Awesome. I was just about to ask if you had something this weekend.

Awesome. I was just about to ask if you had something this weekend.

Yep. Paul was going to come and compete with me but his work got in the way. Will be an interesting contest http://www.nastrongman.com/pdf/2014/...0Challenge.pdf I have already been told I am not allowed to drink at the free beer tent this time

On a side note: With competing so much this year it has forced me to stay on top of my training all year. I feel so much better now then a year ago thinking about nations in Oct. I'm bigger, stronger, and feel I have a ton of experience this year.

I am mad though that my powerlifting performance did not qualify me for RUM. The totals posted in March and I need 1510 @ 181. I chose my lifts to hit 1475 and not a lb more. Now I am looking at a pl meet 6 weeks after nations in November if I fail to qualify for the Arnold again. We shale see.

[csday924]

I became state rep for United States Strongman today.

[csday924]

Squats
3 x 3 @ 275

Didn't feel right not lifting so I went and did some light squatting. Haven't been under the bar in a while and it felt good to be back.

Power corps at Jakked strongman contest

Weighted in @ 192 fully dressed with shoes for the under 200

Event 1 Viking press
To sum this event up in one word, Heavy. I won with three reps which was three more then I was able to press in warmups. Everyone from under 200 and up did the same weight.

Max Keg load
This is a staple of Jakked contests so I can hit a real pr in contests. Last year I lost a contest due to this event missing a 330 keg. This year I loaded 310, 330, and 350 for a 40lb contest pr and 20lb all time pr. Tied for 1st

Descending Dl 5 bars
The heights where (I think) 18, 15, 12, 9, 7 and the weight was 515lbs. They miss loaded the first guy and they ended up letting him go again after all the LW had gone. I did not know this so I walked through the event with 26.?? . The misloaded contestant knowing this powered through the event his second time with a time of 22.?? so I took second.

Farmers 60' up hill
255 a hand in 10:01 for the win and locked up the contest with that.

Giant chain drag 60'
I picked and started dragging hard. Toward the end of the drag spotters tried verbally redirecting me from stepping in a crevasse, when I looked back I fell. I did the 60 with the fall in 12 and took 2nd by .4th of a second

Overall I took first and had a good time. There are a few vids which I will get up shortly.

Hello?

Awesome day....


And




Hello?

Still alive.

So, HI! Since that last contest I competed in MN strongest man (6-28)on 12hrs notice and took 5th. I re-injured (5-25?) my back pulling 455 x 13 at that contest, went to two chiro's the week after, pulled 605 on July 4th, ****ed it up worse, and spent the whole month of July resting and lightly training.

Sunday,
worked up to 545 conventional sutied dl

Today

Squats
135 x 5
225 x 2
315 x 1
405 x 1

Sumo

Had no idea what I was going to train today. Had a **** day at work and said **** it, "I'm Squatting". I am planning on doing a meet Oct 11th to get the Rum qualification since they raised the bar and I no longer qualify. I was having walkout issues so 495 was as high as I was willing to go alone.

[Jason2459]

Yay
