Events
Stones
200 x 3 to 54" (2 sets)
240 x 3 to 54" (2 sets)
*Add tacky
300 x 3 to 54" (2 sets)
330 x 0 to 54"
*Remove Tacky
240 x 5 to 59" (2 sets)
240 x 7 to 59"
*300 felt really good. Should have went to 330 right away. Tacky got slimy from sweat. The humidity was also high, so the stones were a bit damp. The 330 also had a tone of dust on it, so when combined with moisture, the tacky just went to sh*t and the stone slid right through my arms. Wiped it off and decided to get some volume to a higher platform. Pretty happy with this.
My orders for events was to get some work in on stones. "I don't care what else you do, just get some solid work in on stones"....so I got up at 4:30 and drove about 3.5 hours up to train at Fenton Strongman Club this morning. I messed around with a few other things, but nothing of note.

Yeah, but not much more than that podcast released. There will be a car squat, some twist on farmers, loading medley, stones and log/db press medley. I think I got all those right. There will also be a front sausage hold for time....yes casual readers, you heard that right. We talked about it a bit, but he is staying tight lipped with some details, which I like. I don't want to have some unfair advantage over other competitors. $60 entry though, so that is good.

Well....needed to work on stones, ol' lady is out of town and they are good friends of mine that I trained with when I lived in Michigan. There is a place closer, but it was still a couple hours one way and you kinda have to do what they do. This was the best option.
Thanks. They were fun, but I need to get heavier next week.Strongman Training Log: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=138026593
