Last heavy workout before show time. Not able to lift at the other gym
again. Starting to become an issue. I took advantage of it and got a
little more sleep. Front squats with pauses were good. I felt consistent
with the sets and my bar speed was great. Trap bar work wasn’t so on
point. I didn’t have access to the mega one and I didn’t want to pay
more for another day pass for the gym 20 miles away. Thankfully, someone
else has bought a trap bar. Doesn’t have the high handle option like
mine so I had to elevate it with bumper plates so my stance was slightly
narrower. These were not the best feeling pulls I’ve done. Felt slow
all around. Home for one arm farmer’s deads. Same scheme as last week
but with more weight. I went a little heavier than written. I wanted to
make up for the lackluster trap bar work, the plate math was easier and I
most likely won’t be doing this event again after Nationals haha. Grip
still strong and less issues with the strain on the shoulder girdle. It
did give me some strain in my obliques and hips, especially on my right
side. Final heavy runs with the yoke in the front. I will not miss this
one. Same as last week, just more weight on the heavy run. I was not
feeling it warming up. Lower back was achy and sore; just had to tell
myself that my pain was stronger. This heavy run was surprisingly faster
than last week. My lighter run was slower by a bit on the previous week
though. I’ll take the good and the bad here I guess. Ab wheel stuff
felt good on the midsection. Got twelve days to go.
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.
