Bodyweight: 178lbs. I've to be 175 for a strongman comp in 2 weeks. No early weigh ins so I'm going to have to actually lose 3lbs, but that couldn't be easier. Events are in my favor and I feel I'm going to rock.

I'm down to 175lbs. I'm not going to lose any more. Maybe start gaining soon. Not doing that strongman comp :(, was going to register day of but it was unusually popular.

I'm revamping this journal and becoming more active. I'll be able to video lifts soon thanks to Jesus.

Check the original post!

Thanks for popping into the journal mate, just had a read of yours and some of your other personal bests are very impressive actually make that all of them!

Thanks man, and you too.

But, no vids or it didn't happen! I'm nothing more than a keyboard warrior... for now ;)

True true, lol.

I'm planning on putting up vids when I'm reasonably stronger. Am planning on doing a log session and thick dumbell press on christmas day so am thinking of recording that just for the laughs really.

Yeah, dude, do it! I always find myself performing 110% in front of a camera or an audience, i.e. few weeks ago gym owner pulled out his cam and I managed to squeeze out 3 extra reps on the log C&P compared to the prior set, which was max effort, of 3 and a failed 4th rep.

Your training looks like good fun. You seem to have some cool equipment, thick bars and especialy tires! Is it a strongman gym? What are your plans for the future?

BIG ****ING NEWS that I'm swimming in the heavens over. I found out my home scale shows 7lbs too much.  That means I'm actually 167lbs instead of 174. I weighed myself at the gym today, and thought wtf?! I scaled a 45lb plate just to make sure it was right... and it sure was. Went home and weighed myself, 174, so that confirmed my theory. That makes my lifts that much more impressive... WOW, YIPPEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!


Today's training:

36lbs Kettlebell Swings (no rest between sets)
16 each hand
12 each hand
8 each hand

Pull up mix
Set1: 10 pull ups, hang on 1 hand for 10 sec, the other for 10 sec, repeat 3 times without letting go off the bar, then hanging for 1 minute afterwards doing some leg raises.
Set2: Same thing but for 2 rounds instead of 3

Squats:
85kg x 40 <-- Nice.

Good news on the weight front suppose that means tomorrow you can eat to excess for those magic 7lbs.

Lol :)

Nah, it means that I can actually be a superman lightweight(165lbs) at the competition I'm doing in 3 weeks.

Is this for the crossfit competition? What events do you have to do?

Yeah, but it has much more strongman stuff to it that usually. Events include series heavy DB presses (heaviest going up to 110 for my new weight class - so I'll rock it), tire flipping, not-that-heavy squats for reps (like I did today - see above post), and then some pull up burpee combos for time... some other stuff I forgot but you get the idea

Training from this weekend (shorter than usual, legs were fried from the squats on Thursday)

1 Arm 3" DB Press
1x3 @ 20lbs
1x3 @ 70lbs
2x1 @ 120lbs
1x1 @ 125lbs <--PB!
2x1 @ 130lbs <-- PB! (got this on vid: will post it soon)

Strict Pull Ups
Set 1: 12, 10, 8, 6 (5 sec rest between each)
Set 2: 8, 6, 4(as wide as possible), hang on each arm for 1 min

Nice going on the PB DB presses.
 
110lbs DB for your weight class and your doing 130lbs think you'll smash it.

In the crossfit will the DB be as thick as the ones your using?
