Comments:
I know last time this workout came up I said that session was the
toughest. Well now this one replaces that. Went out to Lancaster to
train so that meant packing stuff into the car the night before and
getting up early. I got up early, just not as early as last week (I hit
snooze three times). Rainy but no issues getting out there. Warmed up on
the rower again. Felt better this time. Could also just be that my left
side of my back and hip was feeling better this time. Calf work felt
pretty easy, despite doing the rower. Box touches, band rows and biceps
stretch followed that up nicely. Little achiness in the left hip on the
sumo style but just a little. Hip airplanes continue to be trial and
error. Trying to work all the different aspects. Balance more on my leg
than using the supporting structure to hold myself. Sometimes I feel I
make progress but other times it feels like I have a ways to go. Event
work followed. Much like last week, this was going to have warm-ups of
two parts of the main EOMOM workout. The pairing this time being
farmer’s walk and sandbag loads. Warm-up was modified a little in that
the second run was another plate jump for a 50’ run. Not bad. Prep for
sandbag with the rows again. Felt quite easy this time around. Then the
hard stuff. The stuff I was dreading. Heavy farmer’s walk for 50’ into
sandbag load for a triple. Repeat five times. Last time I attempted
this, the clips on the farmer’s walk had other plans. Tried something
different using rubber pipe tubing with a way to tighten it. Even put a
cut-up piece of one in it to try and make it tighter. It took a good
while to tighten all four with a screw driver. Seemed to be secure by
then. First run with the farmer’s walk was alright. Felt a little rough.
On the fourth run with the farmer’s walk, I noticed that I didn’t pull
hard enough and stay tight so my pick-up was not so good but I managed
to pick up speed on the run. I tried to fix that on the last run and it
went better. The rubber pipe stuff wasn’t cutting it and I had to shove
on the spring collars with it to ensure I could complete the workout
without any unintentional quick dropsets. Sandbag work was good for the
most part. Different yoke so I was trying to shove the sandbag over to
get outside the loading pins around the base of the yoke. I only had one
slip-up on the very last rep where I got a bad hold with my left hand. I
recovered and got the rep but it wasn’t to the standard of the other
reps on sandbag. I was breathing hard and heavy during this. I was
worried I wouldn’t finish after the second pairing but I knew I had to
do it after I got the third set down. Sometimes the work needs to make
you feel something. Felt good to be done though. After coming down from
the strongman high, my knees were so achy and tight haha. Stretched and
helped out a bit before heading home. Going to eat and sleep well
tonight.
I’m a little taller than 6′6″ and I really like to lift weights. I’m a competitor in amateur strongman contests. My hope is to become a competitive professional strongman. Currently I'm training for Northeast Regionals in Monaca, PA on 6/1/2024. I’m not a major competitor yet and I have a long way to go but I’m having fun.
