I am here to live, learn, and pass on.
Now that I am getting into routine with strongman training, it also means implementing movements I am not use to. These upcoming weeks will obviously be the times where I will know what I suck at, what I need to focus on, as far as certain muscle groups, and of course, technique. That goes without saying.
Squat till you burn . Literally. I was walking like an oompa-loompa.
Back squats - 1 x 8/6/4/2215 x 8
225 x 6
235 x 4
250 x 2
Unfortunately I had to repeat my first set of 8 because I was squatting too high. Not sure why I had my set up different (it was probably the combination of the heat and blood loss from my blood being drawn earlier) my stance was wider than usual.
Front squats - 3 x 8
135 x 8
140 x 8
145 x 8 (at this point I was drenched in sweat and the bar kept slipping....that's what she said)
DB Lunges - 3 x 10 (each leg)
KB Swings - 3 x 20
Sled pulls - 4 x 100 ft (210 lbs)
Ham curls - 1 x 100
Front squats are definitely something I'd like to get better at. My back (as I've stated before) needs to get stronger. However, I trained with my friend and fellow lifter, Vinnie, who kept challenging me and knew I wouldn't go down without a fight. These days are the days that get you stronger mentally and physically, days when you train alongside motivating and strong people.
