Mikael Siversson Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 My youngest daughter (16yo) Shawna will attempt to crack 100k in the axle before the end of the year (72k class). This is her first workout, last set. We are starting gently with a finishing tripple with 43k. No idea if this is completely unrealistic. 20170212_142235_3335098042204.mp4 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Second workout with the axle for Shawna. 60k on the bar. Apollon's axle 60k 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 70k glued to the floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 New PR of 65k. Still learning the technique hence the 'steering' with the tongue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 We also tried the 2HP but could not be bothered changing the width so its pretty wide for her (64mm). Best lift was 36.7k (video above) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bencrush Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Great job on the new 71kg PR! Very solid lift and nice pause at the top - as it should be done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Thanks Ben, she was happy to see that someone commented on her lifting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_wigren Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Strong lift on the axle! And very strict too! But I guess that's inevitable when Mikael Siversson is your father XP 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 New PRs this weekend for Shawna. 40.3k at 58 mm width (previous PR 39.3k) 73k on the axle (previous PR 71k) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 Another good workout for Shawna. No new PR in the axle but she had two very close attempts at 74k. Big PR in the pinch though with 44.1k (previous 40.3k). This time at 54mm width which suited her better than 58mm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 74k on the bar. Believing in yourself is half the battle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Great workout for Shawna today. Here is her new pr in the axle (75k, previous pr 73k) New pr in the 2HP with 46.1k @ 54mm width (previous pr 44.1k) Plenty of air under 47.1k as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 New workout and new pr. 2HP 46.6k @ 54mm width (previous pr 46.1k) Axle PR with 76k (previous PR 75k). Also very close attempt at 78k. She lowered the weight a fraction too early. Many would have passed this but I like strict rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Very good back position when deadlifting. I've seen so many bad videos of Dad's training their kids and HORRIBLE round backing deadlifts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 No new PR this week but 80k in the axle is probably not far away as she pulled it above the knees. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar Milosevic Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 It's a great thing your daughter likes strength training and especially grip training. She's also very strong, I know a lot of men that can't do that on an axle ("men" ). Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) Shawna's last workout as a 16 year-old. New PR in the 2HP with 47.1k at 54mm width (previous PR 46.6k). She was also quite a bit closer at pulling 80k in the axle compared with last week. Edited April 23, 2017 by Mikael Siversson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) No max out in the axle this week. Heaviest lift was 75k for four singles. The 2HP felt heavyish for her and she missed the first attempt at 46k. She did however pull it second time and went on setting a new PR with 47.35k (so 47.25k referred to in the video does not take into account the set up weighs 25.10k and not an even 25k).

Mikael Siversson Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 Shawna smashing her previous axle pr (which was 77 kg set last week) with a flawless lift. She also raised her 2HP pr by half a kg. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 Shawna added another 0.5k to her axle pr. Had an off day with the pinch so no new pr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Best 2HP was 46.1 k (pr is 47.85k). However the axle workout was once again really good with a new pr. She is now 14k away from the record in her weight class (at 17). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Very nice - especially the Axle form. Have you done much experimenting with the pinch? It appears as if she could bring it a little closer to her body (step slightly forward) and that might engage her lats a little more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael Siversson Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 No not really, all I have told her is to lift with the arms slightly bent and the elbows a bit forward. I am technically not good at the 2HP at all as I can't pinch more in the 2HP than my combined right and left 1HP. I think she probably could improve considerably with a good coach.
