Another Fun Sunday, 7-06-03

[b fold the truth]

I woke up this morning knowing that my workout wasn't gonna go well...lol. I felt like I was fighting all night long in my sleep, night sweats, tossing and turning, kept waking up, etc... Woke up feeling dehydrated and couldn't get hydrated...

I did some light stuff in the gym. Zerchers and Calf Raises...but nothing really to speak of. Couldn't get going really....

Conan's Wheel
600 x 1.5 turns or so (really can't remember)
500 x 1 turn

Medley:
650 yoke, 550 tire, 375 duck walk, 400 sled x 25' each
walked in between legs of the medley and still got it in 50 seconds. I hope to get it under 40 next week with a heavier sled and heavier yoke.

At this point...the driveway was spinning in my head non-stop.

Hercules Hold (thicker handle than last week, much harder)
300 x 33 seconds
150 x 30+ seconds (easy)

Truck Push
Suburban 100', 24 seconds (I think)

That was it for me really...everyone else had an AWESOME DAY!!!

600 on the Wheel:

Medley:

(showing off by only using 3 fingers on the sled)

kingc's girl Amanda had an awesome day!!!!

RIGHT CLICK AND 'SAVE TARGET AS'!!!!

OHP with 75 pounds and a thick bar

 

[b fold the truth]

This is her telling us how EASY Strongman Training is and that she wanted to do the medley again...

 

[b fold the truth]

king c set Pr's on EVERY event!!!!!

230 Stone as a 4th stone

Narrowly missing the 245 stone as a 5th stone

 

[b fold the truth]

Chance had a good day too. He looks to be in good shape and strong!!!!

 

[b fold the truth]

Corey worked really hard to...just needs more base strength to get better. He is 15 and has not lifted weights since the 7th grade!!!!!

 

[b fold the truth]

Jason had a very solid day too. His Viking Press is going up and he set PR's on everything this week I think...

Looking lean on the Conan's Wheel just as he drops it...

I guess he got rid of the facial hair to help with the aerodynamics on the medley... Something helped because he finished the medley with room to spare...

 

[b fold the truth]

brian747478 had a solid day too. I think he set PR's on every event also...

He even made the comment that he didn't think that the medley was all that bad...and that we should add 50 pounds to the Super yoke, 25+ to the duck walk, and at least 100 pounds to the sled...just to make it worth doing...

I had a pretty good time today even spite my horrible performance. I'll be back next week and I hope to get that medley under 30 seconds. I am gonna be sore tomorrow though..lol.

Brian is looking very thick! Great to see more people getting involved. A fun Sunday indeed.

 

[brian747478`]

Thanx zander. I have actually leaned up a little. Been doing cardio bout 2 days a week(lot for me) preparing for this medley, conan, and a helacious stone run at this tourney. Jason and I were just happy that we finished the medley. I think I made an EXTREMELY sarcastic comment to b bout adding some weights to the medley. If he added that weight, anyone would be hard pressed to finish.
brian

 

[Cuthbert]

I'll finish it faster than you Brian.. maybe I'll juse use middleweigt weights to rub it in...

just kidding... nice work man, looks like I'll ahve my hands full with kingc... I'll leave you for another day brother

She's just now learning bout ohp's, box squats, board presses, dl's, tate presses. some of them she is learning with me such as tate presses, it was my 1st time doing them when she done them.

Glad that you are excited. The women's class will be tough from one end to the other...for sure. I think that EVERY event is really gonna matter in the women's class.

At the end of the contest...people should just feel like they have accomplished something...and survived.
