My name is King and I'm an amateur strongman that's looking to start doing NAS sanctioned events next season. I'm gonna post my workouts on a regular basis. I'm going for straight strength training with some endurance training the closer I get to competition season. I have to work in cardio as well.
Today was "Squat" day
Leg press 400lbs x 12 reps x 3 sets ( heaviest I can go im my early morning gym) I went for reps
Heavy step ups with 80 lbs dbs x 3 sets
Leg extensions 250lbs x 10 reps x 3 sets
Front squats 105lbs x 6 reps (warm up)
200lbs x 4 reps
315lbs x 2 reps
Had my usual pre workout shake this morning and felt pretty damn good. Drank a "Guru" energy drink as well. Those things get me focused baby. I'm changing gyms soon because my early morning gym doesn't have the leg poundage that I need. I'll keep you posted. Should happen this week though.

my names master, today i did 6-10 bed turns and pillow adjusters. Got in around 11 hours of sleep. then woke up and did some cheddar and sour cream ruffel training. Followed that up with some tv and bagel with cream cheese chews.
probably do another food session in a few minutes and follow that up with a few hours of sitting in a comfy chair on the internet.

Did I do this wrong? I thought I was posting correctly. Well, I don't think I messed up so I'm still gonna post my w/o's here and later today give a full background on myself and goals. Also "Shut up and squat", I can't do 600lbs deadlifts for reps. Not yet at least.

Ok here we go. I'm an amateur strongman from CT. I wrestled back in high school and tried to keep up with my training after but of course fell behind it all. Fast forward about six years ago and i started lifting again. I had the wrong form and no nutritional basis what so ever and it showed when I really tried to push some weight.
Well I struggled with that for a little while and then a friend put me on the right path. My form was corrected and I made some good gains. As I was forming some sort of routine my friend asked me to show up at a strongman competition that he was in. I had seen the ones on ESPN before and thought they were amazing and wished that I could at least attempt what they were doing.
The day of th event I went to see him and was hooked hard within just a few minutes. I changed my whole routine as much as I could to focus on power/strength movements. But I was missing the event training that I despereately needed. That wasn't more evident to me then on the day of my first event. I fell behind in things i knew i was better at. I was slow and sluggish, I couldn't complete some events. I was so embarrased that I couldn't sleep at all that night. The best thing that came out of that day was I met my future strength/strongman coach Joe Muguvero.
I called him some time after the competition and he told me to come down to his home gym called "The Breakfast Club". I was like a kid in a candy store. All the implements were there, the knowledge on how to use them and not to mention the best damn group of people I have ever met.
Since then I have entered two more competitions and have placed 10th and 4th. I'm doing good but can always do better. Now I have a nutritionalist that I'm working with and a routine being put together for me. I'm on track I think and will post every work out and whatever vids on this forum for all of you to critique and advise me on friends.Last edited by Darkone8921; 09-15-2009 at 09:32 AM.

200lbs x 6 reps
220lbs x 6 reps
255lbs x 2 sets x 2 reps
Seated over head press (machine) single arm
85lbs x 6 reps

60lbs x 6 reps
70lbs x 6 reps
80lbs x 6 reps
I have a rotator cuff slight pain on the left side. I felt really good though. I have to focus on getting there earlier so I can get more in. Had the same pre workout shake that still is kicking ass. Had about five and a half hours of sleep which is about the norm for me.Want Some?!

Today was a "Pull" day. Here we go.......
Seated close grip pull downs 160lbs x 6reps (warm up)
190lbs x 6reps
205lbs x 6reps
220lbs x 6reps
Seated rows 340lbs x 10reps x 3sets
Standing bent over rows (smith machine)
115lbs x 10reps (warm up)
205lbs x 5reps
250lbs x 5reps
275lbs x 5reps
Single arm DB rows 100lbs x 25 reps each arm x 1 set
Wasn't as hard as I wanted to go but I hit a pr on the bent over rows. Wanted to squeeze a few more exercises in but my gut wasn't working with me this morning. Had my pre workout shake without bannanas ( forgot to buy some last night) I'm sure i will feel that later.
I really have to change gyms. I can do more on the seated rows and single arm rows as well. Had a good rotator cuff stretch this morning so it doesn't feel bad at all. Have to get there earlier and not eat crap that will have me doubled over in the morning.Want Some?!

Ok. Today was my first day of "Olympic" style lifting. My numbers are really light but I was only supposed to use moderate weight anyway.
Clean and Jerk
45lbs x 6 reps (warm up)
135lbs x 5 reps x 3 sets
155lbs x 3 reps x 3 sets
175lbs x 1 rep
175lbs x 3 reps
These felt pretty good. I was a little intimidated by them at first but was ok after a few reps. After the first rep at 175 I almost stopped. It got kinda heavy kinda fast but after a few screams and elevating the testasterone a little i repped out three in the end.
Snatch
45lbs x 6 reps (warm up)
95lbs x 3 reps x 4 sets
115lbs x 2 reps x 3 sets
I felt like a sissy using such little weight but it still kicked my ass by the end. All of these numbers are pr's for me since this is my first go at it.Want Some?!

300lbs x 100ft
400lbs x 100ft
500lbs x 100ft

Clean & Jerk
135lbs x 3 reps x 2 sets (warm up)
185lbs x 3 reps
205lbs x 2 reps
225lbs x 1 rep (pr)
Felt pretty good doing these. Had to belt up at the 185lbs mark. I think I can do more but I can't max every week so i'll wait a few weeks to max again.

120lbs x 4 reps
130lbs x 4 reps

Today was "O" lifting day. I was intent on using the right form. Needless to say to my shock and dismay, this set my numbers back a bit. But I know that in time, i'll get them back up where they belong and beyond. Here we go.......l
Snatches
115lbs x 4 reps x 2 sets (warm up)
135lbs x 2 reps
135lbs x 2 reps
135lbs x 2 reps
Was already almost dead while using the right technique on these. I still have to keep my hands all the way out on the bar.
135lbs x 2 reps
135lbs x 2 reps
I truly suck at these lifts and it's gonna take me awhile to get my numbers up. I felt like a complete retard doing these with such little weight on the bar.
Clean&Jerk
135lbs x 3 reps x 2 sets (warm up)
175lbs x 2 reps
185lbs x 2 reps (more like a continental)
201lbs x 2 reps (very ugly)
I know this sucks but I have to belt up and get my tech down for these. This will kick my ass for a long time. I will gut through it of course. I am King! Give it hell!!!!!Want Some?!

"Oly" day yet again. If you have read the rest of this log you already know how I feel about these types of exercises. Here we go.........
Snatches
115lbs x 3 reps (warm up)
135lbs x 3 reps
135lbs x 3 reps
135lbs x 3 reps
Belted up for the last two sets
135lbs x 3 reps
I tried to get grown on this set (payed for it)
155lbs x 3 reps
Felt drained as hell after these today for some reason. I think it's because of the added weight of the last set. But I G'd up and finished my w/o
Clean & Press
155lbs x 1 rep (warm up)
175lbs x 3 reps
Struggled with these a little. Had to take a little time between each rep
185lbs x 3 reps
Same as above
205lbs x 3 reps
By the second reps it was more like a continental than anything else.
I still suck at these but will continue to gut through them as lond as my plans calls for them. I'll start making smaller jumps in weight as well as doing my cleans first. I think that will help me on these days.Want Some?!
