DE Upper body and Tire Flipping - 6/03

[Exodus]

whoa,.............. this was a tough one. workout was fine, not too tough, but the tire made me feel about 2 feet tall, talk about a humbling exercise. much love goes out to clint, t3c, kingc-79, ofwolfandman, brian747479......... and the elusive cheese. i have flipped tires before at Bfolds, and at my house last week, but today was a duzzie.

DE Upper body.

Speed bench - 185 x 10 x 3. 275 x 1, and 295 x 0 (again too greedy)

decline elbow out ext - 50's x 4 x 8.

side db laterals - 25's x 3 x 10.

rear db laterals - 25's x 3 x 10.

then to work on grip work for the farmers i did two sets of the following. going from db, to the next db immediately.

120's for 20 sec. 95's for 20 sec. 70lbs for 15 sec. 45's for 20 sec. and then 20's for 35 sec. squeezing the thumb as tight as possible.

then went home and flipped my tire for 80 feet. i dont know time, becuase the contest is using Bfolds 550lb tire. Now, i have flipped the 675lb tire you have at your house Bfold, and my tire feels heavier or as heavy as that one. so im going with the low end. it was a 675lb tire for 80feet in about 2 minutes...... give or take 15 seconds.

now that im beat up, tired, and out of breath...... im going to eat......... and relax.

Good job man. Just hit the light cardio a few times between now and then...and stay injury free.

My first tiime on the 675 i got it three flips, max effort every flip, video is on ryan brown's site i think. Now 6 mos. later i can get it 60 feet in just a little over 40 secs. just keep plugging at it. come up and get b to work on form with u, it is a form thing. gets easier every time.
good to see you training.

Hey thats the plan.............. i will flip the tire again on saturday, and then again on monday. monday and tuesday will be my last days to workout...........then i will rest up untill saturday.

i will do some cardio on thursday as well............

and the only injury i have is the lack of skin on my biceps, thanks to the tire.

hey b, gotta question........... since your not competing, is there any way you would want to rent your belt and that blue pad? If not, i understand........ i just havent gotten to ordering them yet. i found jacalsgym to get the back support, and question......... is your belt from elitefts.com?

[brian747478`]

i always here if that tire makes marks on your shoulders, you are doing it right. i have on real ugly bruise on my bicep too this week

I should probably have all of my major training gear there that weekend. There should not be a problem using my belt(s).

The tire shouldn't be cutting into your biceps....but you shouldn't have any skin left on your shoulders (where your delts meet your chest).

I have ordered belts from Inzer and I believe that monstermuscle also has very good service.

B True

 

[Exodus]

hmm....... i dont think my form is that bad, but again i have no one to look at it. but im doing it the way you showed me up at your house and it pulled skin off then too off the biceps. it did my shoulder too in ky, but i was wearing a shirt that didnt let that happen.

My form starts good, and then slowly gets a little off.

[b fold the truth]

Not sure...I ususlly have to watch someone flip their tire several times to figure out what they are doing wrong. Everyone flips differently but I feel that there are some 'constants'.

B True

 

[Exodus]

im pretty sure you would have to have closed your eyes on the last few, but i felt solid on doing them. besides i flipped the tire on sunday in stead of saturday so i only had 48 hours rest. my gpp is a big factor. maybe not for this contest by the time saturday gets here.......... but if i were to do the open, i would die

Ryan is trying to get me to compete head to head against him on Friday afternoon on all of the events...to see where he stands and how things will flow for the contest...lol

B True

 

[Exodus]

oh now that would be fun to watch. I wont be up there untill later, somewhere around 8-11pm. But you could video it and we see it later. Is ryan going to be trying to get his pro card in st louis??? Thats where your having your first contest right??

X

 

[Cuthbert]

Are you serious B?

Ryan has seemed VERY strong to me lately... his performance at the PL meet last month was very impressive.

but I'll be there that night, should be fun to watch.

Hmmm...not sure where you got that Ryan was trying to earn his pro card in St. Louis or where that would be my first pro contest... I 'might' do a contest in Indiana in August...but who knows..

Ryan wants to go head to head...but unless my knee gets A LOT better and the numbness goes away I will not be doing anything.

Ryan doesn't seem to be VERY strong...he IS VERY strong!!

my bad. must have heard some wrong info somewhere. The part about ryan was just a guess.

[Cuthbert]

Tell ya what, if you can't do it, I'll go head to head with brown, give him a run for his money.....

maybe i'd beat him in the overhead....lol

I shouldn't pick fun of people who aren't here to defend themselves....


lol

[Cuthbert]

Ryan's competing in July in Indiana, if he wins the heavyweights he'll earn his pro card.

Its a heavy meet, which I'm not looking forward competing in, but I'm just trying to get as much meet experience under my belt as I can.

I'd like to see Ryan win the pro card though.

cuthbert

 

[Exodus]

yeah.... it was fun in april watching him and Bfold lifting together.

Next, Saturday, are you competing too cuthbert??

X

 

[Cuthbert]

Yeah, I'll be there, competing in the 200lb open division... should be a good time.

I started training a few months ago and intended to enter the novice, but Ryan and the other guys talked me into going for the open.. and I'm glad I did.

See you in Nashville.

Cuthbert

 

[Exodus]

I thought about it, but the fact that there was a novice class, is what made me enter. there is a huge difference inbetween novice heavy and open heavy. I mean the log jumps from 130 to 240. the tire goes from 550 to 700. the farmers go from 150 to 240 each. and yolk goes from 425 to 800. then add in 5 stones.

thanks, no.......... first time i will do the novice.

[brian747478`]

Hey cuthbert, You and I might just go head to head if clint and brown do.

 

[Cuthbert]

BRING IT, SON!!!!

heheh

i just had to antagonize u a little

yea, same here man, cept i'm not heavy of course.lol. but if your lookin for a belt, b gave me a link i think on inzer.net and i got a 13mm belt for 39.95 i think. just used it yesterday and today and i like it alot. i just started w/all this stuff and i suck in my times on all of it, but i think it will be good just for the experience and competing(i've never competed in anything really). I'm reallly just hoping to go out there and beat my times from last week on all the events. i would be real happy.
