STRENGTH CHALLENGE/STRONGMAN EVENT OCTOBER 26TH!!!

my training will continue as planned and will just work this event into it.. there's alot of lower body stuff going down for the events that I tend to do on my lowerbody accessory day that is saturday anyway so no worries there. I will not do any serious bench work the week prior though due to a push pressing event that I would like to take first place in since I've been a bitch when it comes to push pressing. Tomorrow I'm going to shoot for 225 for 10 reps on the push press and try to continue with this trend. After demolitioning every set and rep scheme I've set forth with this weight, I want to push it hard and have a go at 10 reps. I know this isn't a big deal for some but, to me, it will be a big deal. Due to this, there will be no close grip heavy benching tomorrow for tricep accessory, just overhead barbell extensions and pressdowns. Looks like I'll be competing with the heavy weights so there will be no need to worry about cutting, etc.

So youre stillwell over 231 fat shit?

Good luck at the comp! What are the events?

thewickedtruth · « **Reply #1406 on:** October 06, 2008, 09:42:12 PM »

some little stuff..

log press, sled drag, sand bag load, some easier things like medicine ball tosses for distance and bw pull ups..local gym is putting it on and i got more of a rundown on things today as to what is happening. I'm pretty excited. Should be fun to run myself up against other athletes and personal trainers.

took about 30 minutes...workout is a day late and didn't want to tax my posterior chain too much since I plan on pulling heavy saturday AND I'm doing HEAVY upper body manana. Should be good to go. Back is feeling awesome from all of the reverse hyper work.

called it a day..i'm deloading for a week then doing another two week cycle and deloading again. Gonna run this for awhile and see how it goes. I didn't do any accessory work because I'm still a little sore from monday and I've got a big workout coming up on saturday. I'm going to work for 5-10lb pr's every cycle on each go around. I'm going with the following exercises..

Max set of 5 and 2 with the following...

floor press
bench with chains
bench
bench with bands

start over! Simple as that! Strength is slowly coming back!

4 sets of reverse hypers for warmup

reverse band deads with minis (40lbs off the bottom)

135x6x2
315x3x2
500x2x1
585x2x1
added minis
645x2x1
700xmissed both attemps at the hips. Came off the floor REALLY well but missed lockout. Next session after the set of 5 and week deload is going to be rack pulls from just below the knees.

reverse hypers.. again for some reason this machine makes me fart my ass off!

AND I GOT A TIRE! Granted I'm not sure how much it weighs and I can flip it fairly easily..but i'm going to start doing tire flips for time. 1 minute as many as I can for 3 sets with 30 seconds rest in between for GPP until I find a BIG bastard!

Nice! I had two that were fairly light alone but I strapped them together with a chain or crank strap and made a monster tire. Get another of the same if you cant get a huge one.

thewickedtruth · « **Reply #1413 on:** October 12, 2008, 09:05:10 PM »

I'm getting another one wednesday and i haven'tseen it yet but i hope it's huge.. .i noticed a HUGE one over in a drainage ditch by some construction area where they had earth movers. I started to try and drag it out but the entire tube had filled up and hardened with mud. It was easily 6' acorss and damn near 3' thick. I would've loved to have it but I've also got a family member that says theres another earth mover tire in perfect condition that's easily 600lbs that I'm going to get next friday after he drags it up where I can load it into my truck.

looks like a pretty sloppy form for a RC exercise

I thought RC work was supposed to be slow and controlled, amking sure the deltoid doesn't take over. But what do i know..

Overload · « **Reply #1423 on:** October 14, 2008, 06:49:52 AM »

Of course the man in the vid has been doing them for a long time, so he knows what works.

For the average lifter, it is best to start doing them very slow and controlled with a 5-10 pound DB and slowly work up from there, using sound judgement.

The problem i have with RC exercises, is when done incorrectly they can fuck up your RC worse than anything.

I quit doing RC exercises about 3 years ago, and my shoulders feel better than ever. as long as your shoulder girdle is strong from every direction, you shouldn't have any RC problems. if you have weak rear delts, do a lot of one arm DB rows with a hold at the top.

almost all RC issues are from over training. most physical therapists prefer to use bands for these movements.

The H-roll is a great addition to any program when done properly.

i second this! I do alot of band stuff too and prefer it as a warmup and doing them when my shoulders feel a little funky.. bands do much more than h-rolls when it comes to being therapeutic. If your shoulders are all the way around strong and you make sure you stretch them, etc. properly RC problems become a thing of the past if ever.
