well well. Did legs today. My back is def. injured which i did not want but now im pretty much sure of it. My upper back trap tightness is gone now i had one of my friends massage the shit out of it and he loosened it up so i don't have any tightness/constriction of movement. Still has a slight twinge to it at time but nothing that is hindering me. My left lumbar is fucked. I don't know why but it is sore to the touch, and my lower back pumps RIGHT up as soon as i do anything requiring back. I'm not gonna pull or squat for the next 2 weeks because this HAS to heal before my show. I did 500 for a single tonight pretty easy but my entire body was definitely not pushed to the limit or even close. My lower back was like "yep, thats enough for me were gonna call it quits here" while all the rest of me had PLENTY left in the tank so it is holding me back big time. I can't do anything for reps because my back just gets so tight. Gonna try and figure out exactly what it could be but in the mean time ice, heat and rest. Not sure if i will do events sunday, gotta see how my back feels it might be the smart thing to take the week off.

Front Squats -

135lbs x8
225lbs x6
315lbs x1 i was gonna do 3 but i kinda choked myself out with the bar and almost passed out so i was only able to get 1 before i had to rack it. lol

Back Squats -

315lbs x5
405lbs x3
500lbs x1

I did some leg press after that with meaningless weight but my left hamstring was tight as hell which was pulling on my lower back on that side just making it hurt like hell so i couldn't really do shit after the squats. Did some side bends and decline crunches then packed it up.

Damn bro that sucks, hope it heals for the comp, would you get some videos again if you enter please? They motivate me so much

Yeah just gonna rest this week. I'm gonna workout Friday but everything is going to be seated. I'm not going to get significantly stronger in a month and my strength (when fully healed) already exceeds where i need it to be so i just need to play it safe the next month and come in strong for the comp.

I will have videos as usual EM and pics.

Trained today since my back felt good. Did a press workout, not bad for taking a few days off.

Seated DB Shoulder Press -

55lbs x8
65lbs x8
85lbs x8
100lbs x3 i couldnt clean these off the floor in one motion and press them like i could with the other DB's so i had to have someone hand them to me and it fucked me all up.

Tricep extensions seated -

75lbs x8 way to light
125lbs x8 2 sets

DB Skulls -

20lbs x10 3 sets arms were so pumped could barely do these!!!

Then i did a few sets of DB and ez bar curls with 55lb dbs and about 75lbs on the ez bar.

 

[Big_BK]

LOOOOOOONG day today. Got alot accomplished. My trap is still tight so i gotta work on getting that loosened up because it is limiting me on everything, i just cant tighten my whole body up as one like i could before but i can still push though and get things done, just not as good as it could be. Got a video of the medley, lets just say i am not a fan of any type of medley.

Log Press -

Empty (90lbs) 10reps
180lbs x 3 reps
200lbs x 5 reps, could probably get 6-8 day of show.

Conans Wheel -

160lbs 3 revolutions
340lbs 2 revs
430lbs 1 rev + belt added
520lbs 1 3/4 rev.

Famers -

105lbs 100ft turn at 50ft
155lbs same distance
stopped here since it was hurting my trap and i don't have farmers in my next contest anyway.

Yoke -

300lbs 65' super fast then took it back 65' slower

Sandbag / Yoke Medley -

100lb sandbag 25' - 150lbs sandbag 50' - 480 Yoke 50'
100lb sandbag 25' - 150lbs sandbag 50' - 570 Yoke 50' (i think it was 570, it was pretty close to 600.) this is the one i got a video of. will post in a sec.

Stones -

215 - 60'
250 - 60'
back fried and just tired as hell in general so gave up here. Good day overall!

sounds like youre having all kinds of fun...
...you ever hear of a strongman comp with weight classes? or like an under 200 category... ?
for your trap, have you tried sitting in a steam room, that might help it out some, i do all my stretching post workout in there...

 

[goin on 4T]

They are all like that bro. Usually a 200 and under, 201-230, 231-260 i beleive then 260+. Havent tried a steam room. I was using a heating pad for a while but it wasnt doing anything. My back is killing me today, my left erector is sore a fuck, looks like no back this week again...

I never asked, but do you have your pro card yet? Is this upcoming meet one where you can earn one?

B-

 

[Big_BK]

HHAHAHAHAH no i don't have my pro card. I am far from it i can assure you. A bunch of guys i train with are actually going for their cards the same day i am competing in maine but they are going to orlando. Back feels alot better now that i am up and moving, i think i just slept on it weird!
