jwdeff Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Nice job today Matt. Post here to register for the competition or send Brent Hamm a message on Facebook. Event details are posted. The Conan's wheel is going to be done a little different than I thought. Shouldn't make much difference though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Ok thanks for the heads up! Let me know if it works now! I do them as a prehab exercise, just because as I understand it biceps injuries are the most common when training strongman events... And I'll do anything to sneak extra arm work in!
