Thursday night strongman events.

Beastly.

[bigtallox]

Beastly.

Thanks man.

I did the longest log clean I've ever done, horrible horrible clean, but followed by a decent press. 600 pound yoke now feels light, I haven't tried the 750 yet and probably won't before the competition next month. 510 frame deads for reps.

Watching that first one I thought..."that guy behind you isnt a spotter, he's a sacrifice to the gravity gods if you lose it."

Nice lifts man, always fun to watch.

Yeah, I'm probably a little tall for him to spot correctly. But he'd push me out of the way if the log starts coming down ( and at that point if it happen, I guess I pray! LOL. )

Nice lifts man, always fun to watch.

Thanks man, I appreciate that. Honestly I was considering closing down this thread. I keep a training log other places too, and was feeling with all the mocking and criticizing people have done lately on this forum that my log here was just a waste of time. Your comment is appreciated and enough for me to not close it down.

I trained at a strongman gym for a while in Norfolk, VA. Some of the nicest people I've ever met. Cmoore is right...beastly. Keep it up.

Light yoke runs for warmup, 250 pound keg over 50", light stone work....

[cmoore]

Nice work. How much time before Nats again? Where are they this year?

[HairyScandinavian]

I didn't realize you had a log running, Ox. Looking forward to checking in on it.

Open nationals is in Mississippi in November. I'm doing Masters Nationals and it's in Indianapolis Sept 14th and 15th.

[bigtallox]

Time to deadlift the 510 pound frame for reps.....

[bigtallox]

Time for some pictures....

Here I'm pulling a 57,000 pound fire engine...

[bigtallox]

Me and 3 times worlds strongest man Bill Kazmaier....

You make Bill look tiny, but that is one strong dude. Awesome video's, How much does that dumbell weigh that you were one arm rowing?

It was cool meeting Bill. He complemented me on my hand size and grip strength when I shook his hand. Seriously. He asked for me to squeeze his hand as hard as I could, it was cool. He seems to be a really nice guy.

That barbell weighs about 120 pounds. ( it's big and makes it harder to get full range of motion, it's rough and will scratch you if ) When I made it I wanted it to weight about 140 but it turned out about 120, that's how it goes. I'm going to make another one, that will be between 140 and 150. We mostly use them to overhead press.

300 pound keg, 49" bar

[cmoore]

When BTO does hammer curls he says 1 cmoore, 2 cmoore, 3.....

Just a few more weeks to nats. Woot!

Cmoore, you must be psychic. After yet more personal attacks today ( all I did was post about how typically lots bicyclists go by my house while were training strongman events, and some person I've never interacted with on this forum posted an attack on me because of my post. URG! ) , I was coming here tonight to post a message saying I'm shutting down this thread, at least temporarily, and that if anybody wants to contact me they can PM me. I can't do that knowing you're interested in my nationals.

[EB68]

I wouldn't let those people get on your nerves too bad. I like watching your video's and events, I just don't post much to not clutter up your journal.

[bigtallox]

Heavy yoke session ( when my body was already feeling taxed ). This is almost 800 pounds.

[cmoore]

Very cool. Keep em coming.
