Can't go gym as snowed in
We had a huge snowstorm in cardiff 50cm snow. Normally we never get any snow at all, its very mild. So in a bit of shock really lol
My gyms are closed and theres no buses to get to them and the roads are impassable in cars
Meh

**Partyrocking** · 03-02-2018, 03:01 PM

Bummer about the gym. We got snow too, but it's too warm to stick.

**thehobbes** · 03-02-2018, 06:31 PM

Nooooo!

We got a lot of snow here too but that's just a normal day in March. You have to slow down a little bit and stay away from the crashed cars that are on fire.

i absolutely love log press. The way you have to lean back and the wide neutral grip makes it easy on my shoulders.

There was this evaluate your strength thing on misc where you put your lifts and it rated you.. i got advanced for everything, except exceptional for deadlift and novice for push press. Ik my ohp is poverty but NOVICE?! Not even intermediate? Part of me died right there srs

got my comp.in 3 months its not gonna improve much is it lol..
I guess its just those same long ass arms that make me be able to deadlift a house. You win some you lose some...

**thehobbes** · 03-16-2018, 07:09 PM

I've done a few lift calculators, I always get advanced on bp and ohp, but intermediate on squats and deadlifts. :/ I don't think bicep curls was on there but I'm sure I'd be expert status on that one.

**melDorado** · 03-20-2018, 04:24 AM

I can still.only curl what i could curl 4 years ago when i gave up curls

So.much for compounds lol....

Squat day

Lost 7.5kg off my squat eek
Feels lush to rep some out

2x5 RDL 122.5kg
3x trap bar carry sprints 105kg pretty fast i was
In my.comp wil be a 100kg frame carry...idk what that is but i can only imagine it's a trap bar carry -what else can it be? Also there's no farmers walk event. Hope im right lol

**Partyrocking** · 03-20-2018, 05:02 AM

I've heard that strongman events/weights often change from what was actually posted. Don't want to scare you, but there could be a farmer's walk even if it's not listed now.

**thehobbes** · 03-21-2018, 06:19 PM

^^^Horrible surprise - the whole competition is ONE HUGE FARMERS WALK!

!!! You kill me ham

That wouldn't be so bad because i have been training farmers walk hard loollllll
And no ohp

But the trap is way easier than single implements for sure
