Exodus:

Keep working those triceps, tate presses, overhead presses, etc... You will need them on the Viking Press.

Hit the cardio...work the foot drills. Can you jump rope???

[Cuthbert]

Clint... can we double dip on the viking?

 

[b fold the truth]

Clint... can we double dip on the viking?

As of right now...nope. I really think that defeats the purpose of it being a Viking Press... The double dip on the Viking Press makes a HUGE difference and I just don't agree with it on the Viking. We can't do it at ANY Pro contest... Not sure why they let people get away with at in NASS contests.

B True

 

[Cuthbert]

man... you just cramped my style, lol... guess I gotta work the tri's even harder now

Cuthbert

 

[kingc_79]

i just tried the herc hold on crossover machine from top w/150 and did it for i min and 4sec. so i really need to work on that.lol

 

[b fold the truth]

man... you just cramped my style, lol... guess I gotta work the tri's even harder now

Cuthbert

You can use leg drive...you just can't double dip. I get enough leg drive on the beginning of the lift to get the bar well over my head. Come on up soon and use mine...so you get a better feel of how it will be.

Just as long as you stay above 225lbs. That way, I might have a chance to win an event.....

[Exodus]

Cuthbert.............. quit complaining

B fold........ will do on making the tri's stronger......... yeah i can jump rope, i just got the most recent issue of monster muscle..... it has a good section on strongman. it said that they best peice of cardio equip you can use is the stair stepper......... what do you think..... ?

joker - you'll be a beast man. dont worry about me. there aint a snowballs chance im getting under 225lbs........ ha ha ha

I'm sure I'll get LOTS of complaints about the Viking Press from LOTS of people. They went and let them double dip at the Beast fo the East this year and everyone will expect that rule from here on out...lol.

I think that it will benefit everyone if they can set up some way to simulate the medley. You will need to run 25' with a yoke, back 25', down 25' with a tire, back 25', down 25' with a power stairs medley, back 25', then drag a sled 25'... None of the implements will be that heavy for anyone but the time that they waste between implements will be crucial...

B True

 

[Exodus]

hmm..........so not only is it insane, but you've just gone stark craving mad!!!!!!!

lol.........j/k

im glad you just told me that, because i would have assumed that it was just do yolk 25 feet, drop it pick up duck walk and keep going. now that i know well have to run back, that puts a whole lot more emphasis on things.

[b fold the truth]

I was going to set it up in a straight line, one after the other, but it would suck to reset the equipment after every person did the event...

Hey exodus,
I did " a little" stair stepping" last night and think that it feels similar to the burn your quads get while doing the sled drag.
As far as "the best" I seem to think all "interval" type cardio would be good.
brian

 

[Exodus]

ok....... well do the stair stepper tomorrow. how long did you do it for???

X

 

[Backlash]

What is double-dipping on the viking press?

 

[Exodus]

you bend you knees and shove up like a push press, then dip your knees again and catch it like a jerk on the olympic clean and jerk. so once you dip your knees again, your arms are straight and locked out overhead, then all you have to do is squat the rest of the way up.

X

 

[brian747478`]

stair stepper, hahaha. i won't say how long i did it, did it till my quads cramped severely. have not worked quads much lately due to knee pain, so after bout 3 1/2 minutes, i cramped and i left the gym. may try to a little more after dynamic lower body tonight

exodus
you don't realize how worried cuthbert is right now, he thinks the bar should not move and he should drop under it in a full squat, then come uprainbow:

cuthberth, you know i wish i could jerk like u, so i have to give u some grief about this

[brian747478`]

cuthbert, we can work on your shoulder press, but that might add muscle and put you in my class

 

[Cuthbert]

Keep talking smack... then I'll decide to put on 25 lbs, destroy you in competition, then drop back down to 200..



...FATTY!


lol

 

[kingc_79]

worked on my ohp a min ago(sucks)
maxed w/like 190(gotta get my shoulders better., anyways its a pr.)

and i set a pr on squat(never squated heavy at all) 345

 

[brian747478`]

good job king, cuthbert, you know i'd like to see you in 225's. then i'd have to really get to work. not sure what more i could do???

 

[kingc_79]

thanks shane appreciat it....slow,,,,but i'm progressing

 

[brian747478`]

def progressing, last fall, my max push press was 190 also. i could close grip 325, but not push press crap. hahha
you are going the right direction king

 

[Exodus]

brian747479.......... im kinda the opposite. when i was up in kentucky in April, i had a max bench press of 275lbs. but at the training day i did 210 on the log for 3, go figure.
