No! U no be die!
You’re really fucking strong. You should totally do that strongman. If you look at the people who do well at strongman, they’re not just strong, they’re also fast and agile (eg Mariusz). With all the Crossfitting, I’m pretty sure you’d rock.

Thanks! I’m going to definitly give it a try. I’ve done little events that were strongman-ish and loved it, but it’s not too often they have women’s divisions that are do-able. Super excited about this strongman fitness thing. Could be what I’ve been looking for.

Kalle–this is awesome! Do you have a log somewhere? I’d love to follow. One of my guy friends that was really into NAS got out of it because he said training events drained him so much. Do you have a particular training schedule?
Lula–check out the link kalle posted! The women’s weights look doable. I’m sure we would still be on the lighter end of the competition at 135 but fun all the same. I am not defined by winning a trophy.[/quote]
Training for 175lb Arnold Strongman World Championship (2013) - Training Logs - Forums - T Nation if that doesn’t work its “200lb strongman training” in the normal log section
Yes it is draining, real draining. Mondays are fun after events on the weekend…
I train Monday Overhead/shoulders
Tuesday Deadlifts/back/hamstrings
Thursday cg bench/chest/triceps
Saturday events
i follow 5/3/1 progression for the main lifts except for deadlift. Also more cardio now since I am trying to drop weight.
sorry for the hijack i feel like I am doing a lot of that today lol
Thanks Kalle!
I wanna do strongman fitness shit!!
always wanted to.
MiMZ—do it!!
I’ve tried but it was hard to get started without much support. The closest group i could find was nearly 2 hours away…and the closest comps were states away…and now my knees are knackered.
I just want to look and feel good for now…I’ll worry about hulking up later.

You know how sometimes people try to be funny and insult people by saying “YOU SUCK AT LIFE!!”
Well nobody ever says, “You’re so good at life!!” as a compliment.
But I think you’re really good at life.
That’s all.
Hall—I learn all my sav-ness from you.
Spock—awww!! Compliment accepted!!
Sometimes I feel strong, and then I look at the events at these strongWOman events and shut the hell up. Or I go to brutes log. Tomato, potato. The OH DB press at the Europa event is 80lbs! I will get there. I got a new yoke today that I’m gunna dick with on Thursday. Yoke walk for women at the europa is 450lbs. I loaded the yoke up with 450 and…got it off the ground but took no steps. Lol. Tomorrow is the first day of the crossfit open. I shouldn’t be too sore and I’m eating carbs like a champ. Busy little bee. I will take some melatonin and make sure I get good sleep. Boss said I could work half days on Wednesdays this month so I can sleep in a bit and be well rested. 
no pics?
no vids?
Awesome boss!
With yoke i try not to go max heavy I train below contest weight until I am fast and bump it up 25-50lbs I try to limit it to 2-4 runs tops cause that thing KILLS ME
Sorry edgy
Kalle—awesome. Good to know. I’ll prolly PM you Thursday wif some footage. Mind taking a gander and critiquing?
Agreed with Kalle on yoke programming. I usually only try the comp weight once or twice before I compete. It destroys me otherwise, and foot speed is pretty much everything in that event (besides a solid core haha). And Kalle is the man for form critiques. He’ll get ya right quick.
That makes me happy to hear. Shit was heavy as fook. I have lots and lots of work to do.
Just popping in to say hi!
80 lb OH DB press??? You can’t snatch it up there, right? That’s insane.
Forgive my ignorance - what’s a yoke?
