Update

A bit of an update about what's been going on recently

Since my minor back injury (as minor as it was it still put me out of most kettlebell training and real leg work), my training has been reduced considerably to mainly seated barbell press, barbell bench pressing, some indoor rowing and grip work (mainly fat handle dumbbells).

I haven't particularly enjoyed being injured as it's put of some of my targets for the rest of the summer. I'm still debating doing a strongman comp in Northumberland on 7th August.

EVENTS

100KG Wooden Log Press for Reps

Hussafel Strone Carry for Max distance

Car Deadlift (Approx 260KG in Hands)

Basque Circle - 260KG for Max revolutions

Medley - 300KG Yoke x 20m + 120KG Farmers x 20m

Loading - 3 Barrells & 3 Stones in any order

So got a few weeks to do some training to get up to speed.

Also, I dug out some discus training footage from 1997 (see video below)

I was 22 yrs old in these clips at 19 1/2 stone, I have great memories from my days as a discus thrower and certainly feel that I have soem unfinished business that may need addressing before I'm to old and decrepid!

Also, since my injury healed somewhat I did some 2 3/8" thick dumbbell work after Elliot Sands pointed me in the direction of David Horne's Grip Forum where people have been talking about what they can do with thick bars, so I had a go, see video below of 67kg thick handle dumbbell clean.



SO, now I'm nearly 100% I'll be back on with some serious training and my kettlebell targets that I had set for early July
