Doing Dumb Stuff as a College Kid

Training Training Logs
2744

My getaway was amazing. I got to do a lot of exploring of a city I love and then a city I wound up in. I think this is important to note because it shows I need to leave my home town when I finish college

Program starts tomorrow and I’m ready to lock in for the competition and lock in for my last semester

Alabama’s Strongest Man Prep (ASMP)

W1D1

Time: 60 min

Serratus wall reach: 12,10
Banded Face Pull + External Rotation + OHP: 3x10
Axle Z-Press: 100x12,11,9,8
ISO chest press (db bench with alternating sides): 50x12,10,8
Half Kneeling facepull: 15psx3x15
Zottoman curl: 20x15, 9+4+2, 15x15
DB French Press: 50x20,15,15

Notes:

  • First time really working with a coach so that should be fun
  • Hand re-check went well. Now my blood pressure post weekend of beer and nicotine was terrible but that is to be expected
  • I think the hardest part of the hand and dog stuff was it felt like I had my identity stripped away. Literally in the course of 2 days, I had to have my mom watch Lily and then not have a hand to use (plus all the shit from the antibiotics). I have Lily back and my hand is fine so I am out of that hole which feels great
  • I can make coffee again so I’m getting off the white monsters
  • Cutting back the ability to drink from once a week to once every 2 weeks

@T3hPwnisher the most underrated part of omad with protein shakes through the day is having the food crash at night. Between the heat and porkchops with rice, I was so tired after lunch

It’s so awesome being able to just gorge at one meal vs having to have sensible portions throughout the day.

  • @T3hPwnisher I bought a final fantasy MTG deck and after seeing one of the poster in the pharma section, I finally looked up his name and realized Kefka is a card in the deck haha. I never played FF
  • Finishing up the nerdy stuff, last Thursday I played my first game of DnD. I liked it. I learned my local library has adult game nights on Wednesday. I went to play MTG but then I learned they have over 400 games you can play for the night. It’s really really neat.
  • Finished the Hobbit. It’s a really great book
  • rows from today. I decided to test the pendlay heavier to get an idea of what I can do

He’s the villain of FF6, and the greatest in the series. It’s a shame that dude co-opted the name.

Nice! What did you play as? I’ve been in a running game with my buddies that are stationed all over the country. I’ve been playing a paladin in that campaign.

Also I have that LMNT hat. They sent it to me last deployment, great for keep sweat outta the eyes.

I was shadow heart from the baulders gate 3 promo stuff (a cleric). I really wanted a necromancer but I didn’t know you had to level up to that

Funny enough I’m picking up the essentials kit and players handbook off Facebook marketplace for $20 today

Yep!

Funny enough I refuse to wash it because the sweat deposits and stains are just fitting for an lmnt hat haha

  • Yeah everything feels good. Pretty excited for this prep

Slightly derailed a day training wise. So much studying to do, not because I didn’t study over the weekend but because I need to do well

Worth noting, my hips feel amazing after the loaded carries. No idea why. Easily the best they’ve felt since my adductor thing in November

ASMP W2D1

Time: 53:40

Serratous wall slide: 2x12
Facepull + External rotation + OHP: 2x10
Axle Z press: 110x10,10,7,7 (3 min rest)
Iso chest press: 50x13,12,12 (2 Rir)
Half Kneel Facepull: 20psx15,13,13,13
Zottman curl: 20x11,10,10,9+2
French press: 60x12,10,11,12

Notes:

  • Supposed to be 2 Rir on axle Z press. The second set of 10 was mostly definitely one Rir
  • Studying is going. Trying healthy habits to keep from getting too bogged down
  • I drank so much coffee today. Good thing I make my own cold brew because it would have been stupidly expensive
  • Rant time. This one is about generative Ai and local coaches. We have this local strongman guy who I absolutely hate. Typical dude who presents as an leader and alpha male but is cheating on his wife and trying to buy female athletes hotel rooms to “visit”. Performance wise, I heard someone describe him as “a mediocre state level athlete who took a bunch of gear to be a shit higher level athlete” which is accurate. The dude cherry picks his comps to make himself look good. For example, he puts “World Strength Games 2x champ” when this is a tiny show in Utah. He’s never been to nationals or any high level show that means something but acts like big man on campus. He posted a May 4th thing that put his clients and him as sith lords. 2, like you know the whole rule of 2, of the best parts were that there was nothing from Star Wars on it and it looked like a poster for the gay bar we go to in Nola. This dudes homophobic so I just find that so funny
