Very corny but true, there's no time to bullshit. We have around 2 months to prepare for June 12th, WA Strongest Apple. Me & Sniper have our work cut out for us. We haven't hit the tire in months, kegs, farmer's walk use to be a strong point & now its weak. They're adding the Yoke walk in the contest, I've never hit that before. I heard it kills your lower back & core. Axle press requires one clean with as many presses as you can. Last year you had to clean & press each time. That should be better this year but I feel my Olympic lifting has improved a lot since then. We need to work on our grip training: Rolling thunder, fat bar training & CoC grippers. Right now we're starting to get really specific to our training since we know our events. Wednesday & Saturday is our event days. Monday & Thursday is squat/deadlift days whether heavy or speed. Tuesday & Friday is Olympic lifting/Pressing using fat bar, log press, kegs, kettlebells & BTN variations. Again having heavy & speed days. During these days the following will be incorporated on various days: Box jumping, plyometrics, p-chain work, heavy core work, rehab/prehab, met-cons, upper back work, grip training & active recovery.
Event days will be short & sweet but very intense, focusing on our events for that day. During the other workouts they will serve as the foundation for our success. Speed squats & box jumps have a tremendous carry over to strongman events. Olympic lifting will be a big factor in our success with the pressing. Learning how to not muscle it but to use our whole body & be efficient. The Jerk will help us this contest. Fat bar/farmer's deadlifts & will be a staple as well. These will all aid in our grip training & prepare for events in the farmer's walk & axle press.
The new thing that I think will aid us in our performance will be our met-con & sled work. Prowler sprints, sled pulling, "Cindy" variations & other met-cons.
The goal is for the next 2 months is to shut the fuck up & train!! Fuck all the bullshit mane!!!
