Hrpiii Amature Strongman competition
Hrpiii i thought it would be of much interest if you fill this thread with maybe your training leading upto the Strongman competition, then when its all over chuck some pics up of you competing and write a run down on things that went wrong and how they can be avoid in future competition, plus the things that went right which im sure they will overall.

I'm sure there will be a long long list of things that go wrong, because this is my first one, it's local and for fun, so the events are more entertaining for the crowd than contestants (I think). And since I've never entered or participated in one, it involves a lot of technique, which unless I have someone showing me (hands on), it's really difficult to practice the proper moves.
I can only give it my best, with the training I'm doing.. and I'm going to have fun with it. Now if I was back in my 20's, I'd be out for blood !! I currently have a training log on Mighty's forum, but I can post my routine here also. I do appreciate the support fella's. I'll take all the knowledge offered. Jim, those forward wrist curls are a *****!! Feeling good this morning though

At the moment leading upto the comp go heavier with lower reps like a powerlifter, get your body used to dealing with heavier weights than you would do usually. Have fun like you said be an entertainer much like a wrestler get the crowd on your side be like a gladiator, show them that Bodybuilders can be just as Powerful as your average Strongman and get MAD!

I've got an old bicycle tire, how about I start with flipping that, then work my way up to the one in the picture
 ..okay, nevermind.. I don't have that kind of time. I love lifting, so it's going to be a tough change for me..but for the contest, I will ..damn it.

8/19 it's official, my grip sucks to no end
deads -regular stance, dbl overhand grip warm ups 1x6 225 lbs 1x4 315 lbs 0 365 lbs even with straps 4x4 315 lbs partials in rack 1x8 225 lbs 1x4 275 lbs 1x1 295 lbs 2x4 275 lbs 1x6 265 lbs lat pulldown 1x10 165 lbs 1x10 180 lbs 1x8 195 lbs 1x3 210 lbs db rows 3x8 100 lbs 1x3 130 lbs hypers w/25 lbs 3x10 chin ups to stretch my back a little cable curls 1x12 110 lbs 1x12 130 lbs 2x5 150 lbs isol. cable curls 2x5 70 lbs my right hand grip is horrible. Once I get up over 300 lbs, the grip is gone, but around 250-275, I can do reps like nothing. I used a strap on the right hand for a majority of my deads,partials and rows. I wanted to do heavier weights with lower reps, but I can't with my current grip, my weakest point.

They had a real log at the gym today. One that needs to be worked on to have the log lift. They need to carve out and insert the handles. It's going to be pretty cool.
If they get this completed this week, they will have the log lift for most reps for certain time. Might need to tweak routine to allow for this. For shoulders, I'm already doing standing milit. in the squat rack (bonus for me). They may have the tire there next weekend also. They are trying to get all the pieces at the gym so some of us can train together on this..This would be a blast. Having some fun with fellow lifters.
