Lots of Training, Not Lots of Posting About It
I haven't logged any training on here in a couple of weeks. Not because I haven't been training, mostly because after training I have been too wiped out to do more than compile my videos and update my training excel sheet.
A few things that have happened over the past few weeks:
Saturday, April 28
A1. Deadlift for Time
B1. Max OH Axle Press
C1. Pinch Grip Holds
Video:
Tuesday, May 1
A1. Log Clean & Press w/Swiss Bar
B1. DB Bench
C1. Pullups
D1. Blast Strap Ab Fallouts
E1. Farmer Holds
Thursday, May 3
A1. Log Clean & Press w/Swiss Bar
B1. Snatch
C1. SSB Box Squat w/ 2 20#Chains
D1. Complexes (Front Squat, OH Press, GM)
Saturday, May 5
A1. Axle Deadlift
Used Fat Gripz. This session SUCKED. I was highly discouraged and contemplated backing out of the meet on May 19. Jess convinced me to go to Home Depot and get a real axle (with a 2" grip), so we did Monday.
B1. Sled Pull 50' up, 50' down
C1. Atlas Stones
New stone. It defeated me, but I will get it this weekend.

Monday, May 7
A1. Axle Deadlift
That's more like it. Not a great rep count, and some of the lockouts were questionable, but it was my first time doing these. Activated my biceps a bit too much so I need to work on that.
315# is the weight for the meet.
B1. 1-Arm DB Row
C1. Front Squat
Video:
Wednesday, May 9
A1. Log Clean & Press w/Swiss Bar
More work with the new technique. The 175# felt easy, so I went for 200# but failed. I think I can get 190# up.
The meet starts at 140#, so I think I am rrady for this event.
B1. SSB Squat w/ 2 20#Chains
C1. Pullups
D1. Blast Strap Ab Fallouts
E1. Complexes (Front Squat, OH Press, GM)
Video:
Overall, training for the competition is going well, knock on wood. I woke up this morning with some tightness and aching in my right bicep, so I cam going to take it easy till the weekend. Then I'll tackle the 240# stone, do some light medley work (yoke/sandbag/sled), and then take next week easy leading up to the competition on Saturday.
A few things that have happened over the past few weeks:
- Finally found a strongman competition to do
- Molded a few more Atlas stones (135#, 240#)
- Was defeated by the 240# stone
- Learned a new Log Press technique
- Bought supplies for a Chain Yoke and a 2" Axle Bar
- I trained a lot
Anyhow, I'm wondering if I should start making this a weekly digest. I guess we'll see. For now, here's my training, working sets only, with lots of video!

B1. Max OH Axle Press
- 1 x 165#
- 1 x 195#
