Strongman Training

Strongman Training

No kettlebells today!

Decided on getting my Strongman Training on the go, so I cleaned out all the crap that has gathered in my cellar from all my kitchen renovating and got my 2.5" fat bar out to give it a whirl.

I intend to do a Strongman comp this year (so if anyone knows of any good ones here in the UK please let me know), this is the partial reason I did some strongman today, the other being inspired by WSM 2008.

Although Pudzi won I so wanted Derek Poundstone to get that last stone up and beat him. Good luck for Poundstone in 2009 and what an inspiration to hold a full time job as a policeman (amazing) and to be s top Strongman.

Ok so I got the fat bar out and warmed up with some easy full cleans.

Work sets of cleans as follows (everything fat bar):

3 x 5 @ 65kg
2 x 5 @ 85kg
10 x 1@ 107.5kg (These ended up being continental cos my grip was smoked)

Zercher squat

3x5@ 107.5kg

Bent Row with Shrugs

3x5 @ 85kg

85 kg sandbag Clean and press

10 reps as fast as possible.

This was a nice workout to get back into the swing of things and a kick in the butt to get my training room sorted out.

Kettlebells next.....................
