Daniel Lambert And Strength Athletics


Daniel Lambert

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

My name is Daniel Lambert and I am a full time strength athlete from Auckland, New Zealand. I absolutely love anything to do with strength, especially grip strength and strength feats.

My focus is Strongman, and I recently competed at New Zealand's Strongest Man 2013 over the weekend, placing 2nd u105kg division and 6th overall. I had strained my left bicep, close to a tear, which unfortunately held be back quite a bit. Next year I will win u105kg and contend for the title!

Even with strongman as the focus, I still mix it up with Powerlifting, Weightlifting, Athletics, Highland Games and a bit of Odd Lifts. Soon I will be getting into some Arm Wrestling, as I have always wanted to have ago and have found a club to learn from.

I have also started working on grip/strength feats and hope to learn a lot from the GripBoard and people's feedback. At the moment I am able to, on a regular basis - tear a phone book, both small and big, crush an apple with one hand and am getting close to crushing a full can of soda.

Here is footage from this weekend;

Here is my Facebook page;

Cheers :D

Cool to keep a workout log here man. Lot's of learning stuff seeing your experience. Any certifications you are eyeballing gripwise as a short term goal? Nice lady on the 1.00 mark and around 3.08 btw :)

Yeah for sure, you mean like COC certs? I am new to the grip world, what other certs are there? I have both COC and Heavy Sport Grippers. Can close the 250lb Heavy Gripper but I don't think they are true to ther rating as I can close the 1.5 COC and just close the COC 2.

How much do you eat a day?

Your volume is very impressive especially for the weights your moving good luck with everything. Its great we have some high level strongman posting a log here to see the work needed to do to be at that level.

When is your next contest also?

Yeah for sure, you mean like COC certs? I am new to the grip world, what other certs are there? I have both COC and Heavy Sport Grippers. Can close the 250lb Heavy Gripper but I don't think they are true to ther rating as I can close the 1.5 COC and just close the COC 2.

The CoC certs can be found on the ironmind website. http://www.ironmind.com/ under the certification sections. If your closing those already with no gripper experience that is very impressive I'd be really interested to see what you could do on thickbar and pinch lifts.

I try to eat as much as possible, from good quality foods.

On training days I will usually have 2 shakes/liquid meals with fruit, coconut cream, milk, oats, eggs, honey and cinnamon and 2 bowls of oats with honey, cinnamon, cream and condensed milk, that alone adds to about 3000 calories.

Sorry for my reaction beeing a bit late Lambert, Stephen already gave some good info. Just stroll around here on this board and you will find tons of certification goals for grippers, thickbars, pinch etc. You will just have to make some small investments in the right materials that you would like to train with. But you can also make a lot of stuff yourself. You are strong dude for sure and making lots of volume training wise.

Bench felt real tight and real solid, technique, technique, technique!

Active Recovery

Snatches felt tight, got under a lot quicker, feel 100 was there, though my right thumb wouldn't lock, kept slipping.

Clean and Push Press was easy, 90 Push Press felt easy too, should've went heavier.

Deadlifts were easy, although it was tough keeping my form tight over 10 sets - I rested a lot longer today to insure my form was tight, look forward to testing my Dealift, feels strong - confident I will smash my PB.

Front Squats were tough with the eccentric, didn't expect that, I am assuming progressing on these will help my max Front Squat.

Bench Press felt awesome, form was great, leg drive was perfect and even un racking and re racking, my form still felt tight.

6" Board Press was a nice overload, had great success with boards when I benched 140kg at 16, I feel they are great for confidence. Will keep the weights the same, and progress from 6", 5", 4", 3", in the past my competition max was always 10kg less than what I could bench to a 3" board paused. So 130kg on Wednesday and 120kg today, sweeeeet :D

Finger lifts are new to me, was tempted to go for a max - but figured best be safe and go light, just get used to it first.

I also did some curls and rear delts today too, nothing special.

Be careful with the finger lifts dude, its easy to get a tendon avulsion from those. I don't even mess with them, its not worth it and i don't think the payoff is that rewarding cept maybe for bragging rights.... I would stick to the meat and potatoes thickbar lifting and perhaps block weights for a more immediate benefit to your strongman training.

Concept 2 Rower - 500m

Weight for Height - 5x1-56lb

Weight for Distance - 5x1-56lb

Shot Put - 5x1-16lb

Arm-Over-Arm was tough, sled is made from a car tyre and gets a lot of friction, so if I slow down and it stops I lose all my momentum.

Was hard to stay slow with Harness Pulls as the concrete floor is painted and my shoes with the most grip, wasn't gripping :/ haha

Log-Lift was good, 90 was quick and 100 was quick, although I don't think I could've grounded out any heavier today.

Atlas Stones was tough, didn't have any tacky and my arms were slipping, could feel my bicep so I left it at doubles.

Concept 2 Rower timer froze up again today, so I don't know what my time was, felt slow.

No distance recorded for W4H, W4D and Shot Put as I wasn't throwing it with all my might, was more just practising technique.

Standing Reverse Calf-Raise Machine - 5x5+5+5-390lb+345lb+300lb

Donkey Calf-Raise Machine - 5x5+5+5-390lb+345lb+300lb

Plyometrics were fun, Snatch and CPP were good considering - my hands are still a bit beat up and it made the hook grip a bit rough and tough to keep closed.

Powerlifts were great, tight form although my hip flexors were extremely tight, I need to spend a bit more time stretching my hips and quads.

While warming up for Snatch with the bar I dropped the bar onto my lower back, I was sweating like crazy by then and my hands slipped :/ got a small lump of fatty tissue and a it of bruise. Was fine at first, although was irritating against my belt during deficit deads.

Great day of training, attacked the weights during Snatch and CJ, short rest, just went at it like an animal.

Decided to reward myself with some extra 'carbs' along with my post training shake. Amelia made some yummy treats, so I indulged in a slice of 'Captains America' cake, 4 chocolate and marshmallow muffins, 2 banana and chocolate brownies and 2 chewy Anzac biscuits.

Time to stretch, clean up and get ready for - IRON MAN 1, 2 and 3 wooooh! #MOTIVATION
