6/30 event training
This past sunday was a great event training day. Started out with the log cleana nd press for reps. I definately feel weaker since my injury. I managed to work my way up to 250lbs for 1, but that was a rough 250. I just felt deflated. I know I have to keep working harder on my overhead presses to make up for the ground that I lost.
We followed th log up with yoke carry, 500x80x2, then 720x40x2. Felt good to get that yoke. It did feel on the heavy side. I thought in a prior competition that I did 800 and that felt much easier than this but who knows. Either way, have to keep improving.
After that, I did some sandbag carries because I have a competition on Aug 3rd and there is a hussafel stone carry. I know much different but you have to train with what you have, 250lbsx120ftx2sets. I was GASSED.
Finally, we ended the dae with some frame deadlifts from a 20" pull, just to get really heavy. Did 550x6 and 700x4. I have had an absolutely amazing deadlift week this past week between the frame and then hittting 675lbs from a 16" pull on the 27th. NEW PR!
I have decided now that I am going to compete in SportsFest Strongman 5. Since I won last year in the HW class, it only makes sense that I compete again and retain my title. The only thing that deters me is the first event is the Circus DB C+P and that is the event that I got injured doing. Got to overcome my fears though and just blow it away.
