Becoming a HW Strongman

[thom2355]

I think I like what you're doing with the CBL changes. I've been thinking about switching more towards a density bulk to put on another 10 pounds.
Strength is stalling with my weight loss, and I feel like I cleaned myself up fairly well and I need to make my lifts the priority.

So basically you'll add in an earlier meal, and a preworkout meal consisiting of carbs?

The carbs is because of training between 6-7 at night. It goes by the guidelines of the book. Also, it will fuel higher volume training. Not recommended for least say gain, but recommended for maximum awesome.

[thom2355]

Sounds like a plan. Did you listen to him on the lift run bang podcast?

Nope. Missed it. I shall find it.

[thom2355]

Thanks! Thought of it all by myself.

Can I be the wizard of clever?

You can be the wizard of jaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccct!

Only if you start making your videos again... And make an NC_Tarheel parody video first.

The one page I'm trying to steal from CBL is putting a good chunk of my carbs the night before my workout.

It helps.
The one thing I miss about overeating was I felt awesome eating huge around noon or so then training at 4.
Walk into the gym with a solid bloat and a good squat belly. haha

[thom2355]

DE Squat

Squat
@ ~60%

275 x 2 (9 sets)

RDL

315 x 10 (2 sets)

BB Lunges

135 x 6 ea (2 sets)


First time doing speed squats in a while. Depth was all over the place, but I am good with it for the time being. I kept the volume rather low as my training was moved around by a day due to my travels last weekend and it was the day before events. Still felt as though I got work in.




Events

Yoke

500 x 80' (4 runs)

*With squatting the day before and heavy yoke the two prior weeks, I just decided to get some volume in here.

10" DB Press

140 x 2 (3 sets)
140 x 6 in 60 sec

Frame Carry

350 x 80'
450 x 80'
550 x 80'

*Cut it there as I am pulling heavy two days after this.

Stones
*All to 54"

240 x 5
240 x 5
240 x 7

*Again with the volume.


Not a bad day considering I did not have any real high expectations for it. One guy in our crew is competing at Nationals on 11/3, so this was his last session before then. We had a guy from Iowa join us today as he was in town for a wedding and is also competing at Nats, so he needed a spot to train. Very strong kid and should do alright this Saturday. I spent most of my time loading weights for the two that are competing next weekend, but still feel as though I got in some good work all things considered.

What is there to parody on Tarheel? It is very hard to make a deadlift pull very, very long.

Carbs at night is the best thing ever. No crash during the day or anything. I really like it and have since the days of the Cut Diet.

It helps.

I would rather train without the constant feeling of sh*tting myself.

[mmorton]

I second that large peni on Thad.

[FrmrHoss]

Oh yeah, I remember the good ole cut diet . The 3 days of the diet were so boring that it was the only way to make you think that eating asparagus, sweet potato, and oats was like a dessert from god himself.

I've trained using NO Xplode for the majority of my time in the gym. So I'm so familiar with that feeling, and walking upstairs to **** in the middle of squat warmups, that it doesn't phase me anymore.

There's not a single workout where I don't have to poop 15 or so minutes into it. Lucky for me, I have a house in my gym. Unlucky for Greg and Rocky, I stink up the basement.

Same here bro.
So nice being able to walk upstairs and murder my own bathroom, then continue squatting.

^^^Those home gyms aren't hardcore^^^



I just sh*t on the floor and keep going

[bmontgomery87]

We tried to be hardcore at my gym. Everyone would just open my basement door anytime they had to piss because they're too lazy to go upstairs.
Thanks to fall leaves, that drain has gotten stopped up and it now smells like urine everytime you step out the basement door.

Put drain inside then the leaves won't clog up a perfectly good urinal. Plus no winter shrinkage

Oddly enough some dude at my gym pooped himself today and kept working out. (totally serious)

Was it at least on a PR deadlift or squat???

Are we talking small skid mark or full blown log here???

We are talking squirted out the leg of his shorts and smushy. He is definitely at least a slow adult He was benching. I will never use that bench again....

[bmontgomery87]

lofl at dude pooping his pants

[thom2355]

Glad this strongman training log is bowel and/or bladder movement friendly.

PRed again at Fe. Dan some some of the most potent stinky farts ever today which oddly started to smell like food after his training partner Greg compared it to McDonalds....

I feel like it had a hint of baby poop in it. A baby that ate McDonalds breakfast and pooped right in your nostril.

I had an egg mcmuffin yesterday and it gave me some pretty nasty farts. I got yelled at by the lady and she said "it smells like sulfur".

ha ha ha ha

You can't imagine how hard it is to stack this much sexy in 78" of body

[Black_Spit]

In 4 squats on stilts.

When I wrote that, I pictured him in stilts storming up to the bar like he did in the Arian video.

He could stuff a pillow into his shirt and squat down 3 inches in the black_spit parody.

There are just so many options you just don't know where to start

[thom2355]

ME Deadlift

Deadlift

445 x 1
475 x 1
500 x 1
525 x 1

*Not happy again. I went into retard mode and subconsciously made the decision to change my approach to pulling on the 525 from every other set I had....f*cking stupid. I kicked the bar forward and had to fight like hell to recover. Ended up with a 10 lb PR, but the 525 should have been faster and easier.

GHR

30 total reps....took like 9-10 sets. Just hit a few reps between holding boards for the two guys I was training with.

CSR

135 x 20 (2 sets)
135 x 13

Band Facepulls

Average Band x 15

GHR Abs

3 sets of 15


Another session in the Midwest Strength Training Mecca known as Fe. Not a bad day, but there is room for improvement. I guess this is kinda like the Lions beating the Seahawks on Sunday....not perfect, but got the win.
