MattM Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 NATIONALS 2017 WRITE UP Results: 1st Place in the 231lb division, 1st Place overall middleweight class (out of 68), Receipt of Middleweight Pro Card Event 1: Log Clean & Press Every Rep in 60 seconds. Managed 5 reps, took my time and went for a solid performance instead of rushing and risking loosing a rep. I believe I could have managed 6 or 7 if more time was allowed, so working on speeding up the clean would have been my focus. Multiple way tie for second after this event. Event 2: 720lb Frame Deadlift at 16" pick heights for reps in 60 seconds. Managed 18 reps in the time, completed my 19th rep after 60 seconds expired. My only issue was that my straps were slipping and I needed to take time to make adjustments twice. 19 reps would have put me alone in first place, instead I tied for first place with a few other athletes. After this event I was in a 3 way tie for first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Event 3: 350lb Husafell Carry for Maximum Distance. I managed 318ft 1inch on this event, putting me in seventh for the event. My only change would have been to train slightly lighter for higher distances, as I thought grip would be my limiting factor instead of hamstrings giving out. I also let out a little air when I heard the other 2 athletes tied for my lead drop their stones to shout, and that may have cost me a few feet. After this event I was alone in 1st place overall. Event 4: 720 Yoke Carry for 60ft. Managed the carry in 8.47 seconds to place 4th in this event. I am very happy with this outcome, I believe I could have shaved a very small amount of time off this event if I had put the gas on earlier in the event instead of remaining cautious. I remained in alone in 1st place overall after this event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Event 5 (FINAL EVENT): 310lb Stone of Steel (no tacky) over 50" Bar for reps in 60 seconds. I managed 8 reps on this event, and am happy with my performance considering that I have had a nagging left arm biceps injury from the summer during training. I was only able to train this weight once in prep, for a triple. In future events I would have utilized single motion loads in conjunction with lapped loads to increase my rep total. I was in a multiple way tie for third in this event, and still alone in 1st place overall to secure my win My win still hasn't sunk in, or the fact that what I've been working for ever since starting strongman has been done. I haven't picked my next comp, but have started my offseason trying to make some improvements to be competitive at the Pro level!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Saturday 9/8/18 Inverted Row - BW x 20,18,15 Dumbbell Chest - 50 x 15 x 3 Chest Supported Rear Delt - 15 x 25,20,15 Swiss Bar Narrow Grip Pullover - 85 x 5 (didn't feel right) Eccentric Biceps & Triceps Work -15 min upright bike Monday 9/10/18 Yoke Carry 465 x 80ft x 3 Axle Bar Deadlift (straps, belt) 305 x 1 x 8 -working on setting up by feel Incline Walking 30 min 8% 2.5mph Tuesday 9/11/18 Log Clean & Strict Press (clean once) 125 x 3 155 x 2 185 x 1 215 x 1 245 x 1 265 x 1 285 x 2 -felt stong today, also I guess the log I was using is 125 not 120 Log Clean & Press (leg drive, clean every rep) 265 x 5 x 2 (Volume PR) -vipered the first two reps on the second set just for fun, felt very good Swiss Bar Lockouts (set at mid forehead) 115 x 1 205 x 1 255 x 1 325 x 1 325 x 2 (Rep PR) Dumbbell Incline Bench Press (holding the lockout for a sec each rep) 30 x 10 60 x 8 90 x 5 125 x 12 (Rep PR) -15 min incline walking at 8% 2.5mph, 30 min recumbent bike Probably one of the overall strongest press workouts I've had. I'm amazed nothing felt heavy except for the first working set of lockouts where I got out of position and missed the second rep. Starting this peaking block I was scared to start cleaning every rep because it's very taxing for me, but I'm so glad I did because it was what I needed to bring this event up.
