@T3hPwnisher and anyone else who wants to chime in, I’m trying to plan out how to train for the events at these next 2 comps. Any input is appreciated.
February events
Max Axle C&P: I think I’m good here, I’m using the axle for my strict press work during Grey Man and Bravo (hypertrophy block), and once I switch to Operator (strength block) I’ll use Axle Clean and Press away in my main cluster. Can also throw in a heavier continental here or there occasionally (probably the day I do the below).
Max Axle Deadlift: This is the one I’m not quite sure how to play. I will definitely use the axle for my deadlifts during Operator using one of the stock options, but not sure if I should start using the axle now during Mass or stick with the straight bar.
Hus Stone to Fingal Finger medley: I may buy a loadable Hus if I can find a deal, otherwise I can do sandbag carries during Operator as HIC work, MAYBE I can practice a medley by doing a carry to some type of C&P. Otherwise this is probably going to be an event where I just show up and go for it.
200lb sandbag over bar amrap: simple enough, work sandbag loading once a week during Op as HIC.
Arm over arm rope hoist: I may buy a rope and hook it to my sled for arm over arm sled pull, otherwise I am going to have to rely on all my rope chins to build strength for this.
May events
Sandbag throw series: I have a med ball to practice throwing and will probably buy a bigger one. Can do this before strength days as a warmup, 5/3/1 style.
Log C&P amrap: easy enough, will swap the axle for the log in my Operator cluster after the Feb comp.
Straight bar Dead amrap: again, will swap the axle for the straight bar after the Feb comp.
Truck pull: total wild card, I may be able to practice pulling my jeep if I get someone to sit behind the wheel, otherwise will work sled pulls and hope for the best.
