carusom1 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Kelly- Thanks again for coming out and all of your help!!! Especially on the knee wrap = perfect! Looks like you got some good workouts in while in LA. And, yes, you were correct, I didn't fit in all the rides. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongman1 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Absolutely Mike! 3/29/14 - Sat Squat warmup to 315 Yoke 550 640 Trying some different shoes, and wrapping my knees. I wouldn't say this was a failure, but I found some things that don't help. One Arm Hangs 1 x 25s DB Holds - holding the end 30 x 58s 45 x 15s - left only 35 x 30s Circus DB One Hand Deadlift 500 x 0 x 145 - not too brag, but I think I had more failed attempts than JDef! Sandbag Pick/Clean Trying different picks with the new 205 Fun having the fellas all doing the grip stuff today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongman1 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 4/1/14 - Tues Axle C&P 2 x 230 1 x 250 Barbell OH 1 x 255 2 x 255 - cleaned the first, actually continental, but i'm not ashamed, lol. Bench 225 - stopped early, arms feeling beat TEE / TKE 2 x 15 x blue / 2 x 15 x blue Curl barbell for some reps Left arm seems to be lagging and making the press difficult. I think when I started using the inzer elbows sleeves + doing a cont clean, it ravaged my bicep and its still a little beat up. Didn't care too much at the time, but it might be affecting my press a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Sorry I missed the rest of the workout, I was still babysitting haha. So it is your left bicep acting up, or is it the elbow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongman1 Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 It felt more like the bicep, not sure why that would affect the press though. 4/3/14 - Thurs Sumo Deadlift long warmup, took forever 1 x 2 x 495 4 x 3 x 495 Ab Wheel 15 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongman1 Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Thanks Gent! 4/8/14 - Tues At Orlando Barbell. Nice PL gym, chalk provided! Not really a good place for overhead though.

strongman1 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 /4/14/14 - Mon Axle C&P 2 x 245 + 3 cleans - was having rack issues. the axle is so bent that if it rolls forward I'd drop it, I don't use thumbs so it was hard to stop. if it rolls in, it really strains my elbows and wrists. because of this, i'm done using this particular axle. not worth the wear and tear. One Arm DB Press 5 x 105 - 3R 3 x 115 - 2R I pretty much never do this, and it shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I'm excited for all of the crew to be doing some of the same events!! Good run on the DB, we should get together to think of a way to get tight clamps on the Circus DB so they don't slide during the clean... unless you guys have figured that out already!

strongman1 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 I was just using the regular DB handle, not the fat handle... 4/16/14 - Wed Deadlift 10 x 455 - belt/straps - touch and go Barbell Rows 8 x 275 stopped after this, left forearm/bicep still beat up. Pulldowns Ab Wheel 2 x 25 Need to get in the groove of conventional DL. Been doing sumo for about 3.5 months. All full reset reps too, of course. Doing touch and go was hard to get back into, even though it wasn't that long ago I was a touch and go whore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongman1 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Thanks Mike. But no, not a PR unfortunately. I did 13 x 500 full reset a long time ago. Good news is 12 x 475 wasn't a max, and my back is holding up, so happy with that. I'm planning on doing something I haven't done in a really long time... compete. In 10 weeks at Sauk Rapids in the 265 class. Also, started a diet this week, with the goal of getting to about 240 so I can go LW. Maybe not by Sauk Rapids, but still this summer. Now, on to burning off those 18g of carbs from today... 4/14/14 - Thurs Jump Rope 5 x 100 Light Band Curls Band Pull Aparts foam roll, stretch.

strongman1 Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) 4/29/14 - Tues Axle C&P 2 x 245 Some light upper back Ab Rotation Ended the pressing early. 'ceps, forearms, wrists are taking a beating from the axle. JDef got a new ironmind axle so I really wanted to try it. Going to stop axle for a while, probably even switch to bench to give my arms a rest. Don't need to work axle for any contests this summer anyway.

carusom1 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 How was the hunger with the low carb day? That's pretty low of fats. Are you trying lose weight for the contest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing some conditioning that day actually helped reduce the hunger. I don't have to lose weight to go 265. I would like to be able to go LW sometime after Sauk Rapids though.
