, belt ontop), 250/1 (belt on top, closer to depth but still mega high)/3 (wraps on and belt under, 3 pretty easy reps. very happy)

Front Squats- 100/4, 140/4, 160/4, 180/3 PB

Karlsen Squats- 100/6, 180/3, 260/3, 300/4 PB

Finished off with a 20reps set of leg extensions.

Good one today, really pleased with how it went, especially yoke and farmers since they were done in the snow!

19/12/09

Log Press- 90/3/3, 110/2, 125/1, 140/1 PB, 120/5 Been a long time coming this; was on a 10" log, but definetly think I can do it on IFSA spec aswell.

Yoke- 250/20m, 330/10m, 370/10m PB, 410/8m PB, 250/10m Hardest thing about this was the pick up, between sets the yoke would get imbedded into the slush, which made the pick up even harder. Yoke is the hardest yoke I've ever used becasue it is so over-engineered and the weight isn't on the pins mainly as on most other yokes.

Frame Carry- 220/20m, 260/20m, 300/10m, 320/10m Happy with this, again pick up is the ahrdest part, but this time it is becasue of the width of the frame dragging up over my legs since it's a bit narrow.

Silver Dollar Deadlift- 60/3, 100/3, 140/3, 180/3, 220/2, 260/1, 300/1, 320/1, 350/f Happy enough with these as it's a bad position for me, plus back was fried at the end of the session.

Alright one today, jerk was a bit iffy though.

21/12/09

Jerk from Rack- 60/6/3, 100/3, 120/1, 140/1, 130/5

Incline Log- 90/6, 90/3 (higher angle), 110/3/2 All done strict.

3" Handled Dumbbell Press- 32/3, 52/3, 72/1, 82/f Happy enough with this, wasn;t close on the 82kg set, biggest problem is to try and stabilise the DB after pressing it as it tries to roll out of your hand with the 3" diameter.

Seated DB Press- 30/8, 40/6/6/7

Powerclean- 60/3, 80/3, 100/3/3, 120/1

Hang Snatch- 60/3/3, 70/3, 75/3

Finsihed with a triset for 10reps each hitting all heads of delts.

Another good one today, pleased with how things are progressing!

23/12/09

Squat- 60/6, 100/6, 140/4, 180/3, 220/2, 260/3, 280/1 Suit bottoms and belt under it on from 180kg, wraps from 260kg. Another thing I'm happy about is hitting these weights with no mirror infront of me like usual.

Front Squat- 100/4, 140/3, 160/2/2/3/3 Couldn't set up properly as had no mirror to get the bar sitting right, easy reps though.

Karlsen Squat- 100/8, 200/6, 240/6 Stopped early as I was using a different machine than normal due to being home in Aberdeen over Xmas. This one put alot of pressure on my neck and the chine dug into the head rest and lower angle so was throwing me off.

Leg Press- 200/6, 240/8, 280/8, 320/8, 360/8

Finished with 4sets of 10reps on leg extensions.
