bubba29 Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Location: Crossfit Akron (Friday, 2-1) Did a strongman contest there. I really enjoyed it and hope to find more of these in the future. This event had a bit of a Crossfit flare to the strongman events as could be expcted. Event 1: Farmers carry 160#/hand for 50 feet then 10 pullups Same farmers carry then 8 pullups Do these rounds until you do 2 pullups then done. Did this in 2:27 and came in second. Event 2: Clean a 115# atlas stone to shoulder then squat for max reps in 3 minutes. This SUCKED! I did 35 and got 5th. Event 3: Zercher Yoke carry for max distance in 90 seconds, then max burpees in 60 seconds, then Zercher Yoke carry for max distance in 90 seconds. This was also pretty damn hard. There was a funky point system they used and I got 75 and came in first. Overall, I came in second in my division. Pretty happy with this because these events were a big test of endurance and I do no endurance training. Also saw Andrew Durniat and Jake Reynolds there. They did the super heavy division which was probably 30-40% heavy than all my implements were. They kicked ass. It was a great time and my wife and kids got to come and watch. My daughter filmed the first event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are sore today and that doesn't happen often. I was sad to be informed my globo gym is closing permanently next Wednesday. Not gonna really miss the gym. I did make some friends there over the years and I probably will not see many of them again as we will all go separate ways. Also the price was right. I suspect I will not find a place anywhere near $12/month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba29 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Location: Kusar's Gym Strongman Saturday. Did some sled drags, pushes, and fireman's drag. Stone simulator lift, a lot of stone to platform, box jumps. Did stone carry, axle DO deadlift, and heavy KB snatches. Then finished up with some farmer's walks with 45# bumpers, half 65 blobs, and 25# plate hubs. A lot of good hand work. I convinced 2 of the guys to compete at the end of April and I think they will do well in novice division. They work their hands several times a week now.

bubba29 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Good work with the strongman stuff, keep going hard! thx, i love it but am a little "strongman" and not really that strong. i certainly am learning why so many of those guys have such strong hands. a lot of what they do taxes the hands more than powerlifting and especially bodybuilding. farmer's walks, rope pulls, their dumbells have bigger handles, axle clean and press, and even stone lifts. it's a great way to increase strength while also working the hands.

bubba29 Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Location: King's Gym Did back and bi's today. Bodybuilder type stuff on free weights. Also did some hubbin's, pinchin' plates, and Fatgripz. Didn't document anything. Just getting used to new gym. Getting some funny looks doing grip stuff but they have some nice plates for hubbing. Hubbed a 45 first time ever. Got it left and floated it a bit right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After talking with him a bit I realized I read an article about him not too long ago. He used my Fatgripz to train axle press because there wasn't an axle bar at the gym. He weighed about the same as me but looked MUCH bigger. Usually he walks around a bit less than 195. Today he was about 183. He was taking it kinda easy because he had the Arnolds 175 class comp this weekend. He is struggling with a back injury but he said if it feels goods he could win it. I will be rooting for him because he seemed like a genuinely good guy. Read about him here: http://www.jtsstrength.com/articles/logs/interview-with-sami-patari-finlands-strongest-man-under-175/ Watch him here....he is STRONG: http://www.youtube.com/user/samipkp BTW, he has done grip comps in Finland and enjoys them.

bubba29 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Location: Scott Overholt Strength A friend of mine owns a kettlebell gym. He asked me to come and check it out. I have been messing with KBs since 2006. I have never gotten really serious with them but they do fit some good niches. This guy does only KBs. He is a damn guru at them. I went and got my ass kicked for about 40 minutes. It was the epitome of HIIT. I enjoyed myself and it could be something I do every once in a while. It just doesn't jive with my goals of getting stronger and getting bigger. Could it get someone in great shape? Hell yes. Will it raise maximal strength and lay slabs of muscle down? No in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba29 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Location: Kusar's Gym Did strongman training again yesterday. The thing with strongman, it works your grip whether you focus on grip or not. Got a lot of good work in. This is really helping my posterior chain strength.

bubba29 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Location: Kusar's Gym (Saturday) Did our strongman Saturday stuff. Lotta posterior chain work. Also hit grip pretty hard. Grip felt pretty strong despite my left forearm strain. I think if I am properly warmed up, it will not hold me back. It also felt pretty good the next day. I suspect I am getting over the hump with this injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
