I haven’t heard anything about that yet, but I’m sure we will hear stuff as it gets closer. I have several figure friends, and between them, the strongmen, and the PLers, we should know!
I’ve decided that my shoulders need work. My overhead pressing is not what it should be, so this will change.
Yesterday I cleaned, then pressed/push pressed 8xbar, 6x65, 6x95, 6x105, 6x115. In between sets I did external rotation work with a band.
Pendlay rows, 5x8x95, very strict.
Flat bench, narrowish grip, 6x45, 6x95, 3x135. Shoulder (bicep tendon area?) was protesting so I left it.
Farmer RUNS, fuck walking, 8 minutes worth, 45 plate in each hand.
I’ve totally become intrigued by body building woman as of last week. I hope that show does come to town, i’m there with my binoculars.
…what happened with the womans nationals? if its not a touchy subject ;{

Nah, not overly touchy. Just combination of money and work. I have to go to TN next week for a family thing, and can’t really take much time off work right now.

Nah, we’re not in a lurch. I just remember seeing how beautiful your dog’s teeth were, lol, and figured if you do dogs, I’d rather send her your way than board her with a company or with my parents!
Lum does have purty toofers! I hope your trip goes well

I think there will be tents. Remember, I’m pasty too!
So I was able to pull my faux farmer handles with the weight I will be carrying for this competition - which is, in total, more than I sumo deadlift raw last I checked - at least I’ve got that going for me. I deadlifted them 4x, but could only manage a couple of steps.
I also did a bunch of cleaning and pressing, since that will be one of the events, but I was not quite able to get the clean with the weight for the event put together with the press for the event. But that’s okay, I pressed 5lbs more than the event will be pretty easily, so phew. I might work on continental cleaning the weight, but I did that with a huge bar once and nearly ripped my thumb off. It seems to be easier for me to clean with a log, but this will be an axle.
Also ordering a pair of fat grips from EFS sometime here.
